What is People?

The study of people sits at the center of nearly every academic discipline, from sociology and psychology to literature, public health, and political science. Essays grouped under this broad topic examine human behavior, identity, social roles, and the systems that shape individual lives. Because the subject touches so many fields, students encounter it in introductory composition courses, upper-division humanities seminars, and professional programs alike. Works like Sophocles' Oedipus the King and Langston Hughes' "Night Funeral in Harlem" appear alongside nursing research and immigration policy, reflecting how questions about what it means to be human cross disciplinary boundaries and resist simple answers.

The papers archived here take a wide range of approaches. Literary analysis appears in close readings of Hughes and Sophocles, while social and policy perspectives drive essays on immigration, reintegration after incarceration, and technology dependence. Applied professional angles emerge in work on nursing evidence-based practice, physical education teacher burnout, and strategic staffing. Personal narrative and descriptive writing feature in essays about historical figures and memorable life events, while research-oriented pieces examine extracurricular activity, premarital factors, and quality improvement initiatives. This variety shows that writing about people can mean analyzing a character, evaluating a workplace policy, or reflecting on lived experience.

A strong essay on any aspect of this topic needs a focused, arguable thesis rather than a general statement about humanity. Evidence that carries weight includes specific examples, credible research, or close textual detail depending on the assignment type. The most common pitfall is scope creep — trying to address all of society when the essay should examine one clear issue, case, or idea in meaningful depth.

Du Bois vs. Washington: Competing Visions for Black Progress

Cover Letter ONE: There are several purposes as to why I'm writing this essay. For one, exploring the writings of Du Bois is an education in itself; the man is a giant of letters and his editorial positions were actually prophetic because by the Civil Rights Movement of the late 1950s and 1960s many Blacks were demanding the things that Du Bois demanded years before. Another purpose was to show that there were several approaches taken by Black leaders in terms of the advancement of African Americans in a segregated, Jim Crow-toned society. TWO: After reading the assignment I did not change my perspective on the differences in approaches by Washington and Du Bois because I already was aware that the two were quite far apart in philosophies. But by once again studying the juxtaposition between the two, my understanding of the problems of Black folks came into greater focus for me.

War Without Violence: U.S. Strategy Against Salafist Jihadism

Homeland Security – Article Critique Introduction ONE: The article by Pat Proctor of Kansas State University was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Strategic Security in 2012. TWO: The point of this article is not so much posing a question but presenting a proposal. The proposal is directed at the United States, suggesting in strong terms how the United States (and presumably its allies) could and should engage in "…mass politics" which Proctor calls "war without violence" (Proctor, 2012, 47). The theme of the article is the remarkable transformation that has taken place in Arab countries (called the "Arab Spring") such as Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Libya and elsewhere in the Middle East.

Afghanistan's Security, Poverty, and Taliban Resurgence

Afghanistan Introduction The current situation in Afghanistan is not improving as was hoped for given the massive and expensive American and NATO intervention. There are crises and serious issues in the country including: a) the lack of a competent, well-trained military defence force; b) a lingering legacy of poverty and hopelessness; and c) the re-emergence of the Taliban, a radical Islamic fighting force that was ousted from Afghanistan after 9/11 but is coming back as a disruptive insurgency. These issues will be presented in this paper.

Globalization, Art, and Culture: A Cross-Cultural Analysis

When we discuss globalization in terms of art and culture, though, we must as ourselves some of the very basic questions about the nature of art. Art certainly evolves – not just the medium of expression or the pervasive ties to culture, but the way we perceive and even define art. For example, many of the Ancient World's "art" was perceived in their time as merely functional (pots, illuminations, etc.). Art is easier to describe than to define, most particularly after the Renaissance when groupings of arts formed a nucleus of music, painting, sculpture, weaving, etc. as being something that creates a response to humans, which may be individual or shared.

Bentham's Utilitarianism and the Ethics of Punishment

This essay examines Jeremy Bentham's theory of utilitarianism with a particular focus on its consideration of criminal justice and punishment. After explaining the principle of utility in general, which states that all behavior may be judged according to the proportion of harm and good it produces, the essay discusses the principle's application to punishment. Ultimately, the essay argues that Bentham's theory offers a more robust, ethically-sound standard for punishment than that offered by religious or contemporary political standards.
