In the article Small Change: Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted the author Malcolm Gladwell states how social media has “weak ties” which means that it has weaker bond towards the people, while interacting with people have a stronger bond. In my perspective I agree with the writer about his statement, although there are some rhetorical devices that the author used to emphasize his point that does not have as much impact as the other devices. Some of the rhetorical devices he used to…

When Donald Trump announced his running mate, Mike Pence to be his vice-president, many people of the LGBTQIA community across the country fell into a panic. Even though Trump was regarded by some as one of “the most pro-LGBT Republican presidential nominees ever, because he expressed sympathy for the LGBTQIA community after the Orlando nightclub shooting” (Grinberg), Trump did not necessarily express much about the issues that have erupted among the community as much as his conservative…

Though I may not get to spend as much time in Pittsboro, my roots will always be in this town. Pittsboro, North Carolina was…

The United States had a surplus of foreign concerns during key moments of the Civil Rights Movement.

Change was rampant across the U.S. at the awakening of the 1960’s. This was due in part to the civil rights movement, which used many courses of action to stop discrimination against black people. The trilogy March, by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, and illustrated by Nate Powell, shows how at the forefront of this movement could be found its leaders, namely Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis, Stokely Carmichael, Malcolm X and many others, who spent and even gave their lives to better the lives of…

It was regarded as one of the most effective non-violent form of protest (Kronewetter). It began in 1960 when the four students declined to move from the segregated lunch counter (Kronewetter). This took place in Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina (Kronewetter). The news of their bold action soon spread and soon student heads began to arrange for the next sit-in protest at the same lunch counter with more students (Kasher 66). Within weeks, the lunch counter sit-ins had…

What McGuire best shows is how this group has been neglected by history and how it has been “left in the footnotes of history.” McGuire states, “Georgia Gilmore and her club (MIA) from Nowhere, “represented more than the actual cash they contributed each week,” B.J. Simms insisted. He continues…
