I awoke with a gasp; I was disoriented. My breaths were frantic and sporadic. I examined the room in which I had awoken in. I rest my eyes upon a frail and sickly looking man who had a expression on his face of utter horror. The man frantically left room; I attempted to go after him, but quickly I fell to the ground. My body felt alien to me. I examined my body to find a thin, pale skin that covered my grotesque body. My veins and arteries were visible through my skin. The skin was so tight my…

The settler makes history and is conscious of making it. And because he constantly refers to the history of his mother country, he clearly indicates that he himself is the extension of that mother-country. Thus the history which he writes is not the history of the country which he plunders but the history of his own nation in regard to all that she skims off, all that she violates and starves. (Fanon 49) Resistance literature is a magnificent form of how people who have been once…

In the history of the Greek culture, myths emerged to explain the unexplainable. Some of the myths that came about were about monsters, and one monster is the Minotaur. Son of Queen Pasiphae of Krete and an actual bull, the Minotaur came into this world. His mother Queen Pasiphae shut him in the Cnossian Labyrinth, with the only food source being the bodies of youths and maidens that the Athenians were obliged to send as tribute. Asterion, the birth name of the Minotaur, means “starry one” that…

If one would go around and ask the constituents of College of Dupage about their biggest issue on campus some would complain about the cafeteria food chains, the educational policies but the one complaint you would hear the most would be parking. Every year there are about 28,000 students who enroll, meaning they all attend by either riding the bus or driving. Majority of them drive, considering the fact that they are also new drivers who enjoy their newfound freedom. Since that is the case most…

assistance in support of their allies, but limited their involvement to supplying equipment and personnel support in efforts to fight off the advances of the Chinese and Soviet Union backed North Vietnam. As the conflict progressed, the American footprint and role in South Vietnam continued to grow in both financial obligation and personnel.

Globalization, over population, and climate change are major concerns that continue to be ignored and discarded by government and citizens alike. Whether this is because they don’t believe the world is getting hotter or they do not think addressing population and globalization are economically doable, it is still a real problem. Thomas Friedman wrote the book Hot, Flat, and Crowded, which describes these issues and solutions to prevent them. Hot describes global warming, climate change and…

Growing up I remember my teachers preaching about how we need to take care of our environment. In order to reduce your carbon footprint, they would say “take shorter showers, shut the lights off, and instead of having your parents drive you to a friend’s house, walk.” I always listened to this advice, trying to be as green as I possibly could. Last year I watched an eye opening documentary about our current climate and environmental crisis; however, the documentary didn’t focus on how we drove,…

THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON BUSINESS According to Sarah Ganly (2010), “Globalization has also impacted management because it has led to many employees transfers to international locations. This causes the need for more management and forms of communication. This also requires management to consider the needs of employees in other countries and to offer compensation for relocation. Thus, management must consider a much larger market, more competition, and international employees.” With…
