About Me

 Hi! My name is Abby Weiss. I'm from Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, right in the heart of the Poconos. I am an Exercise Science, Pre-PA major, and hope to become a physician's assist in the ER or a Level 1 Trauma Unit. My main goals while attending High Point is to make the most every opportunity, do well in my classes, and make lasting friendships. I have played softball since I was 9, and I will be playing on High Point's club team. I also enjoy snowboarding, skydiving, hiking, traveling, and anything that has to do with water, or being outside. I hope to travel to all 50 states, right now I have been to 18 of them! I am excited for what High Point has to offer, and the opportunities I create for myself due to that.

EOTO Recap - California Reagents v Bakke

 California Reagents v Bakke Mock Trial Recap     In class we had the opportunity to go through the motions of the California Reagents v. Bakke trial. This was a very prominent case, signifying whether affirmative action and minority quotas were Constitutional and would be permitted to continue on within schools and corporations. The case began when Allan Bakke; veteran, NASA intern, and med-school applicant, was denied twice from University of California at Davis.

Each side made advanced on their case, allowing for each side to further progress regarding its motives.  Pro slavery was raging in the south. Southerners claimed that slavery was ethical, constitutional, and good for the economy. In order to push their point further, pro-slavery folk created crafty and even law abiding ways to advance their goal of making the United States a country of slavery.   The Kansas-Nebraska Act was enacted in 1854. It created two new territories, Kansas and Nebraska. These territories allowed for popular sovereignty in regards to slavery, meaning the people inhabiting the land chose if slavery was going to be allowed there or not. This ability to choose whether slavery was going to legal or illegal in the territories caused a major pushback from the...

Speech Theories

Speech Theories      Free Speech is monumental and valuable to the American culture; quite frankly, it makes America, America. After evaluating the eight speech theories used by scholars to describe and understand the premise of free speech in the United States, I was able to conclude which was the most valuable to American society. The eight speech theories are, Marketplace of Ideas, Participation in Self-Government, Stable Change, Individual Self Fulfillment, Check on Governmental Power, Promote Tolerance, Promote Innovation, and Protect Dissent. The theory that I found to be most prominent and valuable, was Individual Self Fulfillment.      The speech theory of Individual Self Fulfillment is described as the ability to express one's individuality and create their own identity.
