...New York New York is like a glaring bright window in a distant view. It’s a place of sunshine. While I was exposed to various elements, my brain short-circuited and needed to be rebooted. Everything around me was moving like the speed of light, and I stood motionless in the middle of it all. The Buildings were breathtaking, and the streets filled with joy.As I explored this seemingly infinite city, I witnessed freedom at its core. While waiting anxiously for a taxi outside of JFK airport, my mind pondered the obvious differences between New York City and Greenville. The taxi driver approaches in his snazzy suit and says: “Where would you like to go?” He asked. “I would like for you to drop me off at Times Square.” I said. “ Sure!” He said....

...For my research paper, I plan to research government and political corruption in New York City and the negative impacts it had on the city. I also plan to research what was done about the corruption that weakened the city to turn it into the successful city that it has come to be in history. My research question would be what negative or positive effects did the political corruption have on New York City, and how were the people able to counteract it. My possible thesis could be: Political corruption was a widespread common attribute to United States Government following the Civil War. In New York City, the corruption displayed by political officials stunted the potential growth of the city, but would come to a demise when the people of the...

...roof to sleep under. Each night, tens of thousands of New Yorkers ask themselves this very question, and each night tens of thousands of them do not have a place to stay. In the bible, Jesus clearly tells us to care for the poor and needy. As well, in the book of Matthew, Jesus tells us of the two greatest commandments. The first is to love the Lord our God, and the second is to love our neighbors as ourselves. God did not intend for families to be on the streets each night searching for beds, therefore it is our job to care to the poor and needy and dedicate our...

...Introduction: This paper speaks about the two individuals, William Brickman and Paulo Frere’s. Even though some of their thought and view on education were different, they had some similarities. The paper will explain their birth, death, achievements and the difficulties both men faced through their journey in the field of education. Compare & Contrast William Brickman and Paulo Freire William Brickman was born on June 30, 1913 and died of Leukemia on June 22, 1988 at Philadelphia hospital. He was the founder and president of the comparative and International Education Society. Brickman attended city schools and earned his bachelor and master at the City College in New York, and his Ph.D at the University of Pennsylvania. His teaching began at City College, where he taught for over 40 years, the New York University and the University of Pennsylvania. One of his achievements as a teacher, and researcher, was in the field of education and Comparative and International Education. Brickman encouraged and published young scholars, contributed article to encyclopedia, and wrote many articles and reviews for professional journals. The opportunity to interact with people from other cultures at an early age drove him to learn their languages and pursue more into his research of comparative education (Silova & Brehm, 2010 p. 20). He held many visiting professorships and was a member of numerous committees. Brickman was different from Freire, in that he conducted more research, visited...

A BIBLIOGRAPHY is a list of sources used by the writer of a research paper, including books, encyclopedias, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, interviews, and electronic media. All the sources used are listed alphabetically. NOTE: Book titles must be either underlined: Ants or italicized: Ants. NOTE: Pay attention to spacing, capitalization and punctuation. NOTE: When more than one publication location is cited on the title page, the first city should be the one noted on your bibliopgraphy. Place of publication usually includes the Name of the City, and the abbreviation of the State: Greenwood, CT.

...for Papers To show the research that you have done for your papers, you need to cite your references. There are two predominant referencing systems: (1) footnotes/endnotes or (2) parenthetical referencing. You may use either method, but you must follow proper citation formats. Below is a basic guide for your research design bibliography and paper citations. These cover the most common types of sources, but there are dozens of variations that cannot be covered in a handout. The only way to know how to deal with these is to consult a style manual. If you do not own one, you should purchase one. There are no hard and fast rules for when to include a reference in your work. The general purpose is to allow the reader to go and find the sources that you used. So you want to give them proper “directions”. In general, if you are representing the ideas of someone else – and absolutely when you are using their exact words! – then you should include a reference. The best rule of thumb is, if you are not sure if you need a reference or not, go ahead and include it. Better to “over-cite” than to “under-cite”. NOTE: Many of your sources will likely be gathered through online databases that contain PDF or html version of printed articles. Since these articles ‘original form’ is a paper version, you should cite them as such. That is, an article from Newsweek downloaded from the library’s Academic Search Premier article database should be cited just the same as if you had the paper copy...

In 1754, Washington led Virginian forces against French at Fort Duquesne in the upper Ohio River Valley. Washington also builds Fort Necessity at Great Meadows, Pennsylvania. Washington believed in defeating the French scouting party. He achieved this on May 27 but was forced to surrender Fort Necessity after a quick battle.

Seeking military education, Washington copies many of Braddock's orders into one of his personal letterbooks.

Tyson had an abiding interest in astronomy since he was nine years old, following his visit to Pennsylvania and seeing the stars, saying "it looks like the Hayden Planetarium".[6] He obsessively studied astronomy in his teens, and eventually even gained some fame in the astronomy community by giving lectures on the subject at the age of fifteen.[7] Tyson recalls that "so strong was that imprint [of the night sky] that I'm certain that I had no choice in the matter, that in fact, the universe called me."[6] Astronomer Carl Sagan, who was a faculty member at Cornell University, tried to recruit Tyson to Cornell forundergraduate studies.[3] In an interview with writer Daniel Simone,[8] Tyson said: Interestingly, when I applied to Cornell, my application dripped of my passion for the study and research of the Universe.
