Adolph Coors set up a brewery company in Colorado in 1873. (Coorslight.com) One of the beers that they produced was Coors Light. “Although, with the declining market in the brewing companies Coors light was able to continue to increase its sales and was able to see revenues climbing by 4.3 percent in the past year to $2.2 billion.” (Lamb, Hair, & McDaniel, 2014) It is interesting to see that Coors Light has not changed any of the manufacturing process or the product itself, but was able…

For this assignment, I watched “The Promised Land”. This movie is about a sales man, Steve, who goes to a small town in the country side that has been hit with economic hard times. Steve’s job is to go to big farm properties, and buy drilling rights of natural gas for his company, Global. He is originally from a farm town, so in order to be able to buy these rights, he “blends in” as a country men. While gathering the town people, a science teacher warns about the dangers of drilling and how…

I believe in truth. And in the pursuit of truth. When I was ten years old, I asked a neighborhood kid who was older than me: Which city is further west: Reno, Nevada or Los Angeles, California? The correct answer is Reno, Nevada. But he was convinced that it was the other way around. He was so convinced that Los Angeles was west of Reno that he was willing to bet me two bucks. I went into the house to get my Rand McNally Atlas. (When I was nine I had spent hours with a rectangular reading…

Death of the Colorado Small Business, Due to the Death of the Honeybee Charles Darwin, once said, “The life of man would be extremely difficult if the bee disappeared”. Humans have depended on agriculture, as a source of food, since the Neolithic Era. Back then humans didn’t know much about how, or why things grow, or taste the way they do. Pollinators such as the honeybee, played a huge part in helping those early crops along, and have carried the burden pollination and production since…

Hey brother, I want you to join with me to go to the west with me to California! You may not seem reluctant to do so, but I can tell you why it a good idea to come with me to the west. Although the West isn’t as civilized as the East, the land over at the West is more peaceful and quiet than the East, which I find loud and noisy. Would you rather live in a place that is rather noisy and less safe? Or would you live in a place that is quieter and safer? There are so many job and business…

The 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the short-lived Mexican-American War and awarded the United States more than half of Mexico’s territory. As the border moved south to the Rio Grande, between 75,000 and 100,000 Mexican citizens suddenly found themselves living in American territory. They were unfamiliar with their new country’s laws, language, and customs, and although the Treaty had awarded these new Mexican-Americans the full protections and rights of United States citizenship, it…

It is 7:23 a.m. on a Thursday morning, the pass allowing tardiness to first hour is tucked away in my tattered blue backpack. I sit in my car gazing at the quiet building. I have seven minutes to make it up the staircase, adorned with two lamp posts. I, along with many others, have visited Morgan Federal, the bank across the street, countless times and never realized just what was in the vicinity. A friend who works next door in the courthouse suggested I profile this place and gave the…
