Regardless of the news station, television show, magazine, or person, anything that is expressed through human values will have bias. Principles such as politics, sports, and even certain parking spots can have bias opinions. Opinions, whether one likes them or not, are always worthwhile; however, once those opinions take away freedoms of others, they become irrelevant. Whether the opinion is coming from CNN, Sports Illustrated, or Duck Dynasty, that single opinion could sway someone from one…

In the debate over Affirmative Action, Liberals take their stand as an advocate for affirmative action. They believe that America needs to atone for the history of racism, cruelties and social discrimination towards African-Americans and other minorities. This is achieved through the preferential, or favoring, treatment of minorities. Conservatives do not believe in affirmative action. They believe that people should receive benefits based on ability rather than race. On the contrary,…

CLA101 – Assignment 1 Age On the north wall of Tomb of the Diver, we can see that some men have beards, while some do not. Some men have larger and more full beards than the rest of them. As said in the lecture, this signifies age in classical Greek art. On the right side of the painting, there are two men sitting on a bench. The man who is further right is an older man because of his beard. He is sitting with a younger man, presumable the youngest in the painting. This young man has no sign…

The period of Medieval Art has many sub categories, one of which is Byzantine art, which originally spawned from Greek and Roman styles. During the medieval times artworks such as paintings and sculptures in the round were no longer being created, so the arts of the time were often mosaics (on the interior walls of churches), manuscripts in richly decorated bibles and architecture. Mosaics, specifically, changed over this period. Transforming from the classical style of the Greeks and Romans,…

Journal Entry #7: Protecting the Interests of Minorities (p. 232) The world is full of controversy and tough choices. We love to fight for our freedoms, to say what we want and stand up for what is right. But there are a lot of times where there’s no clear right and wrong, and there are good, logical, reasonable people on each side of the argument that have just as much a right to defend their beliefs as you do. We tend to forget that, especially in such a bipartisan society full of politically…

Sofia lives in a small pink house in the corner between the police station and the park in Micanopy Florida. The home only had 1 window, which most people in the town would not mind, but Sofia did. This little town was inhabited by the fixators and the sophics. Fixators were the people that got zapped into their smart glasses. They do not need to look up or communicate because all they needed in their lives were through those lenses. The sophics were the cursed ones. They were the ones who got…

10 minutes to 11am when I reached I-81. 77 follows 81 west for a few miles then turns north into West Virginia. Surprised that I-81 was in good shape, considering the weather. Proceeding cautiously, due to the obvious black ice on the roadway. I turned north following I-77 further into West Virginia. I needed gas now, before going any further. I took the Princeton West Virginia exit. At the bottom of the exit was a semblance of a highway. Didn’t look like anybody had turned left from that…

On the 25th of October I attended Canterbury crown court. The proceeding I observed was a sentencing and named ‘Operation Hailstone’. I will firstly make an overall summary of what happened and then reflect and analyse on my experience by highlighting what surprised me, what didn’t, what I learnt and what the whole experience has done for me. Once I had been through security and was seated in my chosen court room the judge walked in and the judges clerk announced the charge on Anthony Baker,…

Small decisions can majorly impact your life. Small decisions like how you decided to do your hair will not impact your life as much as some other small decisions. For example, whom you sit with at lunch or what group of friends you hang out with can majorly impact how others think of you and what you will be like in the future. One small decision I made in the past involved having a goal for baseball. My goal was to hit the ball more than it hit me. It was the top of the 5th inning, the other…
