    Robert Meade Research Paper

    Around one hundred fifty years ago, two superior, enemy armies faced each other outside a crossroads town in Pennsylvania. Neither army’s commander planned to battle at Gettysburg, but the assault took on a life of its own as soldiers in blue and gray rushed to the noise of bullets whizzing past them. Here, the battle would last for three days, leaving approximately 7,000 Americans dead and 30,000 wounded. The “vain and bad-tempered” (“Killer”), man Meade was ordered to take command of the Union army three days before the definitive battle, failing to eradicate Lee’s wrecked army, managing to let the army escape across the Potomac River before it could be seized, and not following through with the Henry Wager Halleck’s orders.…

    Campbell Assignment 1

    In our violent world today, the ability to protect ourselves is an important factor in our lives. Police cannot be everywhere at once and that is the reason almost all state legislatures have incorporated some kind of self-defense statute for their state. The ability to use deadly force for self-defense has saved many innocent lives over the past couple of years, but it has also taken several. This is the reason why there has been such a great controversy about the normal untrained public, which is our society, being able to make calls about using deadly force. Self- defense laws have changed over the years, but none of them have gotten as much attention as the "Stand Your Ground Statute." This law is a very controversial issue because it takes away the, "Duty to Retreat" prior to the use of deadly force for self-defense. This has raised concerns for the public who are not in favor of using deadly force in the first place. While many opponents want to abolish the "Stand Your Ground Statute", I believe that it is an essential law that should be kept in our society in order to protect the innocent people who have no other option than to exterminate the threat he/she, or the family have faced.…

    Woody Guthrie: The Influence Of Pop Culture

    In every era of American history, the population looks towards leaders of the free world and their politicians for much of the guidance and answers that they seek. But often times the lesser influences of “pop culture icons” are often overlooked. When the general masses idolized a single event, trend, or person so much, the latter can have an impact on social trends with enduring and meaningful significance. Often times a prominent musician, for example, has the power to sway the masses, and create social movements that encourage positive (or even sometimes negative) change that encompass a surrounding society. Through his Americana lyrics, and strong embrace of the American dream and spirit, Woody Guthrie has achieved a cultural and iconic status in the American landscape.…
