write “The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security... and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction... [will be] the ruins of public liberty.” Washington’s words proved prophetic, and as they say, the rest is history. Today however, September 19th 2035, the din and tyranny of the factions has at last ceased. Today, the senate voted for a bill banning political parties. This bill, once considered a chimerical illusion of the elite, has…

There were a few reasons the north and the south viewed the issue of slavery so differently. The first was political differences. With the two politicians having different opinion, the debate between Lincoln and Douglas was a huge factor between north and south. Lincoln held that slavery was a moral wrong. Lincoln, himself, had slaves but he was very determined to try to free the slaves. Lincoln was the underdog in the senate race. Lincoln did not want the union to break apart but he did…

The module of “Origins of Life” contains conflict in the form of ideas, perceptions, and credibility. For example, in the world of science and religion, there has been this common notion that these two entities cannot support the ideas that each community holds. At times these ideas that the other opposition holds may seem outrageous such as the time when Galileo supported the fact that the heliocentric universe made more sense than the geocentric universe to the Grand Duchess Christina. In the…

“To me, you have to declare yourself a Chicano to be a Chicano. That makes a Chicano a Mexican-American with a defiant political attitude that centers on his or her right to self-definition. I 'm a Chicano because I say I am” (Marin). A Chicano may be defined as a person of Mexican origin residing in the United States, but mostly someone who is politically active. For many years, the Mexican-Americans have been highly discriminated throughout the United States, but mostly in the southwest area.…

The first kind of old soldiers mostly enjoy tranquil lives now, with abundant pension and supplement every month. But the later kind of veterans now mostly live with poverty and solitary because of their “taints”of once being the enemy army. They don’t obtain basic supplement, and for most of occasions during my interview, they even cannot offer their heating fee in the winter. Two old citizens just curl up on the bed silently because of famine. I was again and again paralyzed and vexed…

When James Madison outlines the dangers of faction in Federalist No. 10, he defines faction as “a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or minority of the whole, who are united...by some common...interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens.” 1 This wording is critical for examining both the goals and pivotal ideas of the federalist movement. At first glance, this definition seems to reflect the very real fear of mob uprising. Certainly, it’s tone insinuates an image of mob…

of money and military exigencies (a Scottish Presbyterian army) had required him to call Parliament back into assembly in order to pay off the army. The Parliament called for him to answer for his violation of their rights in several incidents, to which he replied by attacking with some soldiers. However, the assault failed and Parliament assembled an army. While Charles I had the support his nobles and could field a well-trained army, he was unable to match the resources of Parliament, who…

Standardizing the visual language has always proved to be a challenge amongst all kinds of artists especially filmmakers. This, in turn, has spawned a collection of individualistic visual expressions in respect to every different director and filmmaker. Through the visualisation of elements within both our daily lives and those of imaginative scapes, the audience are subsequently exposed to an array of overt influences that minutely alter their subconscious mindsets. These messages and symbols,…

The first thing in the morning is to prepare an outfit for the day. Generally when I am getting dressed I think about the weather, what classes I have to attend, and how I am feeling in general. If I am a bit down and just want to be left alone, I will wear black so I don’t stick out, but I still look like I tried to get dressed and look presentable. If I am in a good, happy mood, then I will go with a lighter color such as blue or orange. When getting dressed in the morning, have you ever…
