    Case Summary: The Case For Old Glory

    What do you consider when you hear the words red, white, and blue? Do you naturally think about the flag of the United States of America? Our flag, as we probably see it today, is not the first flag with stars and stripes to be made. After the original thirteen colonies declared independence in 1776, Betsy Ross would sew the first U.S. Flag displaying the colors red, white and blue. The First Continental Congress on June 14, 1777, changed the shape of the stars from the circle pattern of the Ross design to the block shape we recognize today. Congress would give meaning to the colors of the flag in 1777. White would imply purity and innocence; red would be hardiness and valor; blue would become vigilance, perseverance…

    In What Ways Do the Poems ‘Flag’, ‘Out of the Blue’ and ‘Mametz Wood’ Convey the Emotions and Images of Conflict?

    ‘Flag’ considers the value of patriotism as symbolized by the flag, and explores ideas of national identity, with a running metaphor comparing to a flag. It considers how the flag is used and exploited, this creates sympathy, and the refrain explains subtly that the flag is ‘just a piece of cloth’. In each of the first four stanzas a question and answer is given which both asserts and challenges the power and value of the flag telling the reader, it can control countries; it can motivate men; it can change the minds of cowards; it can live forever. This shows a high level of power and in a way shows hidden personification as its capabilities (excluding the final point) are of some intelligence that would only seem human. In the final stanza the person asks how he can possess such a powerful item, and the answer to the earlier questions is revealed, with having possession of the flag can have terrible consequences. He addresses the reader directly: ‘the blood you bleed’. He follows this in the final stanza, by revealing what the ‘piece of cloth’ is, but also revealing the consequences of taking the flag, losing your independence, the freedom to make your own decisions and, it is implied, your morality. This only makes the reader more curious.…

    Confederate Flag Research Paper

    The confederate flag originally stood for southern pride, but most people argued it stood for racism, slavery, and hatred. The negative connotation of the flag did not come until after the Confederacy adopted the flag in 1863. The leaders of the Confederate Army in Virginia wanted a distinctive flag, so they could distinguish themselves from the United States. There were three versions of the confederate flag. The first flag was greatly disliked because of its strong resemblance to the United States flag. The second flag incorporated the battle flag for Virginia and did not last because of aesthetic reasons. The third flag also resembled the battle flag for Virginia, with an all white background and a red vertical stripe, resulting in the third flag not lasting very…

    Puerto rico

    Puerto Rico has been a U.S. territory for 115 years, yet Puerto Ricans remain second-class citizens. If it becomes a state, Puerto Ricans will no longer be exempt from Federal income tax and even more people will be forced on to the public’s benefits paid by the government. There are some positive truths to look at also, as journalist Catherine Lozada points out: “Puerto Rico costs the U.S. over $22 billion a year. However, as a state it will contribute nearly $2 billion to the U.S. treasury each year.” There will always be that one question which longs to be answered, and that is: What’s keeping Puerto Rico in Political limbo?…

    Why Is Puerto Rico So Important To The United States?

    Whether or not Puerto Rico becomes the 51st state is an important issue that has been thought about for the last century. Maintaining Puerto Rico’s current status as a commonwealth would be beneficial because it would not lead to any drastic repercussions. Puerto Rico is an island closer to the Dominican Republic than it is to the U.S mainland. It is about three times the size of Rhode Island, and has almost four million residents.…

    The US territory Puerto Rico has been a territory of the United States for over 108 years; that’s longer than any state or territory in American history for waiting for statehood. Puerto Rico has been big part of our history ever since the start of our great nation. For 108 years they have enjoyed and contributed to the projection of the United States and financial support of their island, but instead we exploit them with low wage labor, tax benefits to big corporations, and no education support to them. Puerto Rico has always been patriotic for the United States and as nation, to not make them a state can be classified as economic terrorism/ exploitation.…
