Amelia Earhart, the first female aviator to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. We often hear of men setting world records or becoming successful, but rarely of the accomplishments of courageous women. Throughout her life, Amelia earned several awards such as the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross Award. She was an example to follow for many women as she broke stereotypical boundaries and faced many challenges with bravery. Amelia Earhart not only accomplished her dreams but also overcame prejudice and…

The Wright Brothers' Flying Sister In 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first-ever airplane flight. The plane was called the Wright Flyer. It flew 12 seconds and 120 feet in the air, setting a world record. Wilbur and Orville then started a company to build more airplanes and asked their sister Katharine to help them. Katharine was just the right person for the job. Katharine had helped Wilbur and Orville build the first engine-powered plane. She was also smart and a good salesperson.…

The Last Flight, by Amelia Earhart, was an inspiring story of Earhart’s life and final moments. Amelia grew her love for airplanes from a young age. Her first recollection of seeing a plane was at the Iowa State Fair. She was not very interested at the time, but her love grew. She recognized her love for flying while at a show. The planes went up into the air and did trick after trick. They even swooped down towards the crowd sending everyone running. But not Amelia; she sat in aww watching the…

The United States takes pride on the ideology of supporting freedom, even naming itself “the land of the free” despite the many issues “minorities” have faced throughout its entire history. Nevertheless, many Americans believed that the United States has shown progress and has become more open, providing more opportunities for people of color, women, the LGBT community and so forth. However, with the election of Donald Trump as president, many of the Ideologies of America's past has unveiled…

So far this has been the best century, known as the Roaring Twenties, so far. This year has been the best year for my husband’s business, he is the owner of the local theatre, and his business has started to boom in the recent years, people come for entertainment of the movies. We are in the Age of Weimar, this is where satiability, economic security, and living standards continue to improve. I can strongly say I agree with this because every ones lives, no matter if you were poor or rich before…

In September, Donald Trump aired an ad against Hillary Clinton. Earlier in the month, Clinton gave a speech to donors in which she called Trump supporters “deplorable” because of their stances on social issues. In this ad, Trump attacks Clinton for her comment. The video begins with a montage of clips in which Clinton is (literally) framed in a dark light while a woman narrator explains the premise of Clinton’s quote. Next is a clip of Clinton, again darkened, saying the “basket of deplorables”…

Mention Donald J. Trumps name and you'll get a wide range of reactions. The American right believes him to be a person who speaks the truth, who is not in a lobbist pocket and will "Make America Great Again."

Hutton commercials of years past... "When Donald Trump speaks. People listen" If Trump truly wants to make a mark and…

After the presidential election there was outrage and protests all across the nation because of the news that Donald Trump was our president. We began to live in a time of fear once more. History has shown that we do things out of fear to protect ourselves. As well as social media has had a huge impact on us. Now, what else fuels these protests? Is it our anger or is it our fear of what is to come? As a society we fear consequences and with Donald Trump’s threats of deportation to “make America…
