...-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eat Your Heart Out | Paper Magazine Does a Super (Duper) Market Culture, Food By JANE HERMANJuly 13, 2012, 1:30 pm 2 Comments Paper Magazine's Super (Duper) Market Atisha Paulson Brucie Atisha Paulson Scribe Winery Atisha Paulson 123Loading “I’m crying. And dying,” Paper magazine’s Kim Hastreiter says halfway through the tour of her Super (Duper) Market, which will be open Friday through the weekend in Manhattan’s meatpacking district. She is completely elated and, more important, satiated, by what’s in store: “The best ice cream (Humphry Slocombe), the best cornbread (Red Rooster), the best olive oil (Sciabica’s),” she says. Here, at what is a smorgasbord of carefully procured and exquisitely packaged food stuff, all the stars of Hastreiter’s bicoastal culinary-craft world collide. The vendors hail mostly from Brooklyn (Empire Mayonnaise, Morris Kitchen, Mile End) and California’s Bay Area (Boulettes Larder, Modern Appealing Clothing, Tartine Bakery and Cafe). “I’m kind of a maven, and these are really my favorite things,” says Hastreiter pointing to the Tang Brothers noodle stand. “Those are, like, the best noodles.” Walk through the mart and you might sample homemade mozzarella on honey-drizzled toast from the Cobble Hill restaurant Brucie, buy a Sol LeWitt star bowl (Hastreiter’s pick) at...

...Kids Can Make a Difference Teen activists are peaceful, cooperative, and hardworking. One thing they all have in common is that they all want to help the world, just in different ways. The three teens that helped the world be a better place are Malala Yousafzai who wanted girls to have education rights, Alex Lin who refurbished and recycled E-waste, and Iqbal Masih who helped stop. These young people fought for what they think is right. Not only they think what they are doing is right they know it is right. First, teen activist Malala Yousafzai believes in peace. In the Youtube “Malala Speaks Out” she says, “ If a Taliban comes into my house would you hit him with your shoe”, and Malala said, “ No, I would let the Taliban do his business to me and then he will leave.” This quote explains that Malala would not hurt a terrorist and she is protesting...

...Malala Yousafzai is the youngest-ever Nobel peace prize winner and not only has she recovered from dreadful injuries after being shot by the Taliban, but has gone on to become a champion for the rights of women everywhere to be educated. Yousafzai’s use of rhetoric in her speech is amazing for her age as she always stays composed and speaks very clearly and forcefully. Malala is able to get the audience to pay attention to her from the beginning. Malala uses rhetorical strategies to convey her message, not as a victim of violence but as a champion against it. Throughout the novel, Malala uses descriptive language and anecdotes about her life, which contribute to the emotion that her writing elicits within the reader. Malala uses pathos by throwing attention off herself by saying she is just one out of many. "One girl among many" (Yousafzai,189). She speaks not for herself but for all the women who were illiterate because they were not educated. “It is not at all uncommon for women in my country to be illiterate, but to see my mother struggle to read the prices in the bazaar was an unspoken sadness for both of us” (Yousafzai, 23). The quote from the novel I Am Malala is an example of pathos because she uses her uneducated...

...LeBron James once quoted, “I like criticism, it makes you strong.” In this quote, Lebron talks about criticizing things for the better. The more criticism, the better things will turn out and the stronger you'll be as an individual. In the world there are millions of people who criticize society due to many outstanding factors like being in the social rights movement , having your right to education taken away, and living in poverty. Muhammad Ali is often referred to as GOAT, which stands for the Greatest of All Time due to his boxing achievements.(PalmBeachPost, Muhammad Ali) Ali boxed and joined the black separatist movement while citing his religion to avoid serving in the military during the Vietnam War. He was convicted of draft evasion which resulted in his boxing license being revoked and five years in prison; eventually the appeal was turned over and Ali no longer had to serve his time in prison. After boxing, Muhammad Ali dedicated most of his life to providing humanitarian aid and peace while participating in the civil rights movements. Ali criticized the system of war, the current government policies and challenged the status quo because of it; in this way Ali became an inspiration for other black people to fight for their rights and to make a change....

...Recently, I read the novel "I am Malala." This book inspired me to understand the horrors of terrorism and how brave Malala really is. I truly realize how bad the Taliban are and what a hard life Pashtuns have to go through. Malala wasn't always strong selfless and brave but her tough life developed her into a hero. Before, things got really crazy in Pakistan, Malala was not brave enough to put her thoughts to action, but she was curious. For example from the novel "I am Malala", Malala stated that "the men would sit in the men's guest room and drink tea and talk politics." Malala would then "wander away from the children's games, tip-toe through the women's quarters, and join the men. That, it seemed to me, was where something exciting and...

