We all believe that someone else will come to help the people that are suffering; this is the bystander effect. When no one stands up to help, the problem will never be resolved. Harriet Tubman, however, was not one of these people. Tubman was described as, "one of the best and bravest persons on this continent." People held her in great regard and this quote describes how much she…

Most songs on the Hamilton Mixtape are excellent such as Satisfied covered by Sia and It’s Quiet Uptown covered by Kelly Clarkson. Both Clarkson and Sia offer great vocals and excellent background effects and music. Helpless, featuring Ashanti and Ja Rule has a strong groove and R&B sound. The use of all these great song take this album with a new meaning that the musical has been about the audience and us as a society today in an explicit way.

of human sacrifice as an example and calls into question the dubiousness of moral relativity in such a situation. According to moral relativity even if “we” were to disagree on such a practice, if that society practices the act (Bernard citing the Ashanti tribe) approves of it, then we have no place in interfering with the tribe. Williams also points out that any society must have a sort of universal moral standard for it to even exist. He notes how any society will have certain standards…

My parents are from Ghana, but I was born in America; people refer to me as “Americanized.” Other than being able to speak the language, Twi, I have never really been into the Ghanian traditions or any of their cultural rituals that are practiced. A couple of weeks ago, my cousin got married, and, in Ghanian culture, we have what is called a “traditional wedding.” The traditional wedding is completely different from the typical weddings that we are accustomed to. I actually did not plan on…

Going to two of the most popular museums in New York City to learn about African art and history did not seem of interest to me until I was forced to by the Summer Class I was taking at Pace. In my mind I kept thinking it was going to be a waste of my time when I could be enjoying my summer weekend in the city. However, I was mistaken and my breath was taken away from our history of humans to the African tradition and how it impacts us. This project showed me the connection of art and history in…
