Food Inc. is an insightful film about the American food industry and how this food is produced for the consumers. American food is produced by very large multinational companies in ways that are unconventional to say the least. The exact mechanics behind the production of this food is deliberately kept from the public perhaps in an attempt to avoid public protest that would result from knowledge of the truth. Contrary to the norm, the American food system has shifted from a farm base to a production line base. This means that the normal ways of growing food on farms have been ...

I believe there should be no breed specific legislation banning pit bulls in the United States. There does not exist a pit bull problem in America, but rather a human problem.

After the effective defeat of the Indians and their subjugation in the name of manifest destiny, American reformers (including The Friends of the Indian) sought to “Americanize” Native Americans by refocusing land ownership through allotment of private property as opposed to attributing lands to tribes. Furthermore, boarding schools were created that would re-educate Native Americans in the ways of white, Christian, American life, leading them to abandon their traditional Indian identity in favor of becoming fully assimilated into the US citizenry.
Despite these ostensibly good intentions, however, there were several critics of these boarding schools, who would argue ...

Indian/Native American Boarding Schools

Native Americans were marginalized and suppressed by the US government in the 19th century. Given that the Native Americans were the minority in the country and acted as a threat to the state, they were forced into reservations where they could be easily monitored by the US government (Adams 67). Though the Native Americans were oppressed in their livelihood, some chose to continue embracing their culture and not that of the foreigner.

Introduction

The present territorial domains of the United States (US) were a result of expansionism that came in the years that followed its independence in 1776. Prior to expansion, much of the US included only the 13 original states and territories that spanned the Midwest. A series of colonial trysts with Spain over its territories has led to the gradual westward expansion of the US towards the Pacific Ocean. White American settlers have since mingled with Hispanic and Asian populations, both of which have settled through colonization and waves of immigration. The rise in mining activities, particularly triggered by the Gold ...
