MODERN FEMINISM IS IMPORTANT
Maggie Strauser.


If you don’t support feminism in America, or really modern feminism anywhere, and think that feminism has done nothing to change or help anything in the world, then you most likely have the incorrect definition of “feminism.”


Feminism, by definition, is “the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.” In broader terms, and more modern terms, “feminism” fights for the equality of everyone (for all genders and sexes to be equal). It does not mean that “women want to be better than men,” or that “women are superior to men” because that’s misandry[1] (the opposite of misogyny[2]).


It’s called “feminism” and not “humanism” or any other name because it focuses on women, and because it focuses on the feminine traits that have been viewed as unfavorable in society. Real talk: women can be aggressors, men can be abused, and men can cry and have feminine traits. Men don’t have to be big and strong, and women don’t have to be demure and weak. There needs to be acceptance of feminine traits in men and masculine traits in women.


Not only that, but women need to have their bar raised to meet men, who have far more power. But when women want something, men seem to want it, too. And that’s a problem, because that prevents the scale from being balanced. If you need a visual, here it is:


            men




                                women
   
See how men are way higher up than women are? If we give women something men don’t have (like giving women a little more power over men) and make it like this--that would be great:


                men                women


But then there are men that complain that they want it, too, to make it “balanced” (even though it already is) like this--which is literally right where we started. Keep that in mind.


                men




                                women
[1] mis·an·dry
miˈsandrē/
noun
  1. dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against men (i.e., the male sex).


[2] mi·sog·y·ny
məˈsäjənē/
noun
  1. dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.
  2. "she felt she was struggling against thinly disguised misogyny"

NJROTC




 CAR WASH & BAKE SALE
By Nick Baltera

On April 18th, Sterling High School’s NJROTC held a car wash/bake sale fundraiser in front of the school from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm, with the fundraiser’s proceeds going towards multiple sclerosis. Between the two stations, the cadets rose over $560 in only four hours. About twenty-five cadets signed up to help and made the car wash run smoothly, moving cars through quickly. Each car took less than five minutes and left the school shining. One customer even said, “My truck went in brown from the mud and came out white as could be.” The baked goods were donated by cadets and parents, and were both homemade and bought. Both the baked goods and car wash had no set cost; it was up to the customer to choose their own donation amount. It’s nice to know that even with no set cost, a substantial amount was still raised. Overall it was a great day and a great success. The Navy Knights can’t wait to help again next year.

Music Review

MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS - FROOT
By Maggie Strauser


Welsh singer Marina Lambrini Diamandis (otherwise known as Marina and the Diamonds) sheds her old skin for a fresh new sound on her newest album, Froot. The pop star ultimately defied predictability and stereotype in her old albums, The Family Jewels and Electra Heart, and continues to do so now in 2015. After a two-year hiatus, the artist has been completely reborn from a preppy false-diva (Electra Heart) to a “froot”-bearing goddess.
As a huge fan of Marina and the Diamonds, I’d pre-ordered the album months before its release, not entirely sure what I was expecting, but knowing it would be amazing nonetheless. The debut song “FROOT” was released on January first, and a month later, “Happy” was released. A month after that, the song “Immortal” was released. And another month after that, right before the full-album release, “Forget” was released. All of the songs were well-received by consumers and fans were very excited about the entire album after getting monthly tastes of four delicious “froots” from the album.
Marina stripped herself bear, dropping the extra fluff and other producers from previous album Electra Heart to write and either produce or co-produce (with just one co-producer, David Kosten) all of the songs for this album. The backbone of “Froot” is made up of a sense of reflection, from what I’ve gathered, and looks inward rather than outward. It starts with the intense track “Happy” before moving on to the title song “FROOT” and all of the other amazing songs that easily evoke a variety of emotions from those who listen to them. In my opinion, the most notable songs are “Blue” and “Savages.” That may just be because they’re my favorite ones on the album, but it also could be the fact that “Blue” fosters vulnerability in its upbeat, catchy tune, and “Savages” talks about what makes humans savage and how it’s “a human trait / Hidden deep down inside of our DNA.”
Every song on the album, though similar, is different, and brilliantly so. In this album, Marina offers her fans and soon-to-be fans a variety of sounds to enjoy as well as deep, personal lyrics that come from the heart and are incredibly relatable. Froot, for me, was well worth the wait, and the hype surrounding the wait. I think you should definitely give it a listen if you’re looking for music that’s equivalent to a breath of fresh air.

