Polarization

insurgent and revolutionary movements throughout the country in search of “democracy, liberty, and justice” (Womack 1999, 3-7). The poverty-stricken circumstances of Chiapas have led to hidden reasons for the sorrow and grief among the natives. Polarization of the nation has been led by years of governmental fraud, exploitation and nepotism (Suchlike 2000, 149). Approximately one-fifth of Mexico’s workforce is in agriculture (Barry1995, 15). Chiapas’s agriculture is: first in coffee production,…

The Iraq War and how it has affected the Middle East Globalization is a force that affects almost every person on the planet in one way or another; weather it’s through trade and diplomacy or through cultural exchanges. Iraq has experienced a large increase in the amount of attention it has been receiving in past years as it struggles out of one war into another conflict. This attention has increased the amount of interaction Iraq has with the rest of the world and these interactions have left…

The most recent election has shown how 24/7 news coverage can affect our political elections. News articles and coverage on the election have dominated the American media for the last 12 months with headlines supporting and slamming candidates on both sides of the political spectrum. The New Yorker published a piece by staff writer Elizabeth Kolbert titled “How Can Americans Trust Donald Trump” on November 3rd, a few days before the general election. The New Yorker is known for it’s left leaning…

One of Italy’s most prominent dilemmas in an increasingly globalizing world is how they will combat the increasing number of immigrants that are coming into their country. Until recently, Italy’s contribution to world migratory patterns had to do with their contribution to emigration, as millions left to travel to the United States throughout the early parts of the 20th century. However, currently Italy is going through somewhat of a crisis on how to deal with the immigration influx occurring…

Social Psychology amongst Cheerleaders For this paper, I chose to evaluate my high school’s cheerleading team for concepts that were taught in Social Psychology. I was a member of this team for my junior year of high school- 2012 to 2013. I was a first-year varsity cheerleader, and it was my second year attending this school. This team was almost entirely composed of student dancers with teammates ranging from fourteen years old to eighteen year olds. I was the only non- freshman who had not…

Booker T. Washington and W. E. B DuBois used different strategies when dealing with the problems faced by African Americans at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Segregation was a big problem during this time and African Americans were the ones facing the brunt of this issue. Both Washington and DuBois tried to fight for equality of African Americans and were in hopes that their actions, as well as programs, would help aid society toward agreeing with them.…

The Author, Alan Paton, is a dedicated and opinionated Christian, linking his writing to his beliefs. Since he was born, he has been a Catholic, giving him a deep religious background. Because of his deep Catholic background and what he’s done because of it, Bishop Clayton named him a member of a diocesan commission appointed ‘to discover what it believed to be ‘the mind of South Africa””(Callan, 35). He also developed a strong conscience because of his theological virtuesd. “Because I am…

In 1994, in Rwanda, the mass killings of 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutus occurred. The killings were carried out by the Hutus, due to the tensions that rose between the two groups when the country gained its independence in the 1960s and the Belgians openly favoring the Tutsi. The mass killings that occurred should be considered as a genocide because it fits with the definition of genocide as it was the destruction of a whole/part of a specific group of people and the deliberate killing of a…

We live in a time of great confusion and debate. While some loudly proclaim climate change a hoax, others just as strongly say it’s real. In the twentieth century scientists hypothesized that fats were bad for the body, while now they say the body requires some fats to stay healthy. How can we know if what is considered safe today won’t be dangerous in the future? In the article “Why Do Many Reasonable People Doubt Science,” Joel Achenbach states that the American public doubts and has an…

Muscular System The human body is composed of 640 to 850 muscles each having a different function in helping the muscular system operate. The main function of the muscular system is movement. Muscles help provide strength, endurance, and help to keep the body warm. Muscles help keep the body warm by continuously pumping blood out of the heart and by body movement. There are three main categories of muscles in the human body: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth (non-striated) muscles. One…
