Kent State Shootings From 1955-1975 America fought a war that separated generations, and turned America 's youth against their own government, the Vietnam war. Due to this twenty year war many young males were drafted into the army, and America the land of the free became the land of deceit. As a result, throughout the nation there had been mass protests, and antiwar movements. On the tragic day of May 4th, 1970 demonstrators at Kent State University were ambushed by the Ohio National Guard,…

Same Traits Different Outcomes in Leadership Leadership is a long researched, studied theme in Organisational Psychology. However, looking at the recent incidents that took various organisations to a huge failure, it is seen that leadership does not only have a bright side. These failures mostly show that destructive leadership is an important reason for them to happen (Thoroughgood, Padilla, Hunter & Tate, 2012). As Goldman (2009) indicates, organisations have started to assess potential…

I graduated high school in 2014 with a 4.0 GPA, was in the top ten percent of my class, and was accepted to Pennsylvania State University. Everything had gone right for me, and I was excited to begin my college career. The only problem was, I did not know what I wanted to major in, let alone what I wanted to be in my life. I chose Penn State because they had a great program for students who were undecided. My hope was that I would suddenly have an epiphany and realize what career I wanted to…

Common Core was implemented to make sure that the standards are consistent throughout all the states that inforce Common Core (ideally, every state). Ever since Common Core was put into practice, it has been a controversial issue. Some viewed the federal government’s act of implementing these standards as a “sneaky attack on the states’ rights and control” (The Promises and Possibilities of Common Core State Standards, p. 31-44). As I previously stated, this has always been a controversial issue…

know Life is an adventure and you should never have to ask yourself “What if?” I would like to think I was not a sheltered child, but unfortunately I was. I lived with my grandmother and her boyfriend my last year of high school because my mom was a state away, making life better for us by earning…

stay at for my existing 4 years or maybe years. So I did my research on the Kansas State University housing. As I am looking through my options, I was interested for the Kramer complex’s. My mom told me is it safe, healthy, and in good living conditions to live there? When I kept scrolling down it showed how it will have safety and good health conditions throughout the complex. According to the Kansas State University .020 Forming a Committee, Every College must have an active safety committee.…

feed. While I continue to scroll through I see several posts of my fellow peers announcing their acceptance into colleges. I’ve been waiting months to receive my letter back from Philadelphia University, my dream college, but it seems as if they have left me in the, rotting alone. Philadelphia University has been a dream of mine ever since sophomore year, attending school there fulfill the dreams of my hopefully exciting future. I stare at the clock and it appears in my mind that it has…

I either was in a really good mood or a really bad mood. But whether I had a good or bad time, I am very happy I came to Michigan State, I could not imagine going anywhere else, and I look forward to the rest of time that I will spend here working on my degree. This class was actually one of my favorites and I think that you are a great professor Ms. Wiley. I really liked how the projects…

It was a sunny, melting hot day where stepping outside felt like walking into a dessert with no ed. But it was my last day so I had to make the best of it. I got ready and drove to pick up my boyfriend and spend some time with him before we said our goodbyes. Driving felt eternal, like I would never get to his house and that time would fly bye. When I First saw him we locked eyes and knew that it would be and emotional day. Driving back home was the most fun we had ever had. We enjoyed every…

Leaving high school and transitioning to college was a rough experience. I went from having to ask permission to go to the restroom in high school compared to deciding what day and time I wanted to attend class for college. I went to Michigan State University, for my freshman year. I moved on campus and had so much freedom. I was totally on my own from the time I woke up, to the money I had to spend on necessities. I qualified for work-study and got a job on campus in order to pay for my phone…
