1) What is New Narcissism? In the text Me, Me, Me by Sarfranz Manzoor, we hear about a young 19-year-old teenage boy called Chris Crocker, who’s defending Britney Spears. He is crying and yelling at people to leave her alone. As if that wasn’t enough he puts the video on YouTube so that everyone can see it. What makes him think people care about his opinion?

On November 10th, Coach Ken Carter came to speak to the students at Radford University. I am a huge fan of the movie “Coach Carter”, and was very excited to see him in person and hear what he had to say. I was very impressed, to say the least. He started off his presentation by running down the aisles blowing a whistle. It startled me at first, but I thought it was an extremely creative opener. Since I was thoroughly involved in theatre back in high school, I couldn’t help but notice how Samuel

According to Greg Johnson Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? is a feminist allegory. I do not know if I agree or disagree with this perspective. I do not think Oates intended for the story to be a feminist allegory in any sense, but I do see why Johnson thinks that way. Connie definitely surrenders her autonomous self to Arnold’s desire and domination in the end, but that does not mean that during the whole story Connie was kissing the ground Arnold walked on. I strongly disagree that part

Fulfilling the Dream This past week our nation celebrated the 81st birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We all saw the familiar footage of him reciting his famous “I have a dream “speech at the rally for civil rights in Washington D.C. in 1963. We saw him receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. We saw him marching for voting rights in Selma, Alabama in 1965, and finally, we all witnessed his brutal death on the balcony in Memphis, Tennessee in 1968, but what we didn’t see is the many speeches

Transfer Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act are just two examples, however the technological advances brought about by these acts are still in great use today. The Electronic Funds Transfer Act or EFT was passed in 1978 and signed by President Jimmy Carter. It gave more freedom when it came to banking by making it more accessible while keeping you money safe. The standard writing of checks fell to the new wave of computerized wire transfers. Banks became a little less crowded as there was no need to

Why did Carter fail to win re-election in 1980? Carter was one of the few presidents that did not manage to win a second term in office, which was down to a number of reasons, namely for his failures on foreign policy specifically in Iran, as well as his failings on the economy and with the energy crisis. Reagan also ran a very strong campaign and managed to appeal to voters far better than Carter, as they saw that he had a clear vision, something they did not see in the president. These factors
