A large amount of people believe president John F. Kennedy was killed in a conspiracy. Despite that and the confusing circumstances surrounding his assassination, there isn't substantial evidence to corroborate another party's involvement. My project aims to address why people are so inclined to believe these theories, and why this particular event generated more conspiracy theories than other similar events.

+ Art Swift - Majority in U.S. Still Believe JFK Killed in a Conspiracy

+ Marta Marchlewska et al. - Addicted to answers: Need for cognitive closure and the endorsement of conspiracy beliefs

+ David Rietzes - JFK conspiracy theories at 50: how the skeptics got it wrong and why it matters

Main research method (source source?): Google Scholar

CONCLUSION

Confusing circumstances in a surprising situation does not mean a conspiracy was involved, but there are legitimate reasons for people to believe in one. There is no way to completely avoid conspiracy theorist beliefs, but acknowledging evidence for what it is regardless of pre-existing biases is a good start.

ABSTRACT

This essay is going to cover Oscar Micheaux, known as the first major African American filmmaker, and his struggles with racism in his era. He wrote novels and soon transformed them into movies, starting his own film company, “Micheaux Film and Book Company.” Being black in the early 1900s, there were many challenges to overcome while making a film, like budget, actors, sets, and more. His films, starring a solely black cast, were revolutionary for his time. He cast young African American actors to give them a chance in the spotlight, playing distinguished and complex characters, unlike the demeaning, small roles they would be offered by mainstream Hollywood. He used his films as a platform to preach his thoughts to the masses. He was an inspiration to all suppressed communities and paved the way for future independent film directors.

Abstract

The paper, "The Dynamics of Eminent Domain: Revisiting Urban Narratives," explores the historical, legal, and ethical aspects of eminent domain, particularly its impact on marginalized communities. It examines landmark cases like Berman v. Parker and Kelo v. City of New London, highlighting the complexities and controversies surrounding property rights, government power, and urban development. The case of Seneca Village is used to illustrate the often devastating impact of eminent domain on communities. The paper proposes solutions to make the use of eminent domain more equitable and transparent, emphasizing the need for policy reform and community engagement in urban development.

ABSTRACT

This is an essay covering Marylin Edwin Link. Marylin, despite being the head of many institutions and pioneer of early aviation, is not very well known. She is a fascinating woman, who affected many aspects of early aeronautics and oceanic research, and doesn’t appear in traditional history. Marylin was the first American woman to earn a commercial pilot's license, and was even asked to be the first woman in space. She was the sister of Edwin Albert Link Jr., a significantly more publicly influential person, responsible for major developments in aviation, flight simulation, and undersea exploration.

METHODS/DISCIPLINE

This paper analyzes the life and effects of sexism on the life of an elite female pioneer.
