Obama Talks Climate Change at Summit in NYC
Worries that tariffs and restrictions on tire imports to America from China would impact China’s willingness to talk global climate change were put to rest in New York this week, as China talked a surprisingly strong and encouraging rhetoric for meeting stringent carbon targets. However, in a disappointing show for the host of the summit, President Obama failed to deliver a 1-2 punch type of speech and merely reiterated the warnings against a path to failure if complacency continues. Perhaps Obama felt pleased that the talks were even taking place after China angrily retorted at the Obama administration for cutting its throat on tire imports to America. However, I would expect that the leader of one of the top industrial nations in the world and the host of the summit would take no prisoners when it comes to climate talks. Read more…

Sierra Club Helps Students Fight Against Coal on Campus
College students are in a very powerful place in their lives to make change on a grand scale. The 18 to twenty-somethings are grouped together, educated and generally open to looking at the world in a new light, as they are recently freed from the influence of their parents. We encourage the college students we work with to become involved in active in the educational process beyond the classroom, that is, what is going on socially with their peers. Social change can happen on a grand scale, beginning with the college campus. Take the example of protests going on all over campuses over the use of coal. From Penn State to Georgia State, students are protesting the use of coal-based fuel, some of which produces the majority of power on campus. Read more…

Michael Duvall Compromises Self over "eye-patch underware"
How could sex, ethics, politics and the California political crisis not score with professors for a research paper topic! At Paper Masters, we are constantly trying to give our readers fresh ideas on how to approach writing research papers with fresh ideas and angles that will give professor’s something interesting to read about while illustrating a thorough understanding of the topic area. Mike Duvall is a gift from the Research Paper Gods! Last July, Duvall, a second-term California assemblyman, gets ready for a televised committee meeting, not knowing his microphone is on. The self-proclaimed christian conservative with staunch family values begins spouting off about his sexual conquests with a lobbyist and his many other triumphs of philandering, cheating on his wife and various other activities associated with bodily fluid emission.
So how would I work Michael Duvall into a research paper? Go ahead, give me any course and I’ll tell you how… Read more…

Obama Gives Back To School Speech
Partisan politics at its best! President Obama gives a back to school speech encouraging excellence and participation in politics in students and the GOP goes nuts! Tuesday’s back to school speech included encouragement from President Obama for students to write letters on how they can help the President or what they admire about him. Conservatives in Washington went ballistic with claims that the President is pushing a liberal agenda in schools and trying to sway students to liberal politics. In light of pre-speech backlash, President Obama canceled the lesson plan that was prepared by the White House to go along with the speech, as it aired in schools across the nation. However, amazingly, the President was able to send the message of “stay in school and work hard” to the students without any Republican backlash. Whew!
With the rise of partisan politics, the possibility to consolidate support has become a defining element of citizen involvement in the political process. Individuals became fiercely loyal to their part of affiliation, and these parties in turn try to curry favor from the individual in ushering in their own choice of political agendas. In this era of the “neo-politics of party” era, we can see that this partisanship is affecting every aspect of American life. Our children can’t even receive a school lesson from the President.

Baby Chick thrown into grinder
I always appeal to the intellect of the nations youth when I read stories like the one from the Associated Press on ground up baby chickens. Are omelets, eggs over easy or my once beloved Huevos Rancheros really worth it? Undercover video was shot by Mercy for Animals showing how male baby chicks are ground up alive as a means of quick disposal of the unwanted chicks. Since male chickens produce no eggs and hatchery’s do not raise chickens for slaughter due to the length of time it takes to fatten them up, what else can they do but grind them to shreds alive. Some are pushed to the floor to be swept away and die slowly with the other debris in the hatchery. So what does this have to do with you, my college aged friends? Read more…