Reflective Essay

FAMILIAL REFLECTION
--NICOLE MASNICAK

Most of us trudge through life without ever truly knowing who we are and where we came from. I was never like that. Throughout my entire existence, I’ve always known who I was and where I came from and the basic series of events that unfolded to get me to where I am today. But when I was young and naive, it was an albatross weighing down on my shoulders: I was embarrassed of my background, or more importantly, of being different. As the years wore on and I matured, I came to a substantial realization: I am proud of my heritage. I am proud to be different.
Small children are often fond of showing off and sharing personal information in order to gain subconscious superiority: “Your mom is forty and mine is only thirty;” “I’m half German, 25% Polish and one quarter Native American; what are you?” “My mom is a teacher and my dad is a chef.” From a small age I was always badgered with questions and statements that I felt I couldn’t compete with or even answer. The main problem for me was that there wasn’t an assortment of cultures running through my veins; I was pure Slovak, and my parents had accents to show for it, further differentiating themselves from the rest of the tight-knit community.
One year, in grade school Spanish class, our teacher had us draw family trees and label them. I have an average-sized family, and I have never been ashamed of that. The real problem for me was the names of my family members: my father was Jan, but I wrote down the American name of “Ian;” my aunt is Katarina, but I scribbled in “Kathy.” Where other kids had grandfathers named Joseph or Thomas, mine was Alojz, and there was nothing I could do about it besides feel awkward and uncomfortable.
I dragged my feet in a similar fashion for years afterward. When people asked my mother’s name I had to spell it and repeat the pronunciation several times: “Lubica.” Any time that classes changed, I would be forced to laugh off the fact that only one out of every ten teachers held the ability to pronounce my last name correctly. I always wished I was born into something different, something normal.
As my high school years passed, I became better acquainted with my heritage and I met new friends that adored my mother’s broken English and distinct accent. I visited Slovakia three summers in a row, and realized its close proximity to everywhere else in Europe, allowing for easy travel. I came to the conclusion that Slovak is one of the most beautiful languages. I was finally able to connect with my family, and I realized how useful it would be for me in the years ahead to be acquainted with another language, another culture.
In French class we were once again assigned to draw a family tree. I pulled out the one I had concocted in grade school, glad my mother had kept it throughout the years. As I read through the names, I remembered the humiliation I felt about myself for being different. And I felt bad for the old me, the naive me, who refused to acknowledge the singular beauty of being so unique. I’m not ashamed of being 100% pure Slovak anymore; in fact, I’ve more than embraced it.
I know now that my uncommon heritage is what makes me so different, and I’m proud of it. It’s a conversation starter and continuer. I love the culture and the country that my family belongs to, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s my only wish that the my younger self had realized sooner just how beautiful my heritage--and being different--is.

