Because of her skin color she was moved back to a worse train car than the one she was already in. It states in paragraphs 12-14 that," I can't take your ticket here," he said." You'll have to move to the smoking car." This means that she was horribly discriminated against because of her skin

Esteemed teacher at Elk Grove High School was arrested Thursday morning. Two Elk Grove police officers barged in on her first class of the day not only to find that she had controlled substances on her, but she also tried planting them on a student in said class.
As a visual media component, the main goal for any advertisement is to make it memorable or make the product in the advertisement memorable. In some cases the ad is either straight forward or makes you think. Usually, the small catchy jingles or an ad that has humor are the ones that people most remember. However, some ads have a sarcastic tone and a deeper meaning than what is being portrayed by pictures. The pictures can only explain so much, but it is left up to the interpreter or the reader to really grasp the information that is being presented. In a Newport Cigarette ad that was published has a deeper and darker meaning than one would think.
something that was done over two generations ago. Michigan is attempting to move forward with backwards thinking.
Recently there has been a debate whether California should pass a ‘No Pass/No Drive’ law. This law states that if a student under 18 who skips classes too much or drops out of school would not be allowed to drive. Many people think that this law is unfair and should not take effect because it doesn’t guarantee that students will get better in school, but that is simply untrue. In fact, I believe this law should be brought into California because it motivates students to get better grades and will lower the crime rate of California.
We already know that there has been a precipitous decline in the study of liberal arts because many people do not value it anymore. English and history are now being pushed aside for math or science. Fareed Zakaria, an American journalist and author, in his article, “What's the Use of a Liberal Education?” writes, “Even President Obama recently urged students to keep in mind that a technical training could be more valuable than a degree in art history. Majors like English, once very popular and highly respected, are in steep decline.” This mindset is causing many people to turn away from liberal arts-based subjects, so they can pursue something that would “be more valuable”.
The electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette, is growing in popularity in the United States among people who are trying to quit smoking. The e-cigarette gives the nicotine and physical sensations that the brain craves, while supposedly reducing the amount of harmful substances and smoke found in true cigarettes. However, e-cigarettes remain unregulated and are purely experimental in many ways. The side effects of e-cigarettes are allegedly less extreme and are not as slow as other nicotine replacements. The fast acting nicotine replacement gives attempting quitters an alternative option to smoking regular cigarettes, with fast crave quenching ability.

The Great Debate is about the weather or not to keep The Constitution. Which the Anti-Federalists didn’t want around anymore. But The Federalists had believed that somebody had to have some type of power to keep all states in control at once. But it had to be ratified by at least 9/13 states to become a legal. But each side had their own opinions on how the states should be handled.
Newport Cigarettes In the Newport cigarette advertisement, "Alive with pleasure!" is an attractive phrase to lure the public to purchase the product which contains tobacco, and it is bad for the publics heath. The image consists of a woman and a man playing in the water at the beach. The man has his arms locked securely around the woman's waist as if he is lifting her up. She is holding a gigantic multicolored beach ball, and appears to be laughing.
”Never confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your talent.”-Marlon Brando. This is very true when it comes to supporting actors. Many times the supporting actors will get payed less than the lead actors, of course there are exceptions to that case, but for the most part that is true. The funny thing is, you can’t tell the story without other characters. Just think about the movie Cinderella, she wouldn’t have been able to go to the ball or meet the prince unless her fairy godmother a.k.a supporting actor, came to her rescue. She wouldn’t have ever meet anyone in the first place unless there was a prince a.k.a another supporting actor. Some of the most iconic films wouldn’t be that way if it wasn’t for the supporting actors helping
For example, when traveling in a foreign, non-English-speaking airport, it is more probable that one will speak to the English-speaking Americans, and if one needs help, ask it from them. They are not comfortable in this foreign airport and are nervous about the language barrier, in addition to the general stress about catching a flight. As an Orthodox Jew, I have on occasion been stopped for directions, or asked to watch luggage in an airport, by other Orthodox Jews. It is not discrimination, it is simply human nature. It is possible that this was the author’s thought on how race may have impacted on the situation on the train. The African Americans, even if they did not agree with the mother’s actions, could possibly have not wanted to stand up in public against her. Although they would never support her, publicly humiliating her when another person already was may have felt wrong to them, feeling they should not add to her persecution. Hence, I agree with the Arab-Canadian friend’s perspective that race should not affect the situation, though also understand the author’s reasoning behind there being a chance it could
Smoking tobacco is probably one of the worst habits humankind has developed. Originating as a tradition of the Native Americans, practiced mostly on special occasions, smoking has gradually become a kind of mass addiction. Due to the efforts of tobacco companies seeking to increase their sales, people started smoking more and more often; the evolution of a more traditional pipe to a cigarette took some time, but eventually tobacco became more affordable and easier to use (you now simply need to light it up, instead of having to always carry a tobacco pouch, stuff a pipe, puff it, and so on). As a result, deaths and health issues connected to tobacco consumption became a worldwide

About a week or two ago, we touched on the idea that why alcohol and nicotine are so widely used and accepted today, even though they are more harmful pharmacologically than many drugs that not considered acceptable. Now, we even see Jonathan Ott brought up this issue again, where both tobacco and alcohol contributed more than deaths per years than all these illicit drug used combined. As he puts it, there are nearly 100 times as many deaths as a result from nicotine, ‘’even though there are only three times as many nicotine users in the United States as users of all illicit drugs combined’’ ( Ott, Proemium, line ). One could say that both alcohol and tobacco are indeed more toxic and dangerous than other illicit drugs that our government is prohibiting.
