so many people are incarcerated today because this world is so messed up people just do what they have to do to survive, they do what they do they get in trouble because this country does not like to help anyone. ==Ouch...== How about this as a possibility? Maybe societies incarcerate so many people because when these people were young, their families failed to teach them the basic values necessary to function within a society...values such as respect, hard work, fair play, etc. Consequently, when these individuals grow up, rather than working to become a valuable, contributing member of society, they steal and hurt people instead. Society then has no option but to remove them from the general population and this is accomplished by incarceration. It is truly a sad state of affairs, but unless and until our children are taught how to behave within our society, and taught to accept responsibility for making their own lives better, the situation won't change.

Why do fireworks make us happy?

They make us happy because we see them during many occasions. We see them during parades, parties, and the 4th of July. They probably make us happy because many people are fascinated by them, and others just like them. But very few people think about what the real reason we have fireworks on the 4th of July.

What are the reasons why you study history?

To discover who you, though not necessarily your community, are. History tells us how we arrived at the present. You can learn so much from those who lived before you; how they lived, what they had to say, what they cooked, how they raised their children, where they are now...this is why people sat down to write history, in the same way people wrote, and write, diaries, books and other communications intended to reach out to the future.
