Society has mastered the art of masking social issues. With female presidential candidates, entrepreneurs, and moguls surfacing in the media, many believe that women have already gained equal opportunities and are no longer subjects to sexual discrimination.

Liquor brings it out in sharp focus, and while some might blame drinking, the alcohol only brings out what is already there. He does not like the radio getting turned on without his permission, which to him smacks of rebellion. Stanley needs to be the one in charge and cannot be undermined by mere women, especially one that he dislikes. When Stella leaves because Stanley hit her, he becomes remorseful, as he senses his control over his life is slipping. Despite him calling…

We should hold this truth to be self-evident: that we, the people, have not held up our end of the “social contract” between us and our government. Perhaps our disenfranchisement with the government is one of our own making. Perhaps our role in government needs to go beyond mere obligations, or even participation. And perhaps the emerging divide between the government of the people, by the people, and for the people with those very people can be ameliorated by something as simple as education…

anxiousness for the Federalists, as they believed that the nation born from an uprising “had not lost the capacity for violence”, meaning the nation held the potential to erupt in turmoil once again. This capacity was exercised in Shays’ Rebellion, the Whiskey Rebellion, and when Virginia objected the Alien and Sedition Acts, they threatened secession. This fear was exacerbated by the fact that the Federalists yearned to “find the stability that would justify the Revolution”. This fear also came…

Her bright eyes had dulled to a sour whiskey color” (Russell 237).

Times may be changing, but traditions hold true. Said best by the first father of our country, “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master.” President George Washington understood the discipline, consistency, and lucidity requisite to consolidate a growing nation. Undeniably, his sharp mind and innate governance sustained a widespread sense of triumph, pride, and purpose among citizens that we Americans have long…

Leadership Throughout the Years A point guard yelling and making plays to win. And a New York legislature leading the government. All of these examples of leadership show that one person is willing the take charge and lead a group/person the success. An example of leadership is when a student is falling behind in their school work and the teacher is pleased to stay after school and give the student extra help on their assignments. Another way leadership could be defined is that someone is…

When it comes to defining terrorist there seem to be some ambiguity in the criteria of what is considered terrorism and what is not. Conversely, Crone and Harrow (2011) suggested the best definition of domestic terrorism is belonging and autonomy of the west. Accordingly, this criterion eliminates some terror acts directed towards the government while inclusive of others. Eugene (2004) argues regardless of the level of autonomy the groups possess the defining attribute of the group or individual…
