In John Metallo’s piece, “Banning Junk Food in Schools Is Not Effective”, he discusses the reasons why the sale of junk food should not be prohibited in schools. He believes that the sale of junk food should not be ban in schools because a child’s eating habit is developed at home, not at school. Therefore, it is the parent’s responsibility in the decision that their child makes on what to eat at school. He furthers adds on that a lot of the junk food in schools are actually brought in and that…

Both King Lear and Of Love and Dust are stories about characters who seek power, but die because a stronger power is in their way. In both stories, two kinds of power are contrasted: physical power, or violence, and psychological power. Physical power is the kind of power people use when they’re threatening to use or are using brute force on someone else. Cornwall uses this when he blinds Gloucester in King Lear, as does Bonbon when he shoots the hawk as a threat to Marcus in Of Love and Dust.…

The Seven Years’ War in North America. The Seven Years War was known as the French and British War lasted from 1744 to 1763. It was fought between the American and English colonists in North America.

By 2008 though, the shipments were back down to $8.5 billion. (Albany Reference add here) While there are many reasons that this drop may have happened, some citing a drop in music quality as the cause, this sharp drop in sales came about around the same time that the peer-to-peer file sharing website…

As it first started the colonies thought they were better off by standing as individual colonies because it would be better for each colony to handle its own governing instead of becoming one united unit. They hoped this would eliminate Britain from gaining too much authority against the colonies. This may have worked for some time, but British had a war to pay for and started to tax the colonies to pay their debt…

African Americans were treated very unfairly during the 1890s and the 1990s. What would happen if people called you disgusting names to your face, threaten to stab you, and call the police for calling them mean, just because of your skin color? That’s what happened to almost all the “Black” people in the time of segregation. The court decided that the two racial lines would be “separate but equal”, but this ended up turning into “separate but rarely equal.” Restaurants, parking lots, drinking…
