    For this reason, when her journey begins she must tell herself "to be like a soldier in battle" and not "cry or mope" (149) when she is taunted and harassed in school. At this junction, "Warriors Don't Dry" is a command for herself. Yet, she develops "fierce self-confidence that is aptly attributed the warrior" (144) as the memoir progresses. Through her experiences at Central High, Beals actually begins to embody the warrior persona which she has fought to make herself believe she is; without this, the circumstances surely would have overcome her. It is through this embodiment that Beals discovers that she, the warrior, will not settle for less, and that the idea of bravery made her willing to take on the task of being the first black girl in an all white high school.…

    In Knocking the Hustle: Against the Neoliberal Turn in Black Politics, Lester Spence examines the predominance of neoliberalism in Black communities. He challenges policies over the last forty years, which produced profit under the guise of community development. Spence finds that the neoliberal policies have the worse impact on Black communities. This paper will argue that because of the idea of the hustle, charter schools, and Black political actors, urban Black communities remain tied to poverty because neoliberalism deprives dependent communities of resources in the false hope of the private sector or market using their resources to help society.…

    American society is founded on the ideal that America is a place of refuge for all those who seek a place to express themselves freely as individuals as protected by the Bill of Rights. Many people would assume that these would create a society that either tolerates or accepts multiple diverging cultures, ideas, and religions. However, the majority of news reports from FOX and CNN would enjoy every opportunity to emphasize on the fractures and dysfunctions of our society where some Americans worry more about their perceptions of the actions of other Americans and the impact they have the society on both the macro and micro scales instead of laying aside their personal judgments to seek understanding where the other person is coming from and…

    The Real, the Bad, and the Ugly by Cassie Heidecker is an interesting example of analyzing the reality TV epidemic and in addition to the people that view it. The author starts out by listing things that go into a reality TV production and things that happen in real life in order to state that these are two different things despite the idea that reality TV is supposed to be “real”. The mundanity of real life is emphasised here vs. the idea that reality TV is scripted and has a lot of extra work put into it to make reality TV more appealing to a broader audience. The author goes on to say that real life is boring which I thought was funny and a little ironic considering that later the author mentions that she is somebody who sets aside time…
