According to the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, there were more than 23,000 people arrested for driving under the influence in 2014. The cornerstone of many DUI cases is breath test results. Under the state’s implied consent law, the authorities may use such tests in order to determine the blood alcohol content level of motorists who they believe were drinking and driving. Overcoming the results of these tests may seem insurmountable, however, there are some situations in which breath tests may be deemed inadmissible.

portunity to move up the career ladder, financial stability, having a family, owning a car, ability to receive an education, and having freedom and equality. Is this American Dream really attainable for everyone? Some groups of American citizens seem less likely to ever achieve this dream even if they work hard. Society and their circumstances are against them either because of their race, gender or class. Women, minorities, immigrants and the poor are left out of the American Dream. They may strive for the dream, sometimes even for a number of generations, but they will only get so far because of the obstacles they face from society, specifically from the individuals who already achieved the dream. How can it be called the American Dream when many individuals cannot achieve it? Or is it called the American Dream because many will be left dreaming about it their whole lives? Many families struggle to even get close to the American Dream. In Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun”, the Younger family struggled for money, despite having numerous jobs, and a descendant living space. Being African American in the 1950’s made it difficult for the family to move up in class to achieve the American Dream. In “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry, the Younger’s cannot fully achieve the American Dream due to societal obstacles they experience based on their race when trying to obtain a good paying job, buying a house and receiving an education.

Artist and author Mary Anne Radmacher once said “I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” This quote expresses how seeing the world affects you. Two years ago I traveled to Europe with my school and that experience has dramatically changed my perspective on life.

“Oh look, it’s a terrorist!” These were the words that Yasmin Seweid confronted as white supremacists harassed her for wearing a hijab – a symbol in an aspect of her culture that they disagreed with. Someone’s perception of the world around them significantly depends on aspects of their own culture. Moreover, the cultural heritage of one individual vastly differs from that of the next; that difference is what forms the diverse viewpoints of society. In addition to shaping one’s perspective, culture sculpts the very beliefs and behavior that meld together to form a person. Instances of culture directly impacting a person’s behaviors and beliefs epitomize in Pico Iyer’s “Where Worlds Collide” and Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use”.

One may say that a neat person cleans every second of the day while a sloppy person doesn't clean up after themselves but in the article we will differentiate between the two. In the essay Neat People vs. Sloppy People, by Dave Barry he has his own opinion on the two. In the essay he says “ Neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people”, I agree with that because I am a very neat person but I am not lazy. I like my room to be cleaned a certain way and the bathroom, cleaned the certain way because if it isn't cleaned the way I clean it will make me feel like it wasn't cleaned to its full potential.

Because of this, he stumbles across an ancient city. Within the city, he finds a machine, also known as the REQUIEM, and presses a random button. He then becomes trapped to the machine and could not escape. The computer machine puts a helmet onto Malik and he becomes unconscious. His body remained at the same place for the entire story; however, his mind traveled through various places. He first traveled to a society where the citizens praise their leader, Chief Lord, for simply being their leader. He soon learns that the society is a dystopian place such that there are tyrannical groups that oversee the land for Amerika: Chief Lord, Royal Guards, and the Order Government. For example, Malik was conversing with a person named Mr. O’Reilly, when they were suddenly approached by a Royal Guard. The Royal Guard, Sergeant Dang, merely mentioned that “[he] appear[ed] to be drunk…[he’s] in violation of Martial Code #2557, under the public drunkenness ordinance.” (Custis, 2016, p. 28) He finds out about the “antagonist” Zara where Zara rebelled against the tyranny. He first met the creator of the REQUIEM world, Jean-Pierre, and
