painful realization of the implications of her sexual identity (Higson & Mullan, 2002). She has the opportunity to escape for good, but the young man who offers her a ride makes a remark about how she must be from “in there”, referring to the Magdalene Asylum, and says that they must be taking in “loonies” now (Higson & Mullan, 2002).

because if they are fleeing economic insecurity then they are economic refugees (9). The third piece of evidence is that if undocumented immigrants refugee status then they deserve the compassion and benefits of the Universal declaration of human rights (9). The third reason Lakoff and Ferguson discuss in their work is that the “undocumented worker frame” is dehumanizing. They use the evidence that the word worker implies that “undocumented workers” are only there to work. Something about how…

“Runaway Train” by Soul Asylum The song “Runaway Train” by Soul Asylum describes Holden’s journey through New York and what he is thinking. For instance, Holden talks about going away for a long time when he says, “I’d start hitchhiking my way out West…. And live there the rest of my life” (Salinger 198-9).

Others, like the system of police repression which I call the ‘Glasgow system’, were developed as a reaction to the Acts.” Glasgow system not restricted to Scotland, used as a “model for similar…

Immigration has recently become the center of the presidential debates, and every candidate is trying to offer up the best position regarding this topic. For instance, the democrats maintain a low profile on their stance because many, such as Hillary Clinton, believe immigration is be something we should allow more of. While the republicans, excluding Jeb Bush, strongly support the strengthening of our immigration laws. That being said, Donald Trump’s stance on immigration is the most popular…

The Dark Night trilogy set the gold standard for the characters Batman, and the Joker. Every casual movie goer or critic would tell you that the most recent portrayal of each of these characters isn’t as good as the Dark Night Trilogy characters. With the flop of Man of Steel, and Batman vs. Super Man, Warner Brothers, the company making DC films, wanted to take a lot of control away from directors, and unfortunately the first movie to take such directions was 2016’s “Suicide Squad” by David…

To be a courageous woman whether in battle leading the French Army or being in an asylum deserves the same respect.
