Kids spend an average of 3.5 hours doing homework every night in high school. Homework is a very controversial issue, because of these long nights and stress-related symptoms caused by the work. Homework has been around for a long time, and most people despise it. Over the years homework has been given more and more frequently. They just want it to stop. Kids plead for the menacing plague also called homework to stop coming to them. Parents say their child isn’t getting to enjoy their life. But…

it. In his argument with jones he had paid no attention to the white scenery around him that was slowly filling up with black profiles. Over a hundred of them had surrounded Underhill, his children and jones. They all possessed hungry eyes, eyes of vampires. Jones grinned, and as he did the figures came closer, watching as Underhill spun around to take in the view. “You didn’t think I spent all that time watching your house because I wanted proof?” he scoffed, “No. I spent my time seeking…

The movie 13 Days is about the Cuban Missile Crisis that occurred during October 1962. The movie shows how John F. Kennedy and his advisers tried to negotiate with the Soviet Union to take their missiles out of Cuba. The United States first saw what looked like missiles with a U-2 spy drone on October, 16. Kennedy’s advisers had many different ideas for him to take the treat out. The Joint Chief of Staff wanted Kennedy to invade Cuba and destroy it with air strikes. Kennedy did not want to…

Pay Servers A Livable Wage The U.S.'s minimum tipped wage has been frozen since 1991. The minimum wage for non-tipped employees has almost doubled, during the same time. This is a good reason for a wage increase. I have never been a server myself, because of the federal tipped minimum wage. The hourly rate you get paid, is assuming that you can make a living with the tips you get instead of the hourly wage. What if, you don't get tipped enough? You would either have to take a second job or…

In Talent is Overrated, Geoff Colvin claims that many who are world-class performers go through an extensive specific type of work that is designed to improve their performance. Colvin backs this claim up by explaining and demonstrating the results of deliberate practice through numerous examples of experiments and papers performed and written by experts and authors. Colvin’s purpose is to answer people’s curiosities on how to achieve great success in order to demonstrate that great performance…

According to Merriam-Webster, Puppetry is the skill or activity of using puppets in performances. Not many peoples first thoughts when they hear of plays in the area think of puppetry, but it happens to be one of the oldest forms of art and is also still practiced around the world. In my opinion I would not want to sit in a theatre and watch a bunch of puppets because my first though of puppets are people holding things over there hands or people hidden behind a curtain with only the puppet…

In C. Vann Woodward’s book, The Strange Career of Jim Crow, Woodward talks about the “Twilight Zone” which was the period of myths. Woodward was the first Historian to write about race relations in the time period between 1860 and 1965. Woodward’s purpose of writing this book was to show that segregation even by law has always been prevalent, and to “make the attempt to relate to the origins and development of Jim Crowism to the bewildering rapid changes that have occurred in race relations”…

of Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, which has garnered a huge following and spawned an allegedly new designation for racial inequity in the United States. However, while I do agree with Alexander that there is a humongous issue with mass incarceration in the United States, I believe that Alexander’s work promotes a false understanding of mass incarceration in the United States. My objection to the Jim Crow analogy is based on what it…

people that are living in prison each and every today in America. It is hard to imagine that prisons hold so much of our nation population. There many individuals that remains fatherless, Motherless, because of mass incarceration. In the Book “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander feels that mass incarceration has created more problems within itself. I truly agree with Alexander, The Social Justice community thinks that they are helping the nation, but in reality they are destroying it, by…
