Everyone has privilege in one way or another. People feel that privilege is give to one race more, instead of every race. The race that it’s getting more privilege is the White race and with that comes White privilege. White means the people who have a light skin color also known as Caucasian or European and privilege means an advantage over others. An example of privilege is getting away with something that someone may not get away with. So White privilege is defined as “an invisible package of unearned assets that [someone that is White] can count on cashing in each day, but about which [they were] ‘meant’ to remain oblivious” (McIntosh 1990: 1). McIntosh is saying in that quote is that Whites do not recognize that they have this privilege
The Tennessee vs. John T. Scopes trial was a high school biology teacher who went against the state of Tennessee for supposedly teaching students about the theory of evolution however, teachers were not aloud to teach this subject due to the Butler Act. This law was passed by the state of Tennessee stating, “forbidding the teaching in public schools of any theories that denied the story of creation as found in Genesis. This act was written because of the increasing alarm of many fundamentalist Christians who feared the challenge that science and evolutionary theory presented to a literal interpretation of the Bible”("The Scopes Trial, 1925."). Scopes was appointed to go against the grand jury, with the trial being highly publicized throughout

The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes, more commonly referred to as the Scopes Monkey Trial, is arguably one of the most notable trials in U.S history because it had such a significant impact on American culture. The origins of the trial sparked when Scopes violated the Tennessee’s Butler Act by teaching evolution in a school, leading to his first trial in Dayton, Tennessee, attracting a lot of press coverage and the attention of the famous Clarence Darrow, who would later become the defendant that epitomized urban society. The prosecutor, William Jennings Bryan had the conviction to actively dispute and dismiss Darwin’s theory of evolution from schools in America, making him the optimal prosecutor to defend the rural values of the Christian

“I have three children,his sister Chloe his brother Anothony, but now I have 15 or 17 new children that I didn’t give birth to but I am going to welcome all these boys — young men,” she said of the Brothers United members.
Alex Kotlowitz was a freelance journalist. In 1985 a friend came to him and asked him to write a text for a photo essay he was doing on (children living in poverty) for a Chicago magazine. That is when he met the Rivers brothers, Lafeyette, age ten, and Pharoah age seven. He spent only a few hours with them interviewing for the photo essay. Lafeyette had an impact on Kotlowitz. When asked what he wanted to be, Lafeyette responded with "If I grow up, I'd like to be a bus driver." Meaning, at ten years old, he wasn't sure if he'd make it to adulthood. In 1988 Kotlowitz suggested to the boys' mother, LaJoe, the idea of writing a book about Pharoah, Lafeyette and the other children in the neighborhood. LaJoe liked the idea. However, she then said, "But you know, there are no children here. They've seen too much to be children."

To entice the weary traveler, accustomed and outraged by the rough, tiresome, and jolting rides on planes and trains, improvements have been made over the decades to pamper the passenger. Mechanical changes and physical changes enhance the traveling experience. Although airplane seats are space-efficient to the point of restricting movement, they are similar to the living room easy chair, reclining and cushy. At the push of a button, pillows and blankets are available. To distract, rather than to nourish, miniature bottles of liquor are served with plastic glasses. In comparison, traveling by train is similar to a luxurious hotel, in motion, with its ...
I smiled with an uncertainty of having not given him what he wanted. He gathered up his camera and turned to go ask the same question to the other cast members. Their answers were short, and silly.
Upon seeing his train Weston remarks, "It looked more like a wingless airplane than a train" (7). Inside the train there were no seats, only beanbag cushions scattered about in no particular fashion. The floor was carpeted and the odor of marijuana hung in the air from the cigarettes being smoked by the passengers. At both ends of the car were bins marked "M," "G" and "P" which Weston learns are recycle bins for metal, glass, and paper and plastic. The train itself operates...
What is hope? Desmond Tutu said, “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness.” It whispers, “You’ll overcome this hardship.” It reassures us, soothing our minds by reminding, “life will improve.”
