Is America in turmoil?
President Trump has a limited filter. His twitter “war” (which could lead to a nuclear war). Trump calls North Korea’s leader Kim Jung Un a “madman”. In response Un calls trump a “dotard” which is “a person, especially an old person, exhibiting a decline in mental faculties; a weak-minded or foolish person.” According to dictionary.com. America would be better off if everyone just went with our commander in chief. People may not agree or like what Trump does or says but he is still our president. When the people of the United States go against Trump that is when we could have problems, because there is no greater enemy than yourself. For example the greatest casualties for the United States is not World War 1 or World War 2 it is the Civil war.
With recent events form trump on the taking a knee during the national anthem trump says “wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say get that son of a B---- off the field right now he’s fired.” These are strong word from our president whether I agree or not should not matter he is the president and I should back him. I’m not telling the owners of their NFL teams what to do. But if I owned a NFL team I would have a talk with my general manger and he would have a talk with the players. If the players still did not comply I would take another step fine them. If that still doesn’t work suspend them. If It does go that far as terminating the contract I would not dispute, because if it gets that far it’s no longer just about the flag. It is now a matter of you coach and general manager told you to do something. They are your bosses and whether you like it you have to do what they say.
Trumps view on the Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry when an invitation was given to go to the white house. Trump says on twitter “going to the white house is considered a great honor for a champion team. Stephen Curry is hesitating, therefore the invitation is withdrawn!” The use of the strong punctuation is supposed to be perceived as an emotional connection. In response LeBron James tweeted “you bum@StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to the white house used to be a great honor until you showed up!

    Good on you for tackling a social, political issue! And good on you for bringing so many conversations to light! At some point, we will need to discuss the NFL situation because that entire conversation is about argumentation: how do we express our ideas in ways that speak clearly and invite healthy debate? It's a fantastic time to be an American as so many crazy things are up in the air. Cheers for not being afraid of taking that on, Adam.

    I respectfully disagree with you, Sir. Standing behind a president that has shown a lack of respect for others and is loose at that lips is not a man I want to stand behind. I don't care if he is the president. Now if he were Jesus, then I would be right there holding the inside of your pocket. Now, on the other hand, I believe everyone should stand for the National Anthem. It shows disrespect to our past, current and future soldiers that have or will fight for this country. Stand up for God sake and show some respect!

      that is your right as an american to disagree with me. as stated in the first amendment in the Constitution. but also it is their right to freedom of speech and the right to a peaceful protest. the first amendment.

I believe that the class went well overall. The things discussed during the class was a reiteration of information but broken down into detail. I succeeded in the tests. They were not easy test but they were a lot of common sense. I did not succeed in the blogs. Mainly Because I don’t like to write. My performance this semester reflects my motivation. I started out well then I passed the tsi and my motivation went down hill. As well as my grades. In the future I plan on doing things differently. That being I will study more. Find or make time to do homework or work that is due.

Charles M. Blow’s Library visit, then held at gunpoint? Charles Blow’s article titled “ Library Visit, Then Held at Gunpoint? ” published in the New York Times Stood out to me because the way Charles Blow portrays his son intrigues me. Charles Blow portrays his son, who is a Yale student, as an above average student. He starts off by telling us that it’s Saturday evening and his son is at the library. Then he moves on to tell you that since his son was at the library he might as well put in a request for some multimedia equipment he will need for a future project. The way Charles Blow’s language changes throughout the article is a representation of how professional writers will use a certain type of word and change it to something else in the passage. For example in Charles Bow’s article the title says “held at gunpoint”, in the subheading he uses the word “detained”, later in the passage he states that his son was “accosted” by a campus police. Charles Blow states that later in the...

      Barbara Graham's article "Confessions of a Quit Addict" spoke more to me than David brook's article "It's Not About You" because she uses real life examples that are every day things and that I have seen in people or have happen to me. Such as when she states in the second paragraph that even as a little girl her views and how she felt about things didn't change. As for me when I set my mind on a idea or belief that's what I am going to think or believe. Whereas in David Brooks article he gives ideas that are more complicated and even difficult to understand. He talked about how children were structured growing up and how that no one would prepare them for reality of a "wide open and unstructured" then he goes on to compare this generation to the past generations, who went of f and got married, bought houses and had kids. Which I have never liked the idea of comparing to the past of others because I could not have changed or imp...
