Trash In Our Waters Many people in today’s world wouldn’t blink twice when seeing stray trash in Washington parks or beaches. There are even some who forget that they’ve left their own trash astray and leave their wrapper or soda can alone to float elsewhere.

More attention should be brought towards the importance of properly disposing of trash and alternate

“This is the monster we know so well, the monster we have taken into our hearts and lives, the monster that makes us tremble and cheer, the monster we fear, we seek, and we have become. This is the monster made by man” (Hitchcock 3). Monsters like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein have been used on many occasions to describe people’s or societies’ self-created monsters. America, contrary to its attractive appeal, is filled with its own self-created monsters lurking in the darkness that have yet to show

the state for several months” (H). Militarization of local police forces is not uncommon, and many cities across America receive military equipment from the government. From local cities, like Santa Barbara, to ones across the country, like Richland County in South Carolina (I), law enforcement agencies across the nation have access to deadly military weapons that can be unjustly used in their communities. This availability of military equipment for law enforcement agencies is a dangerous risk that

As I conclude my final studies at San Francisco State University, this field research explores; the purpose, and effects of social control within, and among today’s American society. Furthermore, I will commence historically within the U.S., in particular within the colonial 1800’s, and how it currently continues to repress, and control certain demographics from excelling.

after moving from Iran to America for asylum. In addition to fleeing Iran due to the political climate and his family’s involvement with the Shah, Behrani is presented to the reader as the quintessential immigrant and refugee. He and his family move to San Francisco, California in order to start a new life. With very little money compared to what they were accustomed to, Behrani and his family reside in a relatively wealthy area. From Behrani’s viewpoint, he is reduced to a highway worker, as he is

Other educators, like Lori Musso, have been working on implementing the Common Core for ELL students. Musso is with the San Mateo County Office of Education and has explained that the standards for ELL, and the standards for the general curriculum, have been merged into the same standards as their peers (Avendano).

REDWOOD SHORES ECOLOGICAL RESERVE Historical/ Cultural Significance Native American period. The Costanoan/Ohlone people inhabited the San Francisco Bay area including the current site of Redwood Shores Ecological Reserve 4,000 years before the period of Spanish occupation (City of Redwood City 2003, 14-2). The Ohlone lived in the area stretching from the San Francisco Bay down to the Santa Cruz foothills (City of Redwood City 1999, 1). The Costanoans were a seminomadic people and would return

"Three Strikes and You're Out!” you think you would be hearing that phrase at a baseball game when a player has struck out but the phrase has been used as a metaphor for the three strikes law in California. It is a law that sentences repeated offenders, of serious or violent crimes, to twenty-five to life in prison. Although it seems desirable to put repeated offenders in prison, they are convicted even for petty crimes. It sentences an offender, whose first strike was a serious or violent crime

The effect of the city of Saratoga’s “slow growth” movement can be seen in this 2016 photograph of Quito Road. The widening of the road during the build-out years was abruptly halted and has remained as-is for more than 40 years. I think almost everyone is thankful to be able to drive the south end of Quito Road or to drive into Saratoga from the north by way of Saratoga’s “Heritage Lane,” which was also saved from widening. Following in the long-faded footsteps of the Sempervirens Club, the Peninsula