OCD & Anxiety

All in your head?
By Mary McGregor
Most people use the term OCD, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, as an adjective to describe someone who likes to keep their bedroom, locker, workspace, etc., neat and tidy. In reality, that is not even a quarter of what OCD truly is.
Many signs of OCD include the repetition of actions or words and a state of agitation. Many OCD cases include an individual needing to repeat an action to keep them in their right state of mind and continue on with their daily tasks; if said action is not done, then that is all the individual can think about.
To put this into a better perspective, imagine you cannot stand touching a trash can. Although this seems like nothing, or even ridiculous, to others, it is your worst enemy, and the thought of it makes you cringe. Let’s say by accident you do happen to touch a trash can: your thoughts become flooded with all of the trash inside, making you anxious and in need of washing your hands. This is what runs through the minds of individuals with OCD.
OCD is also linked with anxiety and panic attacks, both consuming the mind of someone who suffers from these illnesses. OCD is considered a type of anxiety, but differs from actual anxiety in many ways. Anxiety is a feeling of overwhelming fear and worry about an action or an event. OCD usually has the same symptoms as anxiety, but the actions of one with OCD differ from one with anxiety.
Anxiety spans a wide spectrum, including panic disorders, panic attacks, social anxiety, and general anxiety. Panic attacks occur when your body completely fails you; your heart beats quickly and breathing becomes difficult. A panic attack makes the person having one feel like he or she is dying. The cause of a panic attack puts the person into overdrive and makes him or her become lost and feel as though he or she is drowning and no one can help.
Imagine being strapped down to a bed, not being able to move, speak, or see; you would feel lost, right? Almost helpless. This is exactly what a panic attack feels like, except your heart races and your brain completely fails you when it comes to thinking rationally. On top of that, imagine this happening for 10 minutes, or even an hour. Do you think you could do it? People who suffer from panic attacks do not have a choice, no matter how much they wish that they do.
Another form of anxiety is social anxiety. Social anxiety is when someone feels discomfort socializing or even fears it. Most people who suffer from this feel more comfortable alone; their own company is enough for them. This may be seen by others as weird or abnormal but, once again, they do not know what happens everyday when they are forced to do the one thing they fear the most: communicate.
Picture this: if you had a deadly fear of spiders or snakes, what if you were forced to hold one every day? Do you think you could do it? Again, people who suffer from social anxiety do not have a choice.
The issue with understanding these mental illnesses is just that: they are mental, not physical, and this makes it very hard, if not impossible, for others to understand what the suffering feels like. This is why I described all these cases with something anyone can relate to; the scenarios make it a little bit easier to see what it would feel like to suffer from such illnesses.
One thing I run into the most when someone has a mental illness is a second person, who has no clue what they go through on a daily basis, telling them to “Just stop.” I think it’s one of the most unintelligent things anyone can say. Why would anyone want to wash their hand 5 times in 20 minutes? Or have moments where they aren’t even sure what is happening around them, their brain and body becoming detached from one another? Why would anyone choose to be seen as different?

The answer is they don’t. All people who suffer from mental illnesses just wish for the illness to stop existing. They do not want to wash their hands all the time; their brain tells them they have to. They do not want to stutter every time someone asks them a question; their brain doesn’t allow them to speak normally. They do not want to get lost from themselves every time they see blood or needles; their brain gives them no choice.

Sports Update

True Believin’
Written by Joe Korn

When April arrives every year, everyone and everything undergoes a change. It’s the first month that is entirely spring; it has no winter like March. Everyone goes from feeling all cooped up inside to feeling free and joyful over the promise of the outside warmth. For me though, April has a much bigger meaning to it than just the outside air; it means baseball season is starting up. Spring training has already rolled through and the normal season is about to start. Teams are looking forward to a new year; they might be striving for a better one, or maybe they are trying to repeat last season’s success. I love this sport in its entirety but am a huge fan of two teams specifically: the Philadelphia Phillies and the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles are coming off a huge year with winning the Al East and making it all the way to the ALCS. They are primed to have another good year this year in my eyes. The Phillies, on the other hand, are a completely different story.
Have you ever heard of the saying, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”? That basically sums up the Phillies’ entire 2014 season. They had moments of brilliance and certain players shined brightly, like Chase Utley and Cole Hamels, but they were masked by a horrible 73-89 record. They were last in their division, the NL East, averaged 20th out of 30 in batting statistics and pitching statistics, and overall did extremely poorly as a team. A team should play as one, as if they had glue attaching them, and work together to achieve harmony on and off the field. The Phillies are like a kindergarten art piece: poorly done with certain parts of the paper falling off because of a lack of glue. I mean really, if there are players wanting to leave their team, then something is wrong.

