Nickelback Essay

Improved Essays
Nickelback I chose to do my individual project over the rock band Nickelback. The group started out as an Indie metal band in Hanna, Alberta, Canada. It wasn’t until 2000, when they broke into the mainstream music scene in the U.S. and Canada. The band was created by the Kroeger brothers, Chad (the leader and vocalist) and Mike (the bassett). The Kroeger brothers always dreamed of a life of Rock and Roll. To complete the band, Ryan Peake, Ryan Vikedal?, and Brandon Kroeger (cousin of Chad’s and Mikes) joined and Nickelback was born. The band independently recorded their first album named EP (extended play) Hesher, in 1955. They sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and were the second best selling foreign acts in the U.S. of the 2000s, behind the Beatles. Nickelback has came out with 6 albums over the course of 21 years. The one I like the most and chose to write about is the album named All the Right Reasons which was released on October 4, 2005. It was originally made on a CD. The album was the 5th studio album made by the band. The album topped the American Billboard 200 and the Canadian Albums chart, and has sold over 18 million copies to this day.

Chad Kroeger describes this song as being the only real love song. He said the others ones talk about love but not about being in love. The song is about how a person will always love someone even through all the bad times. That sometimes people take their loved ones for granted and don’t realize it until the thought of death taking them away. Far Away became the band's fourth Top Ten Single from the All The Right Reasons album. This song has a slow tempo with 67 beats per minute and is written in the key of a B major. The style is rock/alternative metal and the instrumentation used throughout the song is lead vocals, backup vocals, piano, and

    During this week’s reading, my eye was caught by the actions of then-Governor of Arkansas Orval Faubus in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education II (1955). Even as he felt pressures from both the judicial and executive branches of government, he refused to comply with the new standards of racial equality. In 1955, the Supreme Court issued a decision on the case that came to be known as Brown v. Board of Education II, ruling that states must immediately end any segregation in their school systems immediately. Not surprisingly, many states in the South fought this new regulation tooth and nail, but the textbook raised one particularly interesting case: Governor Orval Faubus.…

    Wild steelhead (O. mykiss) populations are in decline across much of their native range. Nevertheless, steelhead remain an important sport fishery and a key management species for state and federal agencies. Steelhead managers are faced with a number of challenges associated with regulations and recovery goals imposed by the Endangered Species Act (ESA), while simultaneously attempting to maintain recreational angling opportunities. Factors affecting recruitment and survival of wild steelhead include hydroelectric dams, land development (e.g., urban sprawl), first nation treaty rights, and modern agricultural practices such as irrigation canals and catchments. Understanding the dynamics of wild and hatchery steelhead populations is fundamental to implementing effective regulations and effectively focusing management efforts to improve and perpetuate the resource.…

    Unbroken Essay

    Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken falls into a greatly interesting biographical category, bellying a compelling and immersive narrative of endurance when facing adversity, supported from associated historical sources. This all helps to create a sort of patchwork, contributing uniquely to going through the different sections, or “acts,” to Louis Zamperini’s life; from childhood days of delinquency, which would become channeled into an exceptional running career, spurned quickly by the call to World War II as a pilot, bringing about his captivity and torture at the hands of the Japanese. This encompasses the bulk of the story, with due emphasis given to the fallout of after the war ends, but the reasons for this being so effective is that Hillenbrand…

    At the beginning of the course when this assignment was explained, I automatically knew that I was going to choose Neil Young as my topic since he fits the criteria of the assignment perfectly. To begin with, Young was born on November 12, 1946 in Toronto Canada. From a young age, Neil was attracted to music and began to appreciate music more and more. Young promptly learned how to play folk songs on a plastic ukulele that his father gave him and then years later he accomplished to play acoustic guitar. His passion in music was so immense “that he formed his first band while being in junior high school” (Neil Young Biography).…

    Morrissey grew up in Manchester in a working-class family of Irish heritage. He developed an appreciation for music and literature in his youth and later became active in the city’s punk rock scene in the 1970s. After forming a punk band called The Nosebleeds from 1976 to 1978, he embarked on a career in music journalism in the early 1980s before starting a new band called The Smiths in 1982. With The Smiths, Morrissey achieved international acclaim, cultivating an image as an unlikely and unconventional rock star who eschewed the genre’s fame, glamor and hedonism.

    As technology continues to advance with every passing minute, it seems as if the idea of robots taking over human jobs, whether it be physical or intellectual, no longer seems too far off from reality. While it currently seems likely that machines are on a path to take over human jobs, many still feel uncomfortable with this becoming their reality.
