Glory in Britain during the 1980s can largely be attributed to the nation’s economic resurgence, cultural influence, and political assertiveness on the global stage. Under Margaret Thatcher’s leadership, Britain implemented free-market reforms, revitalizing industries and curbing inflation, which contributed to a stronger economy and national pride. Additionally, British culture flourished, with the rise of influential music bands like The Smiths and The Cure, and the fashion scene, particularly through movements like punk, gaining international recognition. Britain's military success in the Falklands War also bolstered a sense of national glory, reaffirming the country’s global standing. Therefore, the 1980s was a period of renewed pride in Britain, marked by economic revival, cultural prominence, and assertive political leadership.

 (Therefore,) we must recognize the period of the 1980s as one of renewed pride in Britain, marked by economic revival, cultural prominence, and assertive political leadership.

An excerpt from  The Science Daily Journal

Heat waves are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change, with record-breaking temperatures becoming the new norm. This trend is not only a serious threat to public health but also exacerbates wildfires, droughts, and other extreme weather events, so society must take immediate action to mitigate the impact of these heat waves. Failing to address this issue will result in more frequent heat-related deaths, strain on infrastructure, and economic losses.

Roses are a quintessential romantic gesture because they symbolize love, passion, and beauty in a universally recognized way. Their vibrant red color is traditionally associated with deep affection, making them an ideal expression of romantic emotion. The delicate petals and rich fragrance of roses evoke feelings of tenderness and warmth, heightening the emotional impact of the gesture. It follows that we must continue to use roses as a romantic gesture.  Additionally, roses have a long-standing cultural association with romance, rooted in literature, art, and historical traditions, further reinforcing their significance as a token of love. This combination of symbolic meaning, aesthetic appeal, and cultural tradition makes roses a timeless and powerful romantic gesture.

(it follows that) We must continue to use roses as a romantic gesture

Carrier pigeons, also known as homing pigeons, played a crucial role in communication during times when long-distance messaging was a challenge. Their remarkable ability to navigate and reliably deliver messages over vast distances demonstrates the remarkable adaptability and intelligence of these birds. While modern technology has largely replaced carrier pigeons, their historical significance in wartime and postal services cannot be denied, showcasing the extraordinary capabilities of these avian messengers.

Government issued license plates create a heightened risk of security threats, abuse of power, and a lack of accountability. Government plates make it easy to identify officials, making their vehicles targets for criminal activity, including theft or attacks, which endangers public servants. Thus, We must stop using government plates on vehicles. Furthermore, government plates can lead to the misuse of privileges, where officials might abuse their immunity from parking tickets or other traffic violations, eroding public trust in governance. Additionally, these plates often reduce transparency and hinder public oversight, as it becomes difficult to trace improper use of government vehicles for personal purposes. To promote safety, accountability, and fairness, we should transition away from government plates and instead treat official vehicles with the same regulations as civilian ones

(Thus) we must stop using Government plates.

A dissertation by an Environmental Scientist 

The danger of the atmosphere lies in its susceptibility to pollution and climate change, posing a serious threat to the well-being of our planet. Increasing levels of greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide, are leading to global warming and extreme weather events, jeopardizing ecosystems, economies, and human health. So if we are to have a sustainable future, then we must address this environmental hazard.

The transmission has become an increasingly obsolete part of the modern car due to advancements in technology, particularly the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and the growing prevalence of automatic transmissions. Electric vehicles typically use a single-speed transmission system, eliminating the need for traditional multi-speed gear systems altogether, which simplifies the drivetrain and reduces mechanical complexity. Moreover, automatic transmissions have evolved significantly, incorporating sophisticated computer algorithms and continuously variable transmission (CVT) systems that can seamlessly adapt to driving conditions, offering improved fuel efficiency and performance compared to older manual or traditional automatic systems. As a result, with the shift toward electric and advanced automatic technologies, the traditional transmission is becoming an obsolete component in the automotive landscape.

The idealized image of the cowboy perpetuates harmful myths and oversimplifies a complex and often problematic history. The traditional cowboy narrative ignores the exploitation and violence against Native Americans, the displacement of indigenous communities, and the harsh realities of labor and inequality faced by many cowboys. Romanticizing cowboys also promotes an outdated form of rugged individualism that overlooks the importance of community, cooperation, and environmental stewardship in modern society. So it’s time to move beyond the cowboy myth and embrace a more accurate and ethical portrayal of this period in history. By continuing to idealize this figure, we risk perpetuating harmful stereotypes and ignoring the more nuanced and inclusive histories of the American West.

(So) it’s time to move beyond the cowboy myth and embrace a more accurate and ethical portrayal of this period in history.

A textbook on the dangers of unstable centralized governments

A power vacuum creates a volatile environment where the absence of a central authority often leads to competition among various factions, escalating the risk of conflict and instability. History shows that when governments or dominant institutions collapse, opportunistic groups, including militias or radical movements, frequently exploit the vacuum to seize control, leading to violence and further chaos. While power vacuums can lead to short-term instability, they should offer the potential for significant long-term positive change, if the void is filled by legitimate, effective leadership. Additionally, the lack of centralized governance can result in economic collapse and humanitarian crises, as essential services are disrupted. However, power vacuums also present opportunities for reform, allowing new leadership to emerge and rebuild stronger, more inclusive systems.

There is one argument that echoes throughout many of the school districts across the country, it begs the age-old question on whether or not schools should enforce a dress code for their students and employees. While many argue that dress codes foster an environment where students can collectively express themselves individually, this is not the case. Many students typically all follow the same fashion trends that they see online, which then creates hallways filled with the same brands and “looks”. This completely contradicts the notion of individuality. For example, if you were to stand in the hallway of a Florida high school you would without a doubt hear the echoes of “slides” sliding across the pavement reverberating a sound of “SHHHHH” off of the concrete. So schools should therefore enforce a dress code for their students and employees.

(So) schools should (therefore) enforce a dress code for their students and employees.
