[use along with other examples from this text about what these monuments are, how they are represented, the goal of American historical preservation, the importance of the method we use to preserve]

2 - Source E: “... his forgotten   letter   and   the   details   of   his   suggestion teach   valuable   lessons   about   how   great   historical change occurs,  how   limited   all   monuments   are   in   conveying historical   truth,  and   how   opportunities   can   always be found   for   dialogue   in   public   spaces…” (Sandage). [conversation pieces and awareness are incredibly important]

2 - Source C: “ ‘Some   people   might   argue   that   they’re   important   to retain,  because   they   remind   us   of   our   racist past,  lest   we   ever   forget   about   it,’ ” (Nikos-Rose). [if we ignore history, if we forget our past mistakes, what does that say about us? Do we see our country’s past as less important when we can so easily block it out and start fresh? The future is only good if it fixes the mistakes of the past, not hides them]

FACTORS of MONUMENTS:

Conversation promotion

Literary and artistic representation

Prevent bad things from recurring in the future

Throughout the abundance of monuments in our nation’s capital, Washington D.C., there is a common theme of democracy, freedom, and historical preservation, where “each tells a story” (Sacks).

The true necessity for monuments is in their power “in conveying historical truth” allowing different chances “for dialogue in public spaces” (Sandage).

Truthfully, the importance of allowing a monument to stand is to preserve the past even if it isn’t up to our nation’s standards, since the danger is in if “we ever forget about it” (Nikos-Rose).

1). How a monument can sufficiently represent a past event/person/time period w/ why it’s important to preserve (really addressing ‘what is a monument’ and ‘why do we use them’)

2). Maintaining statues to keep with the times; making sure a greater future is accomplished in the way we preserve the past

# data[].attributes.body
When questioning the creation and maintenance of statues, historical figures who have made grave and courageous sacrifices for our country have come under heated debate; however, achievements and sacrifices do not come at the expense of corrupted virtues, in fact, the preservation of a person’s entire legacy, though it may be messy, is pivotal to creating an accurate monument that preserves the past while preventing a discriminatory future.

Whether your school system should establish, maintain, revise, or eliminate an honor code or honor system.

While honor codes or systems are used in all types of school world wide, schools should continue to use and maintain their systems, allowing students to become not only better students, but people as well; with teaching them lessons if something is done that is not allowed and following through on consequences, making sure it does not happen again making the school environment better for everybody.

1. Source F - "A number of colleges have found effective ways to reduce plagiarism. The key to their success seems to be encouraging student involvement in developing community stanndards on academic dishonesty...Many of these colleges employ academic honor codes to accomplish these objectives." (McCabe)

2. Source E - Line 5 in the chart - 40% of students have violated the honor code and have not been caught

If students do not get caught violating the honor code, then their no point in having it and kids will not be tought a lesson.
