Answer: Many reasons

Explanation:

What It Means To Be a Patriot

(1)Honor.There is a little bit of it in each of us, some more than others, but because they earned it. But what exactly is honor? When people think of honor there are a multiple things that come to mind that would define it. (2)People are often mistaken for what honor really is and who is deserving of it. Most people would think giving it to the patriots of their country would be suitable, which sounds understandable. But what is a patriot? (3)(T) In order for someone to be worthy of honor he must do what it takes to have true patriotism in his country. (T)Different aspects can add up to the identity of America and the people in it. Widely shaped by it’s citizen’s uniqueness, ethnicity, and strive to stand up for what they believe in.(I) What makes up America are all the different lifestyles, which are illustrated through people’s individuality from all around the world. The duty of the people who make up their country is to accept one another, but when one exceeds the duty of just accepting, to going out of his way to perhaps, help that person, make their life a little easier, or for whatever it may be, they are doing something honorable. (G)Accepting others is what brings a nation together. An excerpt from the blog Life, by the capital/socialist author, Somik, notes a well constructed way of putting this. Honor is the recognition of selflessness. When we see someone who has gone beyond the little self, we are reminded of our own potential or self-imposed limitation. It is to acknowledge this potential or limitation that we recognize one who has gone beyond. A teacher who has gone beyond the call of duty and truly cared for the student is worthy of honor, for they have used their work (karma) to transcend their ego (Somik). (E)People can do good things, but are they always doing it for the right reason? It’s one thing to do something good for someone and not expect anything in return and doing something good for someone with the intentions of receiving. The ones who do that without such intent and instead do it because it’s the right thing to do, are the ones worthy of being honorable. (Ab)A nation with patriots showing their love and respect is a nation that is untied. (D)People must look within and do what is right by others regardless of anything that may discord it. When one is there for his country he is what brings them together which is apart of being an american and what makes one a true patriot.

(T) When it comes to understanding the effect of what people believe being a “patriot” means it is found that the misconception of this word leads to a greater fallacy of how it can blindly lead people. (I)In the book “Limits of Loyalty,” author Simon Keller writes,

Most people think that patriotism is a virtue. That, at least, is what is suggested by a quick glance at the political world and the popular media in contemporary western societies. Politicians constitute an extreme case – I think that many of them would rather be called cowardly, selfish or corrupt than unpatriotic – but their case is odd only for its extremeness. In everyday life, it seems as though you are usually offering a compliment when you call someone a patriot, and as though patriotism is usually thought to be something that we should foster in our children and ourselves. Patriotism, in the popular imagination, may not quite rank alongside kindness, justice, honesty and the like, but it is a virtue nonetheless; it is a character trait that the ideal person would possess. I think that this common view is mistaken. Patriotism is certainly not a virtue, and is probably a vice (Kelley). (E)Most likely the first thing to come to people’s minds’ when hearing patriotism is virtue but sadly, it has come to something profusely less. While patriotism isn’t inherently “bad,” it has become quite corrupted. People such as politicians, political leaders, former veterans, and even average day citizens who claim to be patriots...

Explain how the fugitive slave act violated the core principles of american democracy
larisa [96]

The origins of these acts go back to the constitution where the article 4 has a clause called the fugitive slave clause which orders states to deliver up fugitives from labor (euphemism for runaway slaves) when they are requested by slaveholders.

This clause was translated into the first 1793 statute which was basically a civil statute that was not well enforced according to the southern states, thus leading to the creation of the 1850 fugitive slave act.

The 1850 act was tougher than the previous one, punishing not only runaway slaves, but also people who harbored or aided slaves in any way, with civil and criminal penalties including up to 6 months imprisonment if caught and prosecuted successfully.

There were many documented cases of people being tortured and imprisoned in south because of helping fugitives.

These acts directly violated the democracy in several ways for example:

  • Slavery had been abolished in many states of the US by the time these acts were created
  • They were considered by many as some species of legalized kidnapping
  • They encouraged illegal abduction or arrest and sale into slavery of free black men and women denying them the fair right to trial

One clear example would be the movie "Twelve years a slave" which depicts the documented case of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was sold as a slave without proof of him being one.

WINSTONCH [101]

Option A. The most likely motivation for the poem here is to demonstrate that colonized peoples do not require help from European imperial powers.

<h3>What is the message of the white man's burden?</h3>

The message that is contained in the poem is to highlight the evil and the suffering that the white man brought to the blacks when they invaded their lands.
