Boycotting Research Paper

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

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,

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 my written assignments and reviewing the new information learned that day in class. My father had not returned from work yet, and dinner had already come and gone. This initial idiosyncrasy, one that probably should have raised a "red flag," was glossed over as routine and ordinary. Times of tribulation and stress often expose who we truly are as individuals. They strip us of our defensive layers and reveal ourselves at the "bare bones," fundamental level. I had no idea that this telephone call (and subsequent events) would expose my true identity

When government no longer obeys the rule of law, when elected officials no longer represent (the will of the people,) when those same elected officials endorse the implementation of laws repugnant, and chilling to the very people they represent and ignore the rights of those same people, when government no longer protects or respects the property of its people, and when that government makes more decisions behind closed doors, in secret, than on the floor of the legislature, in daylight, who by law is assigned that duty; those same people have the Natural Right to "Throw-off" such a government and institute a new one, more concerned for or responsive to their needs!

My codename is TKM97, I received a warning message that stated “Due to the content on this website you have been flagged for surveillance.” I then contacted a representative was talked to someone with the codename HSAGENT1026. I want to appeal the decision to red flag me for various reasons. First I want to explain to you why I was looking up how to join Al-Qaeda. I decided to look it up because it was a curious question that I always wanted to know. I had no intention to go to the Middle East to join the terrorist organization. I do not want to perform an act of terror against the United States and I am not a safer risk when it comes to the lives of my fellow Americans. I disagree with the decision to red flag me and I want the decision to be reversed.

Madyson Pierce and Mckenzie Everhart Ms. Sutor English II December 16, 2015 I Know Why There Are Flowers In the Attic Over the past forty years, there have been banned books that have been created by some of the most famous authors that we know today including V.C. Andrews and Maya Angelou. One might wonder why a children’s book such as, Winnie the Pooh, could ever be banned? This classic book children all around the world enjoy, unfortunately can not be enjoyed in the small town of Tuszyn, Poland because Pooh is half dressed and he does not have a specific gender (Graef). The history of banning books, the process of banning books, and the reasons for banning Flowers on the Attic

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.

I believe that "peacefully resisting" laws, or protesting, can both positively and negatively impact the society. It can depend on the circumstance or the law being opposed. For example, the law that was just passed in Illinois that all pregnancy facilities have to either offer abortion or direct someone to a place that offers abortions. However, a facility in Rockford "protested" against this law, in court. This law is against the first amendment. We the people have the right for freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Not only is this law against the freedom of speech because we have the right to say what we want to say, but its against freedom of religion. There are religious facilities that disagree with abortion and it is not right to force it on them

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).

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

Literary Research Essay The novel Never Let Me Go written by Kazuo Ishiguro focuses on three characters, Kathy ,Tommy, and Ruth. The three main characters attended a boarding school called Hailsham, and were destined to become organ donors later in their adult life. As the story continue, the reader learns that they are actually clones created for just that one purpose, their organs. Once they are mature enough, their organs are harvested and the clones “complete”, or in other words, die. The author displays many different but strong themes throughout the novel.

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

We just closed out another big voting season. Voting for state questions, elected officials, and president were all on this years voting ballot. Many people had reasons, or excuses depending on how you look at it, for not voting. Voting is very important.
