| ISSUES Examining pride and patriotism |

|
Self-interest
overcomes nationalism
Isolated cases
of price gouging of gas and American flags have been reported across
the nation since the attacks on New York and Washington. |
Nationalism
can have drawbacks Former President
Bill Clinton waited until the wee hours of the morning for former
Vice President Al Gore who drove to Chappaqua, N.Y. after being
stranded in New York due to the airline shutdown, according to a
Sept. 15 Washington Post article. The reunion was the first time
the two have spoken since an argument during the 2000 election. |

Red,
white and blue bleed indispensible patriotism across nation In a state where
flags with only one star vastly outnumber those with fifty, the
sudden proliferation of American flags on cars, in windows and hanging
half-staff from flagpoles is truly overwhelming. For an emblem that
for the most part has been missing in action over the past decade,
the ubiquity of the American flag is rampant. |
Present
generation must have faith in government Several times
since the attack on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon,
I’ve been approached by students who have asked the same basic
question: “We have grown up being taught to be suspicious of
government, politicians and the military. Why should we trust them
now?” |

Tragedy
truly tarnishes past doubts of America
In the early
morning hours of Sept. 11, 2001, thousands of New Yorkers witnessed
the beginning of the greatest terrorist attack America had ever
seen. As the events unfolded, many Americans slept peacefully in
their beds. |

10
years later The lasting impact of ÔNevermindÕ The way the
world listened to rock music changed forever Sept. 13, 1991 —
perhaps slightly unbeknownst to most of us. On that day, Nirvana’s
album “Nevermind,” a reasonably well-reviewed collection
of 12 raw, powerful punk songs, was released. |
Pop
music always stays mainstream, more than guilty pleasure Amid a smoke-filled
auditorium with disco lights circulating, the crowd at Lincoln Junior
High School in Oceanside, Calif., seemed dumbfounded by young pubescent
boys jumping around and singing brainless music. |
