Baseball changed over time when African Americans were able to join the game of baseball in the early 1840s when the game of baseball started. Only African American were able to play the game of baseball due to segregation. Most people did not even want African Americans to play baseball in the MLB they could have their own league but,not with whites because no blacks were allowed to communicate with them. Alexander Cartwright invented the game of baseball and the U.S Congress gave African Americans created their own team named the Cuban Giants, but it really did not succeed due to the lack of attendance at the game. Jackie Robinson was the first African

In The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander is about a shocking statistic. That more African American men are in correctional facilities or on probation than were enslaved in the mid 1800s before the Civil war started. She offers her perspective on the mass incarceration of African American men in the US. Taking shots at all she holds responsible for the issues. She explores the social and systematic influence of racial stereotypes and policies that support incarceration of minorities. She explains that minorities are discriminated against legally for their whole  lives. By being denied employment, housing, education, and public benefits. Unable to overcome said obstacles most will

Ever since the days of Mesopotamia from the agricultural revolution, war has been a constant and important part of human life. Over time though, humans have evolved and gotten stronger and smarter which lead to more competition. War from its beginning, has consistently stemmed from the innate sense of evolutionary survival and subsequent competition, thus securing it’s inevitable perpetuation.

There are many different topics in the world that split people’s opinions. Some stronger than others. These views and opinions are often swayed by one’s political views, and one of the biggest topics that sparks controversy are the rights of all people. Some of the bigger groups are Black Lives Matter and feminists. While these are very big and prominent, the one that sparks the most controversy is the LGBT community, and one of the biggest claims they make is that they don’t have the same rights of marriage as straight people. The LGBT community have protests and parades to try to spread the message that homosexuals should have the same rights of

Fear has come to permeate the daily life of our generation. We have become very adept at putting on a brave face which is admirable but ill-advised. We refuse to open up or admit our fear, because we don’t want to appear weak to those around us. But every day, all of us go through the same fear. Some days are better than others of course but each and every day we have something that worries us. Something that we may work to hide, and may succeed in hiding from the world and even ourselves for a time. But it is there nonetheless. Each of us deals with stress, pain and fear that is hard for others to understand. We may not even understand it ourselves frankly.

The five most important scenes of The Scarlet Letter were first, Hester holding baby Pearl being shamed on the scaffold right in the beginning. Second, when Chillingworth found out that Dimmesdale was the man who committed adultery with Hester. Third, when Hester and Dimmesdale were in the forest talking about fleeing and living with only each other and Pearl. Fourth, in which Dimmesdale finally reveals his sin to the public as he is on death’s bed. Finally, the last most important scene of the novel, is the “happy ending” when everything gets wrapped up.

The way that people think about their ability to change and grow can impact their lives. In her book, Mindset: The new psychology of success, Carol Dweck introduces this way of viewing of the world as our mindsets. She proposes that there are two different types of mindsets: growth and fixed. People with a growth mindset see their abilities as something that can be cultivated and changed through effort. They are more willing to take chances to learn and grow.

In 2006, Carol Dweck published her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. In her book, Dweck (2016) introduced the terms fixed and growth mindset and renewed an educational mindset. A growth mindset is a thought process that can be learned and essentially means that individuals never stop learning and growing. Furthermore, individuals are in charge of their learning. Although this mindset is not limited to the education field, it is highly regarded in education, as this is a field where growth is the key element to learning.

Once fear is drawn up by the unknown, an individual will be forced through obstacles until fear is overcome. Obstacles are thrown in one’s path to get a reaction through

There are two types of mindsets or ways of thinking, either a fixed or a growth. A fixed mindset is the belief that you have a set amount of knowledge or skill that cannot be added upon. The growth mindset believes that although there may be a difference in current knowledge levels they are only representative of where you are now and not where you will always be. Being in a fixed mindset can cause someone to be prone to reject criticism and avoid challenges even to the point that they just give up when an obstacle gets in the way. However the growth mindsets find inspiration in others success and learn from criticism given.

Have you ever wondered who’s behind the little voice in your head that tells you, “You can’t do this. You do not have what it takes to make a difference, so why even try?” His name is FEAR and he plays the role of antagonist in the story of your life. You must rid yourself of FEAR, as it robs you from being your best. It keeps you from seeing the best in others. Ultimately, FEAR hinders your ability to personally grow and develop because it creates an atmos-FEAR of in-FEAR-iority.

Dr. Dweck’s concern in “What Are Mindsets” is wanting to portray the differences among a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, as well as demonstrating how a fixed mindset will set people back from expanding their intelligence and achieve their goals.

One way growth mindset is more superior than a fixed mindset is due to the ability to develop and adapt the intelligence of a person. A fixed mindset will lock you down to the "now". A study done by Dweck tested ten-year-olds with problems that were beyond their reach of knowledge. Many of the kids were excited to learn and do better the next time, but a few were upset. They felt like testing their knowledge defeated them. "In one study, after a failure on a test, they said they'll cheat next time instead of study more. In another study, they found someone who did worse than they did so they could feel better, and in
