When one hears the name Shakespeare, what comes to mind? A playwright and a poet, love or death? Possibly both. That timeless tale of star-crossed lovers, Rome and Juliet. Shakespeare might be dead, but his stories and characters are still very much alive. “Shakespeare, after all, has long enjoyed more prestige than any other English–language author” (Evans). One of Shakespeare’s most widely known Plays, Othello has been remade into movies, and some T.V shows have even taken to borrowing similar…

The senate as a possible remedy can, impeach the president. The constitution in Article 1 section 3 states: “The Senate will have the sole Power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or Affirmation. When the president of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no person hall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present” (pg. I). The president is almost done with his term, but they can impeach him for…

The college admissions process is a difficult path to navigate. Between transcripts and letters of recommendations, there are several aspects one needs to be educated about. I believe that race/ethnicity should not be one of the variables that undergraduate and graduate schools use in making admissions decisions. Although white, non-Hispanic males make more on average compared to any other race with a bachelor’s degree (O’Brien 64), which then could lead to higher donating to the school’s…

Just recently, a chief banned a woman from participating in an election nomination because she wore trousers. Swaziland is Africa’s last absolute monarch, and though its king, Mswati III, believes a chief should be respected, he has yet to condemn the outlawing of pants.” (Dobreva,2015)This demonstrates how women can’t wear pants because it is a local tradition. A chief/king didn’t allow a woman to participate in a nomination because she was wearing trousers which they are like pants. If a woman…

President Obama to choose his successor. While the Republican party is insisting that a Justice is not chosen until after the next Presidential election, President Obama is determined to fill the position in the next few weeks despite the threats of his nomination being declined. At this time I believe that the best possible candidate to fill the position would be Srikanth Srinivasan. To begin, we should first take a look at what President Obama has stated he is searching for in the next…

Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative political activist and a devout Catholic, who was involved in mobilizing women against the Equal Rights Amendment, passed away at the age of 92 at her home in St. Louis, Missouri. She was a vocal anti-feminist, who famously told Newsweek in 1979 that feminism "has caused a lot of women to have low self-esteem, to convince themselves [that they] are repressed." Her political activism helped steer the Republican Party to broadly adopt many of the conservative…

"Trump clearly is very much an isolationist when it comes to trade, which obviously is the most important issue we have with the U.S," said Donald Abelson, a political science professor at Western University and director of The Canada-U.S. Institute. "If you do buy into the bravado and do buy into the policy pronouncements, it's all going to be about 'America first' and everyone else second and what kind of ripple effect does that have on us." A Trump presidency "would certainly have a huge…
