My American Voice
I was recently watching an episode of "The Office" and in that episode a worker reported his boss, because he made some stereotypical comments. This is a perfect representation of the American right to speak up. I believe that not being able to use that right is obscured. I've acknowledged that school has ripped that right out of teachers hands. It is important to speak up ,because it gives a sense of direction to the people who are blind from what is happening around them. It also give the ignorant a different perspective of things.

Team vocab
When it comes to the elections of this year many people can anticipate these two candidates to surely accuse each other from doings of the past. Each canadate tries to remain stolid but Hilary definitely outbeats trump. It's aggravating because trump and Hilary are constantly sticking their proboscis into everyone's business and venomously attacking each other. With each debate America is left suspended to watch the next one just to see the two yell at each other. Both Candidates try to hypnotize the world into thinking their fit to be president trying to prove that they can transform this world into something greater, but they simply just illuminate each other's faults.
