Campus Martius Park

I’ve always believe having firearms on college campus will have more negative effects that outweigh the positives. By having firearms on campus we are at risk at having another University of Austin or Virginia Tech incident. Supporters of the open carry argue that in the case of an active shooter on campus the students and faculty armed with a permit to carry a handgun can protect the lives of many. Which is true to an extent, but many shooters are normally not only armed with assault weapons…

theory of dramatism can be applied to a myriad of settings and events in one’s life, but one that I can see very evident is my role as a resident assistant. A resident assistant’s job is to supervise a floor or building of residents on a college campus. They are responsible for making sure that residents have a fun, healthy and safe college experience. As an RA, there are several meetings and events that one has to attend and plan, including a weekly module meeting, small group meetings with…

The Safety of College Campuses today Campus safety was not always a major priority for many universities a decade ago. This unfortunately came at a price for one school back in 2007. On April 16th, a Virginia tech Senior managed to kill a total of 32 people and wounding 17 others on campus. If a single shooter managed to hurt and kill a total of 49 people on two different parts of campus, it was clear that Virginia tech had a major weakness involving campus safety resources.

of use and wide array of advantages. Also known as an overhead shot, this scene will require the camera to be facing directly down to the ground in a perpendicular fashion in order to achieve the desired effect. This should serve to elongate the campus as it travels across buildings, fields, and people walking around. It’s also worth noting that this would be an ideal moment to add in a title sequence because although the scene itself is important, individual components of it (i.e. the people…

“Hiding From Scary Ideas” and Shulevitz wants parents to not shield their children from new ideas. Shulevitz is trying to show how protecting students from ideas dissimilar from their own may lead to them not being able to face the real world outside of campus where there won’t be any safe spaces to keep them from feeling hurt by others’…

Everyday is unpredictable and has a different story. However right as soon as an ASPCA transporter, Bryan saw this one dog he knew he had to have her. Bryan Hayes, the transporter, has driven over 50,000 miles and seen many animals over the year (“ASPCA”). Bryan said “As she came off the plane, I said, oh my god look at that dog! I knew I wanted to adopt her”. Another ASPCA worker said “When Bryan saw her come off the plane, he was smitten”(“ASPCA”). This program is proven to be very helpful to…

They play a major role in this deadly mix. Parents have the duty to warn their kids how bad alcohol can be for them. They have the responsibility to punish their teens when the teen is caught with alcohol. Unfortunately too many parents don't do either of those. Sometimes it is because the parent are alcoholics so the teen is raised in it and gets use to the alcohol so they follow in their parents footsteps. This creates a deadly bloodline that ruins generations and kills many in its wake. Then…

Every moment, everything in the universe change. Whether it is something miniscule such as an atom rearranging itself or on a larger scale such as the birth of a new life. One might say that change is the only constant thing in life. In their lifetime, one experiences ups and downs. These highs and lows are imperative in the growth and formation of a person. Unplanned events are normative components of the human experience. One can compare life to a heartbeat. On an electrocardiogram test a…

College carry laws, or laws that allow concealed weapons on college campuses, are quickly becoming more and more abundant. It’s not safer, the regulations make it almost impossible to make the weapons safer, and untrained students often hurt more than they help. Many people believe an armed America is a safer America. This is not true; however, since concealed weapons have been more readily available shootings and gun related crimes have increased. This applies to college campuses as well. Since…
