A restaurant experience
There is always much to see in the expanses of Santa Monica, as it is extremely cosmopolitan. Culture is evident from various aspects, which one cannot miss to see as well as experience. It is always thriving with people all trying to enjoy their lives. Some of the interesting scenery, which can be found include; street performers, malls, among many other scenes. The various restaurants are centrally located whereby; patrons have a wide selection to choose from. One such restaurant is the ‘Sky lux’ which brings about a lot of attention. It is located in a huge building and has incorporated some of the latest designs in architecture. It has an angelic white color, which in a way, reflects that more is awaiting. Also, it has large windows, which are on almost all sides, except for the back area.
Upon entering, one is welcomed by a valet driver, whose friendliness is extremely over whelming. The valet drivers are dressed in blue well pressed uniforms, which are in contrast to the purple uniforms, of the waiting staff inside the restaurant. The valet drivers seemed well trained from how they relate with customers. They are polite and helpful and this is encouraging to new customers to the restaurant. The cars, which arrive at the restaurant, are expensive as they include models such as Rolls Royce, Lamborghinis and the list being endless. It seems that the powerful as well as rich are the main clientele at this restaurant. Once the cars have been driven away, the customers are politely and slowly ushered into the restaurant. It is extremely interesting to note that the reservations agent knows most customers by name. It is often pleasing for customers when they are easily remembered and make an impact to the restaurant. Confidence is displayed by the people entering the restaurant, but no one seems to notice. A young woman probably around twenty years is in charge of making reservations. She is smartly dressed; her nails French manicured, as well as her blond hair neatly tied. One could easily mistake her for being the restaurant’s manager. This is because of her poise as well as her good mannerisms.
The ambience is extremely warm, inviting, and one feels that they need to indulge in the food as soon as they order. Mellow jazz music flows freely. Most people in the restaurant often comment on the music, as it is one of the restaurants main attractions. The diners at the restaurant are mature and thus the reason why they appreciate the music. Meanwhile, the aroma that fills the restaurant is extremely tickling to the diners taste buds. The air is filled with an aroma, which is spicy, due to the continental and authentic dishes being prepared. The diners are engaged in discussion in low tones, so as not to affect the others. They seem to display dining etiquette, which is often acquired, due to their lifestyles. It is surprising that in a period of less than three hours, two Hollywood celebrities have arrived at the restaurant. An unruly guest is the only one disturbing the existing tranquility as he seems to have drunk a lot of Don Perignon champagne. A young brunette waiter effectively tries and solves the situation. The matter is handled professionally as the drunken patron is ushered out politely. One of the valet drivers is to take him home after they have confirmed his address. Everything in this restaurant is being done professionally, thus the reason why they have repeat customers.
Money was not an issue in coming up with the restaurants décor as most of the furnishings are modern. The tables and chairs are arranged all facing the large window’s .This is for the diner’s to have an excellent view of what is taking place outside. Often, celebrities request that they are seated at the corner where they can enjoy their meals without having the paparazzi stalking them. The waiting staffs are six and each has been allocated their own tables, so that they do not interfere with each other’s work. The waiters are young and passionate about their jobs and this is from the manner, which they work. Often they are tipped as much as 100 dollars and the excitement experienced by them, is extremely over whelming. There are different races of people who come to this restaurant in Santa Monica, which is famous. A diner seems to be from Africa as he is dressed in one of the national clothes of Nigeria. Also, his accent is not like that of an American. Cultural integration is important as the menu has national dishes from almost every country. Customers have a selection, which is wide, and the waiters are effective as they make it easy for the diners when ordering. They explain the various dishes in a unique manner, not witnessed in many restaurants.
As the food is being served, the aroma feels the entire restaurant and twice the chef came to see the customers experience. He was received with a lot of enthusiasm and the clapping from the happy diners, made him embarrassed. On that day, the special was couscous and Moroccan lamb served with rice. Most of the diners ordered the special and from their expressions were extremely delighted with their experience. Occasionally, one could hear comments, such as how the meal was sumptuous as well as finger licking. Everyone who left was extremely satisfied and was sure to come back soon. It seemed that the diners had worn the most elegant designer gowns. One of the most memorable designs was that of a young man who had pink Versace suit and blue Jimmy Choo shoes. Only a person who loves fashion would have known that what he had worn what was in current season. To other diners, he looked like a clown with no sense of fashion.
The talk among the diners is about their achievements and successes; it seems that everyone wants to outdo the other. No one is happy about the success of other and envy seems to be in almost everyone’s heart. The diners do not pay using cash, but instead prefer the use of credit cards. Occasionally you can notice how the waiters talk in low tones concerning the amount spent on drinks and food. It can be interpreted by their reactions that the diners are wasting money, which would have been used in other ways. Unfortunately nothing can be done concerning this issue. Food is not the main reason why people dine in this restaurants as from the different experiences witnessed. A lot can be observed in this restaurant and the experience is extremely memorable.

