Many forms of society is to blame, such as the media, music, and films. Racism has been addressed many times throughout the decades, but it is still a lingering issue within the society between Whites and Blacks. Racism dates back to the 17th century. In 1619 slaves were brought from Africa and forced to do manual labor in dehumanizing…

Our work in the community would not be complete without the hours of volunteering our students put in. One example of this is the volunteering we have done for the Christmas Clearing Council. There, our students worked together to pick out toys, books, and warm clothes for children in struggling families during the holiday season. Our students had a lot of fun while realizing the impact they had on their community. As Abby put it, “I think it is really important to give back to the community…

Everyday Americans are always on route to work, school, or play. Cars are constantly passing each other every day, but nobody really knows what happens inside of the vehicle. Distracted Driving is an issue that affects and changes many people’s lives daily. From the victim to the suspect of the accident, both sides are impacted greatly. Some of the problems do not even come from the distracted drivers themselves. Cell phone companies and automakers are coming up with the most up to date…

Peter felt suddenly brave and adventurous. Susan felt as if some delicious smell or some delightful strain of music had just floated by her. And Lucy got the feeling you have when you wake up in the morning and realize that it is the beginning of the holidays or the beginning of Summer” (Lewis, ##). Even the mention of Aslan makes the children feel safe and comforted. Aslan is a protector figure; reflecting Jesus’s image as a powerful, strong king who protects His people like a shepherd protects…

became; and continues to be popular and most beloved of all his Oratorios. It burst onto the stage of Musick Hall in Dublin on April 13, 1742. Now, of course, Messiah is a fixture of the Christmas season. Woe to the concert hall in the United States or Britain that fails to schedule the piece around the holiday, when, as well, CD sales and Web downloads of the oratorio soar. For many amateur choirs, the work is the heart of their repertoire and the high point of the year. In most of Handel's…

The most popular type of music in the U.S is band music. A most famous ballet in a Christmas story was the Nutcracker. Tchaikovsky was a 19th century Russian composer that stood above his ballet. Wagner wrote a motive called leitmotifs, motives that represent characters and they change as things happen to the character. Bill Holiday sang blues and he made music on the spot.

into a live play because this famous play had an extraordinary production. I would like to work with professional people who want to work together on stage. The play will be presented in the Imperial Valley at Southwest high school during the holiday season. To me, the audience can relate the topic of the second scene when Mrs. Linde comes into action in the play.

help. The tradition was that my mom would slave for hours, sleep for minutes, and serve everyone at dinner time; I definitely inherited that from her. Christmas was smaller, the siblings would come by to collect gifts and grab something to eat but there was still a tremendous sense of family, those were the best times of the year. During Christmas I would be allowed to stay up all night watching my mom bake cookies of every kind, coconut, sugar, lemon, chocolate chip, oatmeal, cut out cookies,…

during tax season to do tax returns for low income individuals. It is a service learning requirement for the university and it gives us experience doing taxes for the future. My former boss participated with the United Way by doing her civil duty to help those that are less fortunate.
