The NSW Freedom Ride of 1965 was a controversial event that played a major role in promoting the civil rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. With quite simple aims and very basic methods, the Freedom Riders caused a stir across Australia, leading to many short and long term implications on both the white Australian and ATSI population. The Rides empowered both ATSI and white Australians to take a stand against discrimination, protect equality and foster the process of…

Crystal Cove, New Hampshire, a quiet and quaint town nestled on sandy beaches with astonishing views everywhere you turn. Small in size but large in personality, drama, and uniqueness. You can walk on the beach, the boardwalk, the pier and yet a few miles down the road ride through the old covered bridges. The winters are brisk and freezing and you can count on having a good time if you enjoy snow. During the winter, everything is draped in a white blanket for weeks. The trees look like…

The 21st century is often seen as the most important time for global political renewal. The 21st century saw many countries break away from colonialism and enter into a transitional stage of independence in which new political systems that would lead them forward and away from their past needed to be chosen. Coincidentally at approximately this time, the cold war which consisted of a competition between the two main political systems of capitalism and communism was taking place and at the end of…

In that view, the church replaces — or as they would say — “fulfills” — Israel. There is no further national program for Israel nor is there a future earthly kingdom lasting for 1000 years with Christ ruling from Jerusalem. This millennial (which means 1000 years) view is called Amillennialism (meaning: no literal millennium). I reject that view in favor of what’s called Premillennialism which basically says that Christ will return before the millennium to set up His 1000-year kingdom on earth.…

Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 film Vertigo is now considered by the American Film Institute to be the best film of all time. With that title comes some flack for “beating” out all of the other films that come out ever. Obviously this title is subjective and doesn’t make the film anymore better or meaningful than it previously was, but the backlash from film critics are kind of ironic being about Vertigo. People are writing article after article and blog post after blog post about how Vertigo doesn’t…

Covenantal camps, the Messiah (Jesus) is cut off (crucified) after the 7 and 62 (7+62=69) weeks. These are weeks of years, not days. Dispensationalists teach a parenthesis (2000-year gap) between the 69th and 70th week, which becomes the church age of grace, essentially starting from Christ’s resurrection and extending all the way until the rapture of His Church just prior to His second coming. The future 7-year tribulation period is Daniel’s final 70th week of years (7 years). The Old Testament…

One of the most notorious and unapologetic groups in n rap of the 1980s, N.W.A. (Niggaz Wit Attitude), helped to redefine rap as something that could be intelligent, transformative, and socially aware. You can hear the influences of satire, funk, and realism in their lyrics as well as the impact of artists like Public Enemy, Prince, and RUN DMC. One of their most iconic songs, ‘Fuck Tha’ Police’ was listed on Rolling Stone 's: Greatest Songs of All Time, but it goes much deeper than that. I…

By definition of middle schoolers, to be beautiful means that someone is physically attractive and enticing, but it also means that a person is content with who they are. For the past one hundred years, beauty trends and icons have changed drastically through each decade. Whether it was Hollywood’s Golden Age or the Roaring 20s, something new was thought of as beautiful at the height of each and every decade. In some decades it was desirable to have an hourglass figure, while in other decades it…

For a number of reasons, culture is significant to a variety of ethnicities all around the world. When people think about culture they tend to think of traditions, values, and beliefs. We often gain a sense of knowledge about culture from our family, friends, the education system, and media. Thanks to the many forms of communication surrounding us, it is almost impossible for people in a certain culture to be unaware of cultures outside of their own. When learning about other cultures an…
