The Wayside

“If they would all add breadth to length - the other regarding dimension to the self-regarding dimension - the jangling discords of our nation would be transformed into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.” Many people would agree that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a strong social activist and priest who was not afraid to voice his opinion of nonviolence and love for the human race. The excerpts from “The Complete Life” by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and “The Final Eulogy” by Benjamin Mays…

class citizens view the lower/working class as lazy and incompetent. According to Lawler, “So almost all of us think of the “underclass” as a product of un-American social policy,” (Lawler). The “underclass” Lawler speaks of is generally left to the wayside in American society. The proles are compared to animals in 1984 and are a product of Party neglect. This human conditional view can create a superiority complex in the Party members and upper class American Society. The lower class and…

agreements. Courts decide reasonableness without respect to the terms of the understanding. A noncompetition contract is a one of a kind sort of agreement, as the general contract standard of common contract bolstered by consideration tumbles to the wayside. Rather, reasonableness turns into the way to enforceability. In this particular case, Dr. Larson has given in writing at the time of employment and as a part of employment agreement that he would abide not to compete with the employer and…

History Burnt Away Books, the records of our past, the keys to a better more educated future for the entire world. Did you ever stop and think that not everyone has easy access to one? Some people fight wars just so their children can get an education, read books, and understand their future possibilities. In Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451, people don’t know what books actually are because they are censored to the point of destruction just to appeal to the larger audience. “You weren't there,…

In an era of increased globalization, transnational corporations (“TNCs”) and MNCs have grown in number and in power. A significant portion of modern economic development occurs through TNCs that, in an effort to maximize profit, move to developing countries. Among the attractions to TNCs of such regions are lax environmental regulations and what amounts to tolerance of human rights violations. TNCs have increased the rate of man-made environmental destruction and concomitant harm to humans.…

family began to erode. Young couples sought privacy as they made their way through life, no longer were they sleeping in a 2 bedroom apartment with other family members. They sought out their own apartments or homes. The elderly were pushed to the wayside as the youth movement began, and with that some might say the end of the extended family. The end of the war only brought more economic opportunities for all Americans as the nation industry began to rebuild Europe, and the Far East, once again…

people volunteer with an expectation of really helping others, but sometimes that turns into being asked to do mundane tasks instead, so instead of being encouraged and feeling valued, they are hard to keep because they have been ‘tossed’ by the wayside. Think big and realize that happiness does not necessarily come from being successful. Know what truly counts: your health, your belief in yourself, and your passion. (Crandell,…

Graduating with a degree had always been a goal of mine until about two years ago. At that point in my life obtaining a degree fell to the wayside. However, after a series of events, I’m back on track to receive one and I’m thrilled about it. Now that I’ve started my educational career at Colorado Christian University, I have three other goals for myself while studying. Those goals are to maintain straight A’s, find ways to apply what I’m learning into my life at the present time, and to share…

Huntington, Huntington, Huntington, Collis P. Huntington is who many consider to be the head of the Central Pacific railroad. The reason why it all came together, so to speak. Huntington was always a brash businessman. He even had the audacity to claim the Eiffel tower wasn’t profitable. Huntington was a man who was in it all for profit. I understand that the big four, the men responsible for the Central Pacific Railroad: IE Huntington, Leland Stanford, Crocker and Hopkins may have worked…

Between work, bills, jury duty, and the 101 other tid-bits of minutia we sift through on a daily, we often push our own personal development to the wayside. Saint James warned against such, detailing her that she wakes up as early as 3am, every morning, to serve her own spiritual and creative needs before she gets into her daily routine. She reveals that on a good day, how she prefers taking long walk…
