Over the course of thousands of years there has been a constant series of events that have significantly changed the history of the world. History is history because it’s responsible for having changed the most basic aspects of human life. Although there has been many memorable events over the years, the Industrial Revolution would have to be the most impactful. The Industrial Revolution changed every aspect of life and business. Not only did it greatly impact Britain, but it spread to Western…

trust was still disbanded by the Sherman Antitrust Act for acting as a monopoly. Even with this governmental break-up of his holdings, however, he was still held the title of the world’s richest man, and is credited with being the richest person in United States history, with an approximated total of $1.4 billion at his time of…

Mixed Up I didn’t start getting questions like “What are you” and “Are you an Oreo?” till I hit middle school, 6th grade to be exact. The first time I got asked these questions was from a young boy in my grade. I was confused as to what he was trying to ask me but I answered with “what do you mean? I’m a girl, I’m me”. That answer did not service so he asked me again “No. What race are you?” So I told him my mom was white and dad was black, then he kind of looked at me blackly and said “Oh ok…

of the time the nation amidst the struggle turns to the United States with a request for help. The United States then decides whether or not to aid the country in need. Recently, the United States have given foreign aid to any country that has needed it. In a way, the United States has started to act like a worldwide police because of the ways countries around the world request assistance. This has U.S. citizens wondering if the United States really should be spending large amounts of money…

One of the issues that have been raised today with the advancement of science and technology is automatic license plate recognition. To do this, a system must be designed that can read the license plate by taking a picture of the car [1]. Automatic licence plate recognition aims to identify the license plate in a digital natural image in order to read the number and convert it into equivalent ASCII code. One of the most important parameters affecting the number plate recognition is the existence…

It is abundantly clear that, since it joined in January 1973, the UK’s main challenger of legal sovereignty is the EU. As epitomised by the Factortame case of 1990 and, more recently, the 2008 Coleman case, European Law ultimately takes primacy over UK law. In terms of sovereignty however, this is directly counteracted with the UK’s ability to withdraw membership at any time and restore its own sovereignty (as recognised in 1972 during negotiations regarding the European Community). It is…

Chris Shea ENG 398 – Topic Proposal Professor Aimee Pozorski 11/30/15 Topic Proposal for “Sybil, This is Not who we Are” Generally, when critics read chapter 24 of Ralph Ellison’s 1952 novel Invisible Man, they see Sybil as being a representation of how white women viewed black men in the 1930s. This is as according to Lena M. Hill’s work The Visual Art of Invisible Man: Ellison’s Portrait of Blackness. And while it could be for different reasons, I tend to agree with this for the most part.…

The brutality that African American endured is just terrifying. All they wanted was to live in peace and freedom has taken so many lives. Denial is one of the recommendations that Verna talked about and how we need real people. People need to stop pretending that their not biases. As she explains how being bias is how we are about to associate positive in White people and negative in Black and this in turn results in being biases preferring to be around a White person. Being that a face of a…

In general, I think the film “I'm Not a Racist . . . Am I?” is a successful independent film that touches upon one of the most long-existing human/social issues in the United States, namely the Racism. To start with, I really appreciate how the film differentiates the individual bigotry and systematic racism, which definitely sheds light on a much more precise way of defining racism for us. Apart from that, in the film, when I was first introduced to the revolutionary thought “All white are…
