the British salt policies to be the unifying theme fir his new campaign of “satyagraha.” Unfortunately, it got worse, Indians were forced to pay irrational British taxes, and also give away their property. In a situation like this in today’s society the first thing we would use is violence, and fight back. Remarkably, through a revolutionary concept of nonviolence, Gandhi led the Indians and obtained freedom from the British. A big reason how Gandhi got freedom for India was The Salt March,…

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, born on October 2, 1869, grew up in the small town of Porbandar and became a world-renowned political and spiritual leader who would be valued by many people under the British rule ("Gandhi, Mohandas Karamchand (1869-1948)"). There are a limited amount of people in history who have accomplished what Gandhi did…

In order to develop an avian model that is able to express the duck viperin with an advantage of stable and homogeneous expression, duck viperin with and without the C-terminal V5 tag was previously cloned into the mammalian expression vector pcDNA3.1/Hygro+. Then, with the use of lipofectamine 2000, I stably transfected an empty vector and duck viperin tagged or untagged into DF-1 cells. In order to get a monoclonal…

April, 1930. The coastline in Dandi, India is dotted with millions of people illegally extracting their own salt from the water, each feeling a mixture of triumph and fear. They have come together to protest the British salt laws, which they believe are wrong. But it is also understood that in doing so, many will face consequences. Civil disobedience is vital to bringing a positive change to society, under the circumstances of tyranny and/or discrimination. However, fear is induced by the danger…

For my service project I did two types of volunteering. One was being the president of Kilmer's Student Council Association (SCA). In SCA, a group of seventh and eighth grade students, including myself, got together about every other week, for an hour, to discuss, plan, and promote student events. Some of these events included student dances, holiday/seasonal games at lunch, fun runs, fundraisers and Kilmer Spirit Week. First, we would discuss what materials and how much time we would need to…

This one small act started a chain reaction throughout India, as people in other areas began to protest and to make their own salt as well. Gandhi started a type of mass movement never before seen in India, and a great many people were arrested and put in Jail during this time. The Salt March was a huge stepping stone towards the freedom of…

Mahatma Gandhi, a man whose life was not easy. He was faced against all odds during his lifetime and never gave up. Of course, as a child, he kind of rebelled, but we all do that. So it was when he decided to become a lawyer that he was changed into the future Gandhi. This Gandhi would stand up for rights no matter the consequences. During his leadership Gandhi said a quote that was actually by him that still inspires me today. The quote says (“Be the change you wish to see in the world”). This…

Today, in Egypt, we are left with the ruins of art and architecture. The pyramids, sphinxes, and tombs were torn apart by the later Egyptian Dynasties and destroyed by looters. Some of the loss of artifacts this have to do with time, earthquakes, and past looters, but the biggest culprits, that many do not think of first, are the early Egyptologists. It was all about getting the biggest and most impressive objects and not really about the importance of the object in context to the area. Because…
