(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/20/2018 10:02 AM EDT Stereotypically bulls are seen as strong creatures that are angry and aggressive. In Hispanic cultures, they are used for sport and bullfighting and, as the bull, being chosen to "fight" the Matador is considered an honor. From the time they are born these bulls are groomed to be fighters in the ring. But what if they ar... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/19/2018 11:07 AM EDT Lego is a huge corporation that has expanded their universe over the past several years, incorporating new ways to get their products out to the public. This endeavor has included branching out into movies and television and showcasing well-known and beloved characters. In 2016, they decided to lend their name to probably the most well-...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/19/2018 10:23 AM EDT Who is to say what constitutes love? There are all types of love in the world. Love for your fellow human, romantic love, love of a pet, love of food or certain flavors, etc. that others can't necessarily understand. Currently, all over the world, love is under attack because some feel it is immoral to have same-sex love (both phy... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/14/2018 5:05 PM EDT In 1996, gamers worldwide were introduced to Lara Croft in the video game Tomb Raider. Described as "Indiana Jones with breasts", she became an instant hit with the heavily male based demographic. In 2001, Paramount Pictures brought Croft to life in the form of Angelina Jolie (Wanted; Mr. & Mrs. Smith) when Lara Croft:... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/12/2018 10:54 AM EDT In 1994, the world watched as one of the biggest sports scandals unfolded before our eyes. The drama took center stage on an international level that culminated at the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. The story, of course, was the physical attack on figure skater Nancy Kerrigan and the accusations that her competitor Tonya Hardin... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/8/2018 3:35 PM EDT Vincent Van Gogh is often considered the father of Modern Art. He is revered as one of the most influential painters and his legacy is one of respected artistry mixed with stories of his madness.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/8/2018 8:20 AM EDT In 1962, American Writer Madeleine L'Engle published the novel, A Wrinkle in Time. While it won critical acclaim, it was controversial in that it was a Science Fiction novel with a young, female protagonist.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/5/2018 1:59 PM EDT Teenage girls can be a handful. Considering I used to be one and have two of my own now, I can attest to this statement. Emotions run high and physical bodily changes make things awkward and downright hostile sometimes. Teenagers in general (boys and girls) want more independence and challenge their parents constantly while naviga... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/5/2018 12:23 PM EDT For the last ten years, Marvel Studios has brought some of our favorite superheroes to life. From Ironman to Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk to Captain America, they have peaked our imagination. They even gave us more comical characters like Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool. In 2011, Marvel introduced audience... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/2/2018 4:31 PM EDT There is no pain worse in the world than losing a child. As a parent, you feel helpless and often times lost.
