Here is a essay I wrote about emojis a few years back(7th grade maybe) because I was going through and emoji stage. I ask that you don't copy it vebatem because you could get in trouble Emojis: ‘small digital image or icon used to express an idea, emotion, used in electronic communication.” These small images are huge. Emojis have an extensive history, but are wrongly compared to emoticons. Emoji are very impactful on today's world. Emojis are awesome. Emojis have been around since 1995. In 1995 when pagers were booming with Japanese teenagers, a Japanese company, NTT Docomo, decided to add a heart♥ symbol to one of their pagers, the Pocket Bell. They later dropped the heart, which lead customers to move to a different company. After realizing their mistake, they needed something new to attract their customers, and the emojis were born. The man who invented emojis is named Shigetaka Kurita. He was part of the team working on”i-mode”, a project that was just beginning to take shape. It would be the world’s first widespread mobile internet platform, combining features like weather forecasts, entertainment reservations, news, and email. At first, it was very difficult to create an emoji because the pagers could only fit 48 letters. However, just one month after Shigetaka Kurita got approval on emojis, he came up with the world's first 180 emojis. Emojis have become so popular that they have spread not only to text messages, but also to other networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Emojis are often wrongly associated with Emoticons, even though they are different. Emojis , by definition are ‘any of various small images, symbols, or icons used in text fields in electronic communication (as in text messages, email, and social media) to express the emotional attitude of the writer, convey information sufficiently, communicate a message playfully without using words, etc.” Whereas, Emoticons by definition are,”a group of keyboard characters :) that are used to represent a facial expression (such as a smile or frown)” Emojis have impacted the world in many ways. They are extremely popular. They are used in text messaging, people make stories with them, and popular Brooklyn Nine- Nine character, Gina, expresses how impactful emojis are on her saying, “The English language cannot fully capture the depth and complexity of my thoughts so I’m incorporating Emoji into my speech to better express myself. Winky face.” In April 2015, emojis were made more diverse by adding numerous different skin tones. as well as many different family combinations. Emojis are more than what they look like on the surface. They have an extensive history, are wrongly compared to emoticons and have a huge impact. In other words, Emojis speak louder than words!

The Articles of Confederation comprised the United States’ first constitution, lasting from 1776 until 1789. The Articles established a weak central government and placed most powers in the hands of the states. Under the Articles, the US economy faltered, since the central government lacked the power to enforce tax laws or regulate commerce. Shays’s Rebellion, an uprising of Revolutionary War veterans in Massachusetts that both the state and national governments struggled to address due to a lack of centralized military power, illustrated the need to create a stronger governing system. The United States’ transition from a ragtag group of colonies to a successful independent nation was a little like the transition period from childhood to adulthood. As the colonies matured, American colonists grew to despise being treated as the children of Great Britain. Like rebellious teens, they vowed that when they won their independence, their government would be nothing like that of the mother country. It’s no surprise that when the leaders of the former colonies finally did get the chance to set up their own government as the new United States, they were mostly focused on trying to avoid what they had perceived as abuses wrought by an overly-powerful government. Their first constitution was called the Articles of Confederation. It bound the states together in a loose “league of friendship” that permitted the states to retain nearly all government power. The Articles of Confederation held the new United States together long enough for it to prevail in the Revolutionary War, but once the war was over the league of friends quickly became a league of impoverished quibblers. The Founders had been so concerned with making sure the central government couldn’t become too powerful that they neglected to make it powerful enough to solve the issues facing a new nation. The American states evolved from separate colonies, with unique histories and societies. In the years before and during the Revolution, they learned to find common cause with each other, but they hardly saw themselves as a unified nation. The Articles of Confederation exemplified this mindset. The document created a confederacy, in which states considered themselves independent entities linked together for limited purposes, such as national defense. State governments had the sovereignty to rule within their own territories. The national government had few powers. It could coin money, direct the post office, and negotiate with foreign powers, including Native American tribes. To raise money or soldiers, it could only request that the states provide what was needed. The national government had only one branch, the Confederation Congress, in which each state had one vote. Populous Virginia had no more political power than tiny Delaware. The requirements for passing measures were quite high: nine of the thirteen states had to approve a measure for it to pass. Amending the Articles themselves was even harder: all thirteen had to vote in favor of a change. One of the biggest problems was that the national government had no power to impose taxes. To avoid any perception of “taxation without representation,” the Articles of Confederation allowed only state governments to levy taxes. To pay for its expenses, the national government had to request money from the states. The states, however, were often negligent in this duty, and so the national government was underfunded. Without money, the US government could not pay debts owed from the Revolution or easily secure new funds. Foreign governments were reluctant to loan money to a nation that might never repay it. The fiscal problems of the central government meant that the currency it issued, called the Continental, was largely worthless. The country’s economic woes were made worse by the fact that the central government also lacked the power to impose tariffs on foreign imports or regulate interstate commerce. Thus, it couldn’t protect American producers from foreign competitors. Compounding the problem, states often imposed tariffs on items produced by other states and otherwise interfered with their neighbors’ trade. The national government under the Articles also lacked the power to raise an army or navy. Fears of a standing army in the employ of a tyrannical government had led the writers of the Articles of Confederation to leave defense largely to the states. Although the central government could declare war and agree to peace, it had to depend upon the states to provide soldiers. If state governors chose not to honor the national government’s request, the country would lack an adequate defense. The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation became apparent to all as a result of an uprising of Massachusetts farmers known as Shays’s Rebellion. In the summer of 1786, farmers in western Massachusetts were heavily in debt, facing imprisonment and the loss of their lands.
