There were many significant labor strikes through the history of strikes in the United States. I chose the Textile Mill Strike of 1934; This strike particularly intrigued me because the Unions and labor laws were in their infancy stage and made a lot of mistakes along the way. This strike involved politicians, laws, and even touched the President at the time personally. This strike also affected the Northeastern part of the United States which is where we reside. First let us start with a…

It is a competition where you get to go head to against schools around the state! Now, what I’m passing out is a test to see if you’re mega math material!” This was a dream come true to me. I loved math. It was my favorite subject and I carried all of its grades like a baby. “Alright kids, you can do the…

On Friday 24th October 2014, I went to see Frantic Assembly’s version of William Shakespeare’s ‘Othello’, directed by Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett. Frantic Assembly are a theatre company whose performances are primarily dominated by their unusual use of physical theatre to express emotions of characters and uncover hidden meanings within the play through the use of movement. The play was performed to an audience of mostly young adults and teenagers, perhaps because it had been…

obs could not be the Steve Jobs we know if he is born in 1855 vs. 1955. In the 1950’s, America is remembered as “Happy Days”, which has as much or more to do with a television show with that title. The show itself did not air until 1974 and portrayed the carefree, simple times through the high school characters' antics. The memory for most Americans of that generation was idyllic and reinforced further by shows such as “Leave it to Beaver”, and “Father knows Best”. The facade of peace and…

young, talented poets who (except for Sassoon) died in the prime of life, just like thousands of other soldiers—the main subjects of their poetry—so 'ungloriously' did. Theirs were the protests thousands of men have wanted to express; they protested against the futility of war. They were 'boys' in their twenties, but still they produced poetry of a quality rarely seen in more mature poets. They felt it was their duty to report what they saw, to inform the rest of the world about what was…

Theories which attempt to explain morality based on the purpose of human life and the defining characteristics of what should be considered a “good” life date all the way back to Ancient Greece. Aristotle, was one of the most famous writers of ancient times to discuss morality and ethics. As a philosopher, Aristotle believed that if a purpose was fulfilled than it was ‘good’. This is the basis of natural law in ethical beliefs and also implies that everything has a purpose in life and actions…

is by searching for the right key among thousands of other keys that are stashed in this dungeon, which would unlock the door and he would be free. "Oi" someone shouted furiously, I turned around only to find two men charging at me with huge ak47 machine guns. I began to panic intensively, my whole body went into some sort of shock as those men charging at me came closer and closer. I began to in the space of two seconds reflect on my life as I thought this was the end of me and, that, this was…

comfort in the position allowed, and sleep is quite impossible except in very short snatches” (996). In 2016, nothing changed for the better in this regard; CNN recently published an article about the disruptive passengers in flights and incidents of air rage in airplanes (McKirdy). What did change significantly is what comes before boarding the airplane. It has been 15 years since that horrifying day in September 2001. The day the twin towers in New York were attacked by civil airplanes,…
