Leading up to the 20th century, China had been ruled by dynasties. A history of power passed down in families determined by the mandate of heaven; an empire run by the wisdoms of heavenly ancestors.

In an attempt to gain a following, Mao Zedong organized the Long March. From 1934-36, Mao Zedong led his communist followers on a journey as Chiang Kai-Shek, the…

The term feminism, as described by MerrianWebster.com, is the belief that men and women deserve equality in all opportunities, treatment, respect, and social rights. The first appearance of feminist activism was during the late 19th and early 20th century as women fought for the right to vote. This is known as the first wave of feminism.

An essential message to take from When Billie Beat Bobby, a 2001 comedy drama film, is to not let anybody define you. This film focuses on the historic 1973 “Battle of the Sexes”, although relatively cheesily, and the struggles that Billie Jean King--the protagonist--undergoes as a young child and even when she is and adult and challenged by the “male chauvinist pig” Bobby Riggs, the antagonist. This message is asserted by Billie Jean King herself by her quote “Don’t let anybody define you.…

Do you ever ruminate what your life would be like if there were no government? Thomas Hobbes is one of the most influential European political philosophers that illustrates this question. Western political philosophy has its ties to the common law of the United Kingdom, but few people have knowledge of the “founding father” of our modern political system.
