Imagine seeing an average West Valley student that uses his phone and watches television in moderation and completes his homework. Now meet Quinton Schafer, a self proclaimedself-proclaimed screen abuser. Schafer confessed to using his computer for several hours a week on a school night. His screen time doubles on weekends to about twelve hours. Since he attends West Valley High School he must also juggle school work and his athletics. The result is that he is unable to do all of this and must sacrifice time to pursue his computer habits. Not only will they consume precious time, but they do much worse. Screens are obviously not beneficial for students so encouraging students to participate in “shutdown your screen week”.…

Many in this world think that Rockefeller was a nice man because he donated to charities, some believe that he was a crooked man, who cheated his way through life. John D. Rockefeller was a successful man who started from almost nothing. He started from the bottom and worked his way to the top, but he knew the laws and he broke them. He was a true 1900s industrial robber barron.…
A male prisoner contends that California's refusal to allow male inmates to apply to the ACP violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. William Sassman is a male prisoner in the California Department of Corrections (CDCR). He applies for the Alternative Custody Program (ACP), which allows low-level offenders to reunite with their families early. Sassman, a father of two and a mother dying of colon cancer applies for ACP. He is denied by the CDCR solely on the fact that he is male. Jerry Brown writes this discrimination into law. Sassman files a lawsuit. Sassman v. Brown, 73 F. Supp. 3d 1241 (2015). Gay Grunfeld of Rosen Bien Galvan & Grunfeld LLP, lead counsel for the plaintiff states that, “Denying men the opportunity to reunite with their families entrenches harmful gender stereotypes suggesting that only women can be caregivers, and harms children by preventing them from re-establishing and furthering their relationships with their fathers.…
Bishop Long teaches Cedric how he should act and pushes him to be stronger in his faith and importance of giving to others. Bishop Long is going to make sure he can come home from Brown University for Thanksgiving break. “He said he’s going to send the money up for the trip, to make sure you come home” (Suskind 161). By Bishop Long sending cash it allows Cedric to go to Washington to see Barbara. This is teaching Cedric the important value of giving to others. Cedric after college at Brown Univeristy irregularly goes to church, as he no longer feels as connected and strong in his faith (Suskind 358). He does not get anything out of the gospel messages anymores as “he is there mostly out of obligation” (Suskind 358). Cedric still has a lot…
I think Hoagland’s main point was how America has changed for the worse over the last half of a century becoming more apathetic, large, and isolated. He tells this through what he is observed over his career of writing for the last fifty or so years. He believes that America used to be a superpower in the world and now is full of millennials to obsessed with media to care about the country or work hard.…

Benjamin Franklin is known for a variety of things and needless to say he was a man capable of accomplishing multiple things. Thus, including his first political cartoon published in May 9, 1754 in his own newspaper Pennsylvania Gazette. All controlled by himself, Franklin was not only in charge of running it, but also making sure that his points were clear. More so, especially in his “Join, or Die” picture. This broken snake was more than just a simple cartoon. It was a statement for the Americans since it spoke for its self. With the intention for us to fully understand the meaning behind his work of art.…
“Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is a short story about a man who leaves his wife to go on a journey through a forest. The controversial part about the story is whether or not Young Goodman Brown actually experiences the events that take place in the forest. While some people may believe that Young Goodman Brown does actually see everything in the forest, I believe that Nathaniel Hawthorne’s use of pathos and logos hint that they are all in his imagination.…
However, digital world and information technology, in the opinion of Turkle, not only provide us a lot of opportunities, but also pose some danger. By virtue of the latest technology the individual is constantly involved in communication, real communication, virtual and even imaginary, that endlessly expands and fills his Self (constant perception of different values, belief systems, ideas, etc.). Therefore, Identity becomes much more complex, and eventually "saturated" , “colonized” by others. Consequently, it would be logical after Grechko ask a question, whether there is actually Self under all these "strata", "layers" that came from the "outside". Hannerz suggested that the era of liquidity and diversity destroyed stagnation and brought…
On the drive home, her comment, the die is cast, gnawed at me, since it meant her alter-ego Julie Caesar had crossed the Rubicon, the point of no return. Suddenly, I’m thinking about my seventh birthday - the night my father, Arthur Samuel Scooter, became Whitney’s adversary. The evening started out great - pony rides - presents – cake – ice cream, but took a nasty turn after the guest left. That’s when my father, in a drunken stupor, decided to critique Whitney’s latest abstract ‘Two Lovers’ and slurred - the shading lacked depth, the lovers were merely stick figures, and the color of the red rose suggested faded love. However, he didn’t stop there; he verbally sliced her jugular – by reminding her that her forefathers had created…
This quote implies that those who possess more fortune and riches than others should accept what they have quietly, rather than in a boastful manner. Those in possession shouldn’t think they are any better or more-deserving than anyone below them in wealth and status. Moreover, it reflects on the overly prideful and childlike behavior of Okonkwo, in regards to his immense wealth and social standings.…
