the art of writing a screenplay. After dinner, we walk to the beach. “You seem different here.” he says, “Happier than in Berkeley.” “I am. It’s familiar territory. When I was a teenager I’d watch the surfing championships on television held in Huntington Beach. I dreamed of moving to Los Angeles one day. At the time, I had no idea…

Economic Inequality Economic inequality is a growing issue on a global scale with many believing that it is part of the world we live in and there is nothing that can be done to solve it. In fact, there are many different contributors to economic inequality that can be solved individually to reduce its overall impact. Economic inequality is the difference between the rich and poor and has been an issue for quite some time. An economic balance must be found as a large wealth gap can hinder long…

(US Census Bureau 31). According to a summary of the US population as at 2009, 60% are white, 16% Hispanic or Latino origin, 5% Asian, 13% African-American, 5.8% American Indian, and 0.2% Native Hawaiian (The US Census Bureau 13). For instance, Huntington notes that Hispanics had become part of the American society by the middle of the nineteenth century, even as their numbers continued to soar (221). Bringing these people together has been instrumental in shaping the identity and influencing…

Throughout my life I have not experienced a life with diversity. Growing up in Loveland, Ohio I have only found a life full of middle class white families. Loveland demographics show ninety-four percent of the population are white while only two percent are African American. The makeup of a city can skew the lifestyle of an individual growing up and force him or her to change the way they view a race, religion, or other characteristic. Today, I find myself with a bias against non-caucasians.…

Since professionals now know what these contact sports can cause they are making changes to the…

Imagine a world where licenses were nothing but a plastic card. A day where permits and licenses are no longer needed. This new age has come faster than most people expected because driverless cars are here. People thought “Transformers” was just a movie but now, can it be a reality? Although not all cars will be controlled by itself, driverless vehicles will be both autonomous and man powered, they will soon advance to where they are completely autonomous.The day of man-powered vehicles is…

This is not surprising given that the Anglo-Saxon founded early American colonies. This latter view finds proponents all the way from the Ku Klux Klan that wants to keep America “white” to the argued theses of Samuel Huntington in which proclaims that the vital necessity of retaining the essentials of our English inherited founding political culture system essential to the sound functioning of the United States. Indeed, some American Nativists still interpret Northern…

maintenance hopefully Morgantown can improve travel on their infamous roads. We are not the only city in West Virginia to enact fees to pay for roads. Charleston has had a $1.50 user fee since 2003 with plans to increase the fee to three dollars by 2020. Huntington also maintains a city user fee of two dollars a week. Though the fee itself is not uncommon, circumstances unique to Morgantown make it particularly unfair and ineffective at raising funds from those who use city…

Constructivist Approach to Climate Change Realism has been the prevailing international relations (IR) theory since the Second World War (Sens & Stoett, 2010). Bennett Rambery, George Kennan, Hans Morgenthau, Henry Kissinger, and Samuel Huntington are just some of the prominent realists that swayed U.S. foreign policy during the recent era. However, state-centric realism seems to come short in explaining the fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of non-state threats, e.g., al Qaeda, (Snyder,…

cost of a stethoscope does not change my action. With respect to worrying about debt, there are likely other tradeoffs I can make in my personal life to avoid a stethoscope. I would rather go with that route. While some may have the personal integrity to not be influenced by receiving a stethoscope, I prefer not to put myself in that position in the first place. While the taking the stethoscope seems somewhat unsavory, I do not see an issue with listening to the lecture. Taking the opportunity…
