1960s music groups

The counterculture movement of the 1960s reflected an American society that was self-serving and un-patriotic to some, but to others, it was a reflection of a liberating and pleasure-seeking America. There were clear distinctions at this time between the “old” and the “new”. Baby boomers rejected the cultural standards of their parents because they wanted to pursue their own versions of happiness, but their parents’ generation believed that they were destroying the democratic ideals that…

the surface of what the Hippie micro culture has to offer, I discovered that there is a much deeper history the led to the actions involved in the Hippie Movement. Hippies of the 1960s and 1970s had a very untraditional lifestyle, but they had an immense amount of passion with every part of their life. Whether is was music or silence, loving or hating, hippies always pursued their actions to the fullest fury, and felt everything in life to the extreme. Fran proved to me that being a hippie is a…

I don’t know how the wonderful music history of Memphis pass me by but somehow It did! I have always heard that Memphis is known for its music history, especially the blues, but I never investigated the theory for myself. The instructor at the college challenged me to write a paper about the history of the Stax Museum in a reflection paper and I am really glad she did. It influenced me to finally take the time to view the history of Memphis firsthand starting with the Stax Museum. The research,…

America is browning. As politicians, schoolteachers, and grandparents attempt to decipher what that might mean, Richard Rodriguez argues America has been brown from its inception, as he himself is. As a brown man, I think . . . (But do we really think that color colors thought?) In his two previous memoirs, Hunger of Memoryand Days of Obligation, Rodriguez wrote about the intersection of his private life with public issues of class and ethnicity. With Brown, his consideration of race, Rodriguez…

ministry was in directing people to her, and looking back on it now, their lack of involvement tainted my view of what pastoral ministry truly is. When I was seventeen I had the unique opportunity to go to England on a missions trip with my youth group. Bitter sweet tragedy struck when my sister called me from across seas and told me that she had the opportunity to personally lead my father to the Lord just before he had a stroke that had put him into a coma. I immediately came home to find…

Parents and their children hold special bonds that they do not share with anyone else. The relationship between a farther and child is nothing that could be replaced with someone else. Once the farther is in an unhealthy relationship with their child it is almost impossible to fix the damage if the farther ever tries to fix it. In the poems Daddy and My Papa’s Waltz it shows how unhealthy relationships with a farther and their children take a mental toll on the children weather they are beating…

Different Gender, Both Humans Since the time we are born or even since the time our parents know they having a boy or a girl, we are socialized into rules and what does it means to be a boy or a girl. The set of beliefs, norms and practices depends in the place we live. Our family, friends and the media around us it what shape our culture and through them we are socialized into society. What is the first thing that comes in mind what a person thinks about a little girl? The color pink, dresses,…

manages to include a large number of personalities in a fashion that is far from cluttered. Each and every character works in a congruent manner that is smooth and coherent. By including a variety of characters this allows Tolkien to highlight the main group, but also allow others to play an important role throughout his stories. When compared to other writings, authors often only include one or two main characters for the reader to attach to; this strategy severely limits the audience when…

Men and women have always differed in terms of salary. This has been true for many years and still continues today. Equality in the work force has always been a common issue of debate because of the pay gap that exists. The pay gap not only effects women but also effects people of minorities. Though there has been progress in working towards reducing the gap and creating a more equal environment for all, there is still much progress to be done. In the working world, as of 2012 women made 80.9…
