John Nash is now a well-known mathematician. He is commonly recognized as the only mathematician to win the Nobel Prize and as the mathematician that the movie A Beautiful Mind is based on. While people are now aware of John Nash’s story, it was not previously well known. John Nash grew into a brilliant mathematician, was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and persevered through obstacles to continue working in mathematics. John Nash was born on June 13, 1928 in Bluefield, West Virginia where he…

History and Language: A Holistic View Humanity is such a simple word, yet is by simple nature excruciatingly complex. The variables and mechanisms that fuse themselves together are so broad and encompassing that it is not so surprising that looking at the whole is nigh on impossible for one person to achieve. Just as a single person is a blend of ideas, ideals, and circumstances, so too is the overall essence of what makes a human, human. Anthropologists have dedicated their lives to the attempt…

The intermarriage of the Asian Americans Simona Nissan San José State University The report The Rise of Intermarriage, of the Pew Research Center from February 2012, presents that the popularity of intermarriage in the United States increased compared to the past. The report mentions that “about 15% of all new marriages in the United States in 2010 were between spouses of a different race or ethnicity from one another” (Wang, 2012), while it is more than double comparing to the 1980…

destroy the dreamer by spreading all kinds of rumors and gossip about him. Beloved if God has given you a dream, rumors can’t kill it, dream on, gossip can’t silence it, dream on, your past can’t abort it, dream on dreamer, dream on. Though out the annals of history there were those who regarded the Kings dreams as…

Harvey believes that scholars that adopt a new theory quickly are vulnerable to use the work in an abusive way that will benefit their own thinking. An example of this misinterpretation can be the work of Lawrence Mead who, like Lewis, was concerned with poverty and how it affects society. In his work “The Logic of Workfare; The Underclass and work Policy” Mead examines the lower class in 1989 and focuses heavily on the number of jobs and their availability to the lower class. This writing is…

all a woman’s job serves to maintain survival. Many attempt to neglect the fact that sexism plays a role in the gender wage gap. However, sexism very much plays a role in the inequalities that distinguish our society from utopia. As presented in the Annals of Internal Medicine, various women that are members of academic medicine, report that superiors told them that they do not need to worry about their compensations since they are a part of a “2-income family” and male colleagues are the ones…

But this book does not offer a single page of original and unpublished work. What then is the need, now, for such a book? (Beren and Lúthien 11) That, as a Danish prince once said, is the question. There are, indeed, no words of J. R. R. Tolkien here that have not already appeared in The Silmarillion or The History of Middle-earth, and there are many which have been left out. As Christopher points out in the preface, this particular tale changed dramatically over the years, becoming more and…

Currently in China, for example, minimum wage should be no lower than 40% of the average wage for any particular area. In Guangzou and Shenzhen, the first cities that were legally allowed to approach foreign big businesses for investment, the minimum wage to average wage percentage is the lowest in the country. While this may reflect the prosperity of the rest of China, this is unlikely, as it is estimated that 200 million people across China live in poverty. Instead, this is likely to be…

Zayra Calderon once said, “You have to have the drive to tackle something a little bit bigger than you”(Ross 129). Sex-integrated sports means that sports teams are made up of both genders. Many people believe it is too dangerous physically and socially for girls to participate in boy sports. Often times there are girls who have a passion for sports and an athletic ability that deserves to be shown off, even if it means playing with the boys. Girls deserve the equal opportunity to play among the…

Why were black people segregated from baseball? Today many of the legends and greats we think of were African Americans, and it’s crazy to think they were excluded from the MLB just sixty years ago. They were segregated from anything you can think of at the time, and sports weren’t excluded. No matter if you were an Olympian athlete or a baseball all star chances are you’d end up with a dirty low pay job. So rather than give up the sport they loved and performed well at, they created the Negro…
