Hundred Dollars Thirty Years
571 wordsSince 1989 all shrimp nets have had to have TEDS or Turtle Exclude Devices sewn into them. A TED is a metal grate that is sewn in the body of a net so when a turtle hits it, it is launched out the top of the net, supposedly returning it to the wild. In my opinion TEDS are a good thought but they have done nothing but hurt the fishing Since the introduction of TEDS in 1989 there has been a 10 % decline in the number of shrimp caught each year. This is because when trash is caught it becomes entan...

Civil Rights Movement Pop Culture
815 wordsIn comparing the sixties and the nineties, my first thought was how much popular culture has changed since then and how different society is today. The strange thing is, the more I tried to differentiate between them, the more similarities I found. Both the sixties and the nineties were about youth, creativity, free-thinking, and expression. With the nineties coming to a close and the popularity of anything retro, I decided to compare the fashions, people, music, and issues that defined pop cult...
