“Can these bones live?” (2008) by Theodore A. Harris is a three-part collage piece that overlaps the elements of historical photographs, symbols, text and ink, each in very detailed and powerful arrangements. While the individual composition of all three parts provides its own message, Harris uses repeated motifs to create a unified conversation about political corruption and social issues within the United States. When comparing the three parts of Harris’s work, the center image stands out as one of the more powerful statements and unique compositions.

Bernie Sanders and the Democratic party share similar views on many of the issues that the United States faces.

Sanders is pro choice, believes in gender and marriage equality, believes that war should be a last resort option, believes that we should continue our fight with ISIS but the majority of the work should be done by the Muslim nations and we should use coalitions and not try to do it all by ourselves, Sanders wants to make public colleges tuition and debt free, and he wants to have more taxes on the billionaire class, and make them pay their fair share. The Democratic party shares many of the same views with some
The minute immersion of reading Woody Holton’s Unruly Americans and the Origins of the Constitution takes place, the reader is quick to notice this book is written differently from most other books written about the same time. Holton, takes on the status quo in regards to how the Constitution was founded, and who was involved in the creation of the Constitution. Most students of history have been taught to believe that the Constitution was written to encourage democracy and protect civil rights. However, Holton’s arguments are different, as he claims that what advanced the Constitution was a struggle between the haves and have-nots which spiraled from a nation of excess democracy to one of less, meaning taking direct power away from the people
In this summary of "Was Darwin Wrong?" by Quammen I will explain the evidence behind the theory of evolution and evaluate each of the five categories of evidence of evolution. Darwin proved evolution in multiple ways each of which Quammen discusses. First, to prove his position, Quammen expressed the scientific evidence behind theories their strong standing in the scientific community. Quammen does this by using examples such as the atomic theory and the theory of continental drift both of which are strong beliefs in the science community. Therefore, he expressed the strength of the theory of evolution and explained how it is more than just an idea.
In addition, scientists use the homologous structure as evidence for evolution by using structures with different appearances and functions that derived from the same body parts in a common ancestor. Furthermore, natural selection is evidence for evolution because for example, when Darwin collected birds they were a closely related group of distinct species, but the different beak shapes were related to food gathering. Artificial selection is another piece of evidence for evolution in which operates by favoring individuals with certain phenotypic traits allowing them to reproduce and pass their genes to the next generation. Overall many biologists accepted Darwin’s theories but there are some objections such as how evolution is not demonstrated, no fossil intermediates, the intelligent design argument, evolution violating the second law of thermodynamics, proteins are too improbable, the irreducible complexity argument, and how natural selection does not imply
Black people have come a long way to fight for equality with people of the other color. Black has so many strong, powerful and intelligent black Americans who work so hard for them to live a better life with less racism and mediocrity.

He was an Athlete, Civil Rights Activist, Actor, Football Player, Singer, and Lawyer.
The book “Darwin’s Doubt” by Stephen C Meyer attempts to negate the negativity surrounding the theory of intelligent design by giving a creationist’s perspective on the different issues surrounding the controversy and provide an argument for the legitimacy of intelligent design from a scientific and rational viewpoint. The book is broken into three different sections part one titled “The Mystery of Missing Fossils”, part two titled “How to build an animal” and part 3 titled “After Darwin. What?” Part one of the book focuses on the lack of validation and evidence hence the name “The Mystery of Missing Fossils” and gives a very brief introduction to the problems of missing fossils, missing phyla, and just general missing validation of the evolutionary
Despite that, how many of us know a little bit of the history of cars? Well, let’s have a quick glance at some of important events and people in the history and revolution of cars. For your information, the first car was built by Karl Benz, a Germany inventor. The car built then was just a simple two stroke engine, a gasoline fueled engine (Michael MacRae, ASME.org, April 2012). Nowadays, the name Ford, is known all over the world.
Volkswagen has always had a close relationship with Porsche, the Zuffenhausen-based sports car manufacturer founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, the original Volkswagen designer and Volkswagen company co-founder, hired by Adolf Hitler for the project. The first Porsche car, the Porsche 64 of 1938, used many components from the Volkswagen Beetle. The 1948 Porsche 356 continued using many Volkswagen components, including a tuned engine, gearbox and suspension. The two companies continued their collaboration in 1969 to make the VW-Porsche 914 and Porsche 914-6.
