I stabbed the threaded needle through the layers of velvet and patterned fabric, hissing and thinking nasty words as my fingers holding the fabric felt hot, blinding pain. Dropping the fabric and pricking the needle on top, I inspected the finger, glad to see that there was no blood despite the remaining throb of pain. I removed the needle and picked up the fabric, resuming my sewing. This time, I made sure that my fingers weren’t on the receiving side of the needle’s wickedly sharp tip.…

pleasure of men. The women offer little to the storyline except for their looks and sexual appeal. The woman walking down the streets of NYC is likely seen in the same fashion by the men catcalling her. The woman exists purely for them to look at, nevermind that there are other attributes to her besides her looks. As far as Mulvey’s research goes, she also claims that women act as a sort of opposite to the men; a delicate female as opposed to a strong male. The female makes the man look…

(Eva is standing on the balcony of the Casa Rosada to address the people of Argentina) Eva- My fellow workers, Today we abolish charity in Argentina.

before and after wearing the dress and that it would take a lot more than wearing a dress for her to understand her own self worth. The world that Maya group up made it devastatingly difficult to be successful if you were a woman, nevermind the fact that she was also African American. Momma dealt with racism by ignoring it and not letting herself be displaced, were on the other hand her son “Big Bailey” wore flashy clothing and drove fancy cars to show off how great he was. Each…

Although not a hit, it did alright. 1991 was a big year for Kurt Cobain with getting his next album “Nevermind” in 1991 to be the number one hit album that year. This was because of the unique sound and teenage appeal of Nirvana. He also met his future wife Courtney Love of the band “Hole” in 1991. Him and Courtney got married in 1992 and their child, Frances…

Over the last ten years I have had many influential leaders give me guidance and mentorship that directly affected my ability to be a strong Noncommissioned Officer. MSG Howard is one of those leaders that epitomizes my image of what an Army Leader is supposed to reflect. His superior ability to bring a team together and draw out their individual strengths has always driven me to mimic his example. MSG Howard challenged us to be the best and taught us how to expect the best from our Soldiers.…

Introduction A common question/theme within the mathematics department that keeps reappearing time and time again is, "when am I ever going to use this" or "when is this going to be useful to me". Even I can say that the same thoughts had crossed my mind when studying surds in year seven. This can be a frustrating sticking point for both students and teachers alike. Consequently more questions have arisen from this such as: are certain topics too abstract? Has the application of mathematics…

Looking through the eyes of Essie Mae, growing up as an African-American in the south was anything but easy. Within her household, she was relied on heavily from a very young age to contribute, as her father wasn’t the bread winning type. Essie Mae started to notice that she was viewed differently because of the color of her early in her life. It was very apparent that white people held control purely because they were white and could hold the fear of death over the heads of African-Americans.…

Everyone knows at least one stereotype. Whether it is that all Asians are smart, or that African Americans love Kentucky Fried Chicken, there are plenty out there that can be heard. The most popular is the American stereotype. We are the blondes, the rednecks, and the fat people. The list could go beyond that, but we’ll be narrow minded for now. Broad comes later. Anyway, other countries see our habits and judge us accordingly. A majority of the time; they are absolutely right. We are pretty…
