This may in fact be a direct result of no women in the vicinity. “When a Citadel attorney asked Doucet why female cadets would pose a problem on the campus, the only issue he raised was the humiliation that cadets feel if women observe the cadets’ on-campus interactions” (Faludi 104). Humiliation may be one of the strongest emotions that can alter ones character forever. However, if women were allowed in the school than humiliation would not be an issue because the men would change their ways to please women. Women posed no actual threat to the school, except the embarrassment of the cadets. Is that even a legitimate reason to prevent a girl of getting an education? Shannon was faced with more humiliation and threats than the boys in the school could ever imagine. “Then, as they turned back to the house, they saw that across the white porch columns and along the siding of the house, the words, “Bitch,” “Dyke,” “Whore,” and “Lesbo” (Faludi 94). The Citadel Cadets were criticizing Shannon Faulkner because she wanted to be accepted. It just so happens that all the terms they used all categorized her as a man. Shannon could speak, act and dress like a man but no matter what she will never be able to be fully accepted because in their minds only a man a true man is suited for the…
Man, I must say that I have been EXTREMELY busy covering these politics because it’s full of false accusations and scandals and I am trying my hardest to be honest and fair. Now my friend what I mean by false accusations and scandals is the media; both printed and social media; have a way of influence the audience into believe what they feel they want them to believe versus how I believe in what we need to be believe and deserve that (to certain circumstances). I’ll go through all that stuff and enlighten you a bit more about what I have learned this past week about it so you aren’t confused. I’m also going to talk about how hard it was to determine whether or not my stories were socially responsible, assessing the credibility of the sites I visited (which was only one really I trusted) and my awareness of how I might influence the public and or other reporters. Well my friend, now that you know what to expect, let’s just dive right into my responsibility of being fair and balance coverage.…
Yes, living alone in the wilderness like Thoreau and London sounds exciting, especially if you fake a big part of your adventures or if you can pack up and go home when you get too hungry. Chris McCandless doesn’t have these options, but Shaun Callarman believes that Chris is full of “Romantic silliness,” and by this statement I think he means that Chris goes into Alaska seeing only the good parts of the wilderness experience. Like Callarman, I believe that Chris has a head full of “Romantic ideas” and that he lacks “common sense” although I would not call him “plain crazy.”…

I went to visit the North Lake College art gallery during the Faculty Art Show. I attended this event on November 10th before I knew the assignment in this class. When seeing this was my first essay it was exciting because I already knew of a piece I vividly remembered. The art that caught my eye was the one entitle “Big Bang by Steven Benezue. The art looked like something exploded on the canvas. This one was intriguing because of all the colors the artist used.…
Nicknamed The Lone Star State, Texas is the second largest U.S state, and is bordered by the U.S states of New Mexico, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, along with four Mexican states. Early exploration in the region began with Spanish explorers Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the 1680s, the French, led by Robert Cavalier La Salle, made it to the region of Matagorda Bay, where they established a colony, but it failed to survive permanently.…

My parents advised me not to attend my local community college because it lacked a focus on creating a challenging academic environment. The obvious choice for me became Liberty University, which boasted in becoming the largest Christian university in America. With only three hours, separating me from home and many of my friends also applying there, Liberty appeared to be the best option. Despite Liberty’s many advantages, I kept looking for the perfect college.…

What is the American Dream, how do I see it. The dream gave hope and aspirations life. The dream began in the early times as plain but revolutionary notions. Back in time they seen the American dream different as we see it today Prior to watching the film I seen the American Dream as something I wanted to live by. In my eyes the dreams was having a car, a house finishing college sending my kids to college and retiring with money in the bank. I see The American dream more as a dream that everyone can be happy if the work hard for it. The "American dream" has powered the hopes and aspirations of Americans for generations after generations. It was set out to simply say each person has the right to pursue happiness and with the freedom you could strive for a better life.…

It is amazing how an isolated incident, such as the one at Colorado, can incite such a large frenzy and call for change. The scandal started with a former recruit telling his experiences during his college visit in Boulder at the University of Colorado. His stories included wild parties with unlimited amounts of alcohol and the open availability to sexual activity with the women of his choosing. The term used for these parties was "sex parties." After the recruit made his experiences public, other stories began to surface from other recruits who had similar experiences at Colorado and other schools. The situation came to a boil when a former female player accused some of her team mates of sexual assault at one of…
