For my I.S., I am interested in cross-racial alliances and support for social movements form on racial issues. Specifically, I will study White American support and or participation in Black social movements. Existing literature broadly tell us that grievances, access to resources, and identity play roles in whether or a person decides to join the movement. The grievance theory and resource mobilization theory both leave gaps and contributes nothing to explain why a person outside of the race in…

Immigration is an important part of United States’ history. Between the years of 1870 and 1910, more than 20 million individuals migrated to the nation. As the years progressed, many of the American natives began to treat migrants unfairly. The group of migrants that I have chosen to focus on is the Chinese. Many Chinese migrants dwelled together in Los Angeles’s Chinatown. The immigration process for the Chinese was both a positive and negative experience. After coming to the United States, the…

Defining robber baron, in some cases it’s an opinion. I can think a robber baron is just some cheapskate that sells fake shoes online, or a boss at Mcdonald's who doesn’t give raises, or a drug lord. But the actual definition is a an american capitalists who made a fortune in the late 19th century by ruthless, or unright things. Then there are the captains of industry. Men/women, who have made a fortune by positively helping out other people, their country, and their country's economy. The…

Pirating is a crime. Yes, the one where sailors get on enemy ships and rob the opposing crew of their treasure, but the other definition as well. According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of piracy relevant to today’s time is “the unauthorized use of another's production, invention, or conception.” In this case, pirating music. You’re an average teenager -- one without a job, without a purpose, and about three hours’ worth of global homework. Nothing could possibly get you through this…

currency and the federal government had no power to tax the states. The lack of trading laws caused tension between states, because trading was a free-for-all. Having no set form of currency was also an issue, because 10 cents in Massachusetts might be 12 cents in New Jersey and 9 cents in Rhode Island, making trade and purchasing items very difficult. The Articles also permitted the states to tax, which made it impossible to pay off debts because the state tax people didn’t enforce the taxes.…

Others suggest that demolishing the penny could decrease the struggle that Americans call inflation. However, it is obvious that inflation will only increase. Jeff Sommers suggests in his article “Penny Wise or 2.4 Cents Foolish?,” that “‘retailers in the real world might raise prices more than lower them.

Eat your breakfast, Travis” (Hansberry). The younger family was struggling so much they were unable to provide their son Travis 50 cents for school.
