Date after date, going through her room. A huge list of appointments to serve for the day. Men going in and out, leaving their marks inside her. After conquering their needs, once again they feel like the champions, the owners, the bosses, the ones who have the power over almost everything. However, the reality is far from this erroneous idea that men like to believe. They seem to think that their power relies on their abilities to seduce and dominate but, what they do not seem to recognize, is…

In film, cars are seen as a form of…

Every new driver wonders when and how he or she will get his or her first traffic violation. I always contemplated different scenarios in my mind while driving. Would I run a stop sign? Would I be caught zooming past a police officer? Where and when would I get mine? I finally got all my questions answered Easter weekend of 2015. I remember the day as if it was yesterday, and the memory will be etched into my mind for the rest of my life. Traveling down highway 370, I was singing and just…

The topic of my paper is on immigration, more specifically the right to immigrate. In his paper, Michael Huemer presents the following argument; 1.

The Broken Windows Theory, first introduced in 1982, asserts that disorder and crime are connected and that disorder can negatively impact society, leading to a high incidence rate of crimes, both misdemeanors and felonies.