Nevertheless, I’m sticking with the team in hopes that someday soon, they will become that team they were in 2008 or 2009 when they reached the World Series. It’s situations like this that test a fan’s devotion to their home team but all you need is one simple thing to pass the test. You need hope, a hope that your team will fix their mistakes, and will become the team that you know they can become. In other words, you need to be a true believer in your team. If you don’t believe, if you don’t have hope for their future, then you won’t be able to look past the team’s bad streak and see a future where they perform well together. Be that one true believer, even if all of your friends are abandoning them and jumping on the bandwagon for another team. Go Phillies!

A Short Introduction


 FEMINISM
Written by Maggie Strauser


Identify yourself as a feminist, and see how many people instantaneously assume that you’re a man-hating, bra-burning, armpit-hair-dying, whiny liberal, which is by no means an accurate description of a “feminist”. Anyone can be a feminist, so long as you believe in total equality. When people hear about feminism, they think that it’s solely a gender issue, when, in reality, feminism is about equality for all. Sure, feminine equality is what it started with, but now feminism is much more than just dealing with gender inequality issues.
There have been three waves of feminism. Here’s a brief history:
The beginning of the feminist movement in the 19th century is considered to be the first wave of feminism, what with the struggles of suffragists determined to win the ability to vote and gain political equality. This movement at the time was confined to upper and middle class women, and excluded many minorities.
The second wave of feminism occurred in the 1960s. Women, though having won the vote already, were still largely sequestered in domestic roles. These feminists fought for social equality.
Third wave feminism, though disagreed over by feminists and scholars, is said to have begun in the 1990s and continues to this very day. This movement includes everyone, and fights for everyone.
Now, why do we need feminism?
We need feminism because everyone, no matter their race, gender, income, creed, and sexual orientation, should be equal.

Recap

The Super Bowl
By: Joe Korn


There are 3 main holidays throughout the year: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the Super Bowl. Every year, millions of people worldwide settle in for “Super Sunday” with their bean dips, wings and pizza and get ready for two hours of America’s most popular sport. This year, 114.4 million viewers watched, either from home or at the big game at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona. This makes it the most watched television program ever in U.S history.
This year’s playoffs were incredible with upsets galore and narrow victories all leading up to February 2nd. The Colts’ game against the Broncos was amazing to watch while the Patriots narrowly edged out the Ravens. Then came the controversy with Tom Brady and whether or not the deflated footballs had an impact on their win.
Just when it couldn’t get any better, the Seahawks upset the Packers in overtime to reach their 2nd Super Bowl in 2 years. The game was amazing between the Patriots and Seahawks. As always, Seattle’s defense was solid but so were Tom Brady and Julian Edelman. It came down to the last seconds when, with the game on the line for the Seahawks, a juggling act saved them and put them in 1 yard’s reach of a consecutive Super Bowl. They didn’t run the ball though, as many had expected and hoped for, but threw it instead, giving Malcolm Butler the chance to pick it off and give the Patriots the win.
Now the game isn’t the only thing worth watching in the Super Bowl, although all eyes were glued to Malcolm Butler in those last seconds.
The halftime show, hosted by Katy Perry, is another great attraction. She certainly put on a show worth watching, singing her hit songs “Roar” and “Firework.” Who wouldn’t want to see someone ride a giant lion, dance with life-size beach balls and sharks and then soar over the field in a ‘comet’? Even if you aren’t a fan of Katy Perry, the half-time show was an impressive feat and it was a production to remember.
Probably the most desired part of the game besides the half-time show is the commercials. Every year, companies pay millions to put their advertisements in the Super Bowl and there are no words to express how much effort goes into making them.
This year, Doritos, Snickers and Kim Kardashian captured the spotlight through humor, and who could forget #Leaveyourballsalone? There was also a more heartfelt and genuine theme behind the commercials this year, with Budweiser’s lost puppy, Dove’s support of our fathers, Dodge’s 100 years of wisdom, and the “Be a Girl” commercial. McDonalds also had a Pay with Loving commercial, with their cashiers making people pay by doing acts of kindness instead of with money.
With the combined efforts of the commercials, the half-time show, and the actual game, the Super Bowl is one of the most beloved and popular events in the United States.