The Southern Manifesto
Chief Justice Earl Warren issued the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling on May 17, 1954, in Brown v. Board of Education, asserting that racial segregation in public learning facilities violated the equality clause of the 14th Amendment. In his viewpoint, Chief Justice Warren affirmed public schooling was an important right that needed the same protection, affirming clearly that “segregated learning amenities are characteristically unequal.” The court of law emphasized that the badge of inferiority embossed on minority kids by separation slowed down their complete growth no matter exactly how equal the facilities. “We come to an agreement that in the sector of public learning the policy of ‘separate but equal’ has no place,” transcribed Chief Justice Earl Warren. That ruling began a massive movement of individuals in the south, proclaiming that segregation was a practice that both parties (races) got an advantage from, and it could result in an open negative effect to dismantle this scheme of life (Robert & Sigel). The court’s decision caused mixed reactions in the Deep South, so Congressmen made the “Southern Manifesto” in reaction to it. Southern congressmen wrote it to object to congress’ presiding on mixing public schools. They contended that Chief Justice Earl Warren violated states’ rights.
The Southern Manifesto, also referred to as the Declaration of Constitutional Principles, was written and signed. It was written during the 84th United States Congress in opposition to the Supreme Court Case, Brown v Board of Education, which asserted that it was unconstitutional to separate schools. The manifesto was signed by 82 Representatives from the South and 19 US Senators. The Manifesto was signed up to go against the breakthrough Supreme Court decision. The Southern Manifesto asserted that the Supreme Court is a threat to the constitutional regime for the reason that the original Constitution did not mention education, so that signified that education is a matter for states. Also, it was an attempt through “naked power” to evade established law. Segregated but equal learning schools for racial minorities. The Southern Manifesto blamed the Supreme Court for “open misuse of judicial power,” and they gave an assurance that they would use all legitimate ways to lead to a removal of this ruling which is opposing the Constitution, and to stop the usage of power in its execution.
The Southern Manifesto’s main objective was to urge southerners to use all lawful ways to fight back the confusion and chaos that would arise from school desegregation. Nowadays, many years after the signing of the Southern Manifesto, there are still some US history situations that link to the situation (Justin, 1053). There is some coalition pushing for freedom of choice. A current example is Louisiana’s statewide scholarship program that was created to permit most black, low-income learners to attend private schools if assigned to one of the state’s lowest-performing public schools.
In conclusion, the reason why the authors of the Southern Manifesto asserted the Chief Justice Earl Warren’s ruling was a threat to the United States constitutional order was for the reason that this document was written in the South in 1956 and endeavored to push back against Brown V. Board of Ed. Characteristically unequal, violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The outcome was that learners of color in America would no longer be obligated by law to go to traditionally under-resourced black-only learning institutions. The legitimate triumph in Brown did not change the nation overnight, and considerable work remains. But striking down separation in the state’s public schools gave the main facilitation for the civil rights movement, making probable attempts to desegregate higher education institutions, public accommodations, and housing.

The Sources Credibility
The topic that I chose for my Rogerian Argument essay is one on Police brutality. All the three sources that I analyze on their credibility, accuracy, and purpose are on police brutality. The first article is named ‘Police Brutality and Racism in America.’ It comes from the Public health Emergency Collection journal. I consider this source a legitimate one that is reliable and credible. It is because it provides a well-reasoned, thorough discussion and an argument centered on strong evidence about police brutality. It is usually vital to use articles on the internet that are credible such as this one. Apart from that, this article is up to date since it was printed in September 2020. It is up to date, and I consider it legitimate because it is published within the last ten years. I will be able to use this document to draw facts on the argument of police brutality.
The second source that I consider comes from the International Journal of Communication. It is named ‘Race and Police Brutality: The Importance of Media Framing.’ It explores how the framing of a violent confrontation between an African American woman and a White police officer affects people’s perceptions of the incident. I consider it relevant since the information pertains to my topic and covers it well enough in-depth to meet my needs. According to authority, the source is transcribed by well-known and respectable writers on the website that is registered by an educational institution. It is a peer-reviewed source which makes me consider it legitimate. This source will be of more benefit to me in writing my Capstone Rogerian essay.
The third source is named ‘Prayer, Protest, and Police Brutality’ and published by the American Anthropology Association. The information is up to date, trustworthy, and credible. The source is well written, organized, and looks professional. The name of the author is indicated in the article, and the information appears accurate. I will use this article on my Capstone Rogerian Essay because it does the most thorough job covering the issue it is reporting on.
