I am a sophomore who has learned a lot of useful knowledge and loves my life in UC Davis. Yet, I am writing to point out problems with the quarter system. Similarl to many aggies, in my first college year, I had a hard time adapting to the university life because of the quarter system. To succeed in university, every UC student must spend a lot of time adapting this depressive and painful system.

He uses the main character, Macbeth, to show us how excessive amounts of ambition can lead someone to their doom. In the beginning of…

That perception has led some mainstream politicians, including British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, to publicly denounce multiculturalism and speak out against its dangers. It has fueled the success of far-right parties and populist politicians across Europe, from the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands to the National Front in France.…

momentum; whether Donald Trump is arguing to build a wall on the Mexican border in the U.S. or European parties against immigration are gaining traction, it’s become clear that opposition to multiculturalism is currently rampant. German chancellor Angela Merkel is under fire for the number of refugees being let into this country; but perhaps her actions are serving one of her oldest goals, true multiculturalism in Germany.

acknowledges there is a problem, but no one believes it is their responsibility to fix it. According to the article “How to manage the migrant crisis”, this whole problem could have been solved all along “if European Union countries had worked together, as Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, has always wished.” Instead it appears that Europe has been thrust into chaos and unless it restores its order “political pressure will force Mrs. Merkel to clamp down unilaterally, starting a wave of…
