Did you know that the 9/11 attack was not the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center? On the 11th of September in the year 2001, Islamic terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes and crashed two of them in the World Trade Center in New York City. One of the other planes was crashed into the Pentagon in Virginia while the last plane was driven to the ground in a field in Pennsylvania. 9/11 changed American society by improving security but also by increasing ongoing wars. Immigration and deportation were also increased because of 9/11.
In Mahele of 1848 a huge great land revolution had started, and the land was divided among the 4 categories, which was land belonging to the king, land belonging to the ali’i or chiefs, land that was able to be purchased by the foreigners, and land that was worked by the maka’ainana or the commoners (Borreca). Kamehameha III called the Mahele to successfully complete the division of islands of Hawaii and was expecting the Mahele to work out effectively, but the whole thing turned out oppositely. The Mahele was able to avoid a war peacefully between the foreigners and the Hawaiians, but the Hawaiians had negative effects for their new lifestyle. The Great Mahele was very unjustified, because of the division it made, the choice for dividing, and making lot of Hawaiians in danger.
The Mahele was suppose to be a good thing to protect the Hawaiian land and native Hawaiians(Borreca Star Bulletin). King Kamehameha the 3rd split up the land in three, 1 for him, 1 for commoners, and 1 for ali. This plan changed when King Kamehameha got word that tahiti was taken over by force. King Kamehameha then took land from the commoners to give to the foreigner hoping that they wouldn't try to take over Hawai’i by force. The Mahele was unjustified because it had negative political, economic, and social impacts.
Freedom is a value that most people share. But when individuals take their freedoms too far, life can start to spiral out of control. This is the case in the book Nothing But the Truth, by Avi. Philip Malloy, a student at Harrison High School, took his freedoms too far when he started to hum and sing along to the National Anthem when the rule is to be quiet. But, Philip is not trying to be patriotic, he is purposefully being a pest.
On March 16, 1968, the Mai Lai Massacre took place in a small village in Vietnam. More than five hundred people were murdered by soldiers under the control of William Calley.

One of the officers even claimed he did not see a single military aged man in the entire village.
The Satanic Panic The Satanic Panic was a series of accusations of ritual abuse that started out at McMartin Preschool and slowly spread to other children in and out of the community. The Satanic Panic is currently known as the longest and most expensive trails that have ever taken place in US history. Some journalists and reporters claim that the Satanic Panic still goes on to today. The Satanic Panic, like The Crucible, were prolonged mass scares that involved ritual abuse and dealings with the devil toward children, causing neighbors to turn on each other and view each other suspiciously. It all started in during late September
Rick Perry, governor of Texas for the past 15 years, announced his campaign for president with the quote “We must do right and risk the consequences”. Perry stated this within a quote slightly directed to President Obama, footing how he seems separated from the rest of government and yada yada politics. The reason I chose this quote was not just how it equates to our current political standing, but how doing the right thing has its consequences. As such, I find the reason that a backlash exists to what 's right is because any view, right or wrong, will challenge someone as wrong, and no one wants to be wrong.
Imagine being placed in a situation where if one does not confess to their actions or beliefs, even if they are not true, there will be negative consequences. One would either confess truthfully or not, based the consequence and if they are willing to go through it for the greater good. This theme has been demonstrated through many ways such as in books, mainstream current media, and in the history of the United States. Negative consequences can influence whether or not one chooses to rightly, or falsely, confess as evidenced by characters in the Crucible by Arthur Miller, President Clinton confessing his affair after denying it, and finally, during the McCarthy era when politicians attempted to convince many Hollywood stars to falsely confess
Muslim Americans endured more government scrutiny after September 11, 2001. The United States government decided to monitor this population. This involves surveillance on phones, worship place and funds. The US government needed to pass a law to collect data to use concerning risks.

A public flag burning in protest of a recently enacted law is protected by the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause. The desecration of flag burning is idiomatic to the 21st century. Flag burning became an issue in the U.S. after the Civil War and since that time has had a drastic history. "Congress passed the Federal Flag Desecration Law in 1968" (Head, 2017). The law banned all exhibition of abhorrence against the flag.
In 1845, John O’Sullivan famously said, “…our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions”(Document A). His idea of Manifest Destiny was that it was America’s God-given right to spread their population, and along with them the ideas of liberty and democracy, across the continent of North America. During the 1840’s, President James K. Polk worked diligently to fulfill these ideals. This resulted in America gaining most of western North America, including the half of the Oregon territory from Britain and Texas and California from Mexico. Although Manifest Destiny had a few benefits, the negative consequences far outweigh these gains.
Abstract The global garment industry, worth more than $400 billion dollars today, is a very lucrative industry. Garment factories in developing countries working for retailers in developed ones shows how efficiency is increased and every party can benefit through outsourcing of labour from developed countries; retailers and consumers get clothes at cheaper prices while employment is provided to areas plagued with poverty. However, it is evident that many of these garment factories are sweatshops, which are factories and businesses that violates local or international labour laws, such as providing workers with atrocious working conditions, providing minimal compensation or even employing child labour. Like it or not, many of our clothes does not come ethically and they have probably encouraged labour exploitation in one way or another.

Just as in other countries, the law in Malaysia can be found not only in legislation, but also in cases decided by the courts. The courts in question are the Federal Court, the Court of Appeal, and the two High Courts. This is because only decisions of superior courts are sources of law as they are the courts that decide on matters of law whereas lower courts generally discuss on matters of fact. Decisions of the higher courts are binding to the lower courts which is known as stare decisis. Stare decisis is a latin term which means to stand by what has been decided.
