Paul Gallico

When I would go to the park, maybe initially they would be like, ‘She's a girl, she can't play.’ But then the next time, they were picking me first for their team. Let your actions speak for themselves. Don't worry about what everybody else is saying. Just concentrate on playing basketball and embrace being a woman and being in sports.” (TIME) Parker is a great role model for women who aspire to take part in women athletics. She’s broken glass ceilings in athletics and proved many, including Gallico, wrong. Towards the end of her response, she mentions to “embrace being a woman and being in sports.” This is meaningful, because while women’s basketball is trailing in popularity behind men’s, she reminds women to be proud of themselves in being in sports even as traditionalists attempt to tear them down. Gallico’s way of thinking also suggests that women are weak and that when they fail, they don’t face it with poise and composure. If anything, women are quite the opposite. They’ve fought years for women suffrage and are more empowered than ever. Our nation’s recent presidential election included a women candidate. And although Hillary Clinton lost, her concession speech was hopeful and instilled confidence in women. Clinton said, “And…

However, constant communication is never certain, and it is up every subordinate to be prepared to make on decisions on the spot in the mission. The United States army currently uses Mission Command, which is defined by ADRP 6-0 as the “exercise of authority and direction by…

The play “Julius Caesar” explained two men named Brutus and Antony who both presented speeches in front of their town with different meanings about the assassination of Caesar. Antony had to ask Brutus for permission to speak at Caesar’s funeral. His despairing emotion and speech drawed the crowds special attention. Antony speech does not show any praise of caesar but does show sympathy and memorable memories that caesar did for his town. This whole situation sums a complete catastrophe. If…

Any human society or civilization that comes into existence as a result of military victory takes part in exercises and acts that when assessed and looked into by the ethicists of modern times, might be considered genocide in modern definition. However, with this an important question arises, did these civilizations and societies considered these acts of war and genocides as a good things or contradicted to it, like the present time? It is observed that with the passing year, people have become…

The term micro expressions is labeled as a “very brief facial expressions, lasting only a fraction of a second” (Micro Expressions). In other words, micro expressions only exist in a blink of an eye that human couldn’t capture. Furthermore, human ways of interaction are deeply connected to emotions and function through a system of “social signals: facial expressions” (Jack,…

This technique was in efforts to develop and maintain flexibility in the spine and hips, specifically in a seated position. “Lamentation” was created in response to the…
