In my opinion, people should not remove their cell phone batteries or turn of their electronic devices simply because they suspect that some else is spying on them. When Eduard Snowden leaked the NSA documents in 2013, some people such as Laura Poitras who were suspected to be have any connection with him were always watched by the US Department of Homeland Security. In his book ‘No Place to Hide’, Glenn Greenwald mentions how for many times she could be detained at airports for check-ups and…

learned that there are a lot of deeper forms of deception than what I had originally thought to be. Before starting my research, all I thought of the word was that it meant lying. Turns out I was wrong. I started out by looking up the word in an unabridged dictionary. “The act or practice of deceiving or misleading.” (Webster). This didn’t really give me much insight to the word, so I looked it up in an Oxford dictionary. “The action of deceiving or cheating.” (660). I kept seeing the word…

Throughout history, African Americans, as a group, endure various forms of brutality. Long ago in the United States, entire towns would capture innocent African Americans and kill them in mobs. This horrendous act is known as lynching. Now, while African American brutality exists on a smaller scale than it used to, it still occurs in exorbitant amounts. One of the most infamous cases of police brutality against a black person was that of Rodney King. He was driving home drunk with two of his…

This team had been used in hauling the timber to convenient places for the men to lift it and place it together in bents and when the raising contest began the team of horses was left standing on a smooth, grassy plot a few rods distant.
