While studying many works of literature, several themes present themselves in in-depth readings, such as the theme of otherness in Albert Camus’ “The Guest”. This story centers on a character, an outsider, who is trying to fit into the society in the story. It may not be the fact that the stranger is different in looks, culture, or language like it is in this short story, but it is just the fact that they are not the same, which causes them to be the outsider and fulfill the role of the otherness

The Olympic Games are a sporting event in which athletes from all over the world come to one city to compete in various sports.

The International Olympic Committee, a committee that organizes and relegates the modern Olympic Games, changed

With the multi-billions of dollars that the Olympics earn and spend, it’s certainly is in the best interest of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to remain under the circumstances of keeping sport open to professional athletes, not only financially, but as well as the majority of their viewers. In this position statement, I will use historic International Olympic Committee guidelines (1964) and official IOC reports as a basis for proving that professional athletes should be allowed to participate

“Napoleonic Wars” in a bid to extend the territory of France in Europe. Many historians argue that the Napoleonic Wars were a continuation of the French Revolution in 1789. The revolution brought with it many changes, especially in the production of modern mass weapons. Napoleon 's success came from his ideas of freeing Europe, massive army and leadership abilities.

The Olympic Savior The Olympics have always been a special world tradition. More than just sports, its an event with such influence and spirit that it can unify an entire world of contrasting people. In its beginnings, the event was regarded so holy that even military threats and ongoing wars would be suspended for its duration. However, the cancellation of three (including 2 consecutive) Games demonstrated that as international politics and dispute increased, the importance and significance of

The Arab Spring, starting in 2011, brought about a passion for change and democracy in the Arab world. However, there were grave consequences to the Arab Spring, including but not limited to bloody civil wars and as a result, a dramatic increase of refugees. In 2015 alone, “the IOM [International Organization for Migration] estimates that more than 464,000 migrants have crossed into Europe by sea” (Park 1). Many states that have been affected by the refugee crisis have reacted with security theatre

The creation of discourses throughout media is presumably why most Americans feel the way they do about certain migrants and their cultures. Discourses are the illusions created by actions within media to create a certain bias. They are seen throughout all global media, not just immigration.

I think that this problem is a very large problem that we have in the United States. America tends to have this problem because there are many different opinions on this topic. Some may argue that refugees should
