About This Topic

Hair is a subject that surfaces across a surprisingly wide range of academic disciplines, from biology and anatomy to literature, media studies, and personal narrative writing. In science courses, it appears as a component of the integumentary system, the body's outer layer of skin, hair, and nails. In humanities and composition classes, hair carries cultural and symbolic weight, touching on identity, gender, history, and the ways women in particular present themselves to the world. Its versatility makes it genuinely interesting academically: a single topic can bridge clinical description and deeply personal meaning depending on the course context.

The papers archived here reflect that range. Some take an analytical approach, examining advertisements and film — including work connected to F. Scott Fitzgerald's writing — to explore how hair shapes visual messaging and cultural ideals. Others are personal and descriptive, using hair as a lens for life narrative, journal reflection, or college application essays. Still others address hair in professional or applied contexts such as client health history examinations and customer service materials. Comparative and image-analysis frameworks appear alongside purely creative or expressive work.

A strong essay on hair succeeds by committing to one clear angle rather than trying to cover all of them at once. If the focus is cultural or historical, specific examples of how hair signals change, status, or identity carry the most argumentative weight. If the approach is analytical, grounding claims in a single text, image, or case keeps the thesis manageable. The most common pitfall is treating hair as merely decorative or superficial — the strongest essays recognize that it consistently points toward larger questions about identity, history, and social meaning.

Gang violence: causes, effects, and prevention strategies

Gang Violence Introduction For many years gang violence has plagued cities in the United States and around the world, causing disruptions and chaos in communities, and bringing grief and grieving to families in those communities. There seems to be no end to the killings and gang members appear to have access to unlimited numbers of weapons. Lately Chicago Illinois, in particular, has been the scene of numerous deaths due to gang violence. This paper reviews and critiques an article in The Atlantic in which noted University of Chicago Crime Lab scholar Dr. Harold Pollack is interviewed by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The interview took place in Chicago around the time that Hadiya Pendleton was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in a Chicago park on January 29, 2013. Pendleton was a member of a marching band that played at the inauguration of President Obama. At the time of her murder, she was hanging out with her volleyball team and was shot in the back when a shooter just apparently aimed into a crowd of students.

Black Rain (1989): Memory, Denial, and Hiroshima's Legacy

War is always a collective historical event that survives in official government records and propaganda as well as mass media images and academic and popular writing. Of course, not all individual experiences can be captured by the collective memory, national consciousness and official interpretations of events, and in some cases governments and established elites attempt to censor and repress collective memory. With Hiroshima and Nagasaki, collective denial, cover ups and repression of public memories occurred for decades after the war, while many veterans who returned to Japan in 1945 were deeply dissatisfied by the official version of collective memory and sought to alter the national consciousness. In Black Rain, the family patriarch would also like to repress and deny the events of the recent past, but his niece and lover were so obviously victimized and damaged by the war that in the end he is simply unable to do so.
