instilled in him a feeling of otherness. In making Schindler’s List, Spielberg was trying to explore his Jewish heritage and make up for these feelings of guilt as a youth. “I was so ashamed of being a Jew, and now I’m filled with pride…This film has kind of come along with me on this journey from shame to honor” (McBride 18).

Poverty. A word that we do not often think about here in America where we have everything we could need and more. This past summer I had an eye opening encounter with poverty. I was anxious to arrive at Restored Church in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. As soon as we arrived I knew this was going to be a completely different experience compared to other mission’s trip I had been on. I was unaware of just how much this trip was about to affect me and my way of thinking. We were just a group of…

year there was one person in particular that our worlds didn’t collide very well together. I won’t use the other person name for this story I’ll call him Chris (The Bully). Chris was a student at LCA since kindergarten however we didn’t meet until third grade but the bullying started in junior high. We would fight a lot and sometime we would be angry at each other for a while. The attacks against me were starting to get physical but I barely fought back. I still didn’t realize I was being…

She depicts herself as "the non-American-black", commenting about Black Americans. While Americanah is a story of individual…

to build up friendships. This can also be applied to the complex structure and length of German sentences. In order to understand those sentences a listener has to listen thoroughly to receive the full meaning of a sentence. Furthermore, as the third term in Hall’s model the time usage is stated. The monochrome time orientation, to which the German culture is counted, is the one dimensional use of time. A direct connection exists between low-context cultures and monochrome time ori-ented…

Our lesson begins with how our food production has developed, and, as doing so, how we destroyed the environment. One of the most prominent study on population was done by Tomas Robert Malthus. Born in 1766, he argued that since the rate of population growth and food supply growth are different, there will be more people than food. Fundamentally, he is claiming that food supply determines the population. This theory was the base that lead to Social Darwinism. However, Ester Boserup disagreed.…

The subject of lesbian eroticism and desire in today’s society brings to mind the images of women engaging in lewd acts. The poems “Friendship’s Mystery to My Dearest Lucasia” set by Mr. H Lawes ,“To the Fair Clarinda, Who made Love to Me, Imagined More than Woman” by Aphra Behn and “Decade” by Amy Lowell each have their own take on this subject. The theme of lesbian eroticism and desire expressed within the stanzas supports both its original context as well as society’s current views.…
