REVISED ONE READ THIS ONE! The IRA was unofficial group of people who wanted to end Britain’s ownership of Ireland. The IRA were Catholics from northern Ireland who thought it was unfair the way Britain treated Catholics (Northern Ireland is predominantly Catholic and they didn’t want the Protestants to the minorities) For the past century They have been a violent military group that won southern Ireland from Britain But that wasn’t far enough Northern Ireland was predominantly Protestant but the rest of the country wasn’t. So to protect them they wouldn’t liberate Northern Ireland so the IRA wouldn’t stop fighting until the whole country was liberated from Britain.

Topic shopping:

Women wear pants, for work, war, or some people just don’t like skirts… this happened in the 1940′s, everywhere in America. This is like the 3 r’s because revolution started when the first women wore pants, then a reaction came, every other women liked the idea, and the the reform: was ow I am still wearing pants to this day.

I agree that the digital revolution has totally changed our lives. Where we used to use our hands, now we use machines. Life has become a lot easier because of the digital revolution.

Topic #1
The Digital Revolution
The digital revoulution completely changed the way we do
things. From smartphones to Windows 7, we include something digital
in every aspect of our lives.
Topic#2

9/11 changed everything. Related to security, of course.
Every metal detecter in an airport you walk thriough is a result of 9/11.
Topic #3
Micro technology
Micro technology changed how we think. No more big clunky
cell phones that can’t do much. Now, smartphones. All thanks to micro technology.

Kevin Kelley is the coach of the Pulaski Academy high school football team. From Little rock, his team never punts. Statistical data underlines his system. For example, 4th and 8 on Pulaski’s own 5 yard line. Pulaski will make the first down 50% of the time. If they turn it over, the opposing team has a 90% chance of scoring. If they punt, the opposing team on average will get it at the 38 yard line. The opposing team will have a 77% chance of scoring, only a difference of 13%. This is completely revolutionary because the traditional football method is to punt on 4th down except at the end of games or in short yardage situations.

David Duke was a representative of Alabama. He was revolutionary because he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and a Neo Nazi. He was still elected even though he voiced his views about Judaism and African-Americans. He is the only Neo Nazi to ever be a part of the US government.
