The Rest Is History

a lost path that there wouldn’t be an alternative place to go to. As humans become older, they become less dependent on those close to them. People would then feel lost and where they were living in starts to become feeling like something opposite of what they viewed their home as. In truth, all people have to do is turn back and look at all the people that helped him or her be where they are now in life whether they were good or bad. Lebron James, for example, left his hometown team in Cleveland to play for another city. Though he won several championships for the Miami Heat, he felt as though it wasn’t really where he belonged. While the people of Cleveland booed him away when James left, they were willing to take him back and the rest is history. After coming back, Lebron didn’t feel awkward anymore like he did for his older team and fitted perfect in the team system. This shows that once he started second guessing his decisions in Miami, the people that took him in first took it as an opportunity to help him find his true home by going to where the fans, as well as Lebron, thought he belonged. To most people, home is just an ordinary residence where one lives, but it is much more than that. Others look at home as a place where they look for security, happiness, and pride. Under certain circumstances,there are times where we have to consider whether we as humans really are at home or not and where should draw line between. One as well sometimes feel lost when they leave…

History majors have become somewhat of a joke these days in regards to economic and job security. However, being a history major has plenty of upsides and many people do not see the bigger picture when deciding what major they want to be.

I thought that’s what I should do even though history was always my first love. My mom, however, told me that I’d never…

I have mentioned at the beginning of the project that author has written his book from the perspective of political economy; he believes that the idea of austerity is a dangerous idea because it…

Throughout our great nation’s history, much has changed especially in the area of civil rights. Early in our history the owning of slaves was legal and was socially accepted (in fact it was a sign of a higher class), but as time went on, our nation made great progress and moved to outlaw slavery which set us on a path of freedom for all. Examining where we were, from a civil rights perspective, throughout our history can be quite fascinating. Going back to the time period of when Mark Twain…
