As a freshman in highschool, I had never heard of Jane Harper, or read any of her books before this. My English teacher challenged me to pick up a book and read it. Instantly, the cover caught my eye. The book looked like a very compelling novel, so I decided to read it. It just came out in September of 2016, so it is a very new book.
Donald Trump defended Republican presidential rival Ben Carson for his comments on the recent Oregon college shooting. On Wednesday, the real estate mogul jumped to the defense of Ben Carson who said he would have attempted to foil the gunman’s efforts in the Oregon college shooting. Donald Trump posted a statement on Twitter saying it was unfair to judge his GOP rival based on his comments on the incident last Thursday at Umpqua Community College, according to the New York Post (NYP). “Ben Carson was speaking in general terms as to what he would do if confronted with a gunman, and was not criticizing the victims, the NYP quotes Trump’s tweet on Wednesday.
Perception of aging and BSN core competencies discussion My perception of aging and senility were different when compared with the facts on aging pre-assessment quiz. The prevalence of individuals that have symptoms of dementia is much higher than I believed. Another misconception I had was believing elderly people were happier than younger individuals. Honestly, the thought of retiring, experiencing the freedom to spend time with loved ones, and enjoying hobbies would lead me to think elders would be happier than younger people.
He was now in the most remote area and deepest part of the Amazon rainforest, uncharted, and completely isolated from any human soul. A perfect place for Hell, he thought. Who else would come to such a Godforsaken place except himself and his intended query? Even the trees above him were incredibly tall and foreboding, blocking out the harsh sunlight from time to time, a natural blanket that gave no relief from the constant humidity and biting insects. An unseen bird cried out suddenly and that startled him for a moment.
In this week 's set of readings, Damien focuses more on his childhood and life before prison. He talks about many different life altering events such as religion and relationships. One quote that stood out to me was when he was re encountering the first time he saw Deanna. He states, "she was wearing a pair of slacks that were so tight many would call them vulgar, and a low-cut blouse one could only say matched the slacks" (Echols, 126). A little further down he continues with, "this girl who reeked of sex" (Echols, 126).
Gordon Bennet includes a representation of values, identity, history and culture into his work as he explores indigenous background through abstract art. Bennet has been influenced by his background as his mother is Aboriginal and this has carried on for generations, however his father was English. He had described his childhood as “overwhelmingly Euro-Australian, with no knowledge of my Aboriginal heritage,… My identity was shaped by the historical narratives of colonialism with all its romantic illusions and factual deletions” expressed by Gordon Bennet. (National Gallery of Victoria, 2015)
Modern day Americans have not learned how much prejudice can dictate their lives. Religious prejudice is currently at an all time high. ISIS, the Islamist militant group, grows in number every day, and so does the American fear of Islam. Donald Trump, the current top Republican candidate for the 2016 Presidential election, has a major influence over the viewpoints of Americans. Just like how Joseph McCarthy inspired an unfounded fear of Communism, Donald Trump pressures Americans to fear and discriminate against all Muslims.
In the 2 TED talks where “how autism freed me to be myself” and “Architecture needs to be for everyone” by Rosie King and Sinead Burke talk about how people should modify their perspectives on the world. Humanity has put so many labels on things like race, religion, and illnesses, too. And sometimes they can be hurtful, because they are judging someone who is or has something they don't. Take autism as an example: people call them hurtful for being “different”, for not acting like how everyone else acts like. But it’s not, it's a special quality that embraces their personality.
One stereotype talked about by Gillespie was that, “only beboppers wore beards, goatees, and other facial hair and adornments.” (Walser, 157). Gillespie had an issue with this because when he shaved it the stubble that grew back made it uncomfortable for him to play with his mouth piece (Walser, 157). Dizzy therefore decided to grow it out to prevent the mouth piece problems and he liked the fact that it attracted the women around him (Walser, 157). Another stereotype was that, “beboppers spoke mostly in slang or tried to talk like Negroes.”
On September 20, 1984, the Cosby Show made airways and forever changed the general population views on gender roles and race on television.

Annotated Bibliography Introduction: Examine different kinds of advertisements and the problem at hand with how they perpetuate stereotypes, such as; gender, race, and religion. Thesis: The problem in society today is in the industry of social media.

Like a strategy straight out of Sun Tzu 's Art Of War, Hillary Clinton is using Donald Trump 's own party against him in a brutal new campaign ad that shows even the majority of Republicans find Trump distasteful and potentially disastrous for America. This week, Donald Trump became the GOP 's presumptive presidential nominee after an embarrassing thrashing in Indiana finally caused Evangelical nut-bar Ted Cruz to accept defeat and drop out of the race, followed shortly by Ohio Governor John Kasich. With Trump the last man standing on the Republican ticket, and Clinton being the odds-on favorite for the Democrats, things are about to get real nasty along the campaign trail as both candidates gear up for the general election.

It’s amazing to see how stereo types have changed over time. Today there are many stereotypes that say that African Americans cannot swim. Dawson stated that hundreds of years ago, the stereotype was African Americans could only swim well because they were closest to animal decent (13). Now a days, there is little talk about the past, and how judgements have changed. Personally, I didn’t know about the past that African Americans were one of the best swimmers.
President Donald Trump accepts and participates in discriminating against theses diverse groups.

A leader, he is now taking on the responsibility of being President of the United States. He should be making equality for all, he should be supporting diverse groups and make them feel as if we are a united country.
