While doing the walk of privilege I thought I would learn a lot about myself‚ but I really didn’t. Instead of learning I prefer to see it as I came to a realization about my life. And that was‚ that I am so very privileged‚ more then I had ever thought of before. “The Walk of Privilege” that I took in my Anth 280 class made me see how very lucky I am. While we as a class all started in the same spot‚ on the same line‚ we all ended up very far away from each other. Some of us ahead of the line‚ and

Every high school senior is given certain "privileges" that the underclassmen are not. There have been complaints about whether or not seniors should be entitled to these privileges or not.

Along with the two privileges already in place‚ I am proposing that seniors be able to leave campus during their lunch period for one semester and get lunch elsewhere. In order to do so‚ seniors would need to fill out a “Senior Off-Campus Pass” form and have it signed by their parents. However‚ if seniors abuse this privilege‚ I understand

Politicians are known for being deceitful. They use every possible means to get what they want or aim for--ethical or unethical. Based on these terms‚ Churchill was most definitely not a politician.

Race: The Difference Between Us The notion of race has been thrown around a lot recently in academic settings‚ social circles‚ and the media. From the tokenistic fallacy that President Obama’s presidency crushed the argument of so-called “racial disparities” to the incorrect clumping of whole religions into a perverse race‚ race discussions remain abundantly found in society‚ both explicitly and implicitly. But what is race? Many seem to believe that it’s a natural‚ biological occurrence. That one’s
