As the semester winds down, it's easy to let yourself slip through the cracks.
Imagine that this week, you were confined to an eight-foot by 10-foot room. There are no windows, and your only contact with the world comes in the form of a small slot in the door through which you receive your food. You are in this room, alone, for at least 23 hours a day. When you are lucky, you are released for one hour to exercise. When you are not lucky, there isn’t anyone available to let you out at all.
An estimated 20 to 25 percent of female college students are victims of a completed or attempted rape over the course of their college careers. Clearly, there is absolutely no question that the sexual assault epidemic plaguing American universities needs to be addressed comprehensively.
The job of a sheriff is to uphold the law justly and equally. When a sheriff himself breaks the law, discriminates against broad cross-sections of people and governs through hate and fear, he fails the public he swore to protect.
Global climate change is an issue we simply can’t afford to ignore. The effects of climate change – spanning health, agriculture, water, weather, air and virtually all other aspects of human life – are already far-reaching, and they only threaten to get worse.
Internship stress — at some point, it’s inevitable. Campus is sprinkled with signs advertising internship fairs and resume workshops, and you’re stuck fielding questions from nosy friends and concerned family members alike: Where have you applied? Did you intern last summer? When will you have an interview?
Popular media doesn’t give ASU much credit. Echoes of ASU being a party school — or as Stephen Colbert called it, a “degree mill” — are all too familiar for ASU students.
In a recent speech at the United Nations, Emma Watson raised the question, "What if, as is the case at far too many universities, (students) are given the message that sexual violence isn’t actually a form of violence?”
Imagine that your only contact with the outside world — with your family, friends, current or prospective employers and teachers — was confined to a 6-by-4-inch space.
It was a typical Sunday afternoon, and I was catching up on my email. As I typed out response after electronic response, I began to notice a pattern in my language: phrases like "I just wanted to let you know," "I'm sorry to bother you but" and "I know how busy you are" continuously reappeared in my writing.
Since 1989, 1,879 people have been exonerated in the United States. This means that 1,879 innocent people were wrongfully convicted of a crime, only to later be declared factually innocent or relieved of the consequences of their conviction.
In my high school government class, we had to memorize the first 20 amendments of the U.S. Constitution. At the time, it seemed like a tedious exercise.
On June 4, 2016, I stood in the middle of a clean, yet crowded, plaza in Beijing, China, my feet pressing against cement blocks that once hosted pools of blood. It was the 27th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. I made my way through the Beijing subway system, which was crawling with increased security presence, in order to see what was being done to commemorate the tragedy.
There's no denying it: Arizona definitely gets a bad rap.
There's no point in denying it anymore: The end of the semester is here. An onslaught of papers, projects and exams will no doubt be keeping you busy the next couple of weeks. Here's a list of inspirational sayings that will out-do the quotes from your high school homeroom teacher's collection of motivational posters ("There's no 'I' in team!") and bring a little balance to your sleep-deprived existence.
This April, ASU and college campuses across the country are marking Sexual Assault Awareness Month through events to "raise public awareness about sexual violence, and educate communities about prevention." Sexual Assault Awareness Month is organized by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC), and this year's theme is "Prevention is Possible."
Nothing scares me more than my own vulnerability. It scares me not in the way that the snakes in the Life Science building or an episode of "American Horror Story" scare me, but in a more subtle and ultimately much more manipulating way.
A dollar should have the same worth no matter whose hands it is in. Unfortunately, thanks to gender-targeted pricing, that's not always the case.
The right to vote is the cornerstone of a democracy. Yet effectively, if someone has a right but is unable to practice it, this right is meaningless.
On March 5, I sat with 17 other ASU students and two ASU professors on a charter flight gliding over the Florida Straits, destined for Havana, Cuba. Together, we represented the first ASU study abroad trip to Cuba. Armed with my U.S. passport and money for souvenirs, I was full of excitement and nervousness — a weird feeling of expecting something but simultaneously having no idea what to expect.
