From baby boomers to millennials, we have grown up on Legos. Whether it was a five-hundred-piece space ship or 10,002-piece model empire state building, there are childhood memories of the Lego brand nestled in our brain. Way back, not so long ago, in 2008 I was nine years old. Christmas was right around the corner and I had only one item on my list, the Batcave Lego set complete with the bat mobile and batwing. Obviously once Christmas morning came, I viscously tore into that gigantic red…

Aromatic rings are very unique and therefore can follow very specific reactions in order to add select substituents to its ring. One of those types of reactions is referred to as Friedel-Crafts a reaction, to main sub-categories is Friedel-Crafts Alkylation and Friedel-Crafts Acylation. Both of these types of reactions involve electrophilic aromatic substitution and are work with deactivated rings (Friedel-Crafts Alkylation, 2010). In Friedel-Crafts Alkylation there is usually a secondary or…

Every single time I clean my room a little Lego piece shows up somewhere: under my bed, in my drawers, in my closet, and probably several have been sucked up by a vacuum cleaner. Even for the past five years I have had a Lego Star Wars ARC-170 bomber laying on my dresser. Legos are a way for me to express my imagination: they enable me to build what I want when I want. I have spent countless hours just tinkering with these plastic pieces and setting up storylines to go along with them. Slowly,…

Affirmative action As students begin to apply to colleges, they experience the effects of affirmative action for the first time. At first glance, it appears to be completely illogical and unfair. How can someone’s increased chances of being accepted improve equality? However, because of the rampant inequality and racism currently in America, affirmative action is required to level the playing. In America today, affirmative action is needed both because it leads to a more successful workplace and…

self-consciousness and deep need to be accepted by the group. Such factors as not being to wear their own clothes She idleness that does not allow them to use up the surge of energy that occurs during adolescents of energy that occurs during adolescence, the boredom (to which teens are especially susceptible), I suppose the prevalence of tattooing in inmates (although I do not know how they obtain them) gives them a sense of identification with a group yet distinctiveness at the same time. It…

Affirmative action is defined as, “admission policies that provide equal access to education for those groups that have been historically excluded or underrepresented, such as women and minorities” (“Affirmative Action Overview” n.p.). Affirmative action is a controversial topic when it comes to college acceptance and admissions. The Grutter v. Bollinger Supreme Court case concerning racial diversity in public colleges across America had greatly impacted many policies on affirmative action in…

and development of American foreign policy, but some ethnic groups are consistently more successful at influencing policy than others. Various foreign relations scholars have tried to explain this phenomenon that crops up again and again in American foreign policy. Among them are Tony Smith and Alvin Tillery, Jr., who developed different but complimentary theories to explain the origin of the discrepancy and analysis of how ethnic groups can lobby more effectively. Yet other scholars, such as…

As minorities, my family and I resemble ants. We try not to get stepped on, we fight to bring home the most we can, and we constantly prove ourselves to be incredibly strong. Neverending challenges threaten to defeat us, but with the support of our community, we are ready to overcome them. Being a minority placed several obstacles on my path. I’m easily unnoticed, belittled, and underestimated. As a young hispanic woman, being stereotyped is not something unfamiliar to me. I constantly…

Today was the fifth day of class, and for the majority of the class, Dr. Bennett-Alexander discussed affirmative action, a set of laws, policies, guidelines, and administrative practices “intended to end and correct the effects of a specific form of discrimination.” It is remarkable to hear Dr. Bennett-Alexander name certain events from 1619 to 1980 from the back of her head, I certainly cannot accomplish that. From 1619, when the first recorded Africans arrived in the United States of America…
