Lauryn Hill is a famous songwriter and poet whose work is balanced between sacred and secular. Even though all of her songs and poems are not about religion they still have strong meanings. In 2002 Lauryn Hill released a song called “The Mystery of Iniquity.” Through this song Ms. Hill expresses how the government attempts to hide the their unfair treatment.

The amazing band that I chose for this project is called Daft Punk. The album that I chose from this band is called Random Access Memory. The album came out in May 17, 2013. Daft Punk produces electronic music. The music in this album though is very upbeat getting you excited and making you want to dance. However, if you’re ever tired, this album has some relaxing music too. In the band, there are two men named Guy Manwell Decristo and Thomas Bangualtor. The two guys play bass, drums,…

For recording assignments of Sound Recording Techniques 1, we as a group endeavoured to record a cover of ‘Treasure’ by Bruno Mars. The song itself was written and produced by Bruno Mars, Ari Levine and Philip Lawrence who labelled themselves as ‘The Smeezingtons’. The original song is usually associated with the genres of Disco, Pop, Funk and Soul. The Smeezingtons claim that the song was inspired by ‘Baby I’m Yours’ by Breakbot, who is a french producer and DJ who claimed that Treasure was a…

Addressing a mass amount of people in hopes to produce a clear and concise message is achievable using proper public rhetoric. “Aristotle saw the function of rhetoric as the discovery in each case of the available means of persuasion” (Griffin, 2012). Ancient rhetoricians have produce principals that guide this art of persuasion that allow the message to be clear, concise, and persuasive.

Colbie Caillat is a pop artist who loves to love love, and she’s not afraid of letting the whole world know all about it repeatedly in her 2007 hit album, Coco. Her work was far from enjoyable, but in order to fully dislike her for her work on this album, and to prevent you from picking it up, or listening to another album like it, it’s important to understand some of her past history, such as the reasons that explain her desire to get into the music business in the first place. For instance,…

John M. Darley and Bibb Latane 's essay, "When will people help in a crisis?" could argue that people have become cold and should open their eyes to what is going on around them so they do not neglect the people surrounding them. We should agree with Darley and Lanate because there are people who choose to ignore those around them even when those people are being abused. One point Darley and Latane make is that American ideology is a leading cause of a lack of response when someone is in need.…

Experiencing this for years , I got fed up with it; which led me to experimenting with drugs , started skipping school, and started hanging out with the wrong group of people. The addiction…

As said by Bertrand Russell, “War does not determine who is right - only who is left.” It took me by surprise when I was walking by a store there happened to be a young man in a ragged united states military uniform sitting on the ground with a coffee can in between his boots. “Spare change for a soldier?”, Asked the young man. He looked up and asked a woman walking by. “Oh, you poor dear, All I have is 5 dollars on me”, said the woman with a doleful look on her face. I happened to be…

Coldplay is an influential aspect of American popular music because they originated at an awkward time in musical history and had to find a new direction to go in. In the late 1990s, there were so many different genres and styles of music and Coldplay shaped the way that the new bands would style their music. They also didn't believe in living the Rock ‘n' Roll lifestyle, which made them much better role models for the younger generation than previous popular musicians. Chris Martin said in a…
