Tragedy of the commons

A brave woman, Sojourner Truth, attempted to fight for both, giving an extremely powerful speech at a women’s convention in 1851 arguing for the rights of all women.

Congressman Dinner Reflection I found our dinner with the former United States Congressmen, Dan Miller and Sam Coppersmith, to be extremely rewarding.

Aristophane believes love developed from a myth and that love can work against us. From each of these speeches the personalities and characteristics of each person are…

Two great voices in Salem Massachusetts, Abigail Williams, the niece of a reverend and Judge Danforth, head judge of the court; one with a daunting reputation and the other with great authority.
