Al Gore-Research Paper
Al Gore
Al Gore is the former Vice President of the United States, and he has been involved with the environmental activist movement for a number of decades. Al Gore is an advocate for the awareness of Global Warming and the threat it has towards life on Earth, and what realistic solutions can be implemented soon before more damage to the planet is done. Albert (Al) Arnold Gore, Jr., was born on March 31, 1948, in Washington D.C, where his father, Albert Gore, Sr. was serving as a Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives from Tennessee. His mother, Pauline Gore, was one of the first women to graduate from Vanderbilt University Law School. Gore’s only sibling was his sister, Nancy, who passed away in 1984. Gore spent most of his childhood between his family’s farm Tennessee and the Fairfax Hotel in Washington D.C. Growing up, Gore lived two very different lifestyles. When he was at home on his family’s farm, he was up early, working out in the fields. When he was in Washington D.C., being that he was living in a hotel there wasn’t much for the young Gore to do, so he attended many political events with his parents and other political figures (Biography Channel 1). Gore attended St. Albans Episcopal School for Boys in Washington. He graduated and entered Harvard University in 1965, where he was the president of the freshman council and was a messenger for the New York Times. Gore graduated Harvard cum laude in 1969 with a bachelor’s degree in Government. After Harvard, Gore enlisted in the U.S. Army, even though he was opposed to the Vietnam War. Gore served from 1969 – 1971 as a military journalist with the 20th Engineering Battalion (Biography Channel 2; Biography Reference Center 2). When Gore returned to the States in 1971, he worked as a reporter for the Tennessean. While working at the Tennessean, Gore studied philosophy and phenomenology at the School of Religion at Vanderbilt University, and in 1974 he enrolled in Vanderbilt’s law school.
