Protest in Mighty Be Our Powers When a war takes place, innocent civilians tend to suffer. More often than not, before a resolution is achieved, the circumstances worsen for the people. This was the case for Liberia, a country in Africa, that experienced a tragic civil war. However, with the help of an incredible young woman, Leymah Gbowee, the country was able to reform its disastrous state. In her memoir, Mighty Be Our Powers, Gbowee shows readers her perspective of the Liberian Civil War, and…

Most people think that, overall, sports are a good activity for most children. Taking part in sports has many benefits that help a child to grow and become a good citizen. However, there are some sports which are not so good in other ways. That is because they impact and affect the environment in a negative way. Because of their negative effects on the environment, these sports teach children things that they should not learn such as how to pollute and violent behavior. Children should not be…

the corner, noticing the smirks of the people who sit in the streets, already used to my daily ritual. Retracing my steps, I find my way back to the polishers. The boy, trembling like a cornered rabbit, shone the shoes of the pig in front of him. A bruise, fresh and pulsing, shone on his cheek. Looking over to the other polishers, cowering under the sharp glare of the suited men, I feel pity stirring with rage. But I can’t do anything. Not yet. I sit on the kerb of the street, watching the…

“The Head?” I inquire suspiciously. “I’m like a leader but without being able to tell anyone what to do. Instead, whenever leaders change or there is some other change, my statement makes it official.” She folds her hands. “And I understand your curiousity, Mrs. Westover, but if anyone other than me had seen you.” I raise my eyebrows. “Yes, even Xanatar.” My eyebrows fall. “You would have been killed.” I blush a little at my stupidity and tell her, “Thank you. I guess I am lucky it was you.”…

On February 7, 2018, at 5:30 p.m., I attended the meeting that I had scheduled with Magdala. At the meeting, I read off my pages of notes that I had constructed about Laundry View and the benefits that it can bring to students if such a portal became accessible on the WSSU website. I also showed her the picture and the video of the Wash Alert system that UNCG has, to give a visual on how Laundry View would look and how it works. Magdala then proceeded to go to the Laundry View website and tried…

alone the quiet, dignified classy group. There is all different kinds of people that attend the club, but they all seem to fall under three categories the classy, the trashy, and the sassy. The rich people would fall under this category. They usually sit in the VIP, and mind their own business with their kind. Although they have no need to be at…

movement; so many people were apathetic or opposed to the cause for they had never considered what life in the U.S was like for an African American. A middle class white woman in Alabama never had the reason to wonder what it felt like to be forced to sit in the back of a bus or to send her children to lesser funded schools. Bloody Sunday, a heartbreaking event where six hundred peaceful African American protesters were brutally beaten by the local Selma police, tore bystanders and those…

than promised, disabled citizens occupied HEW offices across the country, including a San Francisco protest which lasted nearly a month. These protesters participated knowing that the protest would cause them harm; they acknowledged that the prolonged sit-in could exacerbate their medical issues, and that they risked their liberty in obstructing government happenings. By carrying out this protest, the activists showed disabled citizens’ dedication to and competence in political action. Such…

When one is in highschool it is essential that they focus on subjects they will use in their future careers. By having so many requirements regarding mandatory classes, students are often held back from taking classes that interest them and not having enough space to focus on subjects that matter to them. I will use civil disobedience to stop this. I plan on protesting taking all required classes. Some classes should be required, but only to be taken once. Otherwise if a student is certain that…

We decided to learn more about an Indianapolis based sports radio station, 1070 “the Fan”. To get a more in-depth perspective we interviewed John Griffin who is the() to get a better understanding of how the business functions. One of the Fan’s biggest strengths comes from its affiliation with ESPN. This association gives the Fan a national presence to stand above its competitors. They are able to air programs such as Mike and Mike in the Morning that draws in viewers who might not have tuned…
