Not everyone served their country by fighting the Axis Powers on the front line. Many did their part in their hometown and Dorothy Haener was one of them. She contributed to the war effort by working in a plant and inspecting B-24 parts. Even growing up, Dorothy was exposed to the expectation that women were to aspire to marriage and raise a family while their husbands worked. She also noticed that many men thought women were inferior to them and were even lower in their eyes if they were…

When music producer, hat connoisseur, and “Happy” singer Pharrell Williams sat down with Oprah in 2014 to discuss his successful life story, we learned of how the star views his identity. Coining the term, “The New Black,” Pharrell explains, “The New Black doesn 't blame other races for our issues. The New Black dreams and realizes that it 's not a pigmentation; it 's a mentality.

Jack Flanagan argued that violent video games promote antisocial behavior.A major point of his was that the game 's environment affects the player 's attitude. He referenced an experiment to prove this; a group of players played a relaxing game and another played a tense game like resident evil. “Those who played high-stakes gaming like Resident Evil were more competitive than those that played less intense games like fishing”(Flanagan, 2015).

When President Clinton was elected, foreign policy was not something that he was expecting to be employing. Frankly, it was not something that he was at all prepared to do. On inauguration day, he was 46 years old, making him the third-youngest person to hold the oval office. His prior political experience was time as a governor and as the Attorney General for the state. The United States has just finished the Gulf War. He was elected on campaign promises that focused on fixing domestic issues.…

Black Americans were the only racial or ethnic group brought to America against their will. Africans came to be captured and sent to the Western Hemisphere as slaves (Sowell 184). They were submitted to forced labor and had no human rights.
