Running head: [SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] 1 [SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] 2 Webster 4a Current event With super PACs having such a big impact on most politicians and their success, Bernie Sanders being one of those people, was lucky enough to pull together around $26 million from online donations in order for him to get ahead in the campaigns; even though, Sanders states he is against the corrupt fund-raising groups. Sanders also is still managing to fall short behind Clinton and Biden in votes. Many people have doubted Sanders, but now with the amount of money that has been donated it has shown that Sanders has a good standing chance thanks to…
I expect that Bernie Sanders will win. He is very intelligent and has an amazing view. I think Clinton will mostly agree with Bernie Sanders with their common views, but she is pretty corrupt. I don’t really know the other candidates who are running but they didn’t really stand out to me like Sanders did. I heard a lot of people liked him so I researched him a bit and started to like him as well.…

Next year promises to bring us one of the most polarizing and ideologically charged presidential elections in recent memory. The first decade and a half of the 21st century has witnessed momentous changes in the American political landscape from threats of foreign and domestic terrorism to a resurgence of philosophies once thought to be extinct from the public consciousness. During this pivotal moment in our history however, many Americans are losing faith in either party’s ability to cater to their needs which has in turn created a set of circumstances under which people with more radical ideas have at last enter the national spotlight. One such person is a self-proclaimed socialist caucusing with the Democrats named Bernie Sanders who has…
The End of Bernie Sanders and His Fake Political Revolution At last, the long national nightmare of the Democratic Party’s Presidential Primary race is over. Senator Bernie Sanders, who arguably ran a spirited campaign albeit, a disingenuous, demagogic and unrealistic one, (though he has yet to formally concede defeat) has finally acknowledged that his path to the nomination is all but over. As a liberal, I know this is a provocative piece and one that is bound to be unpopular among young progressives. Also, given the full-scale efforts with which the Democratic “establishment” are courting Senator Sanders, treating him with kid gloves and twisting themselves into pretzels in the hope that he will quietly go away, I am certain this article…
We all have different opinions about where the Green Party will be headed in the next 10 years or 20 years. In my perspective, I believe the Green Party will not be noticed as a strong party until one who runs presidency from the Green Party wins. The United States is tied between the Republicans and the Democrats. It has always been the two who have been winning for leadership. Although the Green Party has good values and plans for the country it seems like their efforts are not as good enough as of today.…

As the DJ would scratch and spin their records, you would have “wordsmiths,” which are known today as an MC, would step up to the microphone and begin rapping to either get the crowd hype or get a message across. Hip hop started underground due to the audience it initially attracted, until The Sugar Hill Gang made “Rappers Delight,” which allowed hip hop to spill into mainstream and commercial radio. This track became an anthem in dance clubs everywhere for the next year. More than just a novelty, the track became hip hop genres first top 40 hit on Jan. 5, 1980 (Frost 5). Now that hip hop was finally gaining momentum and beginning to reach every demographic, a culture was starting to evolve and that evolution expanded and grew to where it now…

Woodstock 1969 During the ‘60s, it was the time of drugs, love, hippies, and the Vietnam War. People were being sent to war while hippies just wanted peace. Woodstock was thought up and provided peace just for them. Before Woodstock happened in the ‘60s, there were many hippies everywhere.…

It was the day before spring break where I knew my life would be forever changed! I was in the 10th grade and I have dreamed of always performing in the school talent show and winning the title of ‘’ Most Talented’’ and of course the cash prize. I knew this day would come where I would have to show my true talent of singing and confront my stage freight. Everyone in the school knew I can sing and they also knew I was shy but I followed my gut and signed up for the show anyway.…
The hippie culture involved a variety of social concerns and beliefs. Hippies were often vegetarians and believed in eco-friendly environmental practices. They strongly believed in free love and sexual liberation. They also promoted the use of psychedelic drugs. The use of marijuana and LSD were integrated into their culture as a means to explore altered states of consciousness but avoided harder drugs like heroin because they considered then harmful and addictive.…
