On Liberty

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness these are the principles that founded this great country. This can be seen all throughout the early ages of America from the Declaration of independence to the Crisis by Thomas Paine, to the speech in the Virginia convention. Many principles of which America was built upon appear in one of if not the most important documents written in American History. The Declaration of independence, like stated before literally, states all of the principles on…

Lumières Revolutions “Give me Liberty, or Give me death!” cried out the British American colonists on the eve of their independence movement. Yet, the tale of liberty does not begin with the cannons sounding the American Revolution, instead, the story begins with a quill and ink pad in France. In particular, the idea of the social contract, where the power of kings rested solely on the social acceptance of the populace, inspired Americans to clamor for reform against the imposing British crown.…

The story of Galio, the colossus sentinel started a long time ago. Back before Demacia existed, lone bands of refugees wandered across the lands, searching for a home and protection against the dark mages. Finally, they came upon an ancient forest, where the wood of the trees was instilled with anti magic capabilities. And the refugees all agreed this would be their new home. So they started a city, and they called it Demacia. They used the trees and combined them with ash and lime to…

NYU’s main campus is located in one of the greatest cities in the world: New York City. Having lived on Long Island for most of my life I haven’t been one to spend as much time in the city as I would have liked. However, the few trips I made to the city were always an adventure. I was dazzled by the “city that never sleeps”; it was always lit up and always moving. Everything about it was enticing; and I knew one day I would live there. The real reason why I’ve chosen the New York campus is…

The belief that freedom is worth having regardless of it including the freedom to make mistakes, is a misunderstanding in the lives of numerous people. The entire point of having freedom is to explore, discover, and learn something new by going beyond one’s own limitations. Additionally, whenever one attempts something he/she has never done before, he/she will usually make a mistake. However, he/she learns from that mistake and can utilize this new information to aid him/her in the future.…

Thank you for choosing our school to select three artifacts for a time capsule that will be taken to Mars on the next space mission. Each student has selected their three items, and we are ecstatic! We have each chosen two things that mean a lot to us, and one thing that we think would benefit and/or inform further generations. I can't wait to explain the artifacts I chose and why I'm wanting to put them into the time capsule! One of the first items I would like to put into the time…

crept outside into the winter air that was as cold yet placid, and began to walk to the harbor. Walking along the main street that lead straight to where the Sons of Liberty, and my Pa, were gathering before going to the harbor. The location was unknown to anyone outside of the Sons of Liberty, but Pa had spoken to a fellow Son of Liberty and I just happened to hear every word, including the location of the meeting. It wasn’t until I spotted a redcoat when I realized that the redcoats would for…

A week ago with my transition to Kean class I went on a visit to Liberty Hall Museum; this museum has been made a historical landmark of Union in hopes to continue to inspire and people to turn dreams into reality. Liberty Hall Museum has been the home to a very influential governor of New Jersey and later bought into the Kean family. When touring the museum the architecture immediately caught my attention. The beautiful hardwood floors were the first thing that I noticed as they squeaked louder…