Gender Equality


Equal Rights for All!
By: Mary McGregor


On Sunday, February 22, 2015, Patricia Arquette gave the world something to talk about during her acceptance speech at the Oscars: equal rights for everyone. She said, “To every woman who gave birth. To every taxpayer and citizen of this nation, we have fought for everybody else's equal rights. It's time to have a wage equality once and for all, and equal rights for women in the United States of America.” This speech began a lot of controversy throughout America and the world, the topic being one that has been brought up multiple times before; women have so-called “equal rights” but an unwritten rule states that women receive less income than men, even if they both have the same qualifications, schooling, etc.
I feel as though everyone should know that women deserve to receive just as much as men, both being human and gender being the only difference, but believe it or not specific men all around the world feel that women are less than them, treating women like their personal grab bag to be disposed of and nothing else. This treatment is completely biased and degrading to women.
The case where men think women can just be used and then discarded from their lives is an issue I find more often today rather than a few decades ago. As a woman myself, I of course feel equal rights should be for everyone, no matter what sex you are. My mind is open for anyone to live whatever lifestyle they prefer, no matter how different it is to my own. This is something I can only hope everyone in the world soon sees: if someone is genuinely happy then let them be themselves and enjoy the life they have chosen, instead of bringing them down and questioning their life decision because someone’s unimportant opinion said it is wrong.
Women are not meant to cook in the kitchen while men go to work. Women are meant to be who they chose to be, even if that’s a CEO, giving orders to all the men and women in her company.

Poetry

“Viridescence”
by Emily Winters


She lives in perpetual springtime,
Eyes blind and hands outstretched:
Walking with her face arched towards the sun.


The birds are always in motion;
Frozen in time is no such thing…
She can hear the singing in the trees.


Digging holes for the flowers to nest,
For her flock to make her home…
The petrified ground gives no help,
And her nails chip and crack and bleed as she digs in the dirt.


Plots in the icy ground,
But thawed by the time spring rolls around;
She lives in always viridescence,
With singing and frolics six-feet deep.



Monsanto

MONSANTO


Who is Monsanto?
Truthfully, I did not know who Monsanto was until I saw the documentary Food Inc. That program brought to light many of this organization’s more questionable practices…but what exactly, who exactly, is Monsanto?
    Monsanto is the largest producer of genetically engineered seeds, and the company can vouch for 90% of the seeds planted across the world in 2003.


What are genetically engineered seeds?
Monsanto has created a seed that is resistant to Roundup (Roundup-Ready seeds), which is a toxic weed killer; this weed killer kills everything around the plant, except the GE seeds. While this sounds perfect, the weed killer stays on the plant. It doesn’t just drain off. This means that 75% of the products that you buy at the grocery store contain traces of herbicide…and it’s not just the vegetables: the corn is fed to the animals that you could one day be serving up for dinner.


Superweeds
I have just stated that Monsanto’s Roundup-Ready seeds are meant to resist Roundup, which kills weeds. “Superweeds” are weeds that have grown resistant to ordinary herbicides such as Roundup. Although Monsanto’s Roundup-Ready seeds were supposed to reduce the use of herbicides, farmers are using more herbicides today than they would have if they hadn’t begun using the GE seeds.
    Twenty four species of weeds have become resistant to the active ingredients in herbicides, prompting the use of even more weed killer. These “superweeds” steal nutrients from the crops, and their tough stems pose a major problem for farming equipment. Also, they must be removed by hand, which can be both expensive and time-consuming.
 
