During the mid-twentieth century the United States began a policy toward Native Americans called "readjustment." This policy stemmed from the rise of the civil rights movement. Because of the movement, there was greater awareness that all Americans needed to be able to exercise the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Readjustment recognized that life on reservations prevented Native Americans from exercising those rights. Reservations had created segregation that caused just as much damage as the racially segregated schools still prevalent throughout the nation during the period. The readjustment movement advocated the end of the federal government's involvement in Native American affairs and encouraged the assimilation of Native Americans into mainstream American society. The belief was that if it were beneficial for African American children to be placed in schools with white children, it would also be beneficial for Native Americans to become integrated into white society. The policy, however, failed to recognize the emergence of a new generation of Native American leadership and efforts to develop tribal institutions and reaffirm tribal identity. The new leadership did not desire assimilation, but instead wanted more segregation. The Native American community was vying to reassert its distinct identity and separate itself from mainstream America.

Sending a robot into space to gather information is a viable option, but should only be regarded as that--an option. Even the most technologically advanced robots cannot and should not replace manned missions to outer space. Certainly it is cheaper and less dangerous to launch a computer probe that can gather reams of data, but often the information obtained by a machine only serves to produce more questions than it answers. Therefore, the space program should allow manned missions to follow up on those initial information-gathering robotic ventures. While manned missions are more costly than are unmanned missions, they are also more successful. Robots and astronauts use much of the same equipment in space, but a human is more capable of calibrating those instruments correctly and placing them in appropriate and useful positions. A computer is often neither as sensitive nor as accurate as a human in managing the same terrain or environmental circumstances. Robots are also not as equipped as humans to solve problems as they arise, and robots often collect data that is not helpful or even desired. A human, on the other hand, can make instant decisions about what to explore further and what to ignore.

Unlike some classic European novels, American literature encompasses many different, even unique, styles and genres. One of the most interesting of these is the Southern Gothic subgenre. As its name implies, Southern Gothic literature is reflective of life in the American South. Southern Gothic maintains some of the characteristics of Gothic writing, such as plot development of the supernatural or the ironic. However, Southern Gothic does not focus on creating tension and suspense like other Gothic genres. Instead, Southern Gothic story lines examine Southern society and its underlying, often implicit, social structure. Southern Gothic writers generally spurn the stereotype of the gentleman on the plantation and the glamorous Southern belle. Instead, the authors develop characters that are sinister or reclusive and not particularly pleasant on the surface. However, these characters usually have redeeming qualities that allow and encourage the reader to empathize with their situations or dilemmas. It is through these immoral and unhappy personalities that the Southern Gothic writer is able to present and explore moral issues of the American South, such as slavery and bigotry, without blatant accusations.

The first Philippine Revolution occurred at the end of the 1800s, but it was fueled in part by a movement that had grown up earlier. Filipinos who had emigrated to Europe, either in exile or to study, began to come together to strive for equal rights for Filipino and Spanish citizens in the Philippines. They asked for representation in the Spanish parliament, freedoms of speech and assembly, and equal opportunities for Filipinos when it came to getting jobs in government. La Solidaridad, a newspaper published in Spain by exiled Filipinos, was the main organ of this Propaganda Movement. La Solidaridad was the name of an organization as well as a newspaper, but it was the paper that mattered more. Between the years 1889 and 1895, the little paper, whose ambitions were modest and whose readership was small, lit a fire of nationalist pride under those few individuals who would go on to lead the Filipino people in their fight against Spanish exploitation. Perhaps the most prominent member of the Propaganda Movement was José Rizal. A scientist by trade, he strove scientifically to refute Europeans" notions of Filipinos as an inferior people. His papers and orations were important, but his two novels, Noli Me Tangere (1886) and El Filibusterismo (1891), were even more influential. Their heavy-handed symbolism portrayed corruption and abuse in the Spanish-led government and clergy of the Philippines. Although Rizal mainly wanted equality and representation, his books led to a sense of Filipino self-respect that stimulated true revolution.
