As Franklin D. Roosevelt said in his first inaugural speech,”…The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Though the speech delivers a passionate affect towards the American public for years, it seems like it lost meaning 60 years later. The 1990’s era is one of the most significant decades of the early modern era where the general public begins to fixative their lives with technology. Upon as early as 1998, various individuals begin to ponder on what will happen to their lives as they reach the beginning of a new millennium. Many think about what new horizons await them in the year 2000, others think about the historic event in general, and others worry about how their getting home after New Year’s Eve. Many people are concerned about the sudden paranoia about the dangers of reaching the year 2000; panicking and driven with fear about what may be the end of all humanity. The Y2K Bug has driven many people to go crazy and go to extreme lengths to protect themselves because of rumors, the government, and the media itself. The role of media in covering the event has cause tensions between the common people and the government in terms of business and their safety.…
Nicole Maine a fifth-grader transgender student together with the Maine Human Rights Commission sued the Oronos’s school district in 2009 after she was forced to use the staff restroom instead of the girl’s bathroom. According to the article, the Supreme Court of Maine ruled in favor of the student, due to the school violating the “Maine Humans Rights Act’s which bans discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity “(The Mercury News, 2016). The article also mentions a very important detail regarding the ruling of this case and that is that prior to this case no state high court had ever established that a transgender person has the right to use the bathroom which they feel identifies their gender (The Mercury News, 2016).…
What Paine sees as the global significance of the American struggle for independence is human rights. Human rights here is also included the right to be free from monarchy that also means to be free from British empire. Paine insisted that, as “a membership in the British empire, was a burden to the colonies, not a benefit.” Paine believe that if we were free from British empire, “the colonies could for the first time trade freely with the entire world and insulate themselves from involvement in the endless imperial wars of Europe”(Foner 153).…

Our rights as a civilization has grown ever since its first ideas of rights. In the eighteenth century, many of today's modern rights were not even thought of. People like as the enlightenment philosophers such John Locke, Adam Smith, Voltaire and May Wollstonecraft were the ones to start questioning why everyone should be capable of having the same rights. Ideas such as the rights of men, how the people should be the ones to choose for the economy, the right to choose the religion you want, and equality for women were the main ideas that Locke, Smith, Voltaire, and Wollstonecraft had stood for.…

To start this off, I would like to tell you that the future is great. That itś some sort of golden age. Honestly, I would like to, but I can´t. In fact, the future is practically the opposite. Humanity has destroyed itself in war. Nuclear War. The war decimated the population. It also affected the environment. No, not the ¨global warming¨ idea. The creatures that humanity once knew are mutated. The remnant of Humanity from the war stay in groups and move around, Or they stay in fort-towns. We seldom go outside the walls, except to gather food and supplies. The war basically threw us all the way back to the dark ages. Well, not literally. I mean, we still have tech, education, and arsenal. But, we're not the same.…

“In the 2000s images move around the globe with ease and an instantaneous speed of transmission that was unheard of before the 1980s.” Reading this made me realize that the new generations to come will truly deal with global issues and voice their opinions in many different ways in comparison to how things were done before technology got out of hand. As technological advances are rising faster than we can keep up with, it is incredible to think how this actually effects the art world and the culture associated with it. 1970 marked the year that we dedicated a whole day to our beloved Earth due to our space race with the Soviet Union. If NASA had never transmitted the picture of Earth to Earth when they did, would there not have been an Earth Day created? The picture alone of “the blue marble” had sparked the peace movement and was a new symbol that embodied…
Amnesty International has called on the Moroccan government to cease harassing journalists who criticize the authorities or comment on issues considered “taboo”, Including the status of Western Sahara and self-determination for its inhabitants, and the monarchy, and to respect the right to freedom of expression. The organization made this call shortly after one journalist was sentenced to a six month prison term and as another faces trial on charges which appear to be politically motivated.

In The World Without Us, Alan Weisman offers an utterly original approach to questions of humanity’s impact on the planet: he asks us to envision our Earth if humans suddenly disappeared. He explains that the infrastructure placed on Earth would collapse and vanish without any human presence. He explained how everyday items may become immortalized as fossils; how copper pipes and wiring would be crushed into mere seams of reddish rock. Some of our earliest buildings might be the last architecture left and how plastic, bronze sculptures, radio waves, and some man-made molecules may be our most lasting gifts to the universe.…
