History of Slavery and Its Impact on Contemporary Society
History of Slavery and Its Impact on Contemporary SocietyMy History of Slavary and its Impact on Contemporary Society is a sample essay for students of English composition, working in the field of public speaking, or just about any area where the importance of correct structure and diction are evident. I am a former English teacher who taught high school English, as well as a writer, copywriter, and editor.This sample essay began life as a memoir by my brother, Robert. Now, the essay has gone through a fair amount of editing, and I have condensed and greatly condensed its content. Nonetheless, I would like to provide some insight into my thinking about the essay, which you will find in the next section. It is important that you understand why I wrote the essay, and what it is trying to convey, before reading the rest of this description.To begin with, I had some misgivings about my past work as an English teacher. Some of my students and colleagues expressed a worry that they were no t able to properly teach English, and that I was actually afraid to speak in front of them. I was not in fact afraid to speak in front of them, but there were many times when I did not feel that I was explaining the material correctly. It is important that the student feels that the material being taught is well understood. Many times, I found myself addressing issues that had no bearing on the learning process, and that I had to resort to remedial homework assignments in order to help my students become more skilled at the subject.One issue that I was quite troubled by was the problem of knowing the history of slavery and its impact on contemporary society. That is to say, I knew that the Renaissance period was one of tremendous change, and that many of the key historical figures of the period were essentially remarkable personalities, but that these individuals did not always enjoy widespread popularity. On the other hand, it could be argued that the generally benign image of Al C apone probably played a role in his continuing popularity. It is no mystery that in the 21st century, many people are not aware of the difficulties that faced many Americans in the middle years of the 20th century. For me, it is important that students are able to appreciate the nuances of these periods, and that they are better able to examine the implications of events that occurred in those periods for the entire course of their lives.There are many who argue that the English language is not a natural language, and that it can only be learned through the study of other languages. I do not share that view. I believe that language can be learned, and that the best way to learn it is to be exposed to English at a very early age. That is why I felt that teaching English as a second language, through immersion in a language that is native to that country, is very important.The History of Slavery and its Impact on Contemporary Society is a sample essay that enables students to have the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of the changes that occurred in the culture and the political environment during the middle years of the 20th century. As I was writing the essay, I realized that much of what is used in class today is borrowed from history textbooks and movies. The idea of using such sources does not sound appealing, particularly when it involves facts that are very difficult to access.In the end, I wanted to use the history of slavery and its Impact on Contemporary Society as a vehicle for examining the philosophy of art, the politics of the individual, and the relations between family and society. If you look closely, I believe that this sample essay does an excellent job of demonstrating all of these points.
