My family is the one of the most important things in my life. Individuals label my family “blue collar” or working class. In economic terms, yes, my family is working the class. My father is a maintenance worker at Mack Trucks Corporation, and my mother is a corporate travel agent. Growing up I might not have had a pool, luxury cars, or a huge house. But, my parents worked full-time plus overtime to send myself, my sister and brother in private school. Not only did they work hard and love us, but

Political dissonance among GOP base may hand Trump the nomination As a general rule, policy articulation has never been the strong suite of Republican politicians. They are not called conservatives for nothing. Their belief system is rooted in the preservation of the past; and anything new or recent is seen as threatening to them.

people before they help all of the other countries. Since September 11, the United States has faced multiple attacks on the country due to terrorism from other countries. A few of these attacks include the Boston Marathon bombing, Anthrax attacks, Beltway sniper attacks, and there are many more. No one saw these attacks coming until it happened.

The Department of Education educates no one and is just another broken spoke in the great bureaucratic wheel along the D.C. Beltway that believes it knows better than parents and local school boards on how to educate your children. Their initial mission was the distribution of state subsidies.

How much can one manila envelope change something? I’m not referring to college acceptance letters, but I am talking about an official document. With my name on the front and an Illinois address in the top corner, a big change to my winter was waiting in the mailbox: two Illinois deer tags. The sound of the envelope tearing open seemed to immediately trigger some of the longest few weeks of my life. It was almost as if we were halfway to the gun range before the papers came out of the folder. The

Are Nuclear Weapons Strategically Obsolete? Why or Why not? The ongoing debate of whether or not nuclear weapons are obsolete or not is a very complex one. Numerous studies have purported that nuclear weapons no longer serve an important strategic purpose for countries such as the United States of America and Great Britain. Clausewitz stated that war and politics were inextricably linked. So the distinction between “political” and “military” viability of nuclear weapons is one without meaning. Essentially

The amount of energy it takes to produce a car can actually offset the amount of emissions emitted throughout a car's lifetime. When thinking about energy efficiency, the ultimate “green car”, the Prius, is actually one of the sources of the worse pollution in North America! (Demorro). The Toyota Prius, known as the most iconic “green” car, earns itself the most miles per gallon with the efficiency of using two engines, one of them being an electric. Controversially, the electric engine heavily relies

unincorporated community called Townson. With a population of just under 60,000 it is the second most densely populated unincorporated county seat in the United States. The community is located just north of Baltimore City, inside the I-695 and I-83 beltway and has several major neighborhood areas. In the larger area of Townson, the per capita income is about $32,000, but almost 10% of the population is below the poverty line (2010 Cenus U.S. Gazetter, 2011).

Claritas Prizm (2017) would consider Daniel to be apart of the “executive suites.” Executive suites “consist of upper-middle-class singles and couples typically living just beyond the nation's beltways.” To persuade Daniel, the core message should be that the

Jamie Wiederholt Mrs. Carson AP Literature 8 December 2015 Mark Strand Mark Strand once said, "For some of us, the less said about the way we do things the better."(Strand). In this he might have been referring to his poems. He wrote straightforward surrealistic poems about the nature of life with ambiguous speakers. It is common to see in his poems a story being told without actually telling one. In this way there is a sense of who the speaker is, who the poet is, and a peculiar train of thought
