The Musical Instrument Museum, Phoenix Public Library, and the Phoenix Art Museum have key characteristics that represent the landscape as well as their functionality. It can be said that the design of these buildings are similar and at the same time completely different in the way that they represent the landscape. The Instrument museum was designed by Rich Varda, an award-winning architect. The construction began on February 2008 and the museum opened its doors in April 2010. The Phoenix…

As our societal expectations have shifted over the years, the points of equity and equality continuously remain at the forefront of education’s challenges.

Our plot along this new frontier fell below the fabled epicenter of Silicon Valley—sliding down California past Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and Orange County—to the aptly named city of Phoenix, Arizona.

What do you imagine about classic western style? Is it a cowboy with extreme action performance and masculinity? Or is it old good days and farming a big land with a horse? Probably, you imagine everything what you see on a classic movie and typical western shows. American history shows Americans’ hope to our future. The best way to learn the foundation of this country is going to historical museum. Buffalo Bill Museum is one of the museums where people see the historical western artifacts and…

age and health are too much of a concern on its own, which is a positive because that means we only need to worry about diverting their attention away from the candidates lackluster attendance in the senate in his last term. The poll showed us that Arizona constituents feel that regular strong attendance is a key in order for a senator to be doing well so we need to steer the attention away from Goldwater’s attendance record to his stances on popular voter concerns as…
