artists, poets, and musicians emerged to ignite what was known as the Black Arts Movement in the mid 1960s. One of the artists who emerged from this era was Ernest Barnes. Known as the “Picasso of the black world,” Barnes was born in Durham, North Carolina, and was known for his artistic expression of the African American lifestyle. “The Sugar Shack” was one of his most widely renowned paintings, since it fully captured the vivid imagination and form Barnes was known for.

As the clock winds down on the scoreboard and the Super Bowl game comes to a close, the Denver Broncos celebrate their win with champagne and confetti. However, the losers, the North Carolina Panthers make their way back into the locker room with their heads hanging low from such a devastating loss. All the news and media can talk about for the next week is who won and lost the Super Bowl. For example, the news was all over Cam Newton, and how upset he was in his post game interview about…

sure to try to prevent these types of injuries. Usually trainers help either colleges or pro teams come up with fitness and exercise routines. Salary depends on the the size of the company but the median salary is around $41,043 annually (“North Carolina Colleges Offering a Major in Athletic Training/Trainer.”) Considering what these trainers do that’s honestly incredible that they get paid that much. It seems to me like it would be a really fun and tedious job. I think the biggest benefits…

According to Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL says that ¨the league is more safer than it has been over the past thirteen years¨ but during the games there have been times that the players deliver heavy hits to the head and they just get up like if it's nothing. Not to mention, they start to forget what happened the last twenty four hours and also begin to start vomiting, which can lead to a concussion protocol and end their football career for good if they get more than three…

Bandwagon Fans Do you know of a person who always roots for the best team in each sport they like to watch? Does this person switch teams each year based on which team is number one? If so, this person is more than likely a bandwagon fan in the sports society. I see people every year who wear different sports team shirts because the team they liked the previous year isn’t as good as they were, and I think it’s a disgrace to true fans like myself. People create problems by being bandwagon fans…

Part 2: Sociological Analysis Using Sociological Theory We define sociological perspective as, “theories in sociology are propositions that explain the social world and help to make predictions about future events,” (Chapter 1.3 slide #3).

ice, but was pushed around often and unable to stand up for himself, He would tell me Doug, if you could just learn how to skate, you could probably make some noise (Smith).” Doug was playing in a summer league game for fun and got a call from the Carolina Thunderbirds of the ACHL to be the fighter of there team. He didn’t make the team at first, but kept training and got invited to play with the team after a mere two months (Rothbart). Doug went on to play 10 seasons of pro hockey and even made…

Vince Lombardi once asked “If it doesn 't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?” Scoring points is a major factor in winning a football game, but stopping the opposing team from scoring helps too. So you might simply ask, just how important is scoring points versus the amount of points that a team allows to be scored on them? Here the correlation between three variables will be examined to come to a consensus of whether the points scored or points allowed correlates with the…

eventually got drafted in the NFL. The baltimore ravens picked Michael Oher for the 23rd pick in round 1 of 2009. He played for the Baltimore Ravens for four year. Then was moved to the Tennessee Titans for one year and has been playing for the north Carolina Panthers for the last 3 years as well. I really love this book because I can relate to this book in some ways not in all but in some, Michael say, “If you make the wrong decision it's never too late to make the right one” (112). That really…
