What is the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is the most powerful judicial body of all time. Its nine justice’s duty is meant to interpret the Constitution and draw the lines within the power. However, it has also meant that the court is also drawn in controversy and scrutiny no matter what decision has been made. 


Current members of the Supreme Court

The Justices have opinions on how well they are viewed in both the eyes of the public or the eyes of the government. Some justices enjoy their works, being able to see so much of the advantages to the fact that they had 200 years of history to guide them into decision-making processes and judgment of cases that exist today. Others view it as a curse, that they have so much power based on themselves, that if they make the wrong decision then it all falls apart. 

The Justices are usually respectful towards one another, shaking hands and listening to one another’s opinions on matters the court will judge. While many justices have opinions already set before a hearing, they are able to listen and possibly change their opinions if a proper argument is made.  However, hearing several thousand cases every year and hearing millions of oral arguments every year can also lead to some stress. This is because all work is done by the court is released and relegated to the open public. 

While it becomes a tough job the more you look at several cases, it can also become an experience of power and awe as they decide the future of the day to day life in the United States of America.

The Need for Anti-War

Image
As the Twenty-First century moves forward, advances in technology, most notable communication, have seemed to incentivize violence. An unfortunate bleak point in an otherwise really noble and sound concept of social media. But why is this? Anti-War sentiment in the US has been a thing ever since Vietnam in the 1960s and 70s, yet in order to find it in today’s media-frenzied world, you need to dig deep. Why? It is my interoperation that with the surges of conspiracy theories, anger over systems in place around the US, and the influx of violence and incitement from both civilians who are against these systems and local leaders who support these systems. As a result, I believe the masses are subject to persuasion and therefore, with mob mentality, it could perhaps lead to more violence. As propaganda pieces come out against Muslims due to the September 11 attacks, the movement to ease most history from the Civil War, strife within and against political parties and members, it appears as t

EOTO-YouTube

YouTube's Logo YouTube was founded in 2005 by former PayPal employees Chad Hurly, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. Since launching, the website has become the largest video sharing website on the planet with more than 400 hours of content upload every second. In doing so, the site has made it a path for creative minds to share thoughts, daily lives, critiques and so much more to a wide variety of consumers that otherwise would have never reached such highs. But how did this exactly happen? According to many different stories from the creators, YouTube was inspired off of either dating sites, such as Hot or Not or the Janet Jackson 2004 Super Bowl show where her accidental exposure spread like wildfire across the internet.   Chad Hurly, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim: YouTube's founders.  Due to the coding of YouTube, anyone with any type of video player could watch content from the site. Thus, the website shot up in popularity, gaining 14 million uploaded videos in less than a year. Ba

Statues Being Torn Down and Why It is Wrong

Image
Throughout most of the 21st Century, statues within the United States have been defaced, torn down and destroyed as more social unrest continues to plague the nation. While some of these statues have been relocated, I see no reason for the destruction of history. Yes, we have statues of Confederate leaders who morally were never the best of people, but that will never deny the fact that racism was a lot more prevalent back in the early creation of the county.   Furthermore, it seems now any statue is a target. The Lincoln Memorial has now been defaced, along with statues of abolishists, both figures were completely for the removal of slavery and for equal rights of African Americans. I fail to see how destroying those momentums help convey the message that racism is evil. To me, it eliminates any chance one has when it comes to learning from your history.   While many can claim that history is a boring subject and has little relevance to us in the modern-day, as time goes on, we contin
