Coronado

The Grand Canyon, as it exists today, is an enormous, 277 mile-long trench carved through the landscape of Arizona by the Colorado River. It reached depths of up to 1 mile, and is as wide as 15 miles in some places. The Grand Canyon was created through the geographical changes brought about by the Laramide Orogeny, a seismic event that occurred approximately 70 million years ago and caused the formation of the Rocky Mountains. Later, around 18 million years ago, the Basin and Range Province was…

ride there seemed to take forever. I read the book Among the Betrayed on the plane and finished it before it landed. When we got to Florida, I remember this magic bus that picked us up and brought us to our resort. We stayed at this place called Coronado Springs. It was so beautiful. After we got settled in the hotel, we took a bus to Downtown Disney to eat something and play games. It was so much fun. After we were done walking around and eating, we went back to the hotel and got some sleep for…

Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) Policy: The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act amends the Animal Enterprise Protection Act of 1992 and gives the U.S. Department of Justice greater authority to target animal rights activists. The law broadens the definition of animal enterprise to include "academic and commercial enterprises that use or sell animals or animal products". It also increases the existing penalties, including penalties based on the amount of economic damage caused, including…

The Native Americans may have been the first humans in the Americas, but their societies were reduced to ultimately nothing. From 1492 to 1600, the population of natives dropped in millions, but that was really just the beginning as their population was never able to regain what it once was before European contact. In American Colonies: The Settling of North America, by Alan Taylor, the importance of the native interactions with Europeans, along with everything they brought with them from…

Picture a vast scope stretching from the Red River Basin to the Plains of Colorado to the Arkansas River to the Rio Grande. Envision the diverse groups of Natives that live on the land peacefully. Imagine the golden Pueblos of the Acoma Indians, the Hogan huts of the Navajo, and the wiki-ups of the Lipan. Then imagine this picturesque view shattered by European imperialism. The Europeans during the 16th and 17th centuries took several different approaches to the New World. The French saw…

The United States of America has been named as a youthful country, given its genuine starting in the year 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was broadcasted. As a general rule, the adventure colonization, these United States have been experiencing starts before 1776. It is anything but difficult to take after the sequential timeline of the United States. Its colonization history frequently starts with Leif Ericson, who has accepted to set out to this area in the year 1000. At that point,…

Dylan Lemon English 102 Dr. Clough 9/26/16 Should Anti-Immigration Measures Between the US and Mexico Be Reformed? As any politically active American would know, the topic of Illegal Immigration has transformed into a very heated debate throughout the recent years. Many are tired of hearing about it, and can you blame them? However, when babies of illegal immigrants make up 40 percent of the total births in California’s hospitals (Smith) and that the total number of illegal Mexican immigrants…

I remember the first day of middle school as a sixth grader. I was nervous yet excited to meet new friends, though I’m not the best at it. I would head to the cafeteria every morning as soon as my dad dropped me off. My friends and I along with many other students would gather around the cafeteria before class starts, but far across the table I was sitting was a different table. That table had students that seem to me, very uncontrollably hyper and obnoxious but isolated. There was one student…

as a guide only Score = 38. Conclusion In conclusion, the evaluations of the MMA listed above show an open opportunity for further research for clearer, more reliable research with evidence. As reported by Martinez-Perez, Torre-Diez,&Lopez-Coronado in 2013, “Assistive and monitoring apps are shown to be frequently used, whereas informational and educational apps are only occasionally used.” Careful evaluation of all research is key to safe practice. I urge all practitioners to conduct…

Growing up in Southeast San Diego, I have seen the lack of access to resources and advocacy for low-cost services due to language, cultural and socioeconomic barriers. Fortunately, my family and I found Barrio Logan College Institute (BLCI) in 2007. At the time it was one of the very few organizations that assisted first-generation college students and their families. This organization ultimately influenced me to become an ISCOR major and fueled my passion for community development. Ten years…
