Murray in her article, “When They Aren’t Eating Us, They Bring Us Together: Zombies and the American Social Contract” suggests that individuals that have a community built on a common goal gives these people the best odds of surviving a Posthuman event. The episode “Killer Within” of The Walking Dead shows Rick, Carol, Maggie, Glenn, and Daryl acting individualistic towards members not in their pre-established community in an effort to…

My presence in this meeting is for the case for Community college. I would like to introduce myself as Matthew Cortez, a student from Los Angeles Pierce Community College and I 've been a student at Pierce College for just a one semester and I learned something. I am here to speak with Los Angeles City Council concerning about the closure of all Los Angeles Community Colleges. I 've learned a community college is not just for people who are just trying to get further in their education but its…

How would you describe your community college academic experience? Has it been "a walk in the park," "an uphill climb," or something else? Fill in the blank with your own expression and explain.

Coming from Nepal, a country vastly different from the United States both culturally and academically, my time here at TCC NE campus has been one of the most challenging, rewarding and…

“Never in my life would I have expected community colleges to be called potential saviors of the economy,” says George Boggs. There have been misconceptions on the validity of Community Colleges and why it might be an option to some people. Parents, institutions, and the general public see this life option as second best but what most do not realize is that Community Colleges serve as more than a “second tier” institution, but as a metaphorical fallback net. The assumption is that most students…

During my upper classman of high school I got chance to be apart of family that was all held together by something that meant more than just a…

Within the server, there are text channels. These include pictures, text, and video. Voice channels are…

Community College Education We all know the costs to attend a college is a burden to everyone who has a low income. College costs have skyrocketed over the past decade, and there is a gap between tuition and family finances.

For years, community groups, neighborhood organizations, and concerned residents from all walks of life have been working to make their communities healthier. They have fought against the closing of local hospitals, pushed for increased funding for clinics, and developed new programs to address the needs of the underserved.
