The Civil War, spanning from 1861 to 1865, was a defining moment in American history, driven by deep-rooted social, economic, and political divisions. These divisions culminated a conflict between the Confederacy, formed by Southern states that seceded from the Union, the North led by President Abraham Lincoln. The causes of the Civil War can be traced back to a complex web of issues, including states’ rights, economic disparities between the North and South, and slavery. Our textbook Building the American Republic, Volume I by Harry L. Watson highlights the significance of these issues, as well as the course of events, and ending results of the war. There were many factors involved in the start, during, and the end of the war, but in this

John Daniel Barry, an American novelist, once said, “Society is the mother of us all.” The article “What Unites These States?” by Phillip Caputo, the “Oklahoma Bombing Memorial Address” given by President Bill Clinton, and “The Gettysburg Address” speech spoken by Abraham Lincoln all have one thing in common. The works all support the idea that the unity of men is more powerful than individualism. Society can get more work done in a timely manner than an individual during a crisis. Caputo writes, “A coordinator at the volunteer center told us that more than 14,000 people from every state in the union pitched in.”

Joel Sternfeld, an American photographer best known for capturing memorial landscapes (places where something tragic occurred). Many of his photographs capture the emotions and severity of the events that occurred in these places. Sternfeld’s 1993 image Gibson Street is a prime example of an image that captures these things. In this photograph Sternfeld captures the spot where Christopher Harris was shot in 1991, and he connects this event other issues that were happening in America at the time. Through photograph’s compositional arrangement, the apparent vacancy, and the color pallet of the image, tragedies that occur in inner cities and other places of poverty are displayed.
In “Lost in America”, Douglas McGray is writing this piece for the people who have a role in influencing children and their futures such as parents, guardians, teachers, school board representatives or even the youth themselves. This piece McGray wrote is attempting to make the audience aware of the ignorance that Americans have towards matters outside of the United States’ borders. This ignorance has been in the American culture for generations and has continued to be passed down because there is little change happening to counteract it which is what McGray is attempting to bring to the reader’s attention. McGray implies that this ignorance in the American culture could be helped if change started in adolescence through their American education which currently has weaknesses in education as a whole but especially in the subject of history
William Domhoff’s investigation into America’s ruling class is an eye-opening and poignant reading experience, even for individuals enlightened on the intricacies of the US social class system. His book, Who Rules America, explains the fundamental failures in America’s governing bodies to provide adequate resources for class mobility and shared power amongst classes. He identifies history, corporate and social hierarchies, money-driven politics, a two-party system, and a policy-making process orchestrated by American elites as several causes leading to an ultimate effect of class-domination theory pervading American society. In articulating his thesis and supporting assertions, Domhoff appeals rhetorically toward an audience with prior knowledge
Every now and then the art world is struck by a wave of change that leaves a strong impression, which can last for a long time. Visual arts saw the rise of impressionism and cubism, surrealism and realism took literature to an opposite direction, and film has evolved over the years through cultural and artistic development such as expressionism, auteurism and film noir (House, p.61). The 1940s and post World War II gave rise to a new style of American film, these films appeared pessimistic and dark in mood, theme, and subject. The world created within these films were portrayed as corrupt, hopeless, lacked human sympathy, and “a world where women with a past and men with no future spent eternal nights in one-room walk-ups surrounded by the
The major theory of ethics that this argument relies on is Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism (U) is characterised by carrying out an action to produce the greatest amount of good (or “utility”) for the greatest number of people, regardless of whether or not the action is right or wrong. The word “good” is defined as a sense of satisfaction, gain or welfare – according to the Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus. Alternatively, the theory focuses on reducing the total amount of harm imposed on the greatest number of people. Viewing this theory from either perspective will generate an overall positive outcome.
