Back in Time to Pinkalicous Essay

The American Revolutionary war began in-part because of economic struggles England faced after securing safety for it’s colonies during the Seven Years War. England needed to increase their taxation on the colonists after the war to pay off its war debts. Prior to these taxes, the colonies were wholly content while under the wing of the British Empire. Not only because the protection the British provided, but also because of their deep reverence for the Motherland. Colonists were angered by with Parliament due to their lack of acknowledgement towards colonists rights and opinions. Colonists stood together in a defiant motion towards liberation from England’s tyrannous acts of lawless duplicity. Before British government was able to fully

In the late 1990 's, Latin America was facing a turn towards left-wing governments as they started drifting away from neoliberalism. This was coined as the 'Pink Tide ' of Latin America which took place from around 1998 until around 2009. The origins of the term came from a New York Times reporter who commented that the election of the Uruguayan Leader was “not so much a red tide but more of a pink one” (Pittsburgh n.d.). A red tide symbolizes communism whereas a pink one leans towards a moderate reign of communism with the integration of socialist ideas. Countries in Latin America turned to neo-liberal policies “which privatized public companies, cut foreign investment, public spending, etc” (Arditi 64). These were prompted by such organizations as the “International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank which referred to the actions as the 'Washington Consensus '” (Arditi 67-68). The Pink Tide “rejected privatization of state services and liberalized international trade” (Arditi 72). In other words, this push by domestic resistance from Latin American governments created the Pink Tide via rejecting the Washington Consensus. Since then, it seems that the Pink Tide is receding due to the rise of center-right to right opposition members. Moreover, the factors that triggered the Pink Tide has since diminished. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that there will be any

“I don’t know,” I told her. It was an easy way out, a way to not have any more worries pile up. She shot me a look, that I unfortunately

“Well the truth is I brought you here with our time machine that the other girls and I made.” Posa informs Marilyn again.

“I dunno,” I said. “Sinead had an idea, if she cast a spell to turn back time, we wouldn’t be in this

“You don’t mind if we ask some questions about why you’re standing there all by yourself?” said

“Okay,” I said, trying to look like I wanted to help. Of course, I knew that I had to.

The 70’s was not just an era of peace and hippies and new music. This era also went through many foreign issues that shaped and played a role in how future foreign policy acted. Throughout the 70’s planes were hijacked, U.S withdrew from Vietnam, and the Iran hostage crisis took place because of these events it help shaped the American foreign policy of the 70’s.

Mental health has proven to be very fragile, but at the same time is ignored in society and is not given as much attention as physical health is. People with mental illnesses sometimes ignore their symptoms because they do not want to be seen as “different” or “unworthy” due to their psychological state. As societal pressures become more overwhelming and other environmental factors, like the increase of unemployment rates, many individuals are struggling to keep a positive view on society and this is beginning to have a toll on their mental health. Society has begun to idolize the vision of “perfection” and some believe that they are not good enough if they do not reach these high

Color of Purple is a Novel by Alice Walker, published in 1982. It won a Pulitzer Prize in 1983. A feminist novel about an abused and uneducated black woman's struggle for empowerment, the novel was praised for the depth of its female characters and for its eloquent use of black English vernacular.

"It's elementary, my dear Watson," says Sherlock Holmes-an oft-repeated adage by many an aspiring sleuth, detective or private investigator, both real and imagined. So, it seems fitting that the new Sherlock Holmes series should be named that-“Elementary”. Just like the detective written in the book, the character portrayed on the television series, Sherlock Holmes, by Jonny Lee Miller does not disappoint. The twist in this series was that Watson, played by Lucy Liu, was a woman and now called Joan Watson. Many thought that it would be bad for the series to have the character of Holmes sidekick played by a woman but, it has not deterred fans of this series from

“Oh, my apologies then,” I said. “You do seem much more mannerly and much less goofy.”

From time to time those that have come before us such as our moms, dads, and grandparents will reminisce on the good old days. A time when there was no Internet so one had to read the newspaper for updates, write rather than type during class, go to the library for research, knock for a friend, use snail mail, etc. For me such thoughts have made the understanding of the phrase, “the good old days” quite blurred. The fact is the so-called “good old days” was a time that seems astronomically different, slow paced, and quite frankly dull compared to today. That is, since I can remember the Internet has always been apart of my life, practically advancing its growth as I have grown. The Internet has revolutionized today’s society changing our

I said, "Well, let me ask you a question. Let's assume that, in a couple of years from now, you were super-successful with that idea, what would that look like?"

The Time Machine As I understand it, Darwin in his book ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES published in 1865, argues that natural selection leads to adaptive improvement. Or even, if evolution isn't under the influence of natural selection, this could still lead to divergence and diversity. At one time, there was a single ultimate ancestor, and from this, hundreds of millions of separate individual species evolved. This process where one species splits into two different species is called speciation. Subsequent divergence leads to a wider separation of taxonomic units, the genera, the families, the orders, the classes, etc.
