issue, when it is framed by conglomerate corporations that provoke an economic and political agenda in their favor. The powerful impact corporations have on public knowledge is exemplified in Al Gore 's essay “The Climate Emergency”, as well as in Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway…

Environmental issues have been the talk of the town by many public figures recently, but it does not always seem to “stick” in the minds of the viewers. Both Pope Francis and Naomi Klein discuss the topic in great detail, but take different approaches in convincing their readers. Klein seems to evokes a great deal of negativity in her book, to the point where it questions the reader’s own actions and almost makes them feel that they are partially to blame for the current state of Earth. Pope…

In “The Beauty Myth”, Naomi Wolf describes this myth as “prescribing behavior and not appearance” (Wolf 14). Women try to attain a look that is unattainable and because they are trying so hard to be skinny and attractive, they are distracted from the real problem. The real problem…

Naomi Klein argues that what happened in Iraq, and is part of a broader trend globally, is in many ways the opposite of economic and human development. Explain what she means, provide examples from Iraq, and argue EITHER in support of her analysis, or against her analysis. The argument presented by Naomi Klein in her work, “The Shock Doctrine” is that the privatization of the government in the form of disaster capitalism, as seen after the Invasion of Iraq, is counter to economic growth and…

more jumps I ride without anything to hold me on, except for the power in my legs and my knowledge of good positioning. With a hasty move to the right from the bull none of that mattered because abruptly I was underneath the bull. With the name Bill Nye the Science Guy, this bull was bound to do some unconventional things. He stepped on…

an example would be illustrative of China’s “soft power,” to tailor a situation so that both countries can gain. Nye describes “hard power” as a push and “soft power” as a pull, with smart power existing as a combination of both (Nye 46-47). Powerful actors use relational power for agenda setting, in order to set the cards in their favor, by making other actors want what they want (Nye 47). Mutual interests can transcend all other barriers, enabling cooperation between…

Mark Updegrove, Bethany Albertson, and Michael Stoff took the stage at Bass Concert Hall to provide freshman knowledge on voting, anxiety in politics…

introduction into medicine came at an early age. My entire family line, including my parents, are all nurses and doctors. I have been inspired to take the medical route since I was a child. The most I knew about science was from the Magic School Bus and Bill Nye the science guy. Even though I knew little about that subject other than being surrounded by scrub suits all the time, I couldn’t see myself pursuing any other field than medicine. It wasn’t until high school that I gained a serious…

The Kit-Kat Katostrophe Wafers… in milk chocolate. In rows. Break time. Anytime. Break time anytime. BREAK time ANYTIME. Some people don’t get this. Something in their cerebral cortex is wrong, and they do it all wrong. There comes a time when Kit-Kats must be eaten properly, in order to achieve world peace. Sure, we can stop fighting, and ISIS could stop breaking religious monuments, and we could actually like each other but that’s boring. What really matters is eating Kit-Kats properly. You…
