The Latin Lords / Media Destruction of Political Effort :
12 pages in length. An insightful look at how the media
portrayed the Latin Lords -- a radical, socio-politically
involved group (active during the 60's and 70's) that can be
compared in many respects to the better-known Black
Panthers. The author argues that the media over-exaggerated
and made them out to be 'irresponsible hoods' -- so as to
destroy public trust in the Lords and unfairly make them out
to be a band of street "hoods" and not activists they actually
were. Detail is given as to the sociological "bonding"
experiences of Latin Lords. Bibliography lists approximately

Dissent – Unpatriotic and Un-American : This 3
page report
discusses how dissent has come to be seen in America as
somehow less than patriotic. Americans appear to have
developed an attitude that dissent does not serve the greater
purposes of the nation or, at the very least, dissent is actually
irritating rather than motivating. Most Americans believe that
dissent must only take place in circumstance in which it is
clearly dissent that supports the greater ideals of America.
Anything less is both pointless and unpatriotic.
