    Unified Straightedgers Research Paper

    Ian MacKaye was interviewed by Wood to identify where the X symbol first appeared. In California, Mackaye said it was used there first as a mark to draw attention to young people who could not legally drink, but still wanted to enjoy the live punk bands performing shows in bars. Soon after this origination in the West, Mackaye said the X traveled to Washington D.C. and was originally used for the same purpose. After spreading to multiple United States scenes and throughout Canada, the straightedge culture adopted this symbol based on their value to refrain from alcohol use. As a result, the symbol unified straightedgers as a distinct subculture.…

    Flaws In Romeo And Juliet

    "Romeo and Juliet" revolves around two lovers whose love is destined for tragedy. In the Play "Romeo and Juliet", Act 2 Scene 3, Shakespeare demonstrates Romeo's impetuous, shallow and stubborn nature. These character flaws eventually lead to his tragic death and to the death of his love, Juliet. This can by shown in the passage of the Friar rebuking Romeo for his shallowness, and in the passage of the Friar ridiculing Romeo for his impulsive and stubborn act of desiring to wed Juliet, while knowing that their families will not permit their marriage.…

    a good man is hard to find

For an example, the story basically focuses on a series of events that is about a family’s road trip towards the south. The mother’s attitude is a bit rude and selfish. She does not want to go to Florida, so she tries to get her son to cancel the trip. She claims that Florida is a crime zone by saying “I wouldn’t take my children in any direction with a criminal loose in it.” To me, that sounds like an excuse and she is trying to start an argument with her son about it.…

    Wage Slavery In The Nineteenth Century

    “The next period, up until 1914, saw rising prices, corporate consolidation, and the emergence of the industrial, craft-base unionism of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) and its affiliates challenged by socialist and syndicalist opponents on the left.” (Stromquist544; Dubofsky, State 2) (Elteren p.188) In this time period of 1878-1893 the Knights of Labor made an organization known as the industrial union. This was ran at the national level, was also headed by the General Assembly. Many workers were able to join. It didn’t matter their race nor gender or ethnicity. “This union was part of a broader reform movement that pressed for a “producerist” republican society, and it supported the eight-hour day, boycotts and arbitration (rather than strikes), various political reforms (including a graduated income tax), as well as consumers’ and producers’ cooperatives.” (Elteren p.189) In 1886 the AFL was the self-appointed adversary for the Knights. They accepted locals and other people from the rival…
