The bustling sound of foreign languages was everywhere. People were processed, names where changed and finally they were declared Americans. Stepping nearly a century later, the story is much different. The immigrants of today, are a cause of major political stir, racism and controversy throughout the country. They also…

pursue happiness. In Racial Formation in the United States, Michael Omi and Howard Winant elaborate on the concept of race, how it evolved, how it changed from science to politics, and how it became a way in which people use to judge others. President Barak Obama also discussed the concept of race during his campaign, in his speech “A More Perfect Union”. He emphasizes that all the citizens in the United States are considered Americans and therefore it is crucial to transcend about the anger,…

Since the very first president, George Washington, there have been presidential elections. Presidential candidates always make promises to the American people as to what they are going to accomplish during their entire presidency. Mainly most candidates address what they will do during their first 100 days. The first 100 days is a period of time when the new president is first elected into office, he or she meets with congress and tries to pass a lot of new legislation. The first 100 days is…

she served as the first lady during his presidential term. Clinton was also a presidential candidate in the 2008 election. Although she fell short of the win, she gained the Secretary of State role back in 2009 where her former opponent, President Barak Obama, appointed her.

She also has the backing of her husband who did a phenomenal…

They knew having one source of power could result in tyranny so they decided to split the power between the national and state governments. Recently, there has been speculation about whether the government’s federal power has been exceeding the state’s authority and limiting their…

Aerobic capacity of endurance athletes has been a consistent topic throughout research. Different sports require a certain amount of endurance to be successful on the field or court.

Due to their higher aerobic fitness level they are able to perform closer to their maximum heart rate value as well. Throughout a match the players consistently shift from…

After hearing about different opinions regarding cable news, I found myself becoming more curious about bias in the media, especially within CNN and Fox News, the two most popular cable news channels. What I wanted to know is: how biased are CNN and Fox News? Most people are aware that CNN tends to lean more liberal and Fox News leans more conservative. However, through my research, I learned that the perception of bias in the media is based on relativity. Furthermore, I found that it is best to…

Regan, the fortieth president of the United States, gave a commencement speech to the graduating class from Eureka College. Eureka College is where Ronald Regan went to college. This is interesting because previous presidents like John F. Kennedy, Barak Obama, or Bill Clinton all went to ivy league colleges like Harvard or Yale. It is very inspiring that Regan was able to accomplish so much without a degree from a prestigious university. This commencement speech very interesting because instead…
