Crossing (2008) Film Review: Lights shine just a few yards from where you crouched clutching your bag for dear life, a blistering cold sweat trickles down your neck as you realize like an animal you 're being hunted. Murky water seeps deep into the fibers of your torn clothing while you hide among the tall marsh grass just outside your way to a better life. Cutting through the thick night air and illuminating each blade of green the lights inch closer and That 's when you feel it. A cough. The

The results of going to college the very first time vary with different people. Some people will be frightened by the way of life change, and the transition from living with family to being by their selves. On the other hand some people will be ready to move on, and to proceed with their future, and will jump at the moment to take another class that will better themselves. College will provide difficulties around every corner but will also provide the opportunities to go around those difficulties

This semester through my Archway seminar I learned many things. Not just about college but specifically about the University of Nebraska Wesleyan and how the schooling here works. The Archway seminar is designed to be an intro class into learning how to “college” and it was really an eye opener for me. Through the assignments of our active reading journals I learned how to look deeper into thing and really explore their entire meaning. Taking something simple that I read and writing about experiences

On a positive note, self-surveillance devices can also protect the innocent from unjust procedures by providing them with an alibi (Dennis, 2008, p. 353). In other words, these gadgets have the potential to safeguard us from jail time. For example, a man named Hasan Elahi was frustrated with always being detained for his appearance and mobility after the 9/11 attacks, so he decided to deal with this by using his smartphone’s map to indicate to officers the exact spot he was at during the time an

As I have learned through experience, diverse classrooms full of “windows and mirrors” are the best learning environments for me. By having different perspectives, or windows, in a classroom, it enables students to glean from various experiences. Mirrors, or similar people with similar experiences, are also important to have in a classroom setting so that students can relate to each other and feel comfortable. Over the years of my school career, I have found myself stuck seeing many windows, and

Class and Gender can Change a lot of Things Many centuries prior to the nineteenth one there has been numerous indications of the severity in horrible treatment of women, men and children. As one would look into any decent history book, their would be pages on chapters of the treatment of the civilization in them. Depending on what century one was looking into determined the good or bad treatment. However some of the most documented treatment would have to be in the nineteenth century. Thus far

Then when asked to go and get an icepack, if the educator had the belief that children should always follow directions given by adults, Ewan could again receive punishment for his actions of disobeying. This type of controlling discipline could lead to Ewan feeling resentment towards Dryden and other peers. Porter (2008) describes that with the use of this type of controlling discipline, children can

Tycianna Caldwell Reynolds ENGL 1010-0N 21 Sept. 2015 Taken for Granted: America We as individuals are very quick to only look at the bad sides of situations or the negative outcomes of things, and for this reason we are quick to overgeneralize and let one bad apple so to speak ruin the whole bunch. In life and with all things there’s always going to be pros and cons of every situation. What may be cons for some can turn out to be pros for others and benefit them. So to Ms. Michelle Cacho-Nigrete

Have you ever heard someone say "The more you say something, the more people will believe it."? My dad is infamous for this quote. When we are young we hear our influences reason that college is the worst schooling we will ever have to face. The more we hear it, the more we believe it. Eventually, as we grow up, we have friends who go off to college, and they explain it 's not as bad as we had imagined it to be, but the bad we’ve heard throughout our life outweighs the bit of good we might hear in

Trigger warnings, what are they good for? The answer like this past presidential election will surprise you! Nothing! That’s the black and white, cut and dry approach to the subject, however, it’s not such a simple topic. Trigger warnings by definition are, “a statement at the start of a piece of writing, video, etc., alerting the reader or viewer to the fact that it contains potentially distressing material.” So, essentially it’s a useful tool to weed out your more sensitive students, a great way
