positive – stressing the quiet” (178). The quiet refers to the promises of grandeur and victory to the enlistees. Instead of quiet, in the barbed wire fencing mission, all sorts of noise and scents assaulted the troops, from guns to smoke, bombs and jeeps. At night, shells bombarded them. Slowly realizing that they are not in the Front to fight and win but to delay the Alliance’s impending victory, the soldiers understand why their lives are expendable. Around them, the noise is deafening: “The…

Introduction There seems to be no small amount of literature on how Native Americans are represented in our popular culture. Over the past several decades, Native Americans have been mythologized in films, TV, and other forms of popular media. And, “For the most part, the white man’s visual expressions of Native peoples have been dominant” (Boehme, et al. 1998:75). It is these depictions that have created a false impression of American Indians. As anyone could guess, the conquest of…

"Is Brian Ballard here?" With confused looks my history class searched each other for a response. Slowly I raised my hand, "Do you mean Brityn?" The Sub squinted down at the role sheet. "Ummm yes". Butchering my name once again, "yes Britney. Is that you?" Yep. Im here. You know how it goes. If you had a nickel for every time this or that happened to you, you would be rich. Well if I had a penny for every time I had to correct a stranger of my name. No not Brit-ney, it's pronounced Brit-tin. I…

Navistar International Corporation is currently America's largest manufacturer of medium and heavy-duty diesel trucks. Until 1986, Navistar was known as International International Harvester, a leading manufacturer of agricultural and construction machinery, with 47 manufacturing plants. Years of dramatic financial losses, however, forced the company to sell off these primary businesses to focus on the production of diesel trucks, a move that necessitated the layoff of thousands of workers and…

“Imperialism” stems from the Latin root word imperium, literally meaning supreme power. Throughout history, all imperialistic pursuits required the establishment of a “supreme power,” overturning the balance of power, giving one group of people greater authority. As a result, social checks and balances are disrupted, leading to exploitation of the colonized, yet the public is often unaware, falling victim to a socially induced misperception of social life. This misperception is termed “false…

Colossal winds rushed against the house, causing the walls and floors to creak. Water rushed and hammered on the windows, resounding the fact that it was monsoon season in the Philippines. However, I was worried about college starting and whether I would like it or not because it was something so new that I wasn’t accustomed to. I was more worried about college than the roaring of the storm outside my window. “Take this,” my grandmother whispered, interrupting my thoughts. She passed me a…

thoughts of sympathy or melancholy. Since I had moved out as soon as I was old enough to, there really wasn’t anything left behind. As soon as I reached the foyer at the front of the house, I reached for my keys. Pressing the button, a black matte jeep SRT8 beeped at me. Opening the door and sliding inside, I saw that mother was standing out in the doorway of her balcony, a small smile playing on her lips from the corner of my eye. I pulled out of the driveway and onto the streets leading to…

What are Thanatos and Eros, are they the Greek Gods of death and love in mythology? Are they a symbol representing a hidden culture, are they theories? I wondered the same thing myself as I discovered these foils. These contrasting words are actually two theories created by a man known as Sigmund Freud but who is this man you might ask?
