...Austin Lawton 6/17/14 English 101 “Austin Lawton goes for the shot and hits. Oh no, he seems to be hurt. This is a horrific scene.” What if this is said? What if basketball isn’t there for me anymore? What will I fall back on? That is why I plan to get my degree in computer engineering. If basketball doesn’t work out, my fall back plan will be put to use using my degree. I’ve been around computers for as long as I can remember. My mom was a middle school principal so she was a little computer savvy. We had a computer and she used to put me on the internet and let me play games. When I got done playing the games I tended to roam around the computer. Not knowing that while I’m doing so it helped me get comfortable with a computer. I used to explore the settings, the internet, and almost any program my mom had on the computer. In elementary school I got enrolled in a summer program that was dealing with computers. We made PowerPoints, typed papers in Microsoft Word, and even searched the web. This is when I got interested in computers and felt like I knew everything I could about computers. Oh was I wrong, this was nothing but it was pretty impressive that a kid of my age was so advanced. My mom eventually got a new computer and needed help hooking it up. It was funny because she went to use the bathroom before we started. Me being impatient and curious, I wondered if I could hook it up by myself. So I tried and surprisingly I hooked the whole computer up before my mom could...

...mainstream music because that’s all I listen to. So hipsters, exit your browser by clicking the red x at the top left of your screen. Now to the example, yeah, yeah music is subjective but some artists need to be brought down to reality. Although my statements are usually done in the name of humor, I’m not one to judge others simply because they say something silly. However, rappers, please be aware that when you claim you’re the best, you’re opening the door for criticism. It’s normal for rappers to make such statements, but there’s a point when it goes too far. Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em – “Greatest rapper of the century” On a track titled Play Ball featuring Drake, Soulja Boy lets his fans know that he’s the greatest rapper of the century and that he’s got more bars than a f***** penitentiary. Now I have nothing against Soulja Boy and those lines weren’t too bad, hardly rapper of the century material though. My favorite Soulja Boy song is Outer Space anyways. #4 Wasting Money at the Movies I hear people saying that you shouldn’t worry about the reviews for a movie before deciding to watch it because you should just make up your own mind about the movie. But how many terrible movies are you going to sit through or stop watching halfway before realizing that it’s a waste of your time and money? Five? One? What if Selena Gomez was in the movie? Critics can at least give you some idea if a movie is going to be good or not, I think that’s a good investment for a product where there...

...insult to the music that they were making. But what many failed to realize was that Nas has achieved a great deal in his career, which made others artists work harder to compete. When you think of Hip Hop a few artists probably come to mind – Wale, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Drake, etc. When you hear them rap it is as if the beat was made to fit their flow instead of the other way around. Jay-Z once said that “once you hear a beat you must find your place in that beat”. In my opinion certain artists have perfected the pocket presence inside of a beat such as Kanye West, B.o.B. to name a few. Many of them hold the “southern ring tone music movement” which is said to be responsible for the Death of Hip hop. This movement was led by artist such as Soulja Boy, D4L, and New boys because their nursery rhymes lyrics have no meaning and its only purpose is to get the youth to the dance floor. Auto-Tune also threw the rap world into frenzy while artist like T-Pain mastered the craft others have totally massacred it. Once again Jay-Z came to the rescue with his single Death of Auto-tune and ended this well over-due phase in Hip Hop. As far as the current state of Hip Hop, it is on the rise again with the release of The Carter IV, G.o.o.d Kid M.a.a.d City and 2.0. Conscious rappers are taking the art back. I believe that Hip Hop needs to return to the art of storytelling where a kid from the streets of Brooklyn can tell his tale of hustling to pay bills for his single parent home. A child from...

It also encompasses spirits, arts - to include visual, musical, and dance, cinema, literature and food. American Culture has been heavily influenced by the Europeans, British, and other Eastern World Civilizations. Our National holidays, sporting events, military and even our government all have been influenced by Eastern World Civilization. Our architectural designs, cars, fashion, and firearms all have Eastern influences. Calendars are a major influence on holidays and US history and religious traditions. National patriarchs, US history and Religious traditions are all a part of the reason that the United States observes holidays and traditions. National holidays like Washington’s Birthday, Independence Day and Christmas are just a few of the traditions and holidays that are influenced by Religion, National patriarchs and US history. In 1879, Washington's Birthday was declared a National holiday by an act of Congress.

However there are so many theories that offer different perspectives that it is hard to actually find one single theory that offers a complete solution or conclusion to how the media in the online age has impacted culture and people globally. Firstly if we look into the idea of utopian theories, which is the idea that the development in the online age has now started to take down obstacles for audiences which has lead to greater opportunities of them. Jenkins came up with the term ‘participatory culture’ which is the theory that amateur people are now taking part in making professional products are sharing them to an audience. Examples of this are people like Soulja boy who made a song and music video, released it on Youtube and people took notice to it, after which he got picked up by a record company and started to get recognized globally.

...How Has YouTube Changed The Music Industry? The people in control of the music business have always been threatened by new media. When the phonograph record originally emerged it was feared that it would kill off live music. In the early ‘80s the music industry campaigned against the cassette tapes, claiming that, “home taping is killing music.” Retrospectively, in both cases, quite the opposite proved true. The most recent example of this would take shape in the form of the internet, and more specifically one of it’s most visited mediums, YouTube. YouTube has become the third most visited website in the world behind Google and Facebook. Since its creation in February, 2005, YouTube saw rapid growth; sixteen months after its creation, 100 million clips were being viewed per day. YouTube users have developed a community in which technology has enabled new kinds of musical creativity. The internet and YouTube have now become technology that challenge the way we perceive music, musician and audience. Teens evidently don’t see computers as technology. It’s as if they have developed an innate ability for text-messaging, iPodding, gaming, and multitasking on multiple platforms. They can share their life story on Facebook, entertain each other on YouTube, muse philosophically in the blogosphere, contribute to knowledge on Wikipedia, and create cutting-edge art on Flickr. (Hartley, 2009) Lange (2008), an ethnographic researcher, discussed a number of misconceptions people have...
