It was interesting to see the expression of ideas through colors, music, and expressions. In scenes that expressed anger the background has clashing or bright colors and strange angles that caught character movements and…[Read more]

In many narrow-minded communities in our country, people preach rhetoric’s claiming refugees to be evil people “invading” our cou…[Read more]

I couldnt find a PDF version but anyways, this is a good book/ 5 essays that span through 95 pages of text. Its good insight for human behavior and thinking, her rhetoric can be argued for fallacies like any other; but it is interesting nonetheless and can make you question if…[Read more] -

During this time when the attorney general threatened the city, I was in town and had gone to the downtown bank to withdraw some money. When I got to the bank, located in the same…[Read more]

In many cases, immigration can be a solution to the problems found in a nation’s society, that being an excess of jobs or jobs requiring expertise that a foreigner has, and a native doesn’t or an age gap that leaves more elder…[Read more]

Harlem is a perfect example of gentrification because throughout the history of Harlem there have been big moments of gentrification that lead to the evacuation of families from houses and neighborhoods that they spent and created their l…[Read more]

This theme was evident through both the Ross family’s experience and the Hooper family. In many cases like the Hooper family, people leave segregated neighborhoods with hopes to find a new place to call home t…[Read more]

It’s always amusing to see people argue that the pain and suffering of an oppressed entity will suddenly disappear as soon as they live like a “true” American. In the history of o…[Read more]
