Declaration of Independence

With this website that shows us what is acceptable and unnacceptable in a story, it shows us how we should write our stories.  It gives us ideas as to why we should not give somebody a negative name calling.  It does not help and there are a lot of helpfultips in this website.  Definitely the easiest topic that should not go into writings is name calling.  It is not the you are stupid, but it gives somebody a negative name that does not help the story. ", "He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation" (Jefferson 124).  He is calling the king a tyrant, which is definitely not helping him with what he is trying to get acrossed. He is not showing the proper respect to the king, and is in a way saying that he himself, would make a much better king.  I understand why he is saying what he said though, because he was frustrated and anytime you get angry at somebody or something, you have a tendency to express your feelings about it.  We all have done it, and it is human nature of us to do it, but when you are trying to prove a point, it is not the wisest thing to say.  Another technique that should not have been used was the bandwagon technique.   "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..." (Jefferson 122).  If all men are created equal than why do they keep acting as if the king is nothing.  Sure he is the king, and you would think that if he was not to be treated equally, he would be treated better than everybody else, but he is being called names.  Not only was it not true in this case, but it really has never been true.  Here is why. No matter when you look back on the world, you will find many people who were treated like garbage.  There are many, but the first group were the Jews during the Holocaust.  They were treated awfully, and sure it may just pertain to the U.S. but it is a rule that should be conducted throughout the world.  The next group is the African Americans when they were slaves for white people.  They were whipped and had no rights, but you still mean to say that they were treated equally, I do not think so.  Even today, people are not treated equally.  We look at people and either think they are poor middle class or rich.  If they are poor, most people do not like them.  Do not ask me why, but this seems to be the case a lot of the times.
