On April 5th, 2016, I attended a Morgantown City Council meeting at City Hall on Spruce Street. The chamber is similar to a courtroom. Dark, wooden paneling with the state crest embedded into it comprises the walls, with a minty colored carpet for flooring. The desks occupied by officials are similar to podiums. The mayor sits in the front, surrounded by the city manager and city clerk. Council members sit at desks on each side of the room, facing one another. Though seating is provided, it is not
government. When the convention was over he wrote the Federalist Papers with John Jay and Alexander Hamilton. George Washington was portrayed as a man of honor and dignity. He attended the Constitutional Convention. Many people think he only banged his gavel at the convention. He did much more even though he only spoke once. The original plan was that for every 40,000 people 1 representative would be chosen. He asked them for a last-minute motion to change 40,000 to 30,000 people. This ended the silence

The media is sometimes called the “Fourth Estate” because of its influence in shaping the course of politics and public opinion. Some people are influenced by what they read or hear and others are not. There is a well-known psychological process called selective attention. Wilson, Dilulio, and Bose define it as “paying attention only to those news stories with which one already agrees.” (290) The national press can either help place new matters on the Congressional agenda or publicize matters placed
The Immortal Sceptre Within the Iliad Homer portrays through association and symbolism the sceptre as a representation of divine power. Agamemnon is the nominal owner of this sceptre, on which much emphasis is placed in the early stages of the poem. This relic, a sceptre once owned by Zeus, has a kingly and divine past and, as a result, is a symbol of authority, power, and recognition within the kingdom of Greece. Homer’s discussion of the sceptre in Books I and II serves to elucidate these characteristics

from across Area 6, I think of everything I have done to get me this far. Soon, the doors open and people begin to take their seats. The lights dim as I speak into the microphone, “The Area 6 Fall Leadership Conference is now in session.” I rap the gavel and hear the applause of hundreds of future health care professionals who I planned this conference for. For the next 12 months, I will be guiding them on their HOSA journey. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself
A rough sketch of Roanoke Island Sir Walter Raleigh was an english explorer, writer, and poet of the 16th century. In 1584, Queen Elizabeth allowed Raleigh to colonize any unknown land in the New World. He set out and eventually colonised Roanoke Island. Unfortunately, Raleigh was sent back for supplies for 3 years. When he got back, he found the colony in ruins and the word “Croatoan” carved onto one of the tree trunks. A rough picture of massachusetts as it appears on a map Massachusetts is
Proctor was accused by fearful townspeople and a justice system filled with bias and unlogical solutions rather than evidence and reason. The Court in Salem, fearful of exorcisms and witches, understands and accepts unlogical accusations by dropping the gavel on the wood and saying if they admit to being witches, let them live but if not drown them, and if they float kill them, but if they drown they are not guilty. Proctor concludes his hearing saying he is innocent, as he does not want his last name to
The gavel bang echoed within the courtroom: a treacherous teenager had just been sentenced to life in prison, keeping society safer. Trying to portray adolescents as adults, which exposes them to life in prison or even death, has been a heated topic. People argue that teenagers are not fully mature biologically, but they intend to commit crimes. While it is a fact that teenagers have underdeveloped brains and might not consider the consequences of their actions, it is crucial to acknowledge that
the United States can get a bit closer to what the founding fathers had in mind when they created our government. C-SPAN is truly a unique channel amongst the mass of today's viewing options. C-SPAN was launched March 19, 1979, "to provide live, gavel to gavel coverage of the United States House of Representatives."1, but the enterprise has been expanded beyond the original one channel and now utilizes several mediums to reach its goal. The originator of this idea of bringing government into peoples'
What is the value of one’s culture? Native culture is an integral part in a person’s life. A person consists of many different characteristics, such as personality and appearance; however, what makes a person more unique would be his own culture. Native culture is what a person grew up with and identifies him as, thus losing or forgetting it would mean losing himself. Although it is important to remain with one’s culture, many people end up losing it. This is the consequence of living in America
As soon as I was old enough to sit in the passenger seat, my dad always found ways to make each drive with him a lesson in safety, reflexes, and acting under pressure. For example, at indiscriminate moments, he would abandon the steering wheel, yelling, “Paco, steer.” “What?” I would reply. “Steer.” “How? I’m not in the driver’s seat!” “Grab the wheel and steer.” It is at this point, when to abort our present, fatal trajectory, my dad would reclaim control, not without a heavy sigh
Sculptures are used to portray specific idealizations of the artists about one subject, whether the object is a person, animal, or anything else. Sculptures are a form of art thus also a form of expression that is seen from the artists style or the composure of the sculpture. The sculpture of George Lynn Cross and the sculpture of Carl Albert both show what the artist would like the audience to focus on depending on the various attributes and characteristics of the sculpture. Art has a broad meaning
tax lawyer. This is a goal I have held near to my heart form several years. I can see myself walking into a packed court room with my Italian suit and penny loafers on. The court room grows silent as my client pleads not guilty. The judge raps his gavel and a court date is set. It is a goal that is very distant and may change, but it is one goal that I must strive for to achieve. For many teenagers this is the leading cause of failure later in life. Many people loose their focus. A wise man once said
Everyone knows about the geeks, the freaks, the jocks, the preps, and every other Hollywood idolized clique. Each person in the group donates their own similar attributes, which in turn come together to make the group what it is. In “Divergent”, different classes of people are split into ‘factions’, or, in other words, extreme cliques. These like-minded people have their opinions on how the world was corrupted. The group names and their faction missions are as follows: the Erudite (intelligence)
The meeting stated exactly at 7.30 with the bang of the Presidents gavel against his podium (he is the only one standing during the meeting). Today the senate as well as the exec board is wearing business casual clothing, only some more business than others. (One senator has on jeans??). Being the fourth time I have observed this senate, I have started to notice several patterns. The Vice President always seems to speak longer than the President. He gives a longer overview of what the exec board
