Theme:creativity/curiosity
Subject:Henry Ford
Detail: Henry ford, one of the most influential inventors in the history, was always inattentive in school.
Once ,he and a friend took a watch apart to probe the principle behind it. Angry and upset, the teacher
punished him both to stay after school. their punishment was to stay until they had fixed the watch. but the
teacher did not know young ford’s genius,in ten minutes,this mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and
was on this way home.It is imagination that invigorated Ford to make a through inquiry about things he did
not know.He once plugged up the spout of a teapot and placed it on the fire. then he waited to see what
would happen. the water boiled and, of course, turned to steam. since the steam had no way to escape, the
teapot exploded. the explosion cracked a mirror and broke a window.Ford’s year of curiosity and tinkering
paid off,when he built his imagination of horseless carriage into reality, the history of transportation was
changed forever.

Theme: Opinion
Thesis: Nothing is accepted by everyone.
Subject: Darwin's Origin of Species -1859
Detail:
Charles Darwin shocked the world with his theory of evolution as proposed in Origin of Species. He
explained that, over time, species adapt to their environment in order to survive and then pass along these
acquired traits to future generations in a process known as "natural selection." Although his ideas are widely
accepted today, the notion that species could have evolved from an entirely different species caused outrage
from those believing that all living creatures were created by God.
Thesis:It is better to determine one’s own views of right and wrong than follow the crowd.

Subject:Thomas Panie & Susan B. Anthony
Detail:
At the beginning of the American Revolution,the American colonies were,with hesitancy and troublesome
doubts,moving toward independence.Few people favored complete independence,while orther,firmly
believed in conservative thoughts,wished to send more petitions and appeals to the King.At that
time,Thomas Paine appeal the colonies to separate themselves from Britain and to make America one place
in world where freedom and love of humankind could flourish.His famous pamphlet,Common Sense,was
outspoken,touche,pierce to the truth with a single pertinent remark.It impressed deeply upon everyone’s
mind that his belief become one of the most inportant ideology of the American Revolution.Although I am
not a feminist,I admire Susan B. Anthony for her daring to hold on to her view even being mocked cruely by
her contemporaries.A tireless civil rights worker,Anthony devoted her life to the work which guranteed
women’s basic right,including suffrage and equal protestions under law.She believed that”men and women
are created equal”and persevered unremittingly in opening doors and expanding acceptable modes of
behavior for women.In the patriarchy socity of her time,people considered her unladylike and
ridiculous.However,19th Amendment to the Constitution gives women’s rights to vote which established
Susan B. Anthony as a bold revolutionary feminist in history.
Examples also serves: People should take more responsibility for solving problems that affect their
communities or the nation in general.

Theme:honest
Thesis:Honest is the best policy.
Subject:Watergate scandal
Detail:
Watergate scandal initiated a prolonged crisis of confidence and renewed public cynicism toward a
government that had systematically lied to the people and violated their civil liberties. A 1974 poll asked
people how much faith they had in the executive branch of government. Only 14 percent answered “a great
deal”; 43 percent said “hardly any.” Restoring credibility and respect became the primary challenge facing

Nixon’s successors. Unfortunately, a new array of economic and foreign crisis would make that task doubly
difficult.
Sometimes it is necessary, and even desirable, for public leaders to withhold information from the public in
order to further the public’s ultimate interests, in the sense that fully disclosing to the public certain types of
information would threaten public safety and perhaps even national security. For example, if the President
were to disclose the government’s strategies for thwarting specific plans of an international terrorist or a
drug, those strategies would surely fail, and the public’s health and safety would be compromised as a result.
Withholding information might also be necessary to avoid public panic. During the first few hours of the
new millennium the U.S. Pentagon’s missile defense system experienced a Y2K-related malfunction. This
fact was withheld form the public until later in the day, once the problem had been solved, since immediate
disclosure would have served no useful purpose and might even have resulted in mass hysteria.

Theme:Cooperation
Subject: Paul Revere
Detail:
Our perceptive towards Paul Revere just illustrates this point. According to the romantic legend, he,
galloping along of the dark from one farm house to another, alerted the people to the coming British. And of
course the story emphasized the courage of one man, made him a hero in our history books. However, his
heroism required a matrix of others who were already well-prepared to mobilize against the oppressor and he
was just one part of a pre-arrange plan. Heroes like Revere have no usefulness apart from a society primed to
act.

Subject: The Cold War
Detail:
After WWII,the Cold War between democracy and communism started which includes economic,culture and
especially arms and space exploration. On October 4, 1957,the successful launch of Sputnik-1 indicated to
the world that the Soviet Union had taken the lead in space exploration. It also caused fear that this
technology would allow the Soviet Union to launch nuclear weapons into space. In response, the United
States established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), embarking on a quest to the
moon where Neil Armstrong took his revolutionary first steps in 1969.

Theme:challenge authority
Thesis: Question authority makes a society stronger.
Subject 1: Progressive Era & Civil Rights Movement
Detail: The Progressive era,for example,is a time during which from president to muckrakers,all aspects of
American society parid numerous effort to improve the way people live.President Theodore Roosevelt,who
believed in equal opportunity and adherence to the spirit of law,ordered his Attorney General to bring suits
against the growing monopolies which exercised enormous control both in economy and in political
sphere.Muckrakers,journalists who expose a vatrity of problems in the society to the public,such as Upton
Sinclair,who wrote about the unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry which eventually led to the
passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act,and Ida Tarbell,who exposed a variety of methods used by Standard
Oil company to achieve a monopoly.Thus their works more or less make some sweeping changes in the
society. Another example comes from the Civil Rights Movement which set the stage for the progress and
turmoil of the 1960s.At that time,despite the American creed of “equality for all”,segregation was prevalent
in the South.Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka questioned the Supreme Court decision in Plessy v.
Fergusor that “the doctrine of separate but equal has no place”,and the successfully overrule of this decision
encouraged civil rights workers to press for equality and freedom.

Detail: Copernicus's heliocentric theory in the 16th century was a direct attack upon the accepted wisdom of
the time, the geocentric view of the universe po!u*d PCwbbs.gter.netstulated by Aristotle. When Darwin
first declared that the wide variety of animal species was due to a process of development over many
millennia, he challenged the traditional Christian belief and outraged the religious fundamentalists. Mass
resistance to authority can escalate to violent protest and rioting, during which innocent people are hurt and
their property damaged and destroyed. The fallout from the 1992 Los Angeles riots aptly illustrated this
point. The “authority” that the rioters sought to challenge was that of the legal justice system, which
acquitted police officers in the beating of Rodney King. The means of challenging that authority amounted
to flagrant disregard for criminal law on a mass scale-by ways of looting, arson, and even deadly assault.
This violent challenge to authority resulted in a turning back of the clock with respect to racial tensions
across America.
