    "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," by Ambrose Bierce, is the story of the hanging of a Civil War era Southern gentleman by the name of Peyton Farquhar. The story begins with an unidentified man being prepared to be hanged by a company of Union soldiers on a railroad bridge that runs over a river. He is then identified as Peyton Farquhar, a man who attempted to destroy the very bridge they are standing on based on information he was given by a Federal scout posing as a Confederate soldier. As he is dropped from the bridge to hang, the rope snaps and he falls into the river. After freeing himself and returning to the surface of the river, he realizes that his senses are all much heightened and he even "noted the prismatic colors in all the dewdrops upon a million blades of grass" (153). Peyton then begins to swim downstream as he is being shot at by the soldiers and a cannon as well. He soon pulls himself ashore and begins the long journey home. After walking all day and night, to the point where "his tongue was swollen with thirst" and "he could no longer feel the roadway beneath his feet" he finally makes it to his home (155). Just as he is about to embrace his wife he feels a sharp pain in his neck and hears a loud snap. He is dead from the hanging, and all this was just a dream. "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" shows the potential strength that a person's will to live can have, and that we often don't appreciate life fully until it's gone.…

    In 2011, “Adidas’ revenues amounted to $17.42 billion, while Nike leads with $21.77 billion (Barth, 2012).” Historically, Reebok, owned by Adidas, has been one of Nike’s top brand name competitors. Nike gained a large advantage over their opponent when the company took over as the NFL's exclusive maker of on-field apparel, including the players’ footwear. Nike’s new deal took effect in April of 2012, when NFL owners approved a five year exclusive uniform apparel deal with Nike. The New York Times reported that the Reebok/NFL 10 year contract “was originally worth at least $250 million to the league,” and it has most likely appreciated in value over the past decade (Barth, 2012). In an interview, retired President of Nike brand, Charlie Denson, stated, “Partnering with the NFL really puts us in a position where we can continue to fuel the growth in the United States (Bloomsburg,…

    In the article “The Good, Racist People,” Ta-Nehisi Coates discusses an event which resulted in Forest Whitaker being accused of shoplifting. What could possibly be a reason to assume Whitaker, a famous actor, had committed shoplifting? From Coates’ point of view, many others want to believe that this encounter was a misunderstanding that had nothing to do with race. Whitaker was accused of shoplifting and then was frisked, based only on his appearance. Coates then goes on to claim that the owner’s apology argued that the incident was a “‘sincere mistake’ and how the worker was a ‘decent man’ who was ‘just doing his job’ ”. (par. 3) In this quote, we are seeing an excuse trying to justify this event, for which Coates wants to believe the apology.…

    Article 19 of the ICCPR states that "[e]veryone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference" and "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression." Human beings everywhere have different opinions and views, that's one of the many things that make us all individuals. With that being said, being respectful and not crossing boundaries doesn't always turn out so ideally.
