Argumentative Essay: The Hollywood Walk Of Fame

396 Words2 Pages

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a very special place that visitors love to adore. When a celebrity passes away, they place flowers at the star. If there is an accident, fans come to pray together at the Hollywood star. When controversy strikes there is a situation on Hollywood Boulevard near the star. However, Wednesday was the first time in a long time where a star was so mutilated that charges will be pressed. A man took some sort of tool and allegedly decided to dig up Donald Trump's star for legal fees for others. The star was completely destroyed. How much does it cost to replace a Hollywood Walk of Fame star How much does it cost to replace a star? According to several outlets, the fee could be as much at $10,000 and it's going to take a while. This isn't like pouring concrete. This includes labor, making the star again and most importantly the security to keep everyone safe. People forget this cool exhibit is on the sidewalk. It's a 24/7 location where walking, riding and even skipping is possible. Ruining a section of sidewalk (of course, it's more than that) could create more problems. …show more content…

It's illogical to take tools to a metro area art location and star ripping out a public exhibit merely to make a political point. Don't forget the point in the first place isn't that great either. However, destruction of property doesn't help anyone. In fact it draws more attention in the wrong sort of way. This alleged act of ruining the Hollywood Walk of Fame is shocking and revealing. If someone feels so empowered to do something like this as a stunt with the cameras rolling, we have to ask why. Can there be a point in our society today that finds any reason to do anything because someone has an opinion about a

Powers argues that “no president has ever rescinded a national monument created his predecessor,” in order to make people think that the president is taking this way too far. And unlike the other argument, he supports perfectly his argument in a convincing way by stating that “a recent article in the Virginia Law Review contends that only Congress, not the president, has the legal authority to do so.” By this, he appeals once more to logic, and lets his audience wondering, why is the president making such changes? After that, Powers says that “law is being challenged every week,” where he leaves people concerned again. Also, he probably means that Donald Trump could make even more changes during his presidency.

If I asked you who was an american hero, who would be the first person you think of? I would automatically think of Jackie Robinson.

It’s going, going, gone! Home run Dodgers! Baseball is an exciting event to enjoy, but it wasn’t always so enjoyable for people. Jackie Robinson was a hero to others and inspired them to be the best they could be no matter what color they were.

There are no riots or shootings or anything super drastic going on to take it down. However, I believe this would happen if it were to be removed. Most people in Georgia are not bothered by the memorial because if they were, this conversation would have been had a long time ago. Actually, it probably would have never even been made if people felt it was that big of a deal. I think that if the matter calls for attention then steps should be taken to try to find a solution to the problem.

In the news today, a continual debate can be found about the significance of Confederate monuments and if they should remain or be removed. Confederate monuments that have been erected throughout the U.S. should be kept because of the preservation of America’s history. For instance, in the article, The Unbearable Lightness of Confederate-Statue Removal, the author lists how slaveholder monuments aren’t the only statues being vandalized, but the Lincoln Memorial and Mount Rushmore are other symbols of U.S. history that some believe need to “blow up” (Murdock). Every historical symbol can have both people who appreciate it and who oppose it. That doesn’t mean that we should tear down all symbols, but

In 1968, both Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy were assassinated, leaving the United State in a state of uncertainty. With a nation in need, the Woodstock Music and Art fair arose in 1969, standing against the background of the past year (Evans and Kingbur 20). Max Yasgur, a dairy farmer who leased his farm to the Woodstock promoters, once said to the millions of fans at the festival, “The important thing that you've proven to the world is that... a half a million young people can get together and have three days of fun and music and have nothing but fun and music, and I God Bless You for it!” (Gerdes 4), and that is exactly what the crowd of more than 400,000 fans did.

Once within a public area, pictures are allowed to be taken of you with or without your consent, but even so, many of the students failed to understand and grasp this idea. A large group of the students who were surrounding the journalist believed that he was disrespecting them for being too close and personal while trying to take photos of their tents, which can lead into the forms of ethics. What may be perfectly ethical to one person may not be the same to another, simply because of there being no standard for values between individuals. In the video, which can be found on youtube.com, the journalist appeared to be respectful to the protestors even despite the stressful situation. Surrounding, yelling, and pushing others, whether they be a journalist or not, on a public space while asking for respect can be seen as wrong to some, but it appeared as though the protesters showed a disregard for such views.
