Since race and class are largely related in the U.S., it is unreasonable to conclude that race, as opposed to class, is the causal factor in creating single-parent homes.
During the Yeezus concert, as I watched Kanye come out of a mountain, meet with “White Jesus” (an actor who came out to “bless” Kanye before his song “Jesus Walks”) or rant for 10 minutes on the various maladies in his life, I began to wonder why people are so attracted to this insecure yet talented man. Yet all of his faults could not prevent 20,000 people from screaming themselves hoarse during the concert.
A French court recently ordered several search engines, including Google and Yahoo, to de-list several known pirating sites from their search results.
Top-down regulation from the government aimed at limiting CEO compensation fails to account for the reasons why we have seen executive salaries rise so quickly in the past few decades.
I would argue that the University’s duty to favor in-state students is already strongly fulfilled through in-state tuition.
Physical textbooks provide productivity that digital textbooks cannot. This does not apply to elementary students that only use digital textbooks in class but rather to middle school, high school and college students that spend too much time on social networks.
With so many responsibilities, doesn’t the ability to choose our roommates — without conditions of sex or gender — seem consistent and fair?
It is likely that Republican candidate Mark Obenshain will demand a recount; since only 165 votes decided this election, this demand would be entirely reasonable. But there is also the possibility that after a recount Obenshain will contest the race, in which case it will be subject to review by Virginia’s General Assembly. In Virginia, a losing candidate can contest a race if there was some irregularity in the management of the election that possibly changed the election’s outcome.
I caution users of sites such as StatFuse to view its predictions skeptically, even though the site may relieve prospective college students of some of the stress of the application process.
Sometimes you feel cute, handsome, excited, silly or any other conceivable emotion, and you have a desire to capture yourself in that moment. This is neither shameful nor revolutionary.
I’m going to come right out and say it: I hate the holidays.
Eating disorders are not something to be taken lightly.
The University must assume a greater responsibility in educating a scientifically informed citizenry.
Scrapping the policy would cause a resurgence in population growth in urban areas, increasing the difficulty involved in solving problems such as famine and pollution. Part of China’s original reasoning for the policy was that uncontrolled population growth was leading to the depletion of natural resources, including land fertility for crops.
As Christmas shopping, finals and holiday travel lead to us all stressing out, it’s easy to lose track of how lucky we are as students at the University.
Natural disasters tend to affect poor areas much more than rich ones. Haiti’s poor infrastructure exacerbated the effects of the devastating 2010 earthquake that struck the country: collapsing buildings and other structures caused thousands of deaths. In contrast, the earthquake that struck California in 1989, which recorded about the same magnitude as the 2010 Haiti earthquake, killed just 63 people.
As soon as we allow for agents of the state or even citizens of our nation to exempt themselves from common laws on the basis of moral conviction, we allow each person to become, as Justice Brandeis once put it, “a law unto himself.”
Even the most worthwhile cause can be disregarded if a certain group imprudently promotes its views. Such is the case at the University of Texas at Austin, where a student club’s desire for discussion and dialogue has been overshadowed by its own idiocy.
After years of Tea Party-led trench warfare in Washington, such a message is understandably relieving for liberals looking for an opposition party willing to govern. It is Christie’s brand as a “moderate dealmaker,” however, that ultimately makes him so dangerous to everything liberals claim to value, especially to the New Deal vision of social democracy that liberals have been building for generations.
With social media providing a ready-made forum for friends and acquaintances to engage, why wouldn’t we take advantage of it?
