In the Star Trek series, Klingon is a completely developed language that the aliens speak. On the other hand, in A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin has created only a few words or phrases of the native languages for example the nine Low Valyrian dialects or Dothraki, the language of the steppe nomads of Essos.

pursuit towards futurism. Tesla Motors is still not a household name, it is ultimately a luxury brand and as a result, the population is still not sold on his vision for an advanced future (Vance, 2015). Musk should dedicate more of his budget away from R&D and more towards exposing his company towards domestic and foreign markets. This would quell consumer suspicions towards the energy change, and give even greater investor confidence to fund his future projects (Vance, 2015). By increasing…

Racism is and may always be a sensitive topic for Americans to discuss. It is both unfortunate but true that in our past and present time, our country has struggled with racism. It’s a hard topic to tackle, and there are certainly times when we jump through hoops to ignore it. The question is, how do we handle something so fragile yet so imperative to discuss, without offending our fellow Americans? Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is a controversial novel that “has been criticized…

In order to generate a ten-song playlist that typically assists me in achieving physical health while doing exercises, I started to select music from those I usually listened to while I was walking or doing exercises. I was struggling at first when I simply sat down and selected songs in my iPod, because there seemed to be a lot of songs that could be chosen as long as the beats were not too slow and the styles were lively, which made me confused about how to limit the playlist to only ten songs…

They were all very concerned about how I was going to write an in-depth paper about race and gender and how it shapes my life experiences. They said things like “Julia, you are a middle-upper class, white girl from small town Iowa how are you going to write anything for this paper?” or “You are a typical college girl from one of the whitest counties in America, there is no way you are going to write a good paper, right…

However if we step back and take a look around, we notice that our society of people will care more about what Justin Bieber’s favorite color is, than what social issues are happening in the world today. This idolization issue goes back to many, many years ago, back to when we had a king running America; because it’s scientifically…
