The fight for $15 movement has started many fast-food workers to demand more than the state minimum wage requirement. In 2012 over two hundred workers walked off the job because they couldn’t survive off minimum wages. This act created a global movement called fight for $15. Fight for $15 have been reaching over three hundred cities on six continents and still growing. David Rolf a boyish union leader played a big role in the movement fight for $15 (Fight for $15). Rolf is making the Seattle one of the first major cities to have $15 minimum wage. Since then the governor of California and New York sign landmark law establishing a $15 minimum wage. This will encourage more states to take in value that minimum wage does not cover workers basic need in life. Also, if every state changed to $15 this will help parents not do illegal acts to make sure that their expenses are being paid (The Guardian).
Ring, ring, ring. This sound is ingrained in my subconscious as one of anxiety, confusion, frustration, and eventual relief. Junior year had just begun and I was busy completing my homework when the phone started to ring. I was already anticipating the ways I would spend my time after completing
Stop putting the blame on nonvoters, and learn to understand the historical context behind their lack of voluntary participation with government affairs. Such “non-action” isn’t a direct representation of how nonvoters don’t think they are political subjects, it is rather that they are aware that voting isn’t enough and they are tired. Looking at the outcome of the presidential campaign for who would become the 45th president of the United States, accompanied by 3 steps from the Afrocentric Methodology, and by valid critiques centered in combatting against oppression from Michelle Alexander, Michael Tillotson and Kwame Ture, it becomes clear that nonvoters (whom many may be people from marginalized groups) aren’t the reason Trump was elected,
Banning Books. For this assignment I decide to call El Paso Library Main Branch because it was the only library that answered my call. My first option was Clardy Fox Library but the phone that Google provide was off line. I called El Paso Library on Saturday, September 5th at 2 p.m. because they closed at 6 p.m. and luckily they answered me. The person that took the phone was a male, I forgot to ask his name or maybe I do not remember his name at all. Going to the point, the first thing that I ask him was if I could ask him a few question for my communication class, fortunately he said yes. He was very polite. The first question that I asked was I they’ve had any requests to ban books? He said, yes they have but not now. Then he told me that in the time he has been working there they have had maybe two or
Jared Fogle Public shunning is the act of persistently rejecting and ostracizing someone for their actions. It was a common occurrence during the Puritan times, and it affected the outcasts and the loved ones of the outcasts. Public shunning is a way to punish those who have sinned and have violated a community’s values. It has not always been as lenient as it is now. In the Puritan times, people were publicly humiliated in many ways. Some were branded, displayed on the scaffold, or simply paraded in front ot the town. The worse case for public shunning were executions in front of the whole town. In today's world, public shunning is not as harsh. It is now done by parading an outcasts’ face and sins everywhere in the world by the news and articles. One of the most recent broadcasted Shunnings is Jared Fogle.

Rejection is always hard to face. I experienced a lot of it through countless attempts to gather donations. As SCA vice president, I'm assigned the daffodil project where I must independently gather enough supplies to plant a daffodil bulb in honor of each senior graduating. It was a demanding project which required lots of patience and persistence but turned out to be a rewarding one for both myself and the school.

To vote or not to vote, that is the question. Every year thousands of people ask themselves this question for different reasons, but that is the good thing about voting, you have choices like: what to vote for, who do vote for, or not voting to save yourself from the trouble of it all. Not voting may sometimes be a responsible decision, and there are multiple reasons why.
A cartel is a gathering of formally free makers whose objective is to build their aggregate benefits by methods for value settling, constraining supply, or other prohibitive practices. Cartels normally control offering costs, yet some are sorted out to control the costs of bought inputs. Antitrust laws endeavor to prevent or disallow cartels. A solitary element that holds a syndication by this definition can't be a cartel, however it might be blameworthy of manhandling said restraining infrastructure in different ways. Cartels more often than not happen in oligopolies, where there are few dealers and for the most part include homogeneous
Throughout my life I’ve dealt with rejection many times. Usually, I’d just laugh about being rejected because I believe rejection isn’t the end of the world. For this experiment I approached two random strangers and asked if I could give them a haircut. During the day I approached my first random stranger outside of Wells hall and ask him “Excuse me sir, would you mind if I gave you a haircut right now?” He looked at me and laughed in a confused way. I asked him why he wouldn’t let me, and he asked me if I had any experience giving haircuts. When I told him I didn’t he said he didn’t trust me giving him a haircut if I’ve never given one before. A few hours later I approached someone outside of Anthony hall and asked her the same question, but
