Social media has greatly impacted our society within the past decade. Today people rely on social media for entertainment, news, and for work purposes. As of now more than 86% of teenagers are on some type of social media networking site (Greenwood). Many parents of teenagers see social media as a waste of time. According to one article, teenagers are on their phones nearly nine hours a day (Tsukayama). With that being said many teenagers are now starting to use social media for school purposes…
There is almost nothing that makes my job easier as an interviewer than asking questions of an actor who is confident in his/her abilities and is able to present himself/herself as a well-rounded, talented, fascinating human being. In Lisa Temple 's case, that is exactly what she did with the questions she recently agreed to answer. She offered fresh insight into her early passions, her notable works, and her upbeat outlook on the industry as a whole. One of my favorite headshots! One of my…
Scott Sturgeon, the author of “Philosophy: The Great Debate”, talks about philosophy and the existence of God. Sturgeon states that every culture believes in a different God. He mentions that people always believed that there is more in life than everything we see and touch. Sturgeon asked us many questions whether God exists because of a psychological defense-mechanism or because of a common experience for all humans that led them to believe in God? Sturgeon talked about Theism which means the…
NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. They are the U.S. government agency responsible for science and technology related to air and space(Dunbar, NASA.gov). NASA was created in 1958 at the beginning of the Cold War with the goal winning the Space Race (Sandra, NASA.gov). The Space Race started in 1957, when the Soviets launched the Sputnik satellite. They won the Space Race by getting a man to the moon first (Barry, history.nasa.gov). After Neil Armstrong walked on the…
seem to agree with Stacy about what song they should listen to; he wanted to hear a song about guinea pigs. And clearly, there were no hit radio singles about those cute, cuddly critters. So Sam began to sing a parody of “Soft Kitty” from The Big Bang Theory, but replaced “kitty” with “hamster” (just because he believed guinea pigs and hamsters were one and the same) and “purr” with...out of all things, “squeak” before bursting into laughter. The only place guinea pigs squeaked, however, was in…
“The Universe Next Door” by James Sire provides insight into the various opposing worldviews society faces today. Beginning with the Pre-Modern thoughts that believe in God’s existence, spanning to the Modern view placing matter in the center of reality, and concluding with the Postmodern thoughts which deny the existence of reality. Throughout the semester we have discussed several of these viewings of the world, noting some views appear to be more practical than others. With the use of…
it. It’s a book that I would want to read again from page one to the end. At the end everything has a meaning. For example, O’ Connor made a smart choice by naming the character “Hazel Mottes”. Hazel is an eye color, and it seems as his eyes are a big part of the book. Not because he can see, but rather know what he wants. As Sabbath said, ““I like his eyes,” she observed. “They don’t look like they see what he’s looking at but they keep on looking”…
Scientists point out the importance of the big bang theory, which basically states that the universe originated billions of years ago in an explosion from a single point of nearly infinite energy density. The theory states that before the universe existed, there was nothing, which implies that the universe came up out of nowhere, out of nothing. This fact contradicts the first…
1997 until 2006, but the purchasing power of $5.15 in 1997 in today's dollars is 7.63 (using May CPI) but the purchasing power of $5.15 in 2006 is equal to $6.07 (using May CPI) today. So someone who was earning minimum wage in 1997 was getting more bang for their buck that someone who was earning minimum wage in 2006, which is one of the reasons leading to congress raising the minimum wage in…
Companies are struggling with determining what paths they should take in their marketing campaigns. Today’s consumers are less effected by advertisements, they have become immune to commercials and no longer read newspapers or magazines. There are theories and marketing techniques that have been developed in order to determine; how to attract new customers, how to create brand loyalty, how to influence consumer to consumer relations, and what is the best way to market to the “new age” consumer.…
