When you see yourself living out your dream, the thought of what you're most passionate about pulls you in. Passions in one's life change based on what had affected that person. Dreams are defined to change. However, the benefits of these thoughts is that they belong to you and only you. Not one person's opinions matter but your own. Chris McCandless simply was living out his own ideal life, the way he wanted; not to the idea of his parents, his friends or of society. McCandless wanted to escape society and civilization which he felt was tying him down, while also trying to discover himself. McCandless is not by any means a wacko. He was simply defying society and its ideal expectation it holds upon us as a whole.

In March 1857, one of the most controversial events preceding the Civil War occurred. Dred Scott, and his wife had once belonged to army surgeon John Emerson, who bought him from the Peter Blow family of St. Louis. After Emerson died, the Blows apparently helped Scott sue Emerson’s widow for his freedom, but lost the case in state court. Which was because Mrs. Emerson left him with her brother John Sanford. Whose name was misspelled in court papers. He was a New York citizen. Scott sued again in federal court, claiming Missouri citizenship. Scott’s lawyers eventually appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

To begin, all of it goes back to the constitution. In article IV, there was a cause, called the fugitive slave clause, which ordered states to deliver up fugitives from labor when they are requested by slaveholders. This set the path of the country towards war.

On March 6, 1857 the U.S. Supreme Court rule against Dred Scott who was suing for federal citizenship. All nine justices agreed that African Americans who descended from slaves could not enjoy the political community established by the constitution or have the right to federal citizenship. Majority of the justices also agreed that the Missouri Compromise of 1820 which forbid slavery in the part of the Louisiana Purchase north of 36°30′ latitude was unconstitutional. Chief justice Taney stated that individual states may grant citizenship to African Americans but that did not extend their citizenship nationally under the provisions of the Constitution. Taney declared that Scott could not sue in the United States Courts since the courts were reserved

Every state should’ve been like Longtown in the America 200 years ago because Longtown was a free place for everyone no matter their color. Longtown needs to be taken care of the most because it’s the first town where race and color didn't matter.An article published by Washington Post titled “Ohio town holds rare history:Races mix freely for nearly 200 years” and a youtube video called “Vanishing Act” both explains how a town in Ohio was one of the first places to be free of discrimination. According to Washington Post, a descendant of James Clemens who brought the land for Longtown named Connor Keisser stated that in his childhood memories he used to play with cousins that had different skin colors. Longtown was the first place where there

Imagine a student-athlete gets accepted to Greenville University with a 3.5 grade point average and 30 on the ACT. The student is planning on playing soccer and has worked incredibly hard in the classroom and on the field to make this dream happen. However, the school can only offer 5,000 dollars per year in scholarships because they must offer the same 5,000 dollars to the student athlete who got a 2.0 grade point average and 16 ACT. Does this sound fair? Fair or not, this is the definition of equality. Greenville University operates on the idea of equity. Greenville University is focused on making it possible for every student to attend the university, no matter their grades, ethnicity, parent’s income or any other obstacle that may arise.

I believe most convincing argument I believe is Dr. Straus’s argument that the New Testament is similar to what the original authors wrote. Dr. Straus goes on to say that there is “highly reliable manuscript evidence”. I believe that there are a lot of historians that have researched religion and whether or not God exist. This is because religion has always been a highly researched topic, so there is always updated evidence related to the topic. Additionally, there are many people who are not just religious, but they are more curious about the history of the bible. Since, religion is still a very sensitive and controversial topic today, I believe that there will always be ongoing research on the scripture that could only strengthen the belief

Browsing curiously through the many listings on AllMyLife I came across a board game made in 1965 by a company called Pleasantime and the product named Space Checkers. The board game was easily found on Ebay and a few different variations of the same game, though the descriptions differed greatly although the same product in comparison to AllMyLife. The audience is arguably the same, though perhaps those who know about John D. Freyer and AllMyLife may bring in an audience to purchase his possessions rather than just to play an old board game. The photos on both AllMyLife and the Ebay listing both show the box as worn however the listing on Ebay shows additional photos such as a piece that was chewed on. John D. Freyers listing conveys a subjective story less about the product and more about his history with it, contrasting with the Ebay listing simply describing the product in an objective manner.

Fedor Emelianenko said this to a reporter before a fight, “Years ago we hardly had anything to eat. Now I have more money and I see every opponent as a man that is trying to put me back into that poorer period. That man has to be eliminated. He was undefeated for twenty-seven fights in a row while fighting under the Pride Fighting Championship banner. Fedor gave his full potential in everything he did. So how far can you take your full potential like him?

As a principal leads a school to become a professional learning community, the principal must lead the staff to embrace the idea of community. Previous reforms, although increasing the rigor in what was taught and how it was taught, did not build the school around the concept of being a community. However, when

The principal’s role in developing positive community relations sets the tone for communication patterns, partnership formation and/or alienation (Fiore, 2013). There are many tasks that the principal has that is important to school and community relations. Some of those are being a good listener, diplomatic and tactful and all situations. They also have to promote the open door policy to be free to communicate with students, parents, and their staff. They also have to inform the superintendent and community about good and bad things that are

9). Qualitative research performed at Central High School located in the southern United States supports Reeves assertion that collaborative planning, or a professional learning community, is a best practice that increases student achievement (Maxwell, Huggins, and Scheurich, 2010). Central High School was a mostly low-income and low-performing high school that had not met Adequate Yearly Progress from 2003-2007. The school was 87% minority, and 82% of students were economically disadvantaged (Maxwell et al., 2010). As a part of state restructuring, professional learning communities were implemented at Central High School. An instructional coach was available during the day to support teachers, and weekly professional learning community meetings were held to provide professional development on issues such as working with students in poverty, implementing cooperative strategies, and highlighting best instructional practices (Maxwell et al., 2010).
