Historians must find sources, analyze them, think about them and decide which stories are worth telling and which ones should be left in the background or completely ignored.

A flag is a special representation and a Brandmark of a country. It plays an imperative function of uniting a nation. It is an important and emotionally connecting symbol that represents the sovereignty state of a nation to the world and to its bearers.

The flag is one of the most important in every country. In fact, in addition to being a symbol of unity of the land, it is a reminder of the history of a country.

Because of this significance, the flag is one of the most respected symbols in any given country. However, it is unfortunate to note that the importance and appreciation accorded to the ...

While some social analysts argue that the globalization has brought about the economic growth and hence reduced poverty and facilitated economic equality, some argue that it has global division of labor that ...

Abstract

Freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of association, freedom of assembly and petition are all part of this great nation’s democratic freedom of expression. Protected by the First Amendment, freedom of expression, as the Supreme Court has written, is the matrix of every other form of freedom.

In 1984, during a Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, one Gregory Lee (Joey) Johnson participated in a political demonstration to protest against the then President the late Ronald Reagan and some Dallas-based corporation’s policies.

The Confederate Flag acts a divisive tool in the current USA population that affects all the people. There is no doubt that the original purpose may not have been to elevate the white supremacy, but things have changed. Today, the Confederate Flag symbolizes racial hatred and segregation. Ryan (2015) noted that George Wallace brought out the perspective of racial discrimination associated with the Confederate Flag. With the Confederate Flag flying high in the White House in a civil rights discussion with Robert Kennedy (the then attorney general), Wallace declared “segregation today, Segregation tomorrow, and Segregation forever.” The declaration did not ...

The recent Supreme Court ruling rendering gay marriages legal across the union has been received with the usual excitement and disappointingly self-righteous arguments on both sides of the fence. I do not want to pretend to know any better, and I trust Americans to make of Obergefell v. Hodges, whatever they may, except I am taken aback at how the Supreme Court forced itself into what is a basically a social issue. It strikes me that a nation of 300 million people can fail convince itself of whether some of its own have a right to choose their marriage partners. In the same ...
