Since the beginning of slavery, leaders called on their faith to justify the immoral actions of the slave trade. These strong preachers for their communities’ strategically defined the meanings of scriptures to sway members into the ideals of North vs. South. Richard Furman and John G. Fee are historical activists using scripture to inform the community of their views. Both figures, arguments juxtaposed reveal the stark differences in their interpretations of the connection between human nature and scripture.

The literature and material that has arisen because of Steve Bartman’s life does little to tell of who he is. Bartman repeatedly declined to speak, even when it would be lucrative for himself. The infamous Steve Bartman incident occurred on October 14, 2003 with the Chicago Cubs and Florida Marlins at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. He almost caught a foul ball that controversially might have been caught by outfielder Moisés Alou and turned the tide of the game they lost 8-3. The outpouring of blame and thrown objects forced Bartman, an avid Cubs fan, to leave, and even to sequester himself in his house for protection. This has raised issues related to

There has been much controversy involving racial injustices. From the many killings by police officers of innocent and unarmed African Americans, to well recognized symbolism that may have negative connotations to some such as the Confederate flag. Many of these problems have been brought up a numerous amount of times, but never resolved. It would be a much better world if there was not any division among us. If finding solutions to these issues is a goal that is desired to be achieved, then only talking about the problem must stop, and action needs to take place. The Tillman building was built in 1894 and was formerly known as the Main Building. The name was changed in 1962 after Benjamin Tillman who was a South Carolina governor, a United

Did you know that Pat Tillman played football and went in the army.Pat Tillman is a very determined man he had a lot of mind power that took him very far in many ways. He never was a sore loser he always tried to make the worst better.

People have others that they admire like a friend, teacher, coach, or family member. The people they look up to are very important and help influence them in their lives. One influential person in my life is Jim Dunman because he is hard working, respected, and talented.

Tim O’Brien is known for sharing his life stories with the world. In many of his stories and memoirs he goes into detail about his experiences in the Vietnam War. As quoted from Tim O’Brien, “My passion[s] as a human being and as a writer intersect in Vietnam, not in the physical stuff but in the issues of Vietnam -- of courage, rectitude, enlightenment, holiness, trying to do the right thing in the world” (Chin 1062). Both of his stories Ambush and The Things They Carried are memories of what happened to and around him during the war. He goes into detail about the war and the hardships he had to face to survive. Especially in The Things They Carried he emphasizes the physical and emotional traumas the characters had to face. Tim O’Brien is an influential American author who is highly known for his memoirs and stories such as Ambush and The Things They Carried.

BEAVER DAMS (WENY) - Last fall, WENY News told you about a local church working to build a new parsonage for the pastor and his family at the Full Gospel Church Caitlin. Well, nine months later, the house is finished and the Neyman family now has a place to call home.

Elliot Ackerman was born on November 1st, 1994. He grew up in Macomb with four brothers and one sister. Elliot also has a large furry family consisting of three Dachshunds. One of his many brothers—human brothers, could not pronounce “Elliot” giving him the nickname “Yat” (to be fair, the dogs can’t pronounce it either).

Haley Esman is a wonderful person, who at 16 has already faced struggles, and created memories that will be remembered for a lifetime. She is different than the regular adolescent. Many people would describe her as queer, meaning not cisgender, heterosexual or heteromantic. She is also quite the athlete. She used to play every sport offered to her in elementary school, as well as competitive basketball. She was also offered the position of co-president of the athletics council for her grade 11 year.

The author wants me to believe that Dr. Jay Grossman is perfect and is the best dentist. I say this because even though the claim is implied, the author still provides several reasons as to why readers should choose him as their specified dentist.

In David Bartholomae’s article, he circles around the notion that students are not capable of writing like a teacher or a professor. It's his understanding that a College or High School student cannot write a paper to the standards of the teachers. If that student tries to “mimic” a teacher that said student will fail. Because that student does not have the knowledge they need to breach that gap between teacher and student.

When our discussion this morning turned to the Tillman article I agreed with my classmates who said that what Tillman's ideas were on violence against southern blacks were not right. I sympathized with those southerners who were being attacked because no one was standing up for their rights. I know things were different back then, and the "norm" was to ignore those things happening to others because they weren't happening to us. What it said in the article though was that on average over 100 African Americans were lynched each year this baffled me. I couldn't imagine these people were killed over things such as talking terms with their employee about their contracts, or even if they were completely innocent but still lynched for crimes they

In the article, “A Conversation With Tim O’Brien,” he is asked several questions on war; specifically the Vietnam war. After O’Brien was asked how a modern day soldier’s experience with war may differ than his own experience, he began to speak of how there are no more drafts like there was when he was enlisted, and then continued to answer in an appalling manner; “ There should be a law: If you support a war, you must go. And your children must go. Otherwise you’re a hypocrite and will be imprisoned for murderous hypocrisy. (Unless, of course, you support a war only to the extent that other people should die in it.)” When a person supports a war, that does not mean that they themselves should fight. If the President of the United States supports

Even though I do think government should protect us against aggression, I mostly agree with Wellman’s liberal view of what the purpose of government is. In his opinion essay David Jay Wellman tells us that purpose of government is “to ensure the well-being of its citizens by providing necessary public services that the people cannot effectively procure on their own” (Wellman 1). I think he is correct. If government wasn’t here to provide certain things who would we get these things from? For example, the government is in charge of creating welfare for all of us. If government didn’t exist it would be difficult for certain people to survive without that

A journalist is often a role of controversy. Society simplify it as documentation through writing and images but often fail to account for the physical and mental repercussions. In which Ross Baughman has evidently encountered during his documentation of the white army torturing individuals with black skin colour.
