After allegedly being promised the English throne by Edward the Confessor, William fought for the throne against Harold Godwinson and won, becoming the first Norman king of England.

the individual perspective offered through John, the hypnopaedic epithet ‘glad I’m a Gamma’ depicts the conditioned suppression of otherness by dominant political regimes.

Upon reading the anthropologist Horace Miner’s satirical article “Body Ritual among the Nacirema”, one cannot help but be struck with the tone of derision affected by the author. It is impossible to contend with the work without addressing this, for this tone is very much the point. In deciding to impart the necessity of viewing other cultures from a prism devoid of ethnocentrism, Miner reveals much about the ways in which we, as a society, view ourselves. This should be viewed as the primary…

Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick has long suffered from popular misconceptions surrounding the novel. Despite its near universal acclaim as the “Great American novel,” the work still struggles to find its way into the curriculum of any academic level below that of college. While I concede that teaching Moby-Dick in the high-school classroom is problematic, it seems that bringing it into a community-college syllabus is a bit more feasible. Though community-college students may often present challenges…

At a time when flying was not that popular, many pioneers stepped in to show the world the benefits of flying and what planes were capable of. One of such pioneers was Amelia Earhart. Born in Atchison, Kansas, in 1897, Earhart attended her first flying display in 1918. She went on her first flight in 1920, by 1921 had already soloed and by 1922 had bought her first plane ("Amelia Earhart: The Official Website", 2014). Earhart wasted no time in setting a record, flying higher than any woman…

As the first president of the United States George Washington once said, “Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.” Why does being a part of the collegiate academy law and justice interest me? To begin, law and justice shows how the whole government works for decision making, and being a part of decisions is something I loved since I was young. In addition, being in a collegiate academy interests me because it shows that I can handle challenging…
