Although many years have passed since our country’s independence from Britain, and many things have changed; but if there is one thing that will always stay the same it’s the fact that this country is all about money money money- and how to get more of it. Over time we also learn another thing; that class warfare is controlled not only by economics, but by culture as well. Years ago, French sociologist Pierre Bordieu argued, "culture is a way of distinguishing between positions in the cultural

reportedly give me a calm, easy going trip. How wrong these reports turned out to be. Part I: The Beginning of the End (T+000) Planning to walk around in the woods, I take the self-prepared capsule at around 3 in the afternoon on a Friday. After about 30 minutes, I leave my dorm and head towards my destination. The come up is extremely jarring. Instead of a smooth gradual immersion into the new world, I go from normal, to feeling slightly weird, to being out of my mind, over the span of the next 30 minutes

writing is casual by looking at how the reviewer mentions the more crude examples of Lil Wayne’s work. In order for zcamp to write his review, he had to have listened to the entire album he is reviewing and know of Lil Wayne’s other albums to compare. Since he compares the album he is reviewing to Lil Wayne’s previous works, he had to know what his other albums sound like. He also mentions a drink in his review that Lil Wayne made up called “sizzurp”. Zcamp talks about how Lil Wayne went to the hospital

What is Music? The problem with answering the question “What is music?” is understanding what would constitute a proper answer. Music arises from human behaviour, and the study of human behaviour is part of biology. So any question about music is a question about biology, and every question about biology requires an answer within the framework of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. 2.1 Music is Something We Like What is music? It’s what comes out of the speakers when we play

The exhibit that I chose was in my home town of Delphos, OH. The Delphos Area Art Gallery (DAAG) had a photography exhibit. Most of the art work was anonymous which I found interesting to no be able to put a face or name to the work of art. Specific piece of work that I enjoyed was a photo that I did not understand at first. It was in black in white and rather small. I passed by it quickly not to take a second glance. I came back to it towards the end of the show to study the picture more closely

The death of a loved one can take a mental and emotional toll on an individual. Their minds begin to wander, thinking about how and why this happened, trying to answer the questions that cannot be answered. Imagination takes over and a sea of powerful thoughts and attitudes take over. This happens to Orleanna Price, from Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible. Upon the death of her youngest daughter Ruth May, her mind evokes complicated and mixed feelings over time. These attitudes of confusion

tentative, but clearly emerging sexual freedom of the late 1950s, seen through the lens of the middle of the Sexual Revolution in the 1970s. It’s about the near carnal passion 1950s teenagers felt for their rock and roll, the first art form that actually changed human sexuality. (The phrase rock and roll was originally African American urban slang for sexual intercourse, going as far back as the 1920s, and it made its way onto many rhythm and blues recordings before the 1950s.) As theatre, Grease finds its

$12,000 and the banks would give it to him. Around this time music really took a turn for the best, jazz players, blues bands, and swing; the rocking beat that the flappers would dance and swing too. Times were different then, some say next to the 80s; the 20s was the best time for adolescents. Entertainment and pop

of advice ever given to me was by a man I have never talked to, a man I have never seen. In fact, this man died way before the day I was born. This man is Mahatma Gandhi. I remember it vividly. I was surfing the internet for profound and motivational quotes worthy enough to be posted on my sacred Facebook wall. While I searched, I could hear my mom vacuuming downstairs while my sister blasted her Finnish, heavy metal music as if she was challenging my mom in a battle over who could make the most

My Grandma Sissy stayed at my house this week. While she was sitting in the living room watching the dogs I asked if I could ask her some questions about her life for a project. The fifteen minute interview taken that afternoon is as follows: Q: Where and when were you born? A: I was born in 1945 in Hobbs, New Mexico. Q: And you have brothers and sisters, right? A: Yes, four brothers and no sisters. I’m 73 so my oldest brother is 75 [Carlton]. Then I had a brother [Charlie] who was killed in a car
