A Generation of Conformists: How Things Have Changed Sir Ken Robinson’s, “How Schools Kill Creativity,” and Roger Scruton’s, “The Idea of University” describe education from the past, how it is currently, and that it continues to evolve and change. I am sure by now, most have heard of the marshmallow study done in the 1960’s at a Stanford University campus nursery school.

spectacular yet bitter novel that portrays lives from the “Lost Generation” and provides social commentary on the disillusionment seen after the Great War. The war destroyed long-standing beliefs in love, faith, loyalty and morality, and forced people to set new standards to man’s transgression and brutality that was so mercilessly experienced during the war. With traditional notions of society shattered, members of the post-war generation found themselves with a profound emptiness and no…

In Defense of Freedom: A Conservative Credo Before diving into this literature, I find it important to understand the author, Frank Meyer. Meyer was born in New Jersey and attended Princeton and Oxford. He later studied at London School of Economics, but was expelled and deported for “communist activism.” Meyer, like the majority of founders of National Review Magazine, was one of the first full U.S. communist activists. It wasn’t until his service during World War II with the U.S. Army, where…

While I do work for a family business, it still might not feel appropriate for the millennial generation that my company has never had a woman or a person of color as a partner. This doesn’t just matter as a customer, but as a prospective employee as well. Employers need to work to foster relationships with women, people of color, and the LGBTQIA…

poet, who was at the center of the social scene of American expatriates in the 1920s Paris. She identifies that Hemingway’s is “lost generation.” This term characterizes the emotional, moral and in many cases physical emptiness of the post-WWI generation, that witnessed the bloodiest and deadliest times known to man, to this point in history.
