Overworked. Underpaid.
Get PDFI am two people right now.
Split between a constant feeling of having a deep pit in your stomach from fear of not having finished something. Until that pit is anxiousness and for a second you have to take a few deep breaths because you know yourself.
“Shit, I forgot to eat.”
And the anxious feeling is gone because you forgot something as little as eating.
My eyes are on fire. I rub them and take another sip of coffee. I heard my friends talking about how they took Adderall to finish their papers. I was desperate and so I turned and asked my friend,
“Can you give me Tylenol and tell me its Adderall?”
“Why? I can just give you Adderall” he responded, as if what I said didn’t make sense.
His arm reached out towards me with a small pill between his fingers. For a second, I thought I may have needed it, reached out-
“What am I doing?” [excerpt
Cheating the Textbook System
Get PDFThe price of my German textbook is equal to three months of rent with utilities back home. My books for Introduction to Cultural Anthropology equal the cost of feeding my family for a whole month. But these aren’t news. American Enterprise Institute reports that the college textbook prices “are 812 percent higher than they were a little more than three decades ago.”
Some students came to Gettysburg aware of costs, so they moved into first year dorms armed with Amazon Prime memberships and accounts on sites for renting textbooks. Some looked for classes that offer cheaper (or no) textbooks in advance. Because that seems to be our only solution: to learn to shrug shoulders at the injustice and adapt because we learned that it’s normal to pay for education we’re already paying so much for. Having textbooks is considered a required part of enrolling in classes, and the sacrifice that students have to make to afford them is taken for granted. [excerpt
Earth: Un-human me
Get PDFHe took a rib from your side and made others.
So you considered Others your children, forever.
He told you to go forth and produce and multiply so you made capitalism.
He told you to go forth and conquer and pillage and mark your name and plant your flag where-ever you wanted.
So now the moon is yours. Jupiter, beware! [excerpt

Sex Trafficking in Asia: The Impact of Policy, Economic Opportunity, and Globalization
Get PDFThis paper examines the prevalence of sex trafficking in Asia and considers factors that make it stand out among other regions of the world. It explains the consequences of poorly designed policy on sex trafficking, using the Chinese One Child Policy as an example. It also looks at the lack of economic opportunity in countries like Thailand and Cambodia, that can incentivize the selling of women to traffickers. Finally, this paper considers the role of globalization in making the transport of sex trafficking victims easier as well as the effect of modern communication technologies on trafficking
Reimagining Future Sustainable, Climate-Resilient Urban Design for Apia, Samoa: Developing Plans for a Developing Nation
No full textSmall island developing states are arguably the most vulnerable, exposed nations on a global scale to the harmful effects of climate change. Particularly in Samoa, an abundance of environmental, economic, and social impacts have severe impacts on both the country as a whole as well as on an individual level. This study analyzes future mitigation strategies of land use and urban design to recreate Samoa’s capital of Apia as a more climate-resilient city to encourage economic growth and to ensure the well-being of all inhabitants. This planning is based upon current challenges of Samoa driven by climate change such as flooding, cyclone damage, and increased heat alongside adaptive capacity of the Pacific island to protect itself from the negative outcomes of climate change. Utilizing sustainable urban design, government mitigation strategies, disaster management, and education awareness Apia has great potential to improve its resilience to climate change. Qualitative data collected from personal interviews, Samoan government resources, international databases, and non-governmental organizations explained the impacts of climate change on Samoa while distributed surveys demonstrate the general public opinion of the urgency of response to climate change. Data analysis proved that there is a large disparity of climate change awareness between those formerly educated who are working in the formal economy such as government officers in comparison to unemployed individuals such as National University of Samoa (N.U.S) students. Altogether, this research presents a strong foundation for positive urban design and sustainable development adaptation to ensure a robust state of being for Apia as well as Samoa as an entity
Review: Calculus of Violence
Get PDFIt seems counterintuitive to imagine the bloodiest conflict in American history being worse, but Sheehan-Dean argues that the death toll could have been dramatically higher without both sides’ emphasis on restraint, as dictated by the laws of war. Most of the book is spent examining “how people on both sides justified the lethal violence of conflict and when, how, and why they balanced cruelty and destruction.” Despite the rules of war, however, Civil War participants, like all humans, were contradictory. Sometimes they acted instinctively and spontaneously, while at other times, their actions were the result of deeply seated ideology. The participants contradicted themselves and their responses to events continually changed. Sheehan-Dean expertly places himself in participants’ shoes to analyze the exercise and restraint of violence. [excerpt
