Kyrsten Sinema has been leading a life unlike many others’; going from a middle-class early childhood, to homelessness, to co-valedictorian, to practicing lawyer with a PhD, and to “Prada Socialist” in Congress. Sinema was born to an upper middle-class family in 1976. She and her two siblings were raised by both their parents in a five-bedroom house in Tucson, AZ. Her father, Dan Sinema Sr., was a lawyer and her mother, Marilyn, was a stay-at-home mom. Her father lost his job during the 1980s recession since clients were complaining about him, a Real Estate claim gone badly, and IRS debts. This was when the family went from a upper-middle-class status into debts and foreclosure.

Victoria Sandlin Professor Sharifian Government 2306-73434 15 April 2017 Sanctuary Cities Local government has been under attack lately in Texas; local control has an importance to the people attached to it that state government can’t compete with. Local control has been an effective way for getting Texas resident’s messages across to state control. The people of cities and counties greatly influence local control by advocating about the importance of certain powers, for example, fracking. Fracking has been known and proven to increase earthquakes in Texas, creating an importance to the Texan people that fracking is acknowledged and dealt with accordingly by the state government. Many are reaching out to local and state governments

In the New York Time Article by Timothy William, Inquiry to Examine Racial Bias in the San Francisco Police Department, first thing to remember known as implied social perception, implicit bias refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. Another key point of argument is that there is no systematic bias in the criminal justice base on race. To point out, in performing their policing duties, police officer are able to exercise a high degree of discretion. This means that they have a have a broad freedom to make a decision about how to act on the given situation. For this reason some police officer deliberately use their wide power of discretion and their authority to perform acts of misconduct. In this article it is generally agreed that discrimination based on racial or ethnic origin is morally wrong and a violation of the principle of impartiality. In fact impartiality principles requires that those who are equal be treated equally based on similarities, and that race not be a relevant consideration in the assessment. However, in May, District Attorney George Gascon appointed a three-judge body of distinguished jurists to look into bias in the department following a series of misconduct scandals, the most troubling being a group of police officers who were caught sending racist text messages. Now, the scope, aim, participants and timeline of the ongoing investigation have been revealed in a series

Hunter McGehee Prof. Martinez Culture & Society February 26, 2016 Film Reaction Series #2 Throughout our society, and across all cultures, there is an on-going issue of race separation, also deemed as racism or segregation. Racism, even today, still presents itself in all forms. While some may be more obvious and in-your-face about it than others, it’s happening whether you realize it or not. In the video “The Daily Show- We Can’t Breathe” we see the case of Eric Garner; a man who was choked to death on the corner of a street while causing no harm at all. After the incident, politicians, news anchors, reporters, and anyone else of relevance continued to blame the death on anything but a faulty justice system. Claims were made such as “the man out-weighed the officer” making him a natural threat, or “if the man had not had asthma and a heart condition” that this incident wouldn’t have killed him. The autopsy report states that he was killed by compression of the neck, as well as there was a complete video of the incident, showing Garner as no threat. Let’s look at another video titled “Beyoncé’s Super Bowl Performance Was a Major Political Statement — Here’s Why.” In this video, they explained Beyoncé’s halftime performance at the super bowl was a public out-bringing of the Black Lives Matter movement and was speaking to a crowd of hundreds of thousands of football fans, trying to raise awareness and display her strong support for the movement. Some people thought this was wondrous, making references to Michael Jackson and Malcom X who played tremendous historical roles, while

The concept that marriage can occur, endure, and succeed without the factor of love seems to be common in many other places in the world. “Who Needs Love! In Japan, Many Couples Don’t,” by Nicholas D.

Kyle Cooper is one of the most prominent and influential designers of both the 20th and 21st centuries. As Jon M. Gibson states, his title sequences have, “…brought attention to an art form that has long been considered an afterthought…”. With more than 150 title sequences, five Emmy nominations, the Title of Honorary Royal Designer and the winner of the AIGA medal in 2014, Cooper has become a huge affect with title designers in the 21st century. His creation of the title sequence for Se7en (1995) is what brought the limelight to Cooper, after having such a success with both the public and filmmakers all around the world. The New York Times went so far as to say that this specific title sequence was one of the most important design innovations of the 1990s. Influenced by the works of Pablo Ferro, Saul Bass, Stephen Frankfurt and Maurice Binder, Cooper’s style and designs changed the way in which title sequences for movies, series and video games are done nowadays, by evoking a revival in the importance of a meaningful and well-designed title; something that had been gradually lost in the previous decades.

On June 26, 2016, as I ran the campus of the University of Georgia on my nightly run I changed up my usual course and took some laps around the journalism building. Now I’m not a journalism student by any means. In fact I spend most of my time in Boyd Graduate Research Studies deeply engrossed in calculus, however; tonight I wanted a different scenery. The new scenery led me to the north entrance of the journalism building at the corner of Baldwin and Sanford. After straining up the gradual slope called Sanford Drive, I stopped to do lunges in the front lawn of the journalism building. As I made my way across the field I read the three words above the door, “Demoracy’s Next Generation.” Those three words resonated with me very strongly as

Every January, the American Dialect Society, gathers to select the word that best captures the spirit of the foregone year. This organization of “linguists, lexicographers, etymologists, grammarians, historians, researchers, writers, editors, students, and independent scholars” has elevated words like cyber (1994), WMD (2002), and bailout (2008) to the lofty title of Word of the Year. They conjure more than their dictionary definitions; they are imbued with a time, place, and reaction that truly reflect the societal zeitgeist. But what could capture 2014? How do you imbue the successive deaths of young black men at hands sworn to protect and serve, a justice system that acquits killers from facing trial, and the disruption of

"There's a considerable measure of boost accessible these days to make us lose our cool," says the medical specialists. The regular outrage is a major city issue where few individuals are battling about restricted assets., Yet it's much the same as some other feeling - it's your main thing with it that makes it negative or positive, solid or unfortunate.

People. Tons and tons of people. I attentively scope my surroundings as they wave their homemade signs in the air, anxiously awaiting for the person they all came here to see. The mustard-colored sun beats down on the pavement and the trees sway back and forth gracefully in the wind; the leaves just beginning to fall on this late November morning. Who knew there could be so much excitement in one place? I, however, do not wave signs. I do not cringe inside with anticipation. I do not chant, cheer, or holler. I am silent. I do not say a word. I crouch behind the dusty, worn-down fence, and think carefully of what I am about to do. Is it worth it? Will I be satisfied? What will happen to this country? The car isn’t

Imagine a small, personal office, a designer coffee on the desk. From the look of room, its’ owner has a good life. Maybe they haven’t always, but certainly now. The office is in a nice house, in a quiet neighborhood. Two cars in the garage and company van in the driveway. A walk down the hall reveals snapshots into a happy family life. A loving couple on their wedding day, the smiling faces of their five children as they throw the rice. More photos line the walls; school concerts, candid moments and family dinners. A beautiful blended unit, the American poster family for today’s society. By all accounts, they are significantly better off than the majority of humanity.
