    Astronomy

    • 4 Pages

    Astronomy is a very interesting career. It is the branch of science that deals with outer space objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole. They use data on movements, compositions, and other properties of space objects and phenomena. I chose this career because astronomers make a good bit of money, and also because I enjoy reading and learning about outer space. They increase our understanding of the universe, and our place in it. There are a number of skills needed for an…

    Bricks: The Influence of Space on Identity ‘In Hebrew culture throughout the ages, the Land of Israel has been perceived and depicted as the center, the homeland of the Jewish nation, and the role of the land in the Zionist narrative has been pivotal.13’ (Weiss 2015: 61).

Through this book, we can understand the space that surrounds us in the present and how it is influenced by globalisation, urbanisation and capitalism. Marc Auge's writing drifts from one point to another therefore…

    Spaces For Mosque

    • 2 Pages

    Reading Response #2 In “Making Spaces for Mosques,” Sharene Razack explores the struggles Muslim groups face in creating their own space in urban cities like Toronto and how issues of citizenship, racialization and identity intersect with that struggle. Razack uses the then East York Council’s objection to building a mosque in a vacant factory building to emphasize the “complicated politics of the production of urban space” (Razack, 189). The municipality justified their racist decision by…

    Whether it is through a dirty car window, where I can barely tell the difference between muted stars and specks of dust or it is far away from civilization when the stars shine their brightest, I am left speechless. Space is terrifying and beautiful and mysterious and unknowable all at once. It is the one thing I yearn to understand but am delighted to know that I never will. When I look up at the stars, I feel so unspeakably small. I am reminded, time and time again…

    Have you ever heard of a tap tap? Three summers ago, I discovered a tap tap not just a nickname for banging a pencil on a deck, but a kind of taxi in Haiti. They are called tap taps because the passengers will signal the driver to stop or go by simply tapping on the back of the truck. I learned this fact on a mission trip to Haiti three summers ago. The trip was a very eye opening experience where I learned that I have many things to be thankful for. This past summer, I decided to go on another…

    Postmodernism In Manzanar

    • 369 Words
    • 2 Pages

    By way of contrast, in postmodernism a lot of aspects of life are shown as constructs of society. Manzanar for example, relied on highways and heavy traffic from the inner city to help him “conduct” the congested streets of Los Angeles (53). The novel also included a map of the city, which also created a feeling of uncertainty since the maps were destined to change; unexpected, sudden changes that often times lead you to a dead-end-road. What is more important, is that the maps also had “layers”…
