I arrived at Easton School District’s Forks Elementary School at around 8:45 a.m. that morning, a few minutes before the children were let in for class, to observe a 4th grade classroom. The instructor for the class, Mrs. Powell met with me in the main office to walk me down to her classroom. The first thing I saw when walking into the classroom was all of the different learning tools around the room, Mrs. Powell's use of both chalkboards for different objectives was just one, along with open…

I consider my hometown to be Grand Forks, North Dakota. I was born at the former United Hospital in Grand Forks in 1994, and have lived here for my entire life—with the exception of about a year spent in Walhalla, North Dakota, due to the flood of 1997. The schools that I attended while growing up are all within fifteen minutes of driving from my current house. My parents live just 6.2 miles away from me. Although Grand Forks is my city of birth, it wasn’t until I started college that I really…

The public must be enlightened, but the public must not be belittled. That is the major difference between Anna Lappe's essay The Climate Crisis at the End of Our Fork and Derrick Jensen and Stephanie McMillan's As the World Burns: 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Stay in Denial.

include meat, fish, poultry, and unprocessed eggs. Mainly things that haven’t been prepared or altered. This suggestion isn’t supported by “the scientific weight of rigorous randomized controlled trials” because nutrition rarely is. In the documentary, Forks Over Knives, director Lee Fulkerson and producer John Corry states, “ Disease can decrease if anyone decided to turn to a plant based whole foods diet.” Our genes are chemically changed by what we eat. Small cases of cancer ( 1-2%) aren’t…

big enough to impact the environment. Critically acclaimed author Anna Lappé describes the climate crisis through the food production industry in a sector of industry where people rarely scrutinize in her article “The Climate Crisis at the End of Our Fork.” In a very different, yet scarily similar way Carolyn Merchant metaphorically describes the problems with modern human tendency and desires through the image of a shopping mall in “Eden Commodified.” The United States is obsessed with…

Social Conditions in “Meet You In Hell” Les Standiford’s 2005 “Meet You In Hell” biography of two men, Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick, recalls the events after and before the bloody incident that occurred on July of 1892.

After the dust had…
