    Virginia Tech Shooting Thesis

    Americans love guns and Americans hate guns. There is a perplexing relationship within the American people and their desire for guns. American citizens are aware of the danger that follows with gun use, but still advocate to keep them legal within the states. The gruesome massacres that have occurred within American schools such as Columbine, Virginia Tech, as well as the massacre that recently occurred in Orlando, Florida at club Pulse, somehow do not resonate with the fact that this country has a very serious gun problem. The United States must figure out logical ways to make access to guns harder such as disallowing someone who has been on a FBI watch list from ever purchasing weapons.…

They do not only attack people of certain ethnicity but also people who were peacefully protesting or not doing, anything at all just going about their normal day. In some cases the police spin a tale about how the person supposedly had a gun on them.…

    Las Vegas Misconceptions

Tourists often see the beauty and elegance proudly marketed by Las Vegas; the city does what it does best—put on a show. The city does nothing more than put a façade to hide the failure to serve our community. I chose to write about Las Vegas because the misconceptions of my hometown affect how people think of me when I introduce myself. Upon saying I was raised in Las Vegas, the immediate response is, “Oh, I didn’t know people actually lived in Las Vegas.…
