The BCS, Bowl Championship Series, has existed in NCAA football since 1998. Created in hopes of eliminating the controversy, the BCS is set to make proper computer rankings of teams based on strength of schedule, games won, and “style” points. Style points are how bad a team has beaten another team, or how much domination the team displays over an opponent. Undefeated season from any team within a BCS conference can guarantee a spot in the National Championship game in January. The BCS conferences include the ACC, Big Ten, Big East, Pac-12, SEC, and the Big 12. All of the other conferences, represented in the NCAA, are called mid-major conferences, and they contain the MAC, WAC, Mountain West, etc. To obtain…

Ghastly murder! Revolting and mysterious murder! Dreadful mutilation of a woman! These were some of the garish newspaper headlines that petrified all England in 1888. For three months in 1888 fear and panic stalked the streets of London’s East End by a man who became known as ‘Jack the Ripper’. “My knife is nice and sharp. I want to get to work right away if get the chance,” Jack the Ripper. Due to evidence from the letters that he wrote to the authorities, Jack the Ripper didn’t only murder for fun, but he thought it as his work as seen through his…
Magazine advertisements spend millions of dollars each year in order to develop ideas to convey their message or to sell their products in today’s society. The many different views and values in society lead to various marketing ideas that capture the attention of many individuals, otherwise known as, the consumers. It is important to remember that the diverse preferences of the audience are taken into consideration when devising a marketing plan that would appeal to a wide range of people. Trojan, a company that focuses on the sale of contraceptives, spends millions of dollars each year to sell their products. In their most current advertising campaign, Trojan is trying to sell their newest brand of condom, Evolve. For this particular campaign, the marketing individuals promoting this product decided to show the differences between men and pigs by implying that men who use Trojan are considered to be true gentlemen while men who do not are regarded as pigs. While it seems that Trojan is suggesting the message of cleanliness by the usage of their condom, nonetheless, they themselves are not “clean” because of the message that they are conveying.…
I am a senior in high school and I want to take more challenging courses to complete my final year.

That is the main reason why I choose this school. Although, the Christian values the school has had something to do with it as well.…

In a world full of propaganda and corruption , the skill of artifice is valued. In order to succeed in life you must please others, either by having the same opinions or even giving others a false sense of kindness and the willingness to care. Arguably, artifice can take you places and is a great skill to obtain, even though it may seem a little unsettling to some people. Artifice is high up in the list of skills that people should obtain for themselves.…
In The Trojan War: A New History, author Barry Strauss argues for the historical authenticity of the event that was immortalized in epic poetry and song from the Archaic and Classical periods of Greece, and later Rome. Strauss keeps these epic works in mind as he digs deeper in the site of what is believed to be the ruins of once was Troy, and provides a fresh outlook on the most memorable conflict of the late Bronze Age. I will analyze and critique the work of Barry Strauss on the subject of the Trojan War as presented in his book, The Trojan War: A New History. The background of the author will be explored before beginning the journey into commenting on his abilities as a writer in discussing the format of his prose, and the historical method Strauss used in his piece. This will culminate with a brief analysis on how his evidence was presented, before concluding remarks summarizing the critical view of the book.…

Those were the first feelings to experience when the audience were watching the play "The Trojan Women”, adapted by Ellen McLaughlin from the play by Euripides; performed at the Burke Black Box Theatre in Granville, Ohio, from October 2-10, 2015. The director, the production team and the cast have done an excellent job in bringing the world of Athens and the devastated city – Troy, to the stage.…
