TransCanada’s responses to its environment can be described by two actions: the drafting of the EIS and the Perryman Study and working with the Nebraska government to reroute the pipeline. 2.1 Environmental Impact Study and Perryman Study As to compile with the National Environmental Policy Act and the Department of State for a presidential permit that included a national interest determination, TransCanada had to prepare an EIS, which was a three-year study and examined “project design…

According to Britannica.co, Fox News was created by Robert Murdoch who “enlisted television producer and former Republican political consultant Roger Ailes to oversee the new network, and Ailes’s business acumen and political leanings became closely associated with its eventual success.” Fox News trademark slogan…

The Reasons Why I Can’t Wear Shorts to School - The Sexualization of the Female Body In Society In March of 1959, the company Mattel introduced the Barbie doll to the public. Their initial goal was to create a doll for every little girl out there to play with and identify with. The girls who grew up playing with a Barbie,myself included, eventually admired and sieved to be like Barbie, for all the wrong reasons. It wasn’t the numerous professions or house she had, it…

In the book, “Duty, Memoirs of a Secretary of State”, former Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates describes his experiences as Secretary of State while serving for two Presidential Administrations from 2006-2011. This Paper will analyze former Secretary of Defense, Robert M. Gates, as a strategic leader in two specific areas: his ability to build consensus and unite the Military and Congress with a unifying strategic approach to the war in Iraq during his first year (2006-2007) under President…

The human race is infamous for putting up barriers. Society began to master the art of shutting people out centuries ago, both physically and mentally. Yet no person truly enjoys being on his or her own. This conflicting idea/image at the core of Robert Frost’s 1914 poem, “Mending Wall,” is striking: two neighbors come together to build a barrier between them yet also display a sense of respect and neighborliness towards one another. They make this wall out of custom, out of habit. This pattern…

In the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tony Stark, the character played by Robert Downey Jr said that he would reinstitute prima nocta if he were king of Asgard; prima nocta is the right of a king to bed a woman on her wedding night. Women are then equated with things that can be possessed by men. The belief of men to have rights to women reminded me of the actions of Elliot Rodger, whom drove to a sorority house in California and…

Everyone is fully aware of the Trump phenomenon where criticism had no effect on his popularity. In fact, most every time he acted indecent and/or immoral, his poll numbers went up during the primaries. We’ve never seen anything like this in our nation. Even with this advantage, he still never would have gotten where he was if some other critical factors weren’t in play. Trump stood out against the whole slew of his other GOP rivals. Most were indeed decent conservative candidates with…

Schlichter explains his views in his article “Gun Rights Advocates Have A Devastating New Argument Against Gun Control. Here It Is.” on the Independent Journal website. During debates, and also in argumentative articles, people’s emotions often take over and very few facts are actually used to support their arguments. Topics that lead readers and…

Immigration seems to be a popular topic of conversations among the American population today. Immigration has influenced our school systems, environment, language, culture, and political parties. Although immigration gets the wrap of a burden in our society, I feel as if it is a positive thing. With this being said, I do not believe that there should be NO restrictions as to who can enter our country wanting to live, work or study, but rather the following; there should be no restriction for…
