Fall River, Massachusetts is not nearly the poorest urban neighborhood of the United States. Its people have not endured any fraction of the strife, poverty, violence, or tumult that residents of the South Bronx have. Its schools are functional, its neighborhoods are diverse, its hospital systems – though similarly understaffed and sometimes unhelpful – operate smoothly. In 2012, Fall River was ranked among the top “100 Best Communities for Young People” in America (“2012 Competition Winners”).…

A Psychological Limitation of Self-Control Interdisciplinary Rational Hackers are people. While simplistic, this statement is the foremost factor for the need for an interdisciplinary approach to answer this question. People are complex. By extensions, many problems involving people are complex as well.

Plato’s Allegory of the Cave Politics is disgusting. It is chaotic, it is a pile of mess, and it definitely segregates people from having a united opinion. There is no surprise that the silent majority would not support either Hilary or Trump. The first debate was way too close to a reality TV show: A Jersey Shore episode except with a twist, senior citizens. The FBI investigating leaked files from Hilary? Scandal. The IRS also investigating bankruptcy claims from Trump? Scandal. From potential…

Auden’s poem, ‘Musée des Beaux Arts’ is heavily influenced by these presented texts, he…

Athanasius’ biography, The Life of St. Antony, is not simply a tribute to Antony of Egypt or template for monastic living, it also demonstrates an understanding of soteriology that demands holiness of Christian living . Compare this manuscript to a tapestry, and this soteriological understanding can be likened to a strong, coloured thread woven throughout, giving tone to the image and binding the tapestry together. The reader can catch glimpses of this thread by first taking an overview of the…

bridges on the nation’s highways. This puts horses at risk for injuries. Also, there are currently conflicting federal standards when it comes to transporting horses. “The use of double-decker trailers has been banned by APHIS for horses that are bound for slaughter facilities, but permitted for horses transported for other reasons.
