The speaker for tonight’s Muslims in America seminar brought a new aspect or way off thinking when it comes to how non-radical Muslims are dealing with radical Muslims. His delivery and provoking points, helped me better understand how people can convert to radical Muslim. Before attending the seminar I never considered the viewpoint or reasoning’s of terrorist.

Larry Karson, of the University of Houston’s Department of criminal justice, wrote his article about how a Grand Jury gets put together in the state of Texas. He clearly explains the process of picking the members for the Grand and Petit Jury and compares these processes with each other.

It goes into depth of how racial discrimination in the Texas juries plays a roll with the proper functioning of the juries and how this problem can be averted.

I, Roger Smith, am bringing this petition to light to portray how America treats its minorities. The irony of how America is lauded to be this liberal and free country meanwhile they forced and dragged African Americans into a life of slavery and inhumane treatment. Husbands, wives, even children are being taken away from their families by force to obey white supremacy. This is the kind of power that creates this sort of hierarchy and damages the meaning of what a liberal tradition should resemble.

In the TED talk entitled "How Augmented Reality Will Change Sports And Build Empathy," speaker Chris Kluwe discusses the immense possibilities of new technology. He explains how augmented reality will significantly impact the NFL (National Football League) because it will allow people to understand what it is like to be a football player.

Here, Kluwe is describing how people would truly be able to experience a football game with augmented reality. They would be able to understand the feeling of adrenaline that players feel out on the

Dennis P. Kimbo once said, “Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.” Despite the numerous obstacles of life, people can choose how they react. Today, many people are faced with the obstacle of life threatening diseases. By some diseases being incurable, the cloud of only having so much longer to live hangs over them. As a result, some may choose the option of euthanasia if it is available. In the contrasting pieces of writing, Kara Tippetts use of ethos about euthanasia is more convincing than Brittany Maynard use of logos.

Nat Turner: Mr. Garrison I do wish I could agree, but few of these men (looking down at Fitzhugh and calhoun) have shown no respect for god.

However, in order to shed light on our current situation, Jacoby discusses the dangers that we face though our criminal justice system a nd shows concern that imprisonment is doing more harm than good.

Defensive behavior from one party in a relationship evokes defensive behavior on the part of the other. This dynamic cycle of defensiveness can intensify as described In Gibb’s second category of defensive behavior, control in the film this is exhibited in the scene when Ben and katie return from a romantic holiday in Venice. Their first night back, they compose a cuddly letter to their two kids, who are off at camp. Within minutes, the conversation is dotted with grace notes of dissatisfaction, which grow steadily louder until they've drowned out everything else. Should Ben and Katie have sex now, or after they finish the letter? Was Katie more spontaneous in Venice? Was the vacation a charade? ''I just don't want us to get to the point,'' says Ben, ''where we can't make love unless there's a concierge downstairs.''(Reiner Rob, 2001)". The argument isn't really about sex, of course. It's

In the article “The Coddling of the American Mind,” writers Greg Lukianoff and Jonathon Haidt address today’s college campus culture of oversensitivity and how targeting microaggressions by shielding sensitive topics from students may be modeling cognitive distortions. Cognitive distortion is a way our mind twists words to convince us of something that isn’t true to reinforce negative thinking. Since college administrators changed ways to try and block out microaggressions on campus it is actually teaching students to think in distorted ways. As a result, students are learning lessons that are bad for themselves and their mental health. However, Lukianoff and Haidt believe that cognitive behavioral therapy is the next big thing to teach good
