    Ruth Gomberg-Muñoz’s ethnography Labor and Legality uses a mixture of narrative, interviews, and observation to educate the reader about the lives of undocumented workers in the United States. Gomberg-Muñoz focuses specifically on a group in Chicago called the Lions and describes how this small group has managed to create their own culture made up of language, social structure, kinship, gender roles, and authority. Often the Lions have to navigate between three different cultures: the one they were raised in, in Léon; the American culture; and the one they created as undocumented workers. The Lions are from Léon, Guanajuato, Mexico so Spanish is their first language.…

    Speaking as a film and sports lover, it’s highly unlikely that historical sports dramas will ever get old. To this day, movies like Field of Dreams, Miracle, and Rocky continue to withstand the test of time – at least in my eyes. They’re ever more enjoyable whenever said productions tackle real life events, meaning Cool Runnings and A League of Their Own are unlikely to get old anytime soon, either. Outside of the major sports, though – it would appear track and field is beginning to take off cinematically. We’ve received a dramatized glimpse of it recently in Unbroken, which depicted Louis Zamperini’s trip to the 1936 Summer Olympics (popular sporting event, apparently), and also in McFarland, USA, which tells the story of Latino high school cross country team’s rise to statewide prominence.…

Humans need to learn to love this world along with living in the moment and sharing a symbiotic relationship with nature. Mary Oliver uses her poetry to demonstrate the importance of a biocentric universe by showing the reader how simplistic the natural world is.…
