An Hour Left The soft hissing of the snow complaining under me as I fly down the ski trail is all I can hear. Changing from heel side to toe side and back again on my snowboard I fume silently. How could my parents trust me so little? I am thirteen years old and I know how to snowboard by myself. Why do they always tell me what to do? I continue to fume as I think about the fight I had with my parents. How could they possibly think that I would stay in on a beautiful day like this and miss the foot

It was a sweet and delicate piece of bread, Ali imagine. Now it was just a stale piece of bread in a crowded trashcan that Ali and Smalls was hunting in. It wasn't exactly hunting, Ali would rather call it searching, or looting, or anything else in fact. Smalls, on the other hand called it hunting. Smalls imagine a lush forest with ancient trees that stand higher filled with the sound of scurrying squirrels looking for food, but Ali saw the bustling city with buildings that stand like mighty titans

acknowledging a cause. Social media has been described by in “someones essay” “as the government’s soft weapon”. This basically states that social media is the basis of how people access information on a certain topic. The internet is literally like an open book. You can access information everywhere. But this is where the problem arises. Does simply viewing and sharing, or re-tweeting a tweet really do something? Surely there have been tons of successful online campaigns to solve issues. For example

In today’s time we come across a vast amount of advertising using various forms such as outdoor billboards, print advertisements, TV commercials and online advertisements. Advertising is a very common means of getting customers to see one’s message, brand and product. However, it is apparent that advertising is intentionally deceptive in the sense that it tries to prey on one’s weaknesses as a human being. For example, beer commercials constantly use sex appeal with attractive women to charm men

According to a report by the Switzerland-based Small Arms Survey, the United States has about 35-50 percent of the world’s civilian-owned guns and has less than 5 percent of the world’s population. With no restriction and so much freedom, firearms can be distributed throughout the United States illegally and obtained as easy as buying it from a person, disregarding all gun laws. Implementing stricter background checks can help reduce the amount of crime relating to gun violence. It can also keep

Ever since I declared my political science major at The Ohio State University, Gun Politics has been a course I have aspired to take. While many enroll in such a course looking for an escape from the “collegiate liberal echo chamber” or as an outlet for their conservative agendas, I saw the class as an “entrance to the dark side.” My views on guns prior to the class were, I would call, polarized yet uninformed. In most of my discussions, I would cite the Australian 1996 National Firearms Agreement

With college textbooks on the rise, it is no surprise that college students are unable to purchase the appropriate textbooks for their courses or they are choosing alternative courses altogether. The cost of college textbooks has increased by an alarming amount of three times the rate of inflation, approximately 1,041 percent. The need for institutions of higher education to find ways to make textbooks more affordable to their students is stronger than ever. Unfortunately, most college and university

The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It In the computer and technology book “The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It”, the author Jonathan L. Zittrain (2008, April 20) wants to alarm us that the internet world which we think is totally open and ruled by the users all over the world is actually controlled by some particular big companies and institutions. The openness and creativity of the Internet is a double-edged sword. Under the cover of a bloomed and wonderful development, today’s

Open Source Productivity Tools that run on Windows Performers frequently describe a system of rules as being open source or free software. The term open source adverts to thing that people can change and share because of the reason that, its design is publicly approachable. This term developed in the context of software evolution to delegate a particular approach to make computer programs. Nowadays, nevertheless, open source delegates a wider set of values that we call as the open source way. Open

Shootings often cause many to reflect on gun control laws. Some wonder whether it would be better for gun control laws to be stricter so that there are less guns while others wonder if they would be safer if more people around them carried guns for self-defense. Many debate whether the second amendment protects individuals to bear arms or only the state militia to bear arms for the security of the state. In the McDonald v. Chicago case, the supreme court ruled that the right to individuals to bear
