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.

In a world that’s “endlessly” changing, it’s only logical that those inhabiting it follow the same agenda. In Jon Krakauer’s, “Into the Wild, youngster Chris McCandless is described to have attempted to follow his own advice; the joy of life “comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon” (Krakauer 57). To the extent of seemingly necessary changes, McCandless’s philosophy is accurate.

Live reports from Wolf 2 news, reporter Lee James has full coverage of the arrest of the top terror fugitive James Knowles.

In America, many people are starting to come together and bring attention to the demand that police officer should wear body-mounted cameras these days. Police work has never been easy especially in a society that has negative attitudes towards police officers today, and their every move examined. One question that needs answering is that if police officer Darren Wilson, who shot Michael Brown had been wearing a body mounted camera, would Brown still be alive today. Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot and killed on Aug. 9, 2014, by Darren Wilson, a police officer, in Ferguson, Missouri. After Wilson made contact with Brown and told the 18-year-old to not walk in the middle of the road, the officer reportedly realized Brown was

Michael Brown’s death, whether or not it was justified, was not an isolated event. In December, Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old boy playing with a toy gun in the park, was shot by a police officer and died the next day. In July, Eric Garner, a black man, was placed in a fatal chokehold by a Staten Island police officer. Chokeholds are illegal for the NYPD. On December 3, the Staten Island grand jury case ended in a non-indictment of the police officer (Hawthorne). Some argue that these deaths were unfortunate side effects of an otherwise justice-driven police system, but others strongly believe that they are events akin to hate crimes.

On August 9, 2014 Mike Brown, an 18-year-old African American was shot and killed a by Officer Darren Wilson of the Ferguson Police Department. Mr. Brown was unarmed when he was shot and killed. The officer shots were fired when Brown allegedly reached for a gun out of the officer’s vehicle. Brown proceeded to walk towards the officer with his hands up and was killed in the act of self-defense. The officer was found not guilty, and the city reacted in a way that was positive and very much so negative. They protested and looted areas. They set buildings on fire as well as cars, and vandalized many stores of the Ferguson Community. Some felt the news, well certain news stations and or publications didn’t print the views from both sides. They

Well being a seventeen year old black female from St.Louis, there isn't much that I can't remember from the infamous Mike Brown case that shook the World. I've always been someone that's really passionate about social issues like violence in inner cities, the death penalty, women's rights when it comes to abortion, and many other things. But the thing that I'm probably most passionate about, even since I was a little girl was criminal reforms and solving the problem of there being so many Black and Hispanic young men in this country's prisons. And ultimately wanting to give young black and brown men a better image, letting the world know that they are more than just a statistic. So when Mike Brown was fatally shot, back in 2014, it really hurt

When Black Soberanis from the Robert Morris University eSports varsity team first heard that he could go to college and get a scholarship for playing video games, he said he thought it was a scam. It was hard to believe that he could join an eSports team, and get a scholarship for it. Video games being considered sports was only a fairly new thing going on, and getting a scholarship for it didn’t seem real. When Rachel Zurawski heard from her father the same news Soberanis had heard, she didn’t know what to think either. They both joined the team and was a part of the first Varsity eSports team, and they soon began to be considered real athletes while on the team. You would think that being a video game team is easy, but Alex Chapman, another

When I started this project, my thinking was ¨why would they carve croatoan and cro and not just one or the other and why carve it and not write it? So I decided to put the letters “croatoancro” in an anagram solver and one word was undefined but as two words there was raccoon taro, and the word raccoon originated from them, in Virginia which could have been a code of some sort that only John White and his family knew about and taro is a tropical asian plant which was very popular in Asia and worth many. My end theory is that an asian ship was making a voyage to the new land to try and grow the Taro plants and the ship was leaking and crash landed on Roanoke. The Asian explorers offered the chance for the colonists to come with them and live

It was a sunny July afternoon. All was silent except for a few birds singing. The silence was soon broken by the cries of a new baby boy. The time was 12:02pm and Justin Thornburg was born. July 14, 2001, was a life changing event for his proud parents Melissa and Chris Thornburg. Justin weighed a stunning 7lbs and 10.5oz. Justin was the second son of soon to be three. As time went on Justin grew and had dreams of changing the world.

I, James Ewell Brown Stewart, a proud Virginia calvary officer, cannot stand aside during this pivotal trail, one in which the life of the cold-blooded murder John Brown will be decided. The rebellion at Harpers Ferry was a treasonous act unlike any I have ever witnessed. Why should I pardon the life of a man who committed acts of great injustice, one among many being the senseless murder of man? More so, who am I to ignore the presence of stashed weapons my fellow soldiers and I uncovered within the Maryland farmhouse the accused has so secretly used as a base? I simply cannot stand for an allowance of leniency towards a man who shirks both law and moral decency in the name of treason.

The 1920s marked a time of American women’s changing gender roles. Although women gained the right to vote in 1920, legislation still controversially prohibited women from smoking. The American Tobacco Company sought to create economic opportunity by dramatically changing smoking’s illicit status. Edward Bernays, “the father of public relations,” utilized advertisements to alter the taboo against women smoking (Hinchey). In his 1920’s Torches of Freedom campaign, Bernays manipulated women's Pandora box of desires to capitalize on America's consumer culture, demonstrating an early example of how modern day advertising exploits women for corporate profit.

“We all use stereotypes,all the time, without knowing it” (Paul 1998) In “Brave Old World's” Writer for the LA Times and Hollywood reporter, Graeme McMillan, argues against the demeaning stereotypes present in Pixar films. He explains that while these films usually have a positive underlying morals they are often neglected. McMillan argues that while to some while even some stereotypes are okay to some extent, Pixar continues to employ these stereotypes. While McMillian puts forth a legitimate argument, he makes several errors in his argument by making irrational use of logic and reason, failing to provide a concrete definition of the word stereotype and utilizing informal and biased language.
