creative destruction and globalization have transformed the labor force. Creative destruction, the replacement of jobs with newer ones as advancements in technology render the older ones obsolete, has combined with globalization to form an explosive molotov cocktail for the working class. Menial, but reliable jobs, particularly those found in the manufacturing sector, have been supplanted by both artificial intelligence and cheap foreign labor. These jobs were a safety net for decades for many…

Since the beginning, African Americans have played a major role in the composition of racial concepts. There are many aspects of African American history that affected the world as we view it today and understanding the history of this specific race will aid in understanding racial views and stigmas that arose from our history.

The truck slowed at Peninsular drive to check both ways, almost colliding with a pair hummers. The laser detachment was excited to see their platoon leader. "Where were you guys" the lieutenant asked? The sergeant in charge answered embarrassed "We were down at the beach,…

The Black Lives Matter movement (BLM) is one of good intentions, but a variety of flaws. The execution of BLM tends to be one that is counter-productive.

Native people have been protesting the construction of the North Dakota access pipeline for months now, with no end in site. The construction of this pipeline threatens not just native peoples…

Freedom Summer, just a mere 10 weeks of the summer of 1964, changed the world, just by changing Mississippi. Reconstruction ended and blacks were no longer slaves, but they continued to be oppressed. Mississippi was the state that kept blacks as slaves without the title. Mississippi had the lowest crime rate, supposedly, but most likely had the most murders of blacks in cold blood. The Mississippi Summer Project dived head first into the volatile violence, subjecting their volunteers to a unique…

Palestine is the Holy Land, though it doesn’t seem like it. For the past century, Palestinians and Israelis (Zionists) cannot seem to like each other or at least try not to kill each other. The hostility between these two “countries” is extremely controversial. The Palestinian revolts have been escalating and there have been two intifadas that have killed thousands of people; it is just a matter of time for the third one. With the way things are going it will likely happen sooner than later. The…