The history of Monsanto…
In 1901, John F. Queeny founded Monsanto, and in 1945, the company produced and marketed 2-4D (one of the most widely used herbicides in the world). In 1982, they first began to genetically modify seeds. Then in the 90s Monsanto created and marketed products such as BST (which increased the milk output by dairy cows) and Posilac, a hormone for dairy cows. In 1996, Roundup-Ready soybeans were introduced, with corn following a couple of years later.
    Even with all of this history, Monsanto wishes to cut ties with its former self…possibly for the controversy of all the chemicals that it has manufactured? This is a quote from their website: “Monsanto is a relatively new company. While we share the name and history of a company that was founded in 1901, the Monsanto of today is focused on agriculture and supporting farmers around the world in their mission to produce more while conserving more. We’re an agricultural company.”
    From 1965 to 1969, Monsanto was one of the nine wartime contractors who manufactured Agent Orange. Agent Orange (named so for the orange stripe on the containment drums) was a mixture of two herbicides: 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. It was used as a way to destroy forest cover and possible food supply for North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops; however, later it was revealed that it caused birth defects, tumors, psychological symptoms, and cancer – these were found among returning U.S. serviceman, their families and the Vietnamese population.


Monsanto and Europe…
In 1996, the UK was in shock over the Mad Cow Disease epidemic. They had just recently learned about the farming system the hard way, so when Monsanto hopped over the pond looking to market their Roundup-Ready soybeans, the public rebelled, suspicious of genetically engineered seeds. This was the rise of “Frankenfoods” and organizations such as Greenpeace; even Prince Charles struck out at Monsanto, saying that they were meddling with God’s work.
    While this event brought Monsanto’s name to Americans, it wasn’t necessarily in a positive light. The company attempted to win the English public’s adoration with a $1.6 million dollar ad campaign, to no avail.


Seed Saving…   
Seed saving is when farmers use the seeds and other biological material from their crops in the use of the next year’s planting. This is an age-old practice, one which farmers have been doing for hundreds of years. It saves money and keeps the farmer from having to buy new seed the following year; also, why throw out a seed that could be used to plant a crop the next year? It’s one of nature’s miracles, and Monsanto infringes on nature’s rules.
    Before 1980, seeds could not be patented. They were considered life forms. Then the U.S. Supreme Court extended the patent law so that it could cover “a live human-made microorganism.” Monsanto enforces their patent contracts strictly and they tie knots around unsuspecting farmers. According to these contracts, Monsanto’s genetically engineered seeds are not to be saved for the following year. This causes many problems as farmers are forced to buy new seeds each year and toss out perfectly useable seeds.
    In order to implement their contracts, Monsanto uses rather shady tactics; these include strong-arming farmers, secretly videotaping and photographing farmers, and using informants to collect information.
    Moe Parr was a seed cleaner in Indiana. He was sued by Monsanto for cleaning their genetically modified seeds. Moe was forced to settle with Monsanto because his legal bills became too high for him to afford. Monsanto says this of Moe Parr: “Mr. Parr is able to continue to clean conventional soybeans, wheat and other non-patented seed crops. Monsanto has agreed to forego the financial judgment as long as Mr. Parr honors the terms of the court order.”


In conclusion, Monsanto’s genetically engineered seeds have caused many problems including “superweeds,” which forced farmers to use even more herbicides on their crops. These crops, which eventually make their way onto our dinner table and into the mouths of our families, still retain an amount of these herbicides that are sprayed onto them. Monsanto also strong-arms farmers into obeying their patent-contracts, even venturing into underhanded tactics such as photographing them secretly.
    While Monsanto may mean our society nothing but good, the question is, are they really benefitting our country and the rest of the world?
