As in the winter's cold, among the woods the mistletoe-no seed of where U grows-is green with new leaves, girdl11g the tapering stems with yellow fruit: just so the gold leaves seemed against the dark-green Hex; so, in the gentle wind, the thin gold leaf was crackling. And at once Aeneas plucks it and, eager, breaks the hesitating bough and carries it into the Sibyl's house. Meanwhile along the shore the Teucrians were weeping for Misenus, offering their final tributes to his thankless ashes.…

    Throughout history, many native tribes have been subjected to the effects of colonialism. They are often stripped of their land and resources, and are forced to adapt to a new way of life. Their cultural values and even political presence weaken as they become a mere product of acculturation. There is no doubt that the clash of two unique societies with mismatched power usually has violent and unfair outcomes. However, there have been a few cases where the effects of colonialism did not completely penetrate the ideology and lifestyle of a culture. Living proof of this is the aboriginal Kayapo Tribe of the Brazilian rainforest who stood up against pressures from the outside world in order to preserve their way of live. Even though the Kayapo are outnumbered and are disadvantaged technologically, they have still been able to coexist with Brazilian society and maintain their cultural integrity.…

    On the date of April 3, 1964, Malcolm X delivered a speech to the American public called, The Ballot or the Bullet. Throughout the speech, African-Americans were encouraged to stand up for their rights and vote. He also states that in the event of non-compliance for equality from the government, that they might need to take matters into their own hands and take up the use of arms. This came after Malcolm separated from his decade long position as spokesman for the Nation of Islam. The main goal of the speech was to motivate African-Americans to join the Civil Rights Movement and stop disfranchisement.In the beginning of Malcolms speech he states the fact that he is a Muslim though, he would not talk about religion as it was not important and would simply amount to another means of African-American separation. He continued to say that instead, emphasis would lie on an overall common ground for all African-Americans. He aimed to gain a common understanding that African-Americans should stick together regardless of religion.The name of the speech comes from the ballot to vote and the bullet to use arms if necessary, but it is also the reference of how he related a ballot and a bullet. He said, A ballot is like a bullet. You don't throw your ballots until you see a target, and if that target is not within your reach, keep your ballot in your pocket. He explained the ballot of 1964 as being the time, "When all of the white political crooks will be right back in your and my community ... with their false promises which they don't intend to keep." He further stated that the democrats lied about supporting the civil rights bill and had no real intentions of passing it, that they were simply playing games and using African-Americans as bait.Essentially in a summary of the ballot or the bullet, Malcolm stated that African-Americans must use the ballot or the bullet, they must defend themselves and push for equality, black nationalism and human rights. After voting by 137 top…

    During the period shortly after World War II, there was no better way to describe a poorly-made, cheap knock-off, mass produced item than a simple “Made in Japan” label. “Made in Japan”, in the United States at least, was not just a statement of origin for a particular product, but a judgment statement referring to its inferior quality and workmanship. Years of war with China and Russia, then later the United States and the Allies left the nation bankrupt and directionless. Manufacturing after the war was a hodgepodge of opportunists seeking quick profits from the new demand for cheap electronic parts, highly competitive companies seeking to rebuild after the devastation of war, and companies that had supported the military suddenly being commanded to re-tool and manufacture for nonmilitary uses . Although the reasons for Japan’s lackluster manufacturing performance seemed valid, for Japan, using the national identity to refer to an item as substandard was personal affront and insult, that – no matter how accurate – demanded correction.…

    Larry Gabriel is a columnist who frequently writes about topics that are in the best interest of Michiganders. Gabriel’s articles deal with an array of topics ranging from health to public parks to marijuana, and how the government and people themselves affect those topics. Gabriel often focuses on marijuana and its legalization as a common theme throughout many of his articles. Gabriel writes about marijuana activists, the DEA, medical marijuana patients, attorneys trying to keep marijuana illegal, voters, and government officials and how they are all intertwined by the fibers of marijuana and its status of legality. Gabriel addresses subtopics within the topic of marijuana such at the voters’ effects on marijuana (“Pot at the polls”)(“Pot is a winner”), the racism behind the War on Drugs (“Jim Crow’s drug war”), marijuana activists’ growing efforts for legalization (“Seeds of change”), and the confusion of marijuana on a federal level (“Marijuana and fish fries”)(“Don’t be dazed”). Gabriel creates acquiescent arguments with his diction, logic, and a balanced use of reasoning.…
