“Oppression: disguised freedom” "A girl should be two things: Classy and Fabulous," we have probably all heard this quote attributed to the famous designer Coco Chanel. I have personally heard many of my female friends praise it, but what caught my attention was how even in modern societies, we still come across norms and stereotypes like this surrounding the role that a woman should play in society. The norms, stereotypes and cultural myths surrounding gender roles have changed with time, but…

Students that graduate from college should have experience in the industry already by networking and internships.

The artist I have selected is Pablo Picasso, a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France. The greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, as well as the co-creator of Cubism. “Picasso devoted himself to an artistic production that contributed significantly to—and paralleled the entire development of—modern art in the 20th century.” The personal life Pablo Picasso was in his father’s footsteps…

The history of fashion can be traced back to the beginning of the 19th century but I have chosen to write about the 20th-21st century. There are two basic modern fashion categories Haute Couture and Ready to Wear. The difference between Haute couture and Ready to wear is that Haute Couture is custom made whereas ready to wear clothing is made in big bundles of the same thing. Haute Couture is French for ‘high sewing’ or ‘high dressmaking’ or ‘high fashion’. Haute Couture is exclusive custom…

of the positive influences of hip hop. He claims to be an ex-drug king pin that has started a legitimate career in gangsta rap, a branch of hip hop’s rap that focuses on sex, money, drugs, and the thug life. He says that reason he stopped “flipping coco” is because he has “three kids bro”. Though this is only a singular example of the positive effects of hip hop culture and its music, there have been many other cases of rappers breaking through a hard life slinging crack and cocaine for gangs…

Also how the correlation been globalisation and escaping these constraints is a developing feat. Referring back to above, I would suggest that there would also be an association with trans national corporations such as Coco-Cola or Budweiser for example, which would be some of the brands included gift exchange. Although I believe the trend economy is slowly outdating, it still plays a vital role in the effectiveness of stability of many cultures globally. Cligget concludes…

The Role of Women in Igbo Culture Compared to Modern Western Society In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, the role of women vastly differentiates from Modern Western Society. Okonkwo’s actions, along with the other men in the tribe, show that a woman is not equal to a man. Although we see that women are the weaker sex throughout the book, they are still essential to a man for many reasons. Men in Igbo Culture have many wives and children. To bear many children, a man must have a woman in your…

Caffeine, one of the most commonly used psychoactive drugs, is a central nervous system stimulant that induces the sense of alertness and awareness. Inspired by the previous research on how the caffeine affects the cardiovascular system, we wanted to test the effect of different concentrations of caffeine on the heart. We used ECG stimulator on LabScribe 2 software to monitor the heart rate. We used frogs as a test subject, since both frogs and humans have a closed cardiovascular system,…

Little girls should be sugar spice and everything nice. Best said by Coco Chanel “a girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” As a woman you are taught how to speak, how to act, and how to attract a suitor. You are even encouraged by some to go to college simply to find your husband and get your “M.R.S.” degree. Parents tell their daughters to dream big and aspire for a career, but then encourage their daughter to follow the rules of femininity. Women should be able to have ambition and…
