This led many cartoonists to create political cartoons that visually described their plight. All the cartoons of that time followed a specific format. They all consisted of a picture that used symbolism to represent the situation, and a few…

As in the world today, prejudice has gotten more racist and more racist. The article “ The Secret Costs of Islamophobia,” talks about how Muslims are being treated unfairly in America. A normal Muslim-American teenager who goes by the name of Aleena wrote a letter to President Barack Obama about how much she desires to live like a normal citizen and would be happy if people stop judging Muslims and categorize them as a “threat”. Aleena is not the only victim. There are tons of Muslims in…

The sentiment of Americans nowadays is that the two party systems are doing more harm than good here in America. Democrats and Republicans are at war with each other, and the American people are cornered. America has been and is in the mist of various problems, from the growth of inequality to increasing global terrorism, but the harsh scrap between Democrats and Republicans has taken government by storm.

With the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, it is the Constitutional duty of President Obama to choose his successor. While the Republican party is insisting that a Justice is not chosen until after the next Presidential election, President Obama is determined to fill the position in the next few weeks despite the threats of his nomination being declined. At this time I believe that the best possible candidate to fill the position would be Srikanth Srinivasan. To begin, we should…
