Davis County

County Clerk Kim Davis, of Rowan County, Kentucky, is in a difficult situation because she refuses to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples. Herbert W. Titus and William J. Olson have written an article about why they think she is doing the right thing not just religiously, but Constitutionally as well. They outline the reasons why the stand she is taking is her only option as a Christian and as an elected official of the United States. They begin their article by summarizing the facts of

It was a cold early morning, me, Little man, Cassie, and Stacey were walking to Great Faith elementary school and every day the white kids of Jefferson Davis County school would always ride the bus and we had to walk. We had a history test and I had some cheatin notes and I pulled my cheatin notes out in front of Stacey and Stacey asked me “Do you plan on using those notes?” “Only if I have to,” I replied “Let me see those” said. I handed the notes to her and all of a sudden she ripped them

This is my real life story of bias at UC Davis... Today I had an appointment with my upper division writing professor, Dr. Emily Foss. I met with her to review my coursework, and to address some concerns. The first part of the 20 minute meeting went fairly well. She had not taken the time to collect collect some early writing steps from us, not were we required to upload these steps online. There was also ambiguity about the due date of our last paper. All of those things were ironed out in fairly

At the start of interviewing my father, Henry, about maturing into adulthood while in college, he sat down wearing his usual thick glasses, blue starched polo shirt, fresh boot-cut jeans, and bright facial expression; he wanted to share his past with his son in hopes of teaching me lessons from his experiences. When I asked questions, he, as always, answered with much confidence. I soon came to realize that this trait was caused by his college days where he obtained self-reliance. To understand his

I was seven at the time, didn't really understand what was happening but later I found out he was deported.

Living in a household

Haunting Past I remember driving up to UC Davis on move in day. The parking lot was full of nervous and tired students. However, I was very excited, nervous, shaking, and my heart was beating a million beats per second. This was a big step for me. I was moving away from home for the first time and I was going to be on my own. I remember seeing all the dorms for the first time, they were a deep orange, olive green, and a bright yellow. Before I started to unpack, my family and I took a tour around

years of college to become a veterinarian? Well, the outlook is far too good for this job if one is a passionate about animals. After comparing The University of California, Davis, Texas A&M and the University of Arkansas based on my criteria of the strength of the program, scholarship package and tuition costs, California Davis, would be the best choice in helping me pursue a veterinary career.

Want to know a little known fact? Local government is one of the most influential factors in the American way of life, but it is not even mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. Essentially the Constitution set up national and state governments but leaves local governments out creating a gray area. This area has been filled with many different methods and types of government. One of the ideas which pertains to filling this gray area is the Tiebout model. In essence this is a model of governance through

the state of Texas. Texas has 254 counties, the most of any state. Each county is governed by a five-member Commissioners Court, which consists of a County Judge (elected at-large) and four Commissioners (elected from single-member precincts). The County Judge has no veto authority over the decisions of the Court, s/he has one vote along with the other Commissioners.
