...enjoying a day off of work to come together and celebrate. But what are we really celebrating? Why is everyone so happy on such a gloomy day? How did we lose touch with what this day really means and why we as a nation recognize this across the board despite race, sex, religion or political agenda? Since when did we think that Memorial day was about our right to cook food, laugh, and get paid for not working instead of honoring the fallen heroes who gave us such a great opportunity, rather than recognize that it was a privilege. I found two poems that seem to have the same view as I do on Memorial day, as they focused on veterans and the sacrifice made by them. I believe that as a society we have lost touch with the true meaning of Memorial day, which in my opinion is a day to recognize the sacrifice made by our fallen. When I was growing up I have a very distinct memory of traveling to New Hampshire where my grandfather, a Marine, was the parade leader for the Memorial Day parade. It was a big deal to get such an honor, and even at ten years old, I knew this day was important. Now I will admit being raised in a military family with a mother and father both as Marines, a grandfather, an uncle all in the corps, with...

Then the protesters and the Chicago police started squabbling, and out of the blue, the Chicago police pulled out their revolvers and shot into the mob, killing ten of the “rebels.” This all happened...

...Lavine REL134 Monday March 9, 2015 Johnny Boudreaux Judaism Judaism considered one, if not the oldest religion in the world. A religion steeped in historical events, notable people, symbolism, with approximately 14.5M practitioners to date. Though not well known, Albert Einstein is one of the more famous, present day Jewish professionals. Born in Germany, He was the eldest of two children born to Hermann and Pauline Einstein. Mostly known for his “Theory of Relativity”, which challenged all ideas of space and time once set by Sir Isaac Newton, Albert took an early interest in science. At age five, when he was intrigued by a compass’s invisible forces, and again at age twelve, when he found a book on geometry. At sixteen, he wrote his first scientific paper titled: “The Investigation of the State of Aether in Magnetic Fields.". In which he questioned “If the light were a wave, then the light beam should appear stationary, like a frozen wave. In reality, the light beam is moving.” This paradox would dominate his thinking for the next ten years. In 1905, while working in a patent office, Einstein submitted a paper for his doctorate and had four other papers published. It was four articles that would present grant Einstein his academic recognition, and where the famous “E=mc2” equation first appeared. The physics community initially dispelled Einstein until the founder of quantum theory Max Planck, garnered his attention. Einstein’s success continued to rise equally as fast...
