Throughout time clothing has been changing from the time of cavemen when humans wore animal fur and skin to now where you see models wearing diamonds as a shirt.

Racism for the most part has been a global issue in different countries. I believe that the characteristics of being racial is feeling as if your racial group has the power of being superior to others. Just like racism, discrimination to others have been used as powerful weapons stimulating fear and hatred of others. This is usually used to peoples advantage. The next three articles I choose to compare and contrast are "When the college Madness Came to My Campus" by Charles R. Kesler, "Blacklash Develops To Campus Protests" by Melissa Korn and Douglas Belkin and "Black Tape at Harvard Law" by Randall Kennedy. These three articles are related to racism and protests in different ways but they also shared some similarities within their treatments

Many people today have their thoughts on how the Earth was created. Christians take a biblical perspective of how the universe was created by a creator. One thought that Christians believe is that God created the earth and accomplished this in six days and rested on the seventh day. This is the model of how a week is set up and the model that we currently follow. Jon W. Green states “though differences of opinion exist for various doctrinal issues within Christianity, few are more divisive than controversies surrounding the days of creation and the age of the Earth.” As stated previously many people have thoughts and are curious as to how the Earth itself came into existence. When it comes to the scientific community there

In this comparative essay, I will be comparing the short story, (1)Jose Armas’, “A Delicate Balance” and a non-fiction work, (2) Philip Ross’, “ The Boy and the Bank Officer”. These works are very interesting to read and I was able to understand the theme that each author was trying to get across to the readers. I chose these works based on their similar plot, similar characters, and their unique conclusions. These two works were also a joy to read and it was brief and to the point.

The concept of truth has changed throughout history. Many can acknowledge that the definition of truth can vary from person to person. Journalism, as a profession should accept the responsibility of printing and broadcasting the truth. It should be its main goal to obtain the accountability, transparency and to promote ethical behaviors. My comparative analysis revolves around information ethics, responsibility of spreading the truth and media transparency. The first case is about the reporter’s agreement to quote approval. Case focuses on an interview with Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin and his republican presidential contender Mitt Romney. During an Aug. 19,2012, interview with ST.

Studies have shown that many people all over the world are unaware of where their food comes from. When an individual goes to consume a food product, he or she could be completely oblivious to the methods of manufacture, processing, packaging or transportation gone into the production of the food item. It is often said that ‘ignorance is bliss’ – perhaps this rings true in the case of food, its origins and its consumption as well. In such a scenario, eating well could seem like an unlikely prospect. The definition of ‘eating well’ in modern times seems to have gone from eating healthily, to eating ethically. The manner in which food is produced and consumed has changed more rapidly in the past fifty years than it has in the previous ten

Set in 390 B.C. and 1799, Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and Benjamin Franklin’s Temple of Learning demonstrate more contrasting than similar ideas on the topic of education. The two literary works are profoundly analyzed by modern society and are part of group discussions throughout school classrooms. Each author has a specific way of getting his point across. The Allegory depicts how a prisoner gained knowledge through his own life experiences while Benjamin Franklin credits Harvard as the only institution where learning can be acquired. Plato emphasizes on giving back to the community, yet Franklin talks of

Throughout generations the human population has overlooked the importance of water. Despite the fact that we use water every day and for just about everything people seem to disregard the fact that water is a limited resource. As a result, water is being depleted at an alarmingly fast rate. In this essay, I explore the theme of water that recurred throughout modules 5,6,7 of Core 1.
