There are serious problems with the Department of Veterans Affairs that need to change to give adequate benefits to those that need the Department’s services. There have been many articles telling of the hardships that veterans have had to go through to get the benefits that they deserve for fighting and getting injured in their service to the United States Armed Forces. Common sense seems to dictate that the government would take care of the veterans that served their country, and yet it seems…

After reading the essays “The Myth of the Ant Queen”, “Project Classroom Makeover”, and “The Naked Citadel” by Steven Johnson, Cathy Davidson, and Susan Faludi, readers may have spotted that collective knowledge, different systems of organization, and the three terms identity, conformity and group mentality, are mentioned in their respective essays.

With her new smaller nose and long, straight hair, the African-American woman seems to be toying with the idea of ambiguity. And maybe we shouldn't be surprised. The intermingling of ethnicities and races—via marriages, friendships, and other interactions—has created a peculiar fusion in this country. It's the great mishmash where Christmas and Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are celebrated in one long festive spirit, where…

So I decided to put it in color and bring out some facts by providing certain certain incidents that take place in these groups. I feel that it is very important to do research before donating.
