Russian Bank Scandal
550 Words - 2 Pages

.... structure. The question must be ask, “Where is all this money coming from”? This money could be money that was given by the International Monetary Fund to help rebuild the fallen Russian economy. That money could now be being used to support criminal activities. As we see now this could be not only an international problem, but a domestic problem also. In today’s warfare the victor is left in rebuilding the fallen enemy. In this case the United States won the cold war and is now left to pay the bill for rebuilding Russia. The money that is being use comes directly from taxpayers. I believe that this is the reason why Mr. O’Harrow believes this will have ....

.... a greater grasp of their reading and writing skills then the average laborer and usually thought themselves exemplary enough in some way to justify an autobiography.

The numbers of autobiographies rise with the amount of influence of political and labor organizations (39). So there are ....


Frederick Douglass' Speech For Individual Rights
1218 Words - 5 Pages

.... began his speech with an important point. He said that he wasn’t part of the celebration because it was not his holiday to celebrate. Douglass believed that the Fourth of July is "the birthday of your National Independence and your political freedom.” This quote was meant to make his listeners realize that even though all men are created the same way, they aren’t given the same natural rights. Black people do not have the same rights that were granted to them by the founding fathers of the United States, and there is no reason for the blacks to be celebrating the nation’s birthday.
