Beginning in 1958 and continuing until about 1968, the United States was experiencing a social movement aimed at ending the racial segregation and discrimination of blacks known as the Civil Rights Movement. Influential black Americans such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcom X, just to name a few, began to stand up for and fight for the rights of blacks in American, and their struggle and often deaths shows just how severe this issue was. Much of the country’s attention was…

Why would an author or in this case a cartoonist write/draw himself into the story? The use of self-insertion adds to the effectiveness of the writer and in this instance, Art Spiegelman uses the concept of self-insertion to effectively tell the story of the Holocaust and tell the story with a post-memory twist. Primarily, the use of self-insertion creates a sense of ethos with the audience. Rather than acting as a regular character, the cartoonist sits in for the reader herself. Acting as a…

With the thousands of homeless people cooped up in the temporary camp, they would not have a place to use the restroom, or to take care of hygiene needs. With thousands of people cooped up, it is very likely for a disease or illness to spread rapidly. All of the people being cooped up in a small area would eventually affect the air condition in the surrounding area…

girls have already been taken advantage of, including a 9-year-old, 11-year-old, 12-year-old, multiple 13-year-olds, 16-year-old, and many others. Some especially perverted men have even taken pictures and videos of women and young ladies in the restrooms.…

“anatomical sex" in a ridiculous attempt to make sure every student is using the bathroom that God intended. The bill; simply called House Bill 663, would stipulate that, “Local school boards shall develop and implement policies that require every school restroom, locker room, or shower room that is designated for use by a specific gender to solely be used by individuals whose anatomical sex matches such gender designation,”…

Racism is when you dislike and are prejudice to someone due to their race. Racism is discrimination on someone for their race, religion, skin color, and ethics. By judging someone by their stereotype, you are being racist towards that person. To some people, they believe that racism is when you think one race is superior and better than another race. “Mills has a lot of Asian students.” This statement is not racist as some may think. Instead, this sentence is pointing out the statistic of the…

once was a kid named Conner Morse he never really had much luck during school. One day he slipped in the cafeteria and got covered in lots of gravy noodles and cottage cheese. He had to go clean off the food and he accidently went in the female’s restroom. So called his mom to get a change of clothes and she brought a unicorn shirt, princess socks, and rainbow sweatpants. Conner got pissed that he had to wear this, so he went through the rest of the day getting laughed at. On his walk home he…

Since African Americans were granted their “freedom” in 1863, they’ve had to continue to fight for personal freedoms that seemed basic, such as the right to vote, or even to get simple service at a restaurant. Organizations such as the SNCC and the Black Panthers protested non stop until they achieved the equality they deserved. These protests were usually nonviolent, simple rallies and sit ins were usually held to get their points across. These acts of protest for equality were sometimes met…

transgender is also Identified as a civil right issues. I believe that people in the United States are struggling with the fourteenth amendment. A couple months ago I remember president Obama directs public schools to allow transgender access to restroom. Unfortunately a lot of people did not support that. Public school parents were upset because they did not feel comfortable having their children sharing bathroom with transgender student. Since president Obama is leaving the office next month…

An event that had a huge impact on me was immigrating to the United States. This was a life changing event because I was going to a foreign land that I had no relation to. I was born in a refugee camp with a half a million people of closely related culture, language, and beliefs. Daily life in the camp revolved around gathering the necessities to go by each day. One either worked to find what he needed or stole from others. The camp did not provide many opportunities for people. I, a seven year…
