Our Hope For The Future By Alea Waite

The hardest part of being away from parents is not saying goodbye, but rather learning to live without them. In the verse play, The Darker Face of Earth, written by Rita Dove, an incredible author and a poet, explores all the aspects of the American history such as racial tension, civil rights, freedom, and also the topic of being motherless. Dove’s purpose was to establish that growing up without a mother means not having any guidance which affects a child’s behavior, and also leads to unfulfilled life.

In “Love & Friendship”, Whit Stilltman (“Damsels in Distress”) presents us a witty dramatization of Jane Austen’s epistolary novel ‘Lady Susan’, dated from 1871.

Change is a process that takes a lot of work and willingness to try new things.

If we want our country to have exponential hope in the future, it is imperative we teach ourselves, our children, our neighbors to respect our angels in battle gear. We as Americans have our freedoms because some gave all, we owe it to our veterans and our heros in the past to give back to them. Without them we would have nothing. America is filled with hope and prosperity, but why have all these hopes if we can’t give them to the people who gave them to us and lost all their lives for us? It is our duty to look at our history and what Americans have done to get us here, our debt to them is to take what they have given us and pave our future. Although, it cannot just be future leaders, we have to pick up all our citizens, and saviors on earth and walk shoulder to shoulder into America's strongest era. This eagle will fly, and this flag will wave; we are American and

I went to Renew U expecting to hear some nice worship songs and repetitive messages, but I was completely wrong. At Renew U, God spoke and dealt with me in such a personal manner that I now have a new revelation of who God is in my life.

Hope can be described as a feeling that one gets when they expect that something will happen. Hope is what

Recent events in the world such as the election of President Donald Trump and his ideologies regarding to how “make America great again”, the situation of the crisis of the European Union and the raising protagonist of china in the international trade; leaves an uncertainty as to where the global economy is headed. Likewise, the main discussion is no longer between a left or right political spectrum, if not the divergence of ideologies being the nationalism and globalism the protagonists. This paper summarizes and analyzes the article entitled "We Are Not the World" written by the author Greg Ip (2017), in order to delve into the context of the ideologies of globalism and nationalism respectively. As well, as the role that these ideologies

Over the past several years, many people had dreamt the American Dream as something that was something that anyone can achieve, and was the ultimate goal when living in American. However, it would seem that strong belief in the past now seems to be in question as we now live in a time where it was completely opposite of what people had thought of the American Dream in the past. Now it would seem that, according to our 44th president of the United States of America, Barack Obama, we now live in a world where it is a “continuing disaster for America’s working families…[where] the American Dream [is] in reverse.” Now, many people may discontinue that belief towards Obama, however, he is not necessary wrong. From the novel by Gish Jen, Typical

Similar to the HG Wells story, in the poem Eldorado by Edgar Allen Poe the romance genre is demonstrated through a place apart, and also demonstrates a serpent in the garden. This is demonstrated through the knight and the shadow trying to find Eldorado; a place/county that was known for having the most gold during the gold rush in 1848. In the first stanza of the poem everything seems perfect "Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow", although still when the second stanza starts the knight is in the same optimistic state; that he will eventually find Eldorado and prosper. There are still glimpses of a gloomy future, the knight is old, a shadow is growing over his heart, and he is failing his quest. The shadow that was originally

This study will define violence and non-violence in the use of social ondit0oing, socialization, and the negotiation process in The Search for a Nonviolent Future: A Promise of Peace for Ourselves, Our Families, and Our World by Michael Nagler. Nagler’s (2004) “Two-Force” Theory defines an important aspect of violence as an act of punishment and the non-violent mode of utilizing 'love' to resolve conflicts. This dichotomous relationship between violence and non-violence is part of the social condition that has dominates the mind. This form of social conditioning provides insight into the bargaining process that negotiates towards peace by reforming social values for the long-term. By negating short-term conflict, the non-violent practitioner

In his 2003 article for The Harvard Business Review titled “I.T Doesn’t Matter”, Nicholas Carr – the Executive Editor at the time, submitted to the public his views on the utility of IT in acquiring a competitive edge (Carr N. G., 2003). Carr looks at the commonly held view that the strategic value afforded by IT as a resource increases with its effectiveness and pervasiveness; a view he sees as based on a flawed premise. He posits that a resource’s value is determined by its scarcity rather than ubiquity; that having what your competitors do not puts you at an advantage. A true enough statement in any competitive marketplace, but a point easily overlooked thanks to the article’s provocative title.

On the 4th of July 1776, Congress agreed upon the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, and at that time America was recognized as a country. The Declaration of Independence discussed the rights and reasons for the 13 colonies declaring their independence. Jefferson ended the asseveration with a quote that would be forever remembered; he wrote, “All men are created equal, and that they are given certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”(Foner 197). This quote shaped the view of freedom in America, but declaring freedom is one thing, fighting for it is another. America still stood under British control, and the way to freedom was to break that chain. A war for independence, liberty, and equality broke out between the young 13 colonies and the unsurpassed

For more than a decade before the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775, tensions had been building between the colonists and the British authorities. After fighting an expensive war with the French over North America, Britain felt that they should raise funds to pay off the war debt and cover the costs of administering the colonies (Keene, 100). They began to impose a series of laws enacting taxes on and prohibiting trade with the colonists. Feeling that their liberties were threatened, many quarrels broke out between the colonists and British soldiers, but the Battles at Lexington and Concord in 1775 kicked off the armed conflict. By the following summer, the Patriots were waging a full-scale war for their independence from Britain, the American Revolution. Support for freedom grew immensely, and soon a committee was appointed to draft the Declaration of Independence, which formally announced America’s decision to declare independence from Britain in 1776. In this declaration, the most famous line states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” (Document B). After many more battles, the American Revolution ended in 1783 with the British defeat at Yorktown and the signing of the Treaty of Paris. This war was said to have caused radical change for America, but in reality, it was not as revolutionary

Instead of presenting a static Arab-American identity reliant on the past and defined through preservation of cultural heritage, Nye suggests that what it means to be Arab-American is discovered by making sense of different experiences and cultural contexts. Nye’s poetry insists on selfhood as a process of becoming and discovery. The critic Wahju Kusumajanti ponders that being both, an Arab and an American, does not indicate a state of being torn between two sides, but can be a steady and helpful position from which one can see the two sides more clearly. Nye inherits a sense of empowerment that permeates her work. She never feels fragmented because of her bicultural identities, on the contrary, she
