Since the beginning of history, art has been used as a way to express the feelings a nation faces during one of society’s biggest tragedies: war. When the city of Guernica in Spain was mercilessly bombed by the Luftwaffe, Pablo Picasso began working on his painting titled Guernica to show the Spaniard’s disdain for the war. Similarly, Bernie Boston captured his photograph titled Flower Power during a protest for the Vietnam War. These two works of art share many differences, both obvious and…

translates into public policy. This idea of implicit bias was further supported by the second discussion we had that day by Professor Drakulich who discussed his research on the Rhode Island Traffic Stop Data Collection and Analysis Project. In this project, they surveyed who was being stopped for traffic violations in Rhode Island. The results were that African Americans were being pulled over and given citations a lot more than their Caucasian counterparts. This supports the whole idea of…

Suleiman the Magnificent What was Suleiman the Magnificent’s greatest accomplishment and how did it impact the Ottoman Empire? In 1494, a baby boy was born in Trabzon, Turkey, to Sultan Selim I as the only surviving heir, with little knowledge of, when he came to the throne in 1520, his great destiny.

In the colonial times of the early 17th century, on the plantations, both black and white laborers…

In my opinion, the disability community has two significant issues that it is facing. The first, is the lack of policies and laws for insurance companies. Insurance companies are able to deny treatments that doctors see fit for their patients. Many doctors are finding more and more of their time being spent with patients fighting insurances trying to get the patient the treatment they so desperately need, rather than treating the patient. The second issue, is policy makers tend to forget about…

, I believe that the type of attitude the colonist of the settlers held when they left their homes and everything they knew to encounter diseases, starvation and the possible loss of life throughout the voyage to the New World, in hope of creating a better life. Colonist gradually began to create and populate towns and cities, and the southern colonies formed into separate regions from northern colonies. There were numerous causes for this separation, such as different climates, encounters with…

The American Revolution is now over and the colonists are free to run their land by their own rules. The Sons of Liberty and everyone else in the country now have the dawning task of forming a unified and rational country. In order to achieve this goal of this new nation they were going to need rules to govern their states by. Therefore in November 1777, they held the very first national constitutional convention to discuss issues as such. The results from the meeting seemed to be lucrative…

Public Sector LGBT Anti-Discrimination Policies Every day, society is changing its outlook on various social issues. Throughout the years, this would mean learning about slavery and desegregation of blacks and whites in the education system in the United States. Now, and onwards to the future, students will be studying the trials and tribulations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered – the acronym LGBT – that these people have faced over the years. Ironically, as do many blacks, LGBT…
