Bruce began training in the Wing Chun fighting style under a master named Yip man (Divine, 1). During the movie, Bruce Lee: Fists of Fury, Lee was quoted talking about his early life, “The white kids [British] have all the best jobs and the rest of us had to work for them.

The main character Hank Hill innocently asks his neighbor, “So, are you Chinese or Japanese?” His neighbor, Kahn Souphanousinphone, replies, “I…

The three little pig's tale has been an all-time classic that has been told throughout countless years. The tale can be classified as a fable, “a short story that usually concerns animals and intended to teach a lesson". This story has an effective moral that all ages can learn from. Although this story has different interpretations and various versions of the tale, the overall lesson has always been the same. Regardless, I believe that the overall moral of the story is that time and effort will…

Colleges always face a lot of scrutiny when it comes to how they are run. In recent years, the First Amendment has come into play on campuses across the nation. Many articles have been written defending both for and against restrictions, defending the use of trigger warnings in class, and explaining what this controversy is really about. While the colleges themselves have the power to choose what they do, they must consider what experience they want to provide for their students. What is Free…

officers. Rener and Ryron also have a program for kids who are bullied. A young boy named Gordan was bullied by the same person for 6 years. The boy began to train with Rener for the Bullyproof program. Rener told Gordon that if he wanted the bullying to stop he would have to “check” the bully. To check the bully, the students will use assertive verbal sayings.

The Critical Race Theory states “people have intersecting identities.” Two of those identities are gender and race. In Marilyn Frye’s article “Oppression” she said, “the experience of oppressed people is that the living of one’s life is confined and shaped by forces and barriers which are not accidental or occasional” (Frye). Through looking at various resources, we will discuss how the identities of race and gender have led to people living their lives under a blanket of oppression and how…
