When is Breaking the Law Justified

Five purposes of the Government

1. Preserving national security
2. Solving conflicts between people
3. Protecting the environment
4. Ensuring the safety and wealth of the people
5. Socializing young people


Yes I would be willing to join a revolution if our Government was not fulfilling the purposes of the governments I listed. Because these are important things that needs to be required by the government since you have to pay for everything. The government should help with some type of protection. If they didn’t solve conflicts between people then there will most likely more deaths in the world than it is now by killings. Also there would be criminals everywhere. People stealing out of stores and not paying for anything then companies will not want not want to provide for people anymore if they are going to steal.

Assignment 7: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl

I learned that life in this colony were this little girl was growing up was all about slave owning. The little girl did not know that she was a slave, but she knew that her father was a worker. She talked about how he would go to other plantations and be the working leader. Also I learned that not all people were slaves. Like her grandmother who was free. There were all color slaves in this, because she talked about how light skinned her mother and father were.

What surprised me most about what I read was that most children didn’t know they were someone else merchandise. The way I knew this is because she didn’t know that she was a slave. So it was very obvious that other children didn’t know that they were slaves as well.

Back in those days people were slaves and they had to work in farms. People trade these African American’s for work. This was not likely. Today people don’t trade people for any thing and also there are not any slave owners their aren’t even slaves today. African’s back then were scared to look the white man in the face. Most of these slaves were not paid to work in plantations. Today in like there are a lot of African American owners throughout the world. As well as people have to get paid to work.

Assignment 1: Should I Stay or Should I Go

Thinking about it what makes most immigrants to come to the United States would have to be with economics. The reason I say this is because in other countries they don’t have as much freedom as they would over here. They want to be over here to maybe start their own business and live better lives. When immigrants move to the U.S they gain a lot of freedom and employment. If you look around today in the U.S you will see most immigrants own businesses. They may not loose much when they move over here, it’s just the fact that they have to get a rights proof that they can be over here.
Really I wouldn’t want to move anywhere other than the U.S. this is because I love my country and we have a lot more privileges than we would in any other country. This is both economics and freedom reasons. We have all the business in the world that you could maybe work at to get wealthy. We also are free to do as much as we want.
