In 1964 the Wasilla-Knik Centennial Committee was created to honor the 100th anniversary of Alaska's induction into the United States. Dorothy G. Page, the chairmen of the committee, had the idea to race a portion of the Iditarod Trail. Joe Redington Sr. was the main support when he and volunteers cleared up a portion of the trail. They held their first race, known as the Iditarod Trail Seppala Memorial Race in honor of Leonhard Seppala.

Throughout Andrei Chikatilo's childhood and early adult life may have been the reason why this man became such a vicious killer. Chikatilo had an awful childhood since day one. When analyzing Chikatilo one must start at his birth. He was born with water on his brain Chikatilo like any teenage boy felt a desire for girls, because he was so insecure and shy he probably felt more comfortable with younger girls. At an early age Chikatilo felt power over younger girls between age eight and age sixteen. When Chikatilo could not get an erection it caused him anger and frustration. When looking at Chikatilo's childhood, you would have to assume that he was traumatized and a product of all the horrible events in his later years. Going through these events alone would make anyone a psychopath.

Throughout history people’s views on certain subjects have often changed, and with these changes have come disagreements.

Even so, people will still voice their opinions if it goes against one law or another in most cases. People will stand up for their beliefs when there are consequences because keeping their basic civil rights intact is more important to them than abiding by the law.

The female verse ends with a repetition of this line, portraying the soldadera as defined by her husband and her loyalty to him even in a song that’s supposed to focus on her importance and role in the war. Parallelly, the male verse begins by stating the unwavering loyalty that a husband’s wife gives him, stating, “I have my Juana, my Juana comes with me, and the campaign is going to begin” (171). The folk songs of the Mexican Revolution accentuate and hyperfixate on a woman’s loyalty to a man, which comes to dominate her narrative.
When North East Ohio Medical University sponsored a student led project, BetheBeautifulU was formed. Our campaign’s goal is to expose social media’s negative effect on teenage self-esteem due to its focus on Eurocentric standards of beauty. BetheBeautifulU’s purpose was to confront Cleveland's high school issues with self-esteem hidden within high school culture. We came up with numerous topics, like body positivity, but the one that was deeply anchored in our school was colorism. Colorism in Cleveland school districts and the media perpetuates the idea that lighter skinned people are more beautiful and most accepted compared to dark skin people. During our seminar to promote BetheBeautifulU, we asked
