 Census Return Questions: In 1940, the number of questions asked the public significantly increased. Some questions were expanded to elicit more detailed information, such as the names of persons which usually lived in the home who might not have been living there on the date of the census. The 1940 asked for more detailed place of birth information, the state, and county of citizens. It also provided an indication of who supplyed the information which could be very helpful to genealogists.…

Before I conducted my research on the topic of abortion I knew that it was a very debated issue that has been around for many years. I am also aware that abortion contrary to popular beliefs, is pretty common and that many American women have had one. Another thing I know about my topic is that women who go through with an abortion are under many risks. Those risks may cause medical and emotional complications like infection, heavy bleeding, guilt, depression, and eating disorders. My view on…

Straight-backed, uniformed wait staff crisscrossed the floor of City Hall’s ballroom. With silver trays held aloft, they glided effortlessly through the crowd, their blank expressions cleverly masking the tedium of serving champagne and hors d'oeuvres to equally bored guests. Dozens of white-clothed tables adorned with elaborate arrangements of hydrangeas and magnolias gave refuge to the honored attendees who were either too tired or too disinterested to mingle with the men and women gathered in…

Bodily Movement: The movement within the service was smoothly done. I will acknowledge that there was a great deal happening during the service that required movement. The children’s dance set the tone for the movement to come. I did appreciate that the Rev. Kletzing entered via the center aisle rather from somewhere in the back of the church. The passing of the peace is always a nice opportunity for the people to greet one another. I am of two minds though, is it a nice break for the…

The United States of America is the symbol of democracy and freedom in the world, although it may not be thoroughly right in some cases. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington D.C., the government and the authorities of the United States push harsher security screening for migrants and even citizens. This security screening is even harder for people from Muslim majority countries. Even with the stronger security screening, many other terrorist attacks occurred after…

The debate over whether or not abortion should be a legal option continues to divide Americans long after the US Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision on Roe v. Wade declared the procedure a “fundamental right" on Jan. 22, 1973. Proponents, identifying themselves as pro-choice, contend that choosing abortion is a woman's right that should not be limited by governmental or religious authority, and which outweighs any right claimed for an embryo or fetus. They say that pregnant women will resort to unsafe…

I’d visited Lewes once before. Bonfire Night, 2002, aged 4, ears stuffed with cotton wool and potential pyromania growing within. From that, one can understand my intrigue when it was described as “a genteel town” by David James Smith for The Sunday Times - quite the opposite to how I’d perceived it! I had to see it to believe it. I travelled by bus from the nearby city of Brighton and Hove, to enter Lewes like a local. Trying to look sophisticated, in the sea of briefcase gripping…

The difference between obsession and addiction is that an addiction provokes pleasure from a compulsive action. When an addict’s experience with a drug dulls, and the pleasure fades, what is it then? Narcotics Anonymous is an online forum dedicated to narcotic abusers who seek help escaping from their addiction. The forum hosts online anonymous rooms in which the members share their stories and seek help from the other members of the anon group. All the new members introduce themselves, then…

forward to royal bliss in Brazil with José de Silva Pereira, a man she bare-ly had the chance to know yet fall in love with. Despite that, she tries her best to become a suita-ble wife for José, and even begins to act like a proper woman of her time: knitting, cooking, and learning Portuguese, the primary language of Brazil. From her desperate want to mold herself into a perfect wife, one may see that she is not actually the dominant player in her relationships. The men whom Holly Golightly…
