In spite of this response, many modifications have been made to climate change articles to make them more…

The “Plasticized” video is a chilling reminder of how we take for granted the convenience of single use plastics. Who would have thought that thousands of miles off shore you would find tiny “nurdles” or virgin plastic floating in the ocean? I honestly did not even know that this is what virgin plastic was termed. I had no idea that you could drag the surface of the ocean in the middle of no-where and find this stuff floating. I thought the documentary was well done and it surprised me that…

People are always tempted to summon the devil for their own selfish ways. Foremost, Washington Irving, The Devil and Tom Walker, Tom was driving to commit his fate-less act by greed. For example, Tom shows his eagerness to deal with the devil when the devil tells him to open a broker’s…

The United States enjoyed a steady expansion through its acquisition of land in the 1783 Treaty of Paris, Louisiana Purchase, Treaty of Ghent, and treaties with the kingdoms of Spain and Russia. By the 1830s, the American people populated a third of the North American continent, but alas it was still not enough. A nationalistic belief coined by John Sullivan as Manifest Destiny revived American interest in westward expansion under the pretense that the United States was predestined for…

In the play Romeo and Juliet By William Shakespeare, the cause of death for both Romeo and Juliet was poison. Think of the character that introduced the farce of death via poison to escape marriage. Friar Laurence, in order to prevent the marriage of Juliet and Paris, introduces a last minute plan to fake Julie’s death, thus stopping the wedding. The real problem of Romeo and Juliet was improper planning. One problem of the plan was how rushed it was. Juliet runs away to Friar’s doorstep…

In Research Methodology 5023, Tammy and I were going to work on a systematic review comparing Magnet vs non-Magnet hospitals and improved patient outcomes, but unfortunately we did not find significant up to date statistical data that met the course's requirements, so we ended up switching gears and worked on an entirely different topic. At any rate,…

Lawrence’s, “On The Scarlet Letter,” it is made clear that he does not praise the character Hester Prynne in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter.” To Lawrence, the portrayal of Hester Prynne is a mockery. Lawrence employs a sarcastic tone, repetition, and precise allusion to critique Nathaniel Hawthorne’s vision of Hester Prynne. This method is effective because it allows the reader to focus on Hester Prynne’s sin itself rather than…
