This year’s family vacation was one for the books. With my aunt living in Tennessee, we do not get together as often as we would like so my family decided to go to Nashville, Tennessee. When we started our trip, it was 6 a.m. and it was nothing short of fun and laughter along the way. Never having been to Tennessee before, I figured I’d enjoy the eight-hour ride of sight-seeing and laughter with my family. When we were a few miles into the trip, the mountains of Georgia were breathtaking. While I
The creators of Salt of the Earth “had a consciousness of radical activism” (Aptheker 2015). Paul Jarrico, Michael Wilson, and Herbert J. Biberman made connections between the Cold War anti-union sentiment and what was happening in the lives of the community at Hanover, New Mexico (Balthasar 353). "Salt fuses the antiracist, anti imperialist sensibility...with the central popular front icon and narrative form- the strike tale. In this sense Salt is not simply an expansion of a 1930s political aesthetic;
Georgis, Donnell, Mike, Moose For the second time in almost 4 years, over 350,000 Chicago Public School Students may not be able to go to school because of the CTU Strike that is currently in progress today (The Washington Post). The issue between the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Public Schools has not been solved yet due to disagreements about the income received. The Chicago Teachers Union has made offers to school administrations; however, the responses were not in their favor. The union
People ask all the time, “Why does the NCAA put sanctions on football programs?” When I was young, my favorite football player was Eric Dickerson. I never understood why people criticized him about his college playing days, so I asked my dad about it. He said that Dickerson’s college was given the “Death Penalty”. The Original “Death Penalty” was put into effect at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. To better understand the original question put forth, we must first define a few key

may still desire the product or service, they are not willing to pay for it. There are a variety of things that USA Today has done to avoid this status and remain different. USA Today puts forth extended efforts to keep up with social, cultural, and technological changes that continuously alter the newspaper industry (Ferrell and Hartline, 2014, p. 313). The first significant step that USA Today took was changing the paper from a 54-inch to a 50-inch width causing the paper to appear cleaner and read/handle
Chapter Two Not only did Red get on the committee, it looked like she would get voted President without even trying. She was really excited, but tried to keep her smile down to just a grin. “Shouldn’t we still vote? Just to be fair.” She tapped her toes on the floor, dancing a little jig in her seat, her plan was working almost perfectly. “All in favor of Red for president of the class committee, raise your hand.” Said Sherri smartly, raising her hand high in the air. Darrell, Gary, Pierre and
USA Today has been able to differentiate itself and stay away from the commodity status of most news sources. Commoditization is to “render a good or service widely available and interchangeable with one provided by another company” (Merriam-Webster, 2017, Para. 1). Commoditization is everywhere and it is basically results of major markets lacking any differentiation between products and services (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). When products and services are similar customers will only care about price
Sports are extremely popular around the world and only get more popular as time goes on. Sports is on television (TV), in the news, in the newspaper, and online. It only makes sense that this is the case. A sporting event is the ultimate drama. The variability of a game is what gets people so into it. Sports can tell a story, and teach great life lessons as well as inspire people. If sports are that important to the people around the world who watch it, just think about how important sports are to
