The Collapse of the Great Nation During the economic boom of the twenties, traditional values of America wore out and, now faced with jazz age, women smoking, drinking, and wearing short shorts. The average American were busy sending their hard earned money on automobiles, household appliance, and the guessing game of the stock market, where big money was made. Those in the American dream howere bought their good with credit. As more and more products came out the more people were in debt,…

Growing up as a soccer player with a successful team, we traveled a lot. Often times the team decided to stay at a campground compared to a hotel. However, in high school as a part of the Speech and Debate Team, I traveled to hotels a lot. Each definitely has its own benefits and disadvantages. Deciding on the nature of the event in which a person is traveling for should open up their eyes to which option to take for their best interest, either camping or a hotel. Tough girls who played in the…

In the United States, the deepest and longest-lasting economic downturn, began on October 29th, 1929. This downturn would later be known as the Great Depression in which the American stock market, which had been seeing a decade of upward growth, crashed and plunged the United States into its severest economic downturn yet. Through the Great Depression, 1932 was one of the worst years in which it was reported that at least a quarter of once working Americans were now unemployed. In 1933 when…

The Choctaw Nation, a proud member of the five civilized tribes, is native to the southeastern section of the United States. They can trace their ancestry back to Mississippi and even some parts of Louisiana and Alabama. Culturally, the Choctaws are a matriarchal society, which mainly survived off agriculture, hunting, and gathering. Specifically, they pride themselves on their history of complete adaptation into the European society. The Choctaw Nation accepted foreign religion, ethics,…

“For a Fungi to Grow, You Must Give It as Mushroom as Possible” The natural world is typically seen as an unbalanced structure characterized by individual movements of all life whose inclusive path is aimless and in many ways unpredictable. My perception of nature developed from the idea of lively plants and animals to personal growth, life experiences, to something that is exclusively inconceivable to the human mind. There is merely an upper limit on human capability to understand the laws…

A Modern Call to the Wild: A Look At The Effects and Hypocrisy of Ecotourism Joshua Wright The human soul is anchored in nature. The human race was born of this earth, shaped by it, and so far (despite our best efforts) tied to it. So, to state the obvious, we must protect it. However, it is with in the nature of man to exploit the resources available to us. This exploitation comes at a cost, to both the natural world and human world. The movement to protect our environment is at an all time…

“Yeeww gunna taaake awl dat?” the mealy mouthed Beaumont native asked me. A question that still haunts me when I think about a certain weekend I went camping along the Neches River. Looking at his displaced eyeball, and the huge wad of tobacco juice he spat onto the ground, a quickly delivered response of “Yes, yes we are!!!” was retorted. Planned and necessary, every item was personally deemed necessary in order to “survive” the weekend. Even though I had never camped before, no one was going…

Scary summer camp The summer of 2015 was the scariest summer I ever had. School was out so I decided to embark on a much anticipated camping trip with my friends Melvin, Tom, Danny, Tasha, and Brenda .We stayed up for hours planning, preparing. July 20th finally arrived we jumped in my car and drove the five miles to River rock mountain. On arrival we speedily got out of the car in awe. The sweet music of the birds bombarded us everywhere we turned. We felt the soft fresh breeze on our faces, we…

It's a small but pretty campground, only a handful of campsites and butted up against Pine Creek. I let the dogs out to play in the water and considered grabbing a fly rod. Pine Creek supposedly has small wild trout in it and what better scenery to catch them in. After realizing my Jetboil stove, that's traveled…
