Unit 2: Assignment 1

5 Purposes of the Government

1. Maintain the law and keep order.
2. Controlling and training the Military
3. Make laws.
4. Collect taxes
5. Assign Representatives

I would definitely be willing to join a revolution against the government if it got out of hand. Honestly with all the crazy stuff that has been going on lately I am surprised that there hasn’t already been a revolution. There are so many people mad at the government for fighting this war, and at Bush. I wouldn’t join one at this moment for these reasons, but if the government ever tried to take away our free will, and enforce outlandish laws I would definitely be up for a fight.

Assignment 7: How life is different

After reading a well-ordered family, I think I learned just how much emphasis they put on god. I’ve read about the puritans and I already knew they were strict when it came to marriage and sex, but this showed there ridiculously strict about what a man and a woman should do for one another. What surprised me the most would have to be that they said arguing with one another was evil. I’ve read stories and seen movies about those times and the men were down the women’s throats all the time. The difference between then and today is huge. Back then if someone got a divorce, I’m sure they would have been condemned and told they were going to hell. Now days probably sixty percent of people get a divorce and people just treat it like it’s just a common part of life. Also woman are respected a lot more now, back then men were considered the dominant human, now were all equal. People were a lot more religious back then to, and were expected to be, now a lot of people expect you to not believe in god.

Assignment 1, "Should I stay or should I go".

Immigrants that come to the United States come for pretty much the same reason our founding fathers came, for opportunity. In the U.S. everyone has an opportunity to make money and live freely. The only thing I think they might lose in coming here would be maybe comfort and respect. A lot of Americans don’t treat immigrants with the respect they would get in there homelands. Also when going to a new country if you don’t speak their language you can feel out of place and lose the comfort of being home. If I chose to immigrate to another county it would probably be for economic reasons. If you live in the U.S. you’re about as free as you can be I guess. So yeah, I might live in another country to make more money, or if I could be happier there, then I might immigrate.
