My feelings and thoughts of my group's Proposal on Columbus day.

I agree with my group that we disagree with Columbus day. This holiday is controversial because the European settlement in the Americas led to the demise of the history and culture of the indigenous peoples. This day idolizes a man which is wrong in my eyes. But we should also remember that he really didn't discover American, Indians were already here when he arrived. The settlement of Europeans in the Americas led to the deaths of a very large proportion of the native people. It has been argued that this was a direct result of Columbus' actions. It is clear that the arrival of the European settlers led to the demise of a large proportion of the history and culture of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. It has also been argued that Columbus should not be honored for discovering the United States, as he only went as far as some islands in the Caribbean and never got as far as mainland America.

Laws That I disagree with !

I disagree with Philadelphia 's Curfew for teenagers !   Curfew is taking on a whole new  thing that is, more official  meaning for teenagers and pre-teens in Philadelphia. Philadelphia police were being kept busy Friday night(August 11,2011) arresting dozens of teens caught breaking the city's new 9:00pm curfew.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter enacted the new curfew after three incidents of random attacks by groups of teens in Old City, Center City, and Fairmount Park. Where the mayor is combating marauding mobs of kids known as "FLASHMOBS'' by ordering anyone under 18 to be off the streets by 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights in problem-plagued areas of the city like downtown. Parents could face fines of $500 if their children are picked up, or charges of child neglect if they don't fetch their children. Nutter says parents of teens who participate in the attacks will face legal sanctions. The mayor adds that programs at youth centers and help for parents will be offered as curfew enforcement continues. I hate this change but i understand why they made it because most kids in Philadelphia are bad, don't listen and disrespectful.

Not all kids that are out at night are Flashmobers !!

What Does It Say About A Nation That Celebrates Columbus Day?

  Its says a lot about a nation that celebrates Columbus day because This holiday is controversial because the European settlement in the Americas led to the demise of the history and culture of the indigenous peoples.  Also This day idolizes a man which is wrong in my eyes. But we should also remember that he really didn't discover American, Indians were already here when he arrived. The settlement of Europeans in the Americas led to the deaths of a very large proportion of the native people. It has been argued that this was a direct result of Columbus' actions. It is clear that the arrival of the European settlers led to the demise of a large proportion of the history and culture of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. It has also been argued that Columbus should not be honored for discovering the United States, as he only went as far as some islands in the Caribbean and never got as far as mainland America. So I say that it is wrong for a nation to celebrate columbus day, because ITS A LIE !!!!!!!!!