...“When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty.”(– John Basil Barnhill) What the quote is trying to say is if you fear the government, they will feel more powerful. Then if the government fears us, we will all be more powerful then them. And this is what is going to be discussed today. The government has ruled and brought fear to blacks, Mexicans, and girls. But not to worry; Dr. king, Chavez and Yousfzai will fight back and there going to make the government fear us. What Dr. king is fighting about is; blacks should have equal rights just like whites do. For example you can’t say you hate a piece of cake because you don’t the color. It’s about how it’s good inside not what it looks like outside. In Chavez speech, he is fighting for Mexicans to stop being forced into farm labor. Lastly in...

... and politics . However that's where the United States culture and Malalas culture in pakistan differ when it comes to the role of women. Good examples of this is the women's role in the house, the woman's right to go to school, and how a woman acts, dresses, and etc in both cultures. Each example shares a role in the differences of cultures. Up until about the 1960s, both United states and Pakistan's culture were similar in the role of a woman's place in the household. It's referred to as the traditional family, wife stays at home and cooks, cleans, and cares for the children. In many ways this was expected of the women in both cultures and education for women never exceeded very high results. But after the 1960s into the 1970s, women in the united states started to get better careers and realize there is no need for a man's dependence. They did not need to be confined in a house all day and could become more independent in their fields. This is where the cultures started to fall completely different. In islam culture and in Malala culture, the women is expected to find a husband. Give her husband children. Then stay at home, and do the cures expected of her. Malalas mother at the age of six dropped out because she knew what was expected of her culture as a women. “there seemed no point in going to school to just end up cooking, cleaning, and bringing up children”Malala. Even in today's modern 21st century, this is how it is in...

...“Stand up for what you believe in, even if it means you're standing alone.” (the daily quotes). People how do the right thing have to fight against haters, these people are called activists. Most of the people on earth blend in with the society and watch activists do work for them on TV or the newspaper. one reason so many people are bystanders is because activists face many haters. This can make them feel like it's them against the world. There are people who fight for peace or equality just like Malala, yitzhak rabin, and martin luther king jr. Malala is just one teenage girl with the extraordinary power of speech fighting against a group of religious men called the Taliban who fight with a very different power-- called violence.

...The cause of the issue girls’ education being ignored is because of the fact that girls’ in impoverished nations support the family, of family honor, of inadequate facilities, and lack of female teachers. For example, the events that happened to Malala Yousafzai and other girls like her. Raising awareness to this issue is significant for all people are equal, and this doesn’t seem equal. A group of people may disagree with me on this issue, but I hope to change their minds with what I need to say. That group might say that men are superior and girls are inferior and that is how it is, however I disagree. I disagree since there are several advantages of educating girls’. The key point is that “Grown up educated girls can play an essential role...

...Joseph Campbell, a famous writer, famously once said “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself ”. Campbell’s quote perfectly describes the ideal hero through their bravery and sacrifice. The Iliad, an Epic by Homer, describes an ancient Greek war between the Achaean army and the Trojan army ten years before the fall of Troy. A brave Achaean warrior, Achilles, is known for being well-respected and feared by his enemies. He leads his men into action with much ferocity and bravery. Outside of literature, Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani, received the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts on promoting education for women in the Middle East. She became a target by the Taliban because she was a role model for women controlled by the Taliban which they did not like. In Homer’s epic poem, The Iliad, the protagonist Achilles most closely fits the canon of “a hero”, as portrayed by Malala in her speech as a person who puts others before themselves, because they both risked their lives for the sake of another and they both were compassionate even towards their enemies....

...Malala Yousafzai’s strong courage and grit against the poor girls’ education she was trying to resolve had brought her much attention from the media. However, in the end, many have begun to think that the media was why she got into the danger. Both Syed Irfan Ashraf and Adam Reily agree that the huge coverage of media on Malala put her in the spotlight and in more danger, however, Adam also points out how this may have helped her become more passionate and allow others to have a better understanding of the current girls’ education system she was trying to improve. In Ashraf’s article he states that, “Despite knowing full well that Malala’s secrecy was slippery and the revengeful Taliban would settle scores with the child protagonist when they...
