Draft In Tulsa Oklahoma on September 16th 2016, Terence Crutcher was fatally shot by Officer Betty Jo Shelbie. The police were originally notified because there was a car stalled in the middle of the road but by the end of it, a black unarmed man was murdered in cold blood. A helicopter from above captured the video where the man was shot. He was called a “bad dude”, however was he really so? No. "That big 'bad dude' was a father," his sister said after watching the video. "That big bad dude was…

No Hip In The Wild Tren Linsley Violence and chaos, is used, in conjunction with symbolic aspects, and binary opposition as literary tools, in “No Church In the Wild” to show fundamental problems with gender inequality in society, pointing out the irony that men are the ones with all the power, yet are ones who use it for violence. “No Church In The Wild” in this sense is a very overzealous example of “hipster” counterculture. The video opens with a relatively still shot of a man holding a…

Furthermore, riots continued into Friday, December 12th where students attacked police outside the parliament building, while police responded with fired tear gas, and issued an appeal for more tear gas after supplies ran low as the result of more than 4,600 capsules of it being released against protesters. Heavy rain that evening, however, helped subside the angry crowd. However, it wasn’t the end. The protests inspired small protests in many European cities, spreading fears of copycat riots…

the yellow hazmat suits, and the dog. First, the disease is an important object in the story. The entire story is based about a disease that lay dormant in all humans for 9 months and then killed almost every human on earth. The survivors who were immune to the disease are extremely rare and only 1 out 1 million people lived. The disease…

The life of cosmopolitan women in late-antiquity has remained something of an enigma to scholars. Perceptions of general decadence and moral impoverishment date back to the early research of historians like Edward Gibbon, who argued that a loss of virtue-ethics plagued the secular government. Authors of the 5th and 6th centuries, like Procopius and St. Augustine, offer little to undermine that notion. One would be quick to assume that the general decline in quality of life in the late…

parade performance in the past and today. The history of where pride parades began and the impacts of performance and corporatization in North America. Pride Parades through time have changed dramatically. What once was used as a means of protest and a riot used for the protection and fight for people’s human rights, in North American culture, has turned into a celebration.

The Secret History was written by Procopius during his lifetime, but after his other works. This was a work written for himself and close friends, which he never intended to publish. The Secret History shows a different side to the events that happened in the Byzantine Empire. This book shows a different side to many different, well know rulers in Byzantine. Procopius portrays Antonina to be a very scandalous person with very little morals who would cheat on her husband every chance she got.…
