Massillion, Ohio had a payroll of $1,000 by 1904. (Crepeau 4) The first African American, Charles Follis, to be payed in football was paid in 1904. American football had spread all the way to the west coast now. On August 20, 1920, four teams from Canton, Akron, Dayton, and Cleveland, formed the American Professional Football Association. (Crepeau 6) In the next meeting, eleven more teams joined this association. This league did not succeed. Any of the teams struggled to make money or draw any…

“Like its Union sibling, it had a dark blue field in the upper left corner -- or the canton -- and only three stripes, two red and one white. It had seven stars to represent the breakaway states: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. And the white stars formed a circle, much like the original Betsy…

Byron Whitlow Paper 1 Impact of Information Technology on Culture HUMN 344 Professor Bingley During a trip to Florida last December, I wasn 't surprised to notice that the instant it landed at the airport, the first thing everyone did was to switch on their cells and tablets. Like back in the day, folks didn 't jump immediately to switch on a flip phone. Nor did they zip to the nearest payphone, throw in a quarter to make a call. Information technology is so readily integrated in all of…

reader, this is known as logos. In “The Santa Ana”, Didion appeals to logos by informing the reader about the effects it has on the people. Didion states, “In Switzerland the suicide rate goes up during the foehn, and in the courts of some Swiss cantons the wind is considered a mitigating circumstance for crime” (Didion, paragraph 4).

For example, one time when I was going to my bus stop, because I had more time, I walked slowly and admired the white snow and the sound of the soft crunch it made under my feet. It was quite lovely. Another time, I was doing the dreaded Plymouth-to-Canton walk, and for the first time, I noticed that I could not smell anything. It was as if my nose was frozen, so the only smell I could sense was cold air. This discovery amused me. Now Friday was a special day because it was actually a snow day!…

I believe that patriotism is the amount of respect and feeling that someone has towards the country that they live in. Different levels of patriotism can be determined by the amount that someone is willing to sacrifice for their country and the people living within it to help the country as a whole. This can be displayed through various ways but the main one that comes to mind is of those that serve in the military. These men and women should be given the utmost praise for what they have done by…

For example, to this point in my life, I have not had and still do not have a girlfriend. Furthermore, I also rarely go out with friends because I would rather not spend the money. On one occasion, in fact, I went with some friends to Menchie’s on Canton Center Rd.; they all bought food, but I refrained from getting anything because I did not want to spend the money. My friends definitely made fun of me for it, but I think that taking the abuse was better than spending money on something I did…

Over the past two centuries, Europe’s grasp on the world has strengthened and tightened increasingly, the “Western” influence becoming one that is looming and inevitable. Europe’s pre-eminence emerged almost accidentally, the product of an incidental group of conditions in the world economic system that Europe and America were able to properly exploit. This western influence that they exhibited was one that gleamed of new technologies and modernization, expecting the eastern world to quickly…

Can people consider America a free country if not all the citizens have the same rights? A free country needs free people. The citizens of the United States of America (mainly the women) have many more rights than they did 150 years ago. Susan B. Anthony (see Appendix A) audaciously led the United States in the direction of equal rights, and her legacy aided in the fulfillment of her goals and greatest desires. Susan B. Anthony’s early life and upbringing had a pointed influence on her beliefs…
