With the introduction of “soft” money in politics, elections no longer go to the best candidate, but simply to the richer one. Soft money is defined as unregulated money that is given to the political parties that ends up being used by candidates in an election. In last year’s elections, the Republican and Democratic parties raised more than one-half of a billion dollars in soft money. Current politicians are pushing the envelope farther than any previous administrations when it comes to finding loopholes in the legal system for campaign fundraising. The legal limit that any one person can contribute to a given candidate or campaign is one thousand dollars. There is, however, no limit on the amount of money one

outside spending more than doubled from 2010 through 2014, to $486 million. In some competitive races, outside expenditures accounted for as much as two-thirds of the total. Small donors don't play a role: In most cases, fewer than 1% of all contributions are $200 or less. The average contributions are in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.” (Hiltzik) This is a clear example of what is happening in current political elections, the capacity for big money and corporations to chase their interests in the political field through money gives them a huge advantage in electing individuals who are predisposed towards their practices and beholden to them for helping them get elected. A representative government is supposed to be one that provides equal representation by all people and small groups. The current system ignores this and gives preference to small groups, but only a select

Now, if Reno was the one who was dead, y’all need to be questioning me, but I’m not trying to go to jail for killing a woman who’s going through the same thing I’m going through. We’re both the victims of Reno.”

Stacking two photographs on top of each other, Emmanuel Radnitzky’s (Man Ray) untitled work could be considered unique, but also mind-boggling. Although it’s clear that the center of focus is of an accordionist’s performance, the tubes of the accordion are a jumbled mess, the majority of the photograph is a distorted blur (Radnitzky). Since it takes great scrutiny to view individual pieces of this art, some may wonder why Man Ray challenges us with a juxtaposed style. Although it may seem disorienting, he recreates a scene of the woman’s accordion performance by overlapping two photographs to allow viewers to reanalyze the gestures humans make unconsciously. In Radiohead’s Lotus Flower, the dancer suggests that human beings are prone to

I have witnessed traumatizing events, dying men, being shot, and I went behind enemy lines 11 separate times, all for my beloved country, yet I’m branded AWOL and equated to a coward! I served the Union Army valiantly and gave it my all for 4 entire years. My hard work and dedication were immense, I took on various jobs throughout the four years. Furthermore, I served as a nurse to aid all the wounded, I was a skilled courier and a spy. I love my country for giving me refuge when times were tough, thus, I was willing to give the ultimate sacrifice to preserve it. Countless times, I was nearly killed, but I did not care because I yearned for danger and a way to contribute during the war. I, Franklin Thompson, believe I should be reinstated

Throughout photographic history, the threshold that many artists had to overcome was conveying the meaning of their photographs to the public if any at all, and the orientation of the subjects in their photography. The intent of portrait photography is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject. Nineteenth century photo historian Alan Trachtenberg notes, “Aspiring professionals wrestled with the problem: how to arrange their sitters and manipulate the often fickle medium to produce not just a picture but a pleasing one--not just a likeness but a portrait”(Trachtenberg, 24). Through these words of Trachtenberg, we can deduce that the main problem was how photographers manipulate their subjects in a way that would

In today’s society everything seems to be centered around wealth and power. Whether you go to the grocery store, gym, or even the playground; people are judging others based on how much money they have or haven’t got. Within this web of power and money lies a pretty well hidden agenda. The people behind this hidden agenda are the C.E.O’s of major corporations, billionaire businessman who use their assets to ensure that their vote matter more than those who have less than them. Today the only thing that seems to matter within politics is how much money you have or , in the case of politicians, how many wealthy people you have donating to your campaign. “This is not a democracy. This is a dollarcracy.” (Nichols & McChesney, 2013, Pg 22).

Kea and I began hooking up regularly on the weekends. He introduced me to a program at his church called “Teen Challenge”. It was hosted on Friday nights. There were some nice-looking church girls there. It kind of reminded me of Coming to America. The main reason why we were there were to plot on bitties (girls). Kea did his thing on the low.

It is now Thursday, the game was only two days ago, yet people are still talking about it. Throughout the halls you hear how great varsity played and how great Sophia was. This is mainly why she knows she is great. If it weren’t for people always venerating her, she would only think that she was alright. She sits down in her first class, science.

She knows she didn’t get the grade she should’ve, all because she didn’t go home to study the night before and she also forgot about the test until five minutes before it was handed out. She did think she would still get a good grade, since science was her best subject.
