Caught up in our busy lives‚ Americans tend to take things for granted and fail to appreciate the little things in life.

Personal experience with ISIS and its predecessors I deployed to Iraq as an infantry soldier on July 4‚ 2010.

In Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death” (1985)‚ he states a particular fact that “the average length of a shot on network television is 3.5 seconds‚ so that the eye never rests‚ always has something new to see.” This fact alone shows that your attention is constantly shifting and changing focus to see what else is there or what is coming next. With the coming of the internet age‚ written narrative is coming

Specifically these are words like racism‚ feminism‚ body confidence‚ preaching‚ and of course‚ sexism. How is it that the word defined as the attitudes or

In 1968 East Los Angeles High Schools Students united together and protested that libraries lacked the materials to satisfy their inquisitive minds.
