Throughout this article Nash talks about why the Africans were enslaved and not the white people, how much different the Africans were than what is taught in text books, and much more. According to Nash, "the Africans had been stolen from richly complex and highly developed cultures." I tend to disagree with this statement. Reading further into his article, he mentioned that the African kings would sell people in exchange for trades with the European countries. I do not

So, I’m going to have to do to this one what I did to the first one, and again, I fully acknowledge the Plinkett reviews as a source for me to draw from. The big difference here is that while I was more than willing to give a little leeway to The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones gets no such love. Plain and simple: this movie was terrible.

links may just be talking about the approaching topic, but you would be baffled by what you actually do find. In my case the first time I searched the topic of gay marriage in this state, I was at a loss for words when the first 500 results were all against gay marriage. Such titles as “support traditional marriage” and “nogaymarriage.com” where some of the first I saw. You would have to rummage around through thousands of results before finding one moderate website that could actually tell you what

CWV101 - GCU August 26, 2013 The President’s Wife and I: A Comparison How in all of space and time can I legitimately compare myself to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, without becoming overwhelmed by the magnitude of her greatness? A comparison between her and I is ill-advised for so many reasons. I might discover that Eleanor Roosevelt is more than a million times fantastic than I am. On the other hand, I might discover that we experienced similar childhoods in regards

Over the last few decades, the recurring rape cases in India has emerged rapidly. Every day as I open the newspaper, turn to news channels on televisions or open news sites such as those of Times Of India or The Hindu or DNA, I always dread reading that piece of article which again and again stops me from stepping out of my house undeterred by the dangers of the city and the country I live in. Rape culture as a concept is not easily defined. We can maybe explain it as a high amount of occurrence

It was just another long and boring day at work. There I was, shuffling three packs of fifty-two card decks. I did that for about ten minutes, and still no casino players showed up to my Black Jack table. I didn’t expect anything else; morning shifts were usually pretty dead. Eventually, people slowly started joining the game and before I knew it, it was 6 p.m. and Karisa was already waiting outside for me. Karisa and I were best friends for ten years since high school and we carpool every
