Fair Park

workshop where members participated in an activity which taught the participants the importance of communication and how to cope with obstacles that can arrive in FFA, school, and life. From holding these positions, I have also assisted at the State Fair by walking in the parade with other members as well as assist in running the FFA barnyard. These allowed me to discuss and inform children and adults about the agriculture industry and FFA. I have gained amazing experiences throughout the FFA…

have not aged a bit but have, in fact, grown to become a symbol for the town’s beautiful Sinclair Lewis Park. The two are part of a fountain piece in one section of the park which also includes a playground, picnic area, fishing pier and campground. While towns near Sauk Centre have some sort of green space, few match the beauty, the versatility, and usability of the five city parks. The parks have something to offer people of all ages and even accommodate large family and group gatherings. I…

treated with less respect and fairness than their neighbors.They suffered many violent attacks and threats, but the managed to push through. Based off her own experiences, Hansberry introduces the Younger’s to Mr. Lindner, the chairman of the Clybourne Park Improvement Association. Mr. Linder gives the family a generous yet offensive offer. “Our association is prepared, through the collective effort of our people, to buy the house from you at a financial gain to your family” (Hansberry 1557).…

**HOOK NEEDED** In the satiric novel, Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray exposes and examines the vanities of 19th century England. Numerous characters in the novel pursue wealth, power, and social standing, often through marriage or matrimony. Thackeray effectively uses the institution of marriage to comment on how these vanities often come at the expense of the true emotions of passion, devotion, and, of course, love. In Vanity Fair, money is the pinnacle to all solutions to nearly all…

fun at these street fairs, but today she just wanted to go home. Ivy’s the reason I’m here, she thought, if only she actually bothered to show up. Mareike kept walking only to be stopped by some college kids running one of the booths. “Hey girlie, you look like you could use some of this,” one of the workers said. He walked back to the booth and poured something into one of the cups they had there.…

In the documentary movie, The Central Park Five, when the media is reporting the park jogger case with two completely different tones, it failed to comply a basic moral principle: to be objective on any cases. Extreme descriptions such as “wilding” and “wolf pack” exaggerate the negative image of these teenagers, even though who are actually innocent in this case. The media is trying to plant prejudices in the public’s mind, to make decisions for them to treat the five teenager suspects as pure…

In August of 2008 the late Christopher Hitchens wrote an essay published in Vanity Fair that was titled “Believe Me, It’s Torture”. This essay was unique because of its strange pairing of content and audience. Christopher Hitchens had decided to put a fairly controversial political essay in a magazine that targets women, covers fashion and pop culture, and typically steers away from politics entirely. This shows that his intended audience was the average adult woman in america. Christopher…

religions. Women, people with disabilities and families with children may also face barriers to their fair housing rights. For many families, discrimination in housing was brought to the forefront in the 1960s. In the United States before 1968, laws were not established to protect minorities from inequality and discrimination that occurred when attempting to purchase a house, or apartment. Thus, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, also referred to as Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act, was created to…

Globalization is the process where different countries interconnect, and trade goods for the purpose of making business out of what each other can produce, often these trades impact each country differently. Kenneth Pomeranz, and Steven Topik, discuss in their book “The World That Trade Created” how globalization has impacted the world since early history. Trade creates a wider gap between rich and the poor, this being a negative impact for the poor, where they continue to get even poorer. Where…

In October of 2011 Texas Representative Lamar Smith introduced the Stop Online Piracy Act to the United States House of Representatives. The bill boasts heightened copyright laws that claim to protect free speech and creativity while it actually accomplishes the opposite. Online service providers, or OSPs, are the target of SOPA legislation. SOPA places liability for copyright law infringing content on innocent corporations that merely provide a platform for users to share content. Most…
