The Downfalls of Daylight Saving Time Why do we have to do daylight saving time. The American states Hawaii and most of Arizona do not participate in daylight saving time. Losing an hour of sleep in the spring is not necessarily fun. Daylight saving time does more harm than good. On the monday after daylight saving time workers tend to cyberloaf. Daylight saving time is hard to adjust to and businesses are hurt by it. Studies in a lab showed that participants cyberloafed for more than 20% of…

using daylight savings time for years while other countries have stopped after WW2. In the articles“Pros & Cons: Daylight Savings time” by Proscons.org and the article “The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time” by David Prerau they state that daylight savings is both good and bad. Although some argue that the U.S should eliminate daylight savings, I believe that daylight savings should remain because of the reduced exposure to artificial light and the decreased risk of car…

naturalization administration spans more than 100 years (Our history, 2011). Laws passed in the 1880’s implemented three elements to our immigration policies: “(a) restrictions based on personal characteristics, (b) restrictions based on national origin, (c) protection of American labor” (Laque, 2010, p. 5). When the federal government took over immigration in 1891 the Office of Superintendent of Immigration was part of the Treasury Department (Our history, 2011). Through the years the Office of…

Women have always been vital when it comes to the role they play in American history. Women have held many different roles throughout history whether it is that of moving from their country to a new unknown land, to farming on their family farmland, to helping in the war effort. Their roles are ever-changing. Women have adapted in all areas of their life, from working together or complimentary with men during the time of the Native American (Evans8). Women quickly changed during the fur trade.…

Georgiana DiMola Ms. McEwan U.S. History 2111 19 September 2016 French and Indian War (Political, Economic, and Social Effects) The French and Indian War had a big impact on why the colonies became more unified as Americans and more driven away from Britain due to different political, economic and social factors after the war. The war affected them politically because throughout it the colonists were trying to head west to escape British control. Colonists realized that they needed their own…

The antitrust exemption has been around for decades and keeping it only allows for the further evolution of the game, using fans, agents, and certain laws to further how the game will be played in the future. First off, agents are being very influential in the decisions each player makes. They help make financial decisions for players to ensure their success in the league to stay preserved. They allow them to stay with the team the player may like for a little pay cut, to help fans keep the love…

mother country, England in this case, above all other concerns is something that would transfer from Privateering to trade regulations and embargoes in later history and is consistent with the attitudes of the time. It is no great leap in logic to say that the interest of Roanoke where not well served by its need to self fund its creation through state sponsored piracy. Relatedly, this interest in privateer base building necessitated inclusion of military men in the original Roanoke colonization…

Throughout the history of baseball, the baseball players and their owners have found themselves in many disputes over money and working conditions. For instance, at the beginning of 1876 baseball players found themselves at the beginning of what could be considered a monopoly; where the owner’s controlled baseball for a quarter of a century (Baseball, 2010). This was due to William Hulbert and other owner’s creation of the reserve clause. As a result of this clause, baseball player’s salaries…

On a calm day in May of 1718 the Queen Anne’s Revenge, a warship of forty guns, and three sloops appeared on the horizon off the coast of Charleston. Edward Teach, more famously known as Blackbeard, had arrived with his pirate fleet. Taking up a position outside the harbor, Blackbeard used surprise to his advantage and captured ten ships as they attempted to leave the harbor. One of those ships, The Crowley, was returning to London when it was waylaid by the famous pirate. Among the…

When reviewing the evolution of my worldview, Howard Zinn’s The Politics of History comes to mind. His book is a collection of case studies and essays that argue for a radical approach to the past. Zinn’s work changed the way I saw my purpose in life. I had originally planned to enter a field in science, despite my passion for history and the Humanities. In an age where the college degree had lost its traditional value, STEM fields seemed to me like the only practical route to success. However,…
