Loyalty is one of the ethics that is instilled in a person at a young age. Loyalty can range from loyalty to a family member, friend, teammate, ect. In Larry Watson's, Montana 1948, the summer of 1948 tests the loyalty of each character and is told through the eyes of a young boy, David. The picture was clear to David when Marie was Murdered. Through this tragic event David was able to read each family member determining whether they were loyal or whether they would betray.
Michigan is the only state in the union composed to two separated peninsulas. At the closest point, the upper and lower peninsulas are a mere five miles apart. In the early twentieth century, the only way to make the trip across the five miles of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron was to take a boat ride from one side to the other. As businesses expanded and industry grew, the demand to cross the lakes for travel and commerce purposes grew. The only way to cross the lake was by means of a ferry service, which was unable to keep up with consumer demand. Michigan residents were unable to get convenient and frequent transport between the peninsulas. They needed a consistent, fast, and safe way to travel freely from the mainland to the upper-peninsula. In response, the construction of a five-mile-long suspension bridge to link the peninsulas was set into action. The construction of the Mackinac Bridge was greatly significant to the national economy, the field of engineering, the efficiency of travel, and the historic symbolism of the state of Michigan.
Since the 1972 conception of Title IX of the Education Amendments, the number of women participating in intercollegiate athletics has increased five-fold, from fewer than 30,000, to more 150,000 in 2001. However, more than 400 men’s athletics teams have been dismantled since Title IX, the law forbidding sex discrimination at institutions receiving federal funds, became law. Some would say this is due, in part, to Title IX enforcement standards like proportionality. Proportionality requires that an institution’s athletic population must be of an equal ratio to its general student body. Among some of the 400-plus teams dismantled by Title IX are several former Colorado State University teams including wrestling, baseball, gymnastics, men’s swimming and diving, and men’s tennis. CSU student athletes no longer sport the opportunity of participating in these activities at the NCAA Division I level, and the days of the student body rooting for their ram teams are gone, possibly forever. Now the search is on to find a solution to the problems associated with Title IX if, indeed, a solution is ultimately necessary.
Bleeding Kansas The Compromise of 1850 brought relative calm to the nation. Though most blacks and abolitionists strongly opposed the Compromise, the majority of Americans embraced it, believing that it offered a final, workable solution to the slavery question. Most importantly, it saved the Union from the terrible split that many had feared. People were all too ready to leave the slavery controversy behind and move on.

Devastation was a feeling many Americans became accustomed to during the outbreak of the Civil war, but this devastation eventually evolved to be the rebirth of the United States. The numbers of casualties were tremendous, and families were torn from it, just as the nation was. There were social, economic, and political complexities that made the war seem even more impossible to resolve. Many filmmakers have tried to realistically capture these complexities in order to reveal the damaging war that preserved the United States. The accuracies can be analyzed in any film with comparisons to the film’s events, and actual events that occurred in the Civil war. One film that achieves this is Cold Mountain, which was released in 2003. It was produced by Iain Smith, and directed by Anthony Minghella, with stars in leading roles such as, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellweger. The film Cold Mountain does an acceptable job of portraying the Civil war through the role of the home guard, the roles of women, and the apparel, with few errors.
Oklahoma is located in the south central United States. Oklahoma is placed in the south, but is partially in the Great Plains by definitions of hypothetical geographical-culture regions. Oklahoma is the 20th most expanded state and also the 28th most populous out of the total 50 states in the United States. Residents living in Oklahoma are often referred to as “Oklahomans” or “okies”. A major part of Oklahoma is its capital city Oklahoma City, which is where I was born and raised. Much of the western land of Oklahoma was part of the "unassigned land" including present day Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City is Oklahoma’s largest city in the state. Oklahoma has a big population and is currently 29th among United States cities in population. A 2012 census shows the population count of Oklahoma City is 599,199 residents. Oklahoma City is ranked as the 8th largest city in the United States by its land area. Oklahoma City is also the second-largest city in the United States by land area whose government is not stabilized. Throughout my paper I will discuss and give information about Oklahoma’s history, climate, economy, and government.

While the play mainly revolves around the developing dream of Martin Luther King Jr, the course of actions displayed by Camae, the guardian angel, portrayed by actress Patrese D.

College is a time for young people to develop and grow not only in their education, but social aspects as well. One of the biggest social scenes found around college campuses are athletic events, but where would these college sports be without their dedicated athletes? Student athletes get a lot of praise for their achievements on the field, but tend to disregard the work they accomplish in the classroom. Living in a college environment as a student athlete has a great deal of advantages as well as disadvantages that affect education and anti-intellectualism.
Sports are an easy activity to participate in, which every passionate high school student hopes to get a college scholarship for. The University of Michigan scouts for well-rounded students to enroll within their school who participate in activities in and out of school. It would not matter if a high school student was on a travel soccer team, but was not on the varsity team at their high school. This is because colleges look for those who participate in sports within school and have excelling grades. Although, the University of Kansas looks for high school “graduates that participated in many activities both in and out of school” (Berkowitz). It is not whether students decide which college to attend solely by their own decision, but it is the college’s preference in whic...

Intramural sports have been around for ages and may not be as well-known as varsity sports. However, the benefits that come along with them are very significant. In the article “The Social Benefits of Intramural Sports”, Wilson says, “Student participation in intramural sports programs serves to enhance the social element of development whether the participation is individual or in groups” (Wilson 72). This phrase is very relevant to my topic, but it only displays some the good that comes from the participation of intramural sports. There is more than just developing a better and bigger social crowd. The attributes of becoming a better person, gaining many life skills, and living a better life are available everywhere in these extracurricular
