Profiling is stereotyping. Because of past territorism attacks, muslims and especially the ones from Eastern Europe are always seen as terrorists. That is not fair, to put every one in the box , even the ones that are guilty? The First Amendment in the constitution states that everyone has the rights to choose their own religions and express their beliefs. Just because most of the past terrorists were muslims does not mean that all muslims are. Profiling will only lead to fustration for all the ones that are being profiled. It is wrong to stereotype people because of race. We cannot change our race, and airport officials should find another way to prevent terrorist attacks because profiling is very offensive and threaten the First Amendment. Many they can ask the passengers to come a day or two before in order to be checked. They can leave their liggages and strenghten the camera system.

“Competition is the whetstone of talent,” a traditional proverb says. If all the students decide to go to the best school in the country, then there will no longer be any competition between high schools. For example, if all the Irving ISD students decide to attend North Hill Prep because of its good reputation, schools like MacArthur, Irving and Nimitz will have few students and there will be no competition because all the brilliant students would choose North Hills. The results would then be obvious and probably those school would loose many students. However, if every student go to the closer high school, there will be a balance of talented students between high schools. Not only one school will have all the Gifted and Talented students but every school will have at least one brilliant class who would bring up its reputation and hold the competition. After all, competition improves the skills.

The 22nd amendment which states that presidents should be allowed to run the office only two terms were signed after Franklin Roosevelt's presidency. If presidents are not able to make a change after 8 years, maybe they are ot competent as president. President Kennedy who was assassinated during his first term in the office, made a lot of changes.

The 22nd amendment clearly states that presidents should only serve two terms. It was signed by the Congress after president Roosevelt stayed for 12 years and he died while still serving in the office. It is not only unfair for other candidates who want to run for presidents but also for the people. By confiscating the power, the president with more than two terms will most likely turn into a dictator or just fail as a president and threaten people's right and wellbeing. For example, if president Hoover did not leave the power to president Roosevelt, maybe the Great Depression would have never ceased. He did not do anything to prevent it. However when president Roosevelt came to power, the economy gradually increased.

The American dream is the seek of success, prosperity and wealth through hadwork. The first reason why illegal aliens come to the United States to seek a better life. Sometimes they are part of countries that are corrupted and they are forced to pay some fees in order to travel legally. For examplin Cameroon, a small countrie in central Africa, in order to get your passport you need to pay 22,000,000FCFA which would be like $4,500. Most people do not have that much amount.

It is now universally acknowledged that environmental pollution is seriously affecting our planet. It is true that in order to develop,most developing countries need environmental resources. Also,most of them cannot afford new technologies that help protect the environment. However agricultural expansion,deforestation, and gas pollution are warming the Earth and destructing it. I am not saying that developing countries are wrong when focusing more in people than environment. In fact it is totally normal to pay more attention to the citizens. It would have been tolerable if by doing that, they did not kill our nature. That is why developed countries such as the United States and Japan are proposing their help to third world countries. Denying that help will contribute to the early death of our beautiful planet. However if they accept the help, food and other needs will be provided to them so that they can be more active in the saving of the environment.

I don't believe that school kills creativity. I think that when someone is creative, he makes himself different from others and unique by the way he dresses or thinks. In school, we are free to wear whatever we want as long as the clothes are descent. Even though some people thinks that the dress code minimizes the creativity, I think you can still be creative while dressing properly. Also, we get to show our creativity when we are writing our essays in english classes or when we are working on projects. Therefore, I think school is the place where we develop our creativity. We should always remember that creativity is not meant to schock others but to share our opinions and show our personnality.
