All of these statistics are extremely impressive, and one would think they would be world records. They were at one point. But former Olympic sprinter Ben Johnson, MLB baseball player Barry Bonds and cyclist Lance Armstrong all have admitted to using performance enhancing drugs (PEDs), also known as anabolic steroids, thus…

As my generation has grown up, it has been a trend for movie makers to make the old superhero comics and films into new and improved superhero films. In all the films that I have seen advertised, on DVD, or in theaters, a man has been portrayed as the big and strong main character/superhero and the woman has been portrayed as the “damsel in distress.” Even on the posters for the movies the guy is made to look larger than the woman even if she has the privilege to be on the poster. Sexism is a…

form was never intended to exclude or be un-useful to the Black readers. Her cycle of poetry from “A Street in Bronzeville”, “Annie Allen”, “Bean Eaters”, and her post 1967 writings all embody the way in which Brooks saw race relations and poverty in America. Each of her selection series speak to ear that need to hear the truth and her dictions demands her readers to reflect, change, or follow suit. Her negative criticism pushes scholars to question and evaluate her elite poetic elements and…

We are willing to pay you for him, two thousand dollars cash!” the man yelled at her while he had a gun pointed at her, they began to grow impatient. “No! Please, don’t do this! You don’t have…

Perhaps because she was asked to put on clothes and that would obstruct his view of her partially naked body. Sammy feels the need to be the “Clark Kent” of the story, an unsuspecting hero who steps in to save the day. I feel his actions were completely misplaced there was absolutely no reason why he should’ve stepped in. By him trying to step in and stand up to Lengel he further proves the point…

are harassed by The Clan of the Fiery Cross, who singled them out, due to their color (Lantz, n.d.) With the help of everyone’s favorite redheaded freckled faced Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen, and burly mild mannered Daily Planet reporter, Clark Kent, aka Superman, they helped to battle and stop The Clan of the Fiery Cross from doing acts of terrorism, violence, crime, and vandalism. The story helped to put the KKK on the same moral ground as the Nazis, Mussolini, and Lex Luthor. With…

America the fallen I pledge allegiance to the flag and the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. I’ve stood up, placed my right hand over my heart, and performed these lyrics of the pledge of allegiance since kindergarten. I never quite understood why some students were so ignorant and would choose to sit or sleep in highschool when we were asked to stand for the pledge. In middle school and…

“The Pro-Social Mission” If you think about what a superhero means to you, many answers may fly around like bravery, strength, or power. Very rarely do you ever hear about what exactly makes a superhero, super. In my opinion, I believe it is this pro-social mission that keeps them going on the never ending battle against the fight with evil. A hero can have as many powers or identities that they want to have, but the most important component of their being is that they have a specific goal in…

Even though it is not always positive and in need of regulation in areas such as slander and hateful expression towards ethnic, cultural and sexual identity of persons, it is considered a fundamental human right.
