Lately I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about how there has been a bit of controversy about an art students painting and whether or not it should be displayed at the art exhibition here on campus. It has been brought to my attention that in the painting the artist depicted herself as a sailor seducing her boyfriend who was depicted as a siren. Some people feel like the painting is pornographic while others believe that it is simply artistic. But is it really a big deal? A question that I’m pretty…

country we live in today, religious liberty is very prominent. To my understanding, today no is forced to abide by a particular religion. The participation in religion solely relies on the choice of the individual. However, centuries ago, religious freedom was looked down upon. There are numerous events that took place that resulted in the branches of other denominations and religious liberty. British Colonist settled on the Eastern seaboard of America.

Recycling laws such as the GatesburgGoGreen Initiative are bogus and should not be adopted by any community in the United states. This is just another way for local goverments to abuse their power.Not only would they write tickets and fines, but they would be invading our privacy. Recycling is a great idea but, should by no means be inforced by local governments. First off, if we accept laws that force us to recycle, law enforcement will take it to extremes we never could have imagined…

In the first chapter of “Ways of Seeing” the author, John Berger, mentions many points about how the reproduction of art has changed the way we see art as a whole. Specifically, in the last paragraph he makes a strong statement about how art of the past has now become a political issue.

The job of a journalist is to investigate news stories and present unbiased, factual information. When they fail to adhere to this standard or knowing publish false information to sway public opinion, the ramifications could be far-reaching.

Beyond the implications fake…

I agree with Jalea that parents should not censor their child’s exposure in school. Going to a public school daily allows a child to broaden his or hers own marketplace of ideas.

The socialization skills a child is able to learn in a public school system allows them to contribute to political…

like this really show a movements true colors and these type of actions show that this movement is led by a group of uneducated, narcissistic, hypocrites. These people care only about themselves. They couldn’t care less if they take away someone’s freedom of speech or their pursuit of happiness because they disagreed with something someone said and because of that, that person must be punished which is the…
