East End of London

We arrived at a small café. At the counter we bought two orders of fish and chips wrapped in packets of paper. I followed Marisol outside to a bricked patio. The café tables stood under colorful canvas umbrellas. Marisol chose one furthest from the café’s backdoor, seeming to breathe easier now we were off the street. The aroma of golden battered fish and crispy chips made my stomach rumble, and I realized just how hungry I was. I knew it was from using my mage powers. A bottle of malt vinegar…

Torture has been the focus of ethical debate for quite some time. Many people have very different, opposing thoughts on whether it is alright to torture somebody or not. Whether it be torturing for information to save lives or punishment, the morals of have been discussed.

1 Introduction Leadership has been an intriguing and important part of human interactions for as long as people have lived and worked together in groups. Bass (1990) assert that leadership is a ?universal phenomenon? and that ?the study of leadership is an ancient art? (p.5). Leadership is one of the most widely talked about subjects and at the same time one of the most elusive and puzzling. Although the concept of leadership is as old as human history, interest in…

CONCLUSION There's a very low anger that resides in any respectable, intelligent person in this society about what goes on, and how impotent we seem to be to correct what goes on, and how we give power to people who don't deserve to possess power because they abuse it, and manipulate it, and treat people with contempt, and treat international law with contempt. (Louise Jury, ‘Harold Pinter: Not a Word Out of Place’. 22 February 2007.) For half a century Pinter engaged himself in depicting the…

Ring Around the Rosie Most people can recognize the common adolescent schoolyard game “Ring Around the Rosie.” Many, though, would naught recognize the manifestations of the Black Death, also known as the Bubonic Plague, displayed in the nursery rhyme.

Paul. “Why did people vote for Donald Trump? Voters explain.” The Guardian, 2016. Doesn’t want the government to be keeping secrets from him. “Trump is a slimy scumbag, who wears it like a badge of honour. But Trump is exactly what you get, Hillary is a phantom and you can’t know what’s real about her. Fainting in New York saying it was heat when it was a mild day, then saying it was pneumonia finally. Lying straight-faced about her emails.” I don’t understand Paul’s logic. He literally said…

nine identified as mixed or other. The infants were laid in their mother’s laps while hooked up to an electroencephalogram (EEG) which measured their brain waves as they viewed pictures of toys and human faces. The participants were from three East London boroughs (Tower Hamlets, Hackney, & Newham). All of these towns are considered to have a lack of resources, but participants had a wide range of income. Participants were found through community centers and day care centers. Eight…

In 1919, a successor to the 1913 militant nationalist organization, the Irish Volunteers, was formed with the purpose of using armed forces to turn over British rule in Ireland. The IRA, or Irish Republican Army, fought for independence from Britain through the employment of guerilla warfare and vicious war tactics to force the British officials to reconsider their rule. After negotiations with Great Britain, two autonomous political entities were formed: Northern Ireland and the Irish Free…
