Op-ed

Noor Rajab Jürgen Müller German III 02 February 2016 The “Fritz Ritz”: Camp Hearne Prisoner of War camps are a ghastly thing to think about. When mentioned, the horrors of Soviet and Nazi camps rush to mind, thoughtless massacres done by underlings for the “greater good”. Camp Hearne, however, is different. A Prisoner of War, or POW, camp now located in Hearne, Texas, Camp Hearne kept around 48,000 Nazi soldiers. The first shipment arrived in 1943 with prisoners from Hitler’s Afrika Korps. Camp…

Since I chose to work on a satire op-ed, I was very confused as to was to do and how to write remix the article. In class, Sam brought in a guest speaker to give us her advice when writing a spin of an article. Having her come in was very beneficial because I was able to better comprehend what it means to spin an article. In addition, I was able to better understand how to spin my own article, since we used my satire op-ed as an example. Having the whole class help me on a section…

I picked up this book because it was recommended to me as very funny and, having been a huge fan of The Chronicles of Narnia as a child, I wanted to read an example of C.S. Lewis's overt literary argument for Christianity. I thought I might find a Christian counterpoint to Twain's Letters from the Earth. I'm afraid I was somewhat disappointed. The Screwtape Letters is an epistolary novel with the central conceit being that C.S. Lewis has recovered letters of advice that a Demon from the depths…

“The Prison Problem” Known op-ed columnist and writer, David Brooks, in his essay, “The Prison Problem”, describes how this destructive era of mass incarceration came about. Brooks’ purpose of this essay is to insinuate how much the ‘prison world’ has changed from many years ago, to the society that we know of today. He creates a concrete tone in order to convey us readers to the idea of how the incarceration rates have skyrocketed since past decades. Brooks begins his essay by acknowledging…

Throughout the history, many lethal diseases ended civilizations such as the black death, which is believed to have killed as much as half of Europe in a span of only four years in the middle of the 14th century, from 1347 to 1351[1]. Unfortunately, at that time people did not have enough knowledge or technology to predict these lethal diseases or even treat them. Nowadays, due to the development in Biology, scientists are not only able to fight the current diseases, but also able to set…

Minimum wage was established in the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act, which is defined as the lowest payment that an employee can receive for labor. Throughout the years, it has been a highly controversial and debated topic among the U.S government and citizens. Minimum wage was originally intended to aid in reducing poverty and provide for a decent standard living. However, it has raised over the years as lifestyles became more expensive, resulting with several pressing issues. Raising minimum…

published by The Seattle Times, calls for marijuana to not be legalised. Barthwell and DuPont, believe that marijuana needs to not be legalised. That all the talk from baby boomers saying marijuana can’t be addictive, because it’s just an herb (“Op-ed: Don’t legalize marijuana. It’s addictive”), is false and can lead to high levels of addiction. They do a great job at showing how addicting marijuana can be and have all these statistics with some ways to backup the information, as well as…

Sometimes living at a certain community doesn’t make you a part of it. Part of the reason can be that one can be so isolated from it, it feels like one lives somewhere else. For example, I live in Riverdale, a quiet community in the Bronx. Not that I don't like the community, I feel like I live in a safe area, but nothing even remotely interesting seems to occur in the Dale. When I leave my apartment to catch the bus that takes me to college, I walk by a couple of newspaper racks and never even…
