QUESTION FOR PROF RE: RESEARCH PAPER

The assignment says that we can use our own research and articles and stuff aside from the links that were sent. And I found something interesting. Close to 100 years ago, in Tulsa,Ā Oklahoma, there was the infamous race riots where a successful black town was practically destroyed over night by white supremacists. I found some articles about that… and the ongoing effects that still has on society today. That black and people of color arenā€™t allowed to become too successful and white institutions of power do what they can to keep people of color from becoming too powerful. Can I use this?
Can I also use the HBO show “Watchmen” ? I touches on my subject and builds upon my theme of people of color not being allowed to accumulate power in America.

Corona Virus Reflection – Fahad Saleem

The ongoing coronavirus has affected many countries. Countries such as Italy who have shut down and refused to let all and sundry come into the us of a or leave. This grew to be a global epidemic becauseĀ  a positive man or womanin China ate a bat and they didnā€™t recognize that bat had the corona-virus. And due to this the man or woman on foot freely they have been in a position to infect different humans and it began to escalate. I be mindful when the corona-virus was once simply affecting China, I in no way imagined it to unfold to many different nations making it a threat.Thereā€™s been 30,000 instances in the United States. This virus influences human beings 60 and older. Younger human beings can nonetheless be affected however they have extra threat in surviving than older human beings whose immune gadget is weaker. Many hospitals in New York are full of coronavirus sufferers and want even greater house for new patients.

This past month has been very tough. Recently mu house caught fire causes me to lose everything, my clothes, valuables, my house and more. We have been living in a hotel for the past three weeks and due to Covid-19 most stores are closed so it is hard to get clothes. This virus caused many stores to shut down. The reason why these stores and businesses shut down is because they want to flatten the curve and keep the virus from spreading. I think the reason why people are so scared of the virus is because they do not have a vaccine yet and it is spreading very fast. The virus does not affect younger people that much. It will just be like a regular flu for us but I do not want to spread it to my family members. Another way the virus has affected me is because I am staying in a hotel, we are looking for a house to stay in because it will take 8-12 months to repair my house. There are no available real estate agents to find these houses due the virus. The wifi in the hotel is not working as well and it is hard to keep up with school work and my regular job due to me having to do everything on my phone. On the bright side of things I am able to get more time to my stuff and focus on school more because I am always staying in the hotel. I also work in a engineering consulting firm so my job requires for us to work remotely thus I have more time focus on work and school.

 

Sean Wilentz Reflection, Fahad Saleem

In American Slavery and ā€˜the Relentless Unforeseenā€™ analyzed byĀ Sean Wilentz. I can see that he no longer solely sees Americans as these who contributed to the speech of different slaves. Talk about why society was onceso merciless and hypocritical in permitting all these abuses toward humanswho couldnā€™t protect themselves how they had that coronary heart to use them that way to mistreat them like that. He talks about slavery in Europe is crucial to a European contract in the New World. He connects with Hannah Jones due to the fact like her he expresses that the European slaves additionally helped to improve the united states of america with their effort and work. In the identical way, they have been humiliated and belittled when they did all the heavy lifting. The writer talks about what the brutal slave exchange was once like in the Atlantic for the reason that there used to beno political activity in this. My query is why governments allowed that. What used to be the motive of mistreating people? They have been unscrupulous human beings who had no household or who did no longer sense nicelyinside. Having that tough coronary heart of no longer taking significancetoward the struggling of others. Does cash make humans tough and barringfeelings? Everything looks to alternate many years later the place anti-slavery activists appear. Where they elevate out a range of sorts of reforms the place they blame that slavery is regarded pure evil. These activists had been humans with energy or slaves? How they managed to attain so many human beings and make a trade for the slaves. What prompted them to favorto make a change. Back then there had been nonetheless true humans who did no longer desire to do any damage to negative and defenseless people. Not due to the fact they had cash they despised slaves, alternatively they used their cash and energy to persuade different politicians to eradicate the degradation of property. The slaves fought difficult to supply the new world a symbolic that means which was once that of rebirth, the total fight, the transformation on their phase made all this trade possible.

Slavery helps the basis of the state due to the fact of the beliefs of the revolution. All of this prompted a want for freedom for all. There used to bea time when the southern United States grew to become the worldā€™s most formidable slavery regime. Slavery in the United States had now notabsolutely disappeared till emancipation arrived the place a ā€œnew beginningof freedomā€ used to be developed that used to be made via Lincoln in 1863. Slavery grew extraordinarily after the Revolution, the place they dominated country wide politics due to a very properly prepared slave power. Americans justified racism as an factor of life. To this day, many Americans agree that human beings now not born right here can’t have the identicalprivilege that they do. But the hassle is that these beliefs that they have come from the previous are humans who have now not suffered and have no longerhad a tough life, they are human beings who come from top families. Families with cash that have all the possibilities so they do now not see the effort that undocumented humans make to get here, many of them leaving the whole lot in the united states of america of origin. Many human beings are raped, outraged or even overwhelmed for having the dream of a higher life. If these humans had precise possibilities in their personal nations they would now not hazard as much, however they did no longer have the equalpossibilities as the Americans to develop up in a household with cash and opportunities. Many Americans seem to be down on immigrant humans for now not analyzing or now not understanding English. But that is some thingthat have to change. I hope that in time these matters enhance and this united states of america continues to provide greater possibilities to the least needy.

Hannah Jones Reflection – Fahad Saleem

o the fact the instances and activities that had been introduced in the article had been in truth challenging to examine ranging from lynchings to beatings. The writer states how she is only pressured about how her father is proud of such a u . s . a . after all that hate that used to be introduced to the afro-americans. That is when a key factor pops up and it is that the afro-americans took section in constructing current day America and this need tobe why they ought to sense proud and honor their flag. After analyzing the 1619 article I went and study the reality checking article and the ā€œAfter all, didnā€™t the united states invent slavery?ā€ article and these articles introducedup many points. I associated to the ā€œAfter all, didnā€™t the us invent slavery?ā€ article due to the fact when slavery would be delivered up I would factor the fingers to the United States and would more often than not relate slavery to America however after studying this I can see that slavery has existed earlier than it took location in America. Besides this, the reality checking article reality exams the primary notion that America desired to achieveindependence in order to maintain slavery and the articles refutes the two activities that took region which have been the Somerset v. Stewart and the 1775 proclamation.

After studying the article, we can relate the subject matter of slavery to the current day bearing on it to the subject of immigration. Lately, in the U.S we have viewed a large variety of immigrants coming into the U.S illegally and legally and the deportation of these immigrants as well. We have consideredtwo facets to this fundamental theme and they are that most of these immigrants are criminals and are taking away many possibilities for peopleand come right here for no exact whilst the different factor is that immigrants come to this united states of america to grant a higher lifestylesfor their household as nicely as for themselves and they are escaping their u . s . a . due to many troubles arising. I guide the 2d argument due to the factmany human beings come to the U.S in order to stabilize themselves and to help themselves financially by using getting a job or even to get an education. Besides this, I can take a factor from the 1619 article and say that simply like afro-americans, immigrants are essential in constructing current day America and we see this from all over beginning with jogging the financial system by way of both working in their careers and contributing to the U.S through paying their taxes and even war for their personal country. There are many rebuttals in which discuss about how they have had a terrible have an impact on on the united states due to the fact of their crook pastimehowever they additionally forget about that immigrants arenā€™t the solelyhumans that commit these type of crimes, native born american additionallytake section in this growing crook recreation in the United States. We need to be proud due to the fact immigrants are the engine to the United States as their tough work propels the United States to be triumphant even more.
