Winter Formal

At 12:15 on Friday, January 19, students rushed out of the Abcarian building halls, hoping they would have enough time to get ready for the long awaited, formal. Guys put on their best suits and the girls slipped into their best dresses, anxiously waiting to see what their friends are going to wear. Members of specific grade levels gathered earlier together to start the celebration and take lots of pictures. Soon students started rolling into the beautifully decorated hall in Metropol. The night started off with dining, along with the occasional dancing to the Armenian music being played. However, as the music got more intense, students could not get off the dance floor.

What is Net Neutrality?

Net neutrality is the concept of having free access to the Internet. When an individual accesses the Internet, they expect to freely visit any website at any time. The concept prohibits Internet service providers like AT&T and Verizon from blocking, speeding, or slowing down any applications or websites we use. Net neutrality allows individuals the power to exhibit their right of having freedom of speech and communication online. On account of net neutrality, we are able to freely post any data of our choosing online. The Internet has always adhered to this concept, therefore it was quite shocking to hear how it was being dismantled. On Thursday, December 14th, the Federal Communications Commission voted on dismantling the rules which would prevent internet service providers from having access to the internet. This action reversed the decision made in 2015 under the Obama administration, which was aimed at having more control over the providers. However, according to the new F....
