The Brookland-CUA Metro station on Monroe and 9th Street serves the neighborhood and the students of The Catholic University of America and could be considered the midway point…

difficult to diagnose. Furthermore, resolutions to address the organizational structure will often leave parties dissatisfied. For these reasons, UN reform is challenging to execute. The UN has not improved its structure, lingering in a primarily Quadrant I system. The Security…

For The Woman’s House By Faith Ringgold and Among Beautiful Ladies By Utagawa Kuniyoshi reveal that the idea that a woman is less important than a man is nothing more than a false social construct, unfortunately dating back centuries, yet still present in today's society.

Silent Domination Society is one of the most disastrous things man has ever created. It is as if its people were divided into four nations in an Avatar-esque fashion: fire, air, earth, and water. However, these elements correspond to what is the “north and south of temperament” or generally, the extrovert-introvert spectrum.
