The Editorial Staff In a world dominated by the Internet, students are becoming more and more dependent on the web for their day-to-day lives. Whether it’s surfing the web on Google Chrome, giving their parents an update on Facebook or sending out a tweet, students lives are increasingly online. With that comes a lot of positive. Students have access to all of the information in … Continue reading Data protection and education
Jackson Cooper Staff Writer Where I work, I can tell when people are on a first date: their eyes are hopeful yet worried. There’s obviously an inner-monologue playing behind those eyes; in fact, I think they’re so wrapped up in the moment that they forget to pay me sometimes. They take their coffee — still no payment — and look around, gauging whether … Continue reading The top five first-date spots
Mark Parent Opinions Editor Unless you’ve been living in a hippie cult for the last three months, you’re well aware that Donald Trump is running for President. And, as a political junkie with an odd brain, I thought it would be cool to imagine a Donald Trump speech specifically tailored to the students of UNC-Greensboro. That’s right, grab your seat in the Aycock auditorium and … Continue reading The Trump Speech to UNCG
Our fourth branch is in need of a check Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief Last week, one of my colleagues at The Carolinian wrote on, what he deemed, the politics of outrage. He lambasted the American media culture and offered, what I believe are, several salient insights. I agree with much of what my colleague argued; however, as a young journalist, and a member of the collegiate … Continue reading Caught in the Middle
Adam Griffin Staff Writer The Statue of Liberty stands as a tall symbol in New York’s harbor. The words from her iron frame echo across the world: “Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp,” cries she with silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, … Continue reading Immigrant attitudes
Matt Wood Staff Writter We can hardly go a day without some spectacled, new-age media type telling us about the power of social media. And, to an extent, they’re right. Social media is a powerful tool. Ubiquitous access to the Internet empowers anyone who can put their thoughts into words or catch a transgression on a cellphone camera, to be heard by tens of thousands … Continue reading Life in Black lives matter?
Quinn Hunter Layout Editor I do not and will never condone the violence that has happened in connection to the #BlackLiveMatter movement. I also recognize that my colleague above has made some valid points; however, the way in which those points have been made is in a condescending tone, devaluing all that has been said. You have not known silence, until one who can never … Continue reading Defending #BlackLivesMatter
Jackson Cooper Staff Writer First, a rule: No chickens—ahem, children. If you’re afraid that alcohol will turn you into a fire-breathing, Shakira-worshipping sex demon, then get out. If you are that fire-breathing heathen, kindly pull up a chair and mix yourself a Cosmopolitan so you can enjoy this week’s tips: an all-inclusive and exclusive look into some of Greensboro’s most deliciously naughty (and … Continue reading The top five parties every Spartan must attend
Mark Parent Opinions Editor I like brunch. Like a lot. In fact, I’m as attached to brunch as a wannabe frat star is to light beer. So, I’m well aware of the fascination with this meal that has oddly been adopted by the greater part of the millennial generation. But why is it, I’ve always wondered, that millennials love brunch so much? I mean, obviously, … Continue reading Millennial Moment
Mark Parent Opinions Editor Our media culture is a joke; and it’s not even that funny. For a moment, think about all of the stories you’ve been exposed to over the last week. Odds are, very few of you will think of the stock market’s fall amid uncertainties about the Chinese economy, or that Greece’s Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras resigned and called another election or … Continue reading Politics of Outrage
