When Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, he used a rhetorical writing style that was the standard during the 18th century. The goal was to build towards a climax. By stating life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as unalienable rights that should be enjoyed by all men he set the tone for the rest of the document. The succeeding list described how the British violated these rights in an order where the worst violations were placed last.

Think about the relationship between the United States and China today. Do you think it is a positive or negative relationship?
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

It can depend on a multitude of factors such as if we refer to economic ties, then yes I think it is positive, as China provides the US with the labor for US companies to utilize to mass produce their products. By contrast, our geopolitical ties are negative as suggested by conflicting interests and human rights issues that the US calls China out on (such as in Xinjiang where the Chinese had shown to strip the Uyghurs of their freedoms and putting them into re-education camps). A way that we can improve this is by holding more bilateral talks and to discuss about the certain issues that both countries have and working together to foster better relations and build mutual understanding.
