To sag or not to sag? That is the question that some young men in the town of Delcambre, Louisiana cannot ask. The answer for them is no. In Delcambre, wearing sagging pants is against the law. The fine for the offense, can cost up to $500 and a six-month sentence. Other towns in Louisiana, Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey, and Connecticut are considering or have already sanctioned this measure.

I was talking to a friend, who was frustrated about a NEW pack of gum that she bought. I asked her what the problem was. Why would she have a problem with a simple piece of gum? OK, so maybe not so simple. My friend, admitted she got caught up in the package. She said, this new gum looked so cool she had to buy it. Later, she was angry about her discovery about this gum, and to make it worse she

For my assignment I chose to analyze an online article, from the Slate Magazine website. Gregg Easterbrook calls the article, “TV Really Might Cause Autism,” Easterbrook uses his article as a reference for a larger study. The study was a quantitative analysis done at Cornell University. The Cornell study is by Michael Waldman, a professor in the school’s Johnson Graduate School of Management,

Have you seen the not so new Visa commercials? You know, the ones that show the queue at some mall or eatery in harmony. The queue is going smoothly. There is music playing and everyone is happy. Then someone decides to pay with cash. The queue suddenly stops. The music comes to a screeching halt and the world is dark. To the media illiterate the commercial is only depicting that it's easier to

I am not a big football fan, but you can't escape the ongoing media coverage and crucifixion of Atlanta Falcons quarterback, Michael Vick. Personally I was tired of the coverage. What is it about our culture, that we insist on running a story into the ground, until life has been slowly and painfully drained. Do I dare type Paris Hilton (that was painful). Make no mistake, what Micheal Vick did

August 29, 2005 many of us remember thetradgedy that was and is New Orleans. In June 2007 I began to ask myself questions. Two years later what strides have been made to rebuild New Orleans? Have the levees been rebuilt? How has New Orleans changed since I went to visit my husband's family last year. Surely things have changed for the better. Sometimes we equate the lack of media coverage to
