growing up can be both exciting and painful

Growing up is both exciting and painful from my own experiences. When you have to grow up it's painful when you have to start paying bills and taking care of your self. You are no longer your parents responsibility you to have figure things out more by yourself. The exciting things are you get to have more fun. You also get to do what you want more like you do thing more by yourself instead of always as a family. On down side your no longer your mom and dad little girl and sometimes you just wish you could go back and be that for your parents. Growing up is hard but its also is rewarding for your parents to see how all their hard has paid off . When you are able to leave the nest and go out into the world and handle yourself respectably.

The American Revolution compared to Women rights in the 20th century and when is breaking the law justified

Is there really a time when breaking the law is justified? At the end of this blog I hope to be able to answer this question, with two events in history that Americans broke the law. They felt like their rights weren’t being upheld by the government. The first event was during the American Revolution. The second was during the 20 century when woman felt like their rights was unequally compared men.

The American Revolution was when the colonists took the law in their own hands. To get the type of government they felt they deserve. The colonists at first didn’t have their natural rights. So they started a war to break away from their government and start their own. They also were rebelling way before the war the war was an end result of the government not changing their ways. The colonist was justified in breaking the law. The government was supposed to be helping their people instead of abusing the power they had.

The U.S. government has not upheld the rights of the people since the deal at the end of 1789. Since the American Revolution Americans has broken the law, because they felt like their right weren’t upheld by the U.S. government. This time was in the 20th century when women felt like their rights weren’t equal to men so they started “The Women’s Right Movement”. Women came together to put these in effect in the most democratic ways: through marching, petition driver, lobbying and public speaking. There ways times when some women were arrested for public misconduct. In order to let the government know that women were more than wives and mothers. That they could do just as much as a man or more when it came to equal work and pay and the right to vote. This group had every right to break the law their rights weren’t equal to men and they just wanted equal rights and respect as men. I personal want to thank the women who stood up for their rights and many others rights. If it wasn’t for them women today will still be treated unfairly.

There is a time when breaking the law is justified. I believe that it’s justified when your rights are begin violated. As the colonists and the women of the 20th century believed that their right weren’t being upheld so they took matters into their own hands and was ready for whatever consequences good or bad.

What I think about Thomas Paine's Common Sense

- What did you learn about life during the revolutionary era from reading this document?

That the American colonies hated that the British had control on what they did and how they where running things. I also learned that there where also many different things that took place, in order for the American colonies to break away from the British way of thinking. One thing that took place was the writing of a pamphlet title Common Sense the author was Thomas Paine.

- What surprised you the most about what you read?

What surprised me the most was when he first wrote this pamphlet he didn't put himself as the author. I understand why but it was a well thought out pamphlet it was simple and cut to the point . He wrote what everyone wanted to say he basicly said lets just cut all ties with the British and lets just do this on are on. He said that they already attack us so they made clear that its over so lets end it.

When is Breaking the Law Justified?

1. List five purposes of the government

One purposes of the goverment is to protect the people. Another purposes is to help the people get jobs so they can generate other things in the country. The goverment purposes is to make money and make sure that it is authentic. The goverment purposes is also helping people to get heathcare. A goverment purpose is basically to run their country.

2. Would you be willing to join a revolution if our goverment was not fulfilling the purposes of goverment you listed above? Why? Why not?

I would be willing to join a revolution if our goverment was not fulfilling the purposes of goverment. In fact these are some now day problems that are goverment are facing and if thier was a revolution started I would join it. The reasons why I would join a revolution is because to me the goverment has drop the ball in many ways a goverment is meant to help thier country not hurt them. I don't understand how other countries could have free heathcare and things are more stable then a country that charges a arm and legs for healthcare for their own people.

Primary Source Document Reflection

Benjamin Wadsworth, A Well-Ordered Family

- What did you learn about life in the colonies from reading this document?

That they where very serious about there family life and how the husband and wife treat each other.

-What surprised you the most about what you read?

Nothing that I read surpised me there was somthings points that I agreed with and think that some people get twisted about how the handle there marriage.

- Compare and contrast the differences between American life today and life for Americans during the colonial era.

The American life today at frist had gotten away from the basic way of thinking but in a way we are getting back to it. The colonial era was on the right path but they just took it to the extreme .

If you decided to immigrate

1.2. Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?to the United States (today)? Consider what they lose and what they can gain in your argument.

1. What can movtivate immigrants to come to the U.S. is the hope and dream to have a better life here than where they are coming from. They also may want to become wealthy and have their own business. They could also want to show there family and friends that it is possible to have freedom and to have a better life. What they gain is a state of having more to live with being more happy. What they will lose is aome of there culture and being with there family over there.

2. Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?

2. If I was to immigrate somewhere else it most likely be for economic reasons. Just like most Americans today that move from state to state for a better job or to make more money. That would be the main and only reason why I would immigrate somewher else. I would also move for economic reasons because I believe that economic places have better school and things that would effect my family.
