Hippie

Shwickerath Autistic V. Artistic Now I know the title seems offensive, but full disclosure, I did ask the permission of both parties prior to the title and they both agree that they have higher than average Aspie scores.(One of the top Asperger’s test that helps define whether or not a person has said disease or not.) So basically I have two very near and dear friends of mine who are so stupidly similar it is terrifying. For the sake of anonymity, I am only going to use their first names.…

Who is Charles Manson? You may have heard his name on your favorite night time crime drama series or pop up on the news recently due to rumors of him getting a marriage license to a 26 year old female prison visitor. But who exactly is he and why is he regarded such an infamous serial killer? You may be wondering why I chose to speak about a serial killer today. Well, I am very interested in criminology and choose to spend my free time researching and studying the infamous serial killers, cult…

Bullying is an issue that transcends ages, ethnicities, and cultures, and school seems to be the one place where bullying is the most evident. I do not think school are the cause for bullying, but when bullying is ignored nothing good is proceeds. Bullying is an act that is recognized as bad, but it is not always stopped. Over the last couple of years bullying has become a matter that numerous people have been working against. Organizations have created programs to explain the dangers of…

quick profit; all the while, their actions and thoughts are anything but sustainable. The general population is still trying to figure out this word, sustainability. Does it mean ‘eco-friendly’? Does it mean ‘more expensive’? What is this expensive, ‘hippie ideology’ and what does it have to do with development? The term ‘sustainable development’ was coined a couple decades ago famously by the Brundtland Commission. They defined sustainable development by marrying together the three areas of…

Stanley Kramer’s Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) and Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007) are set in starkly contrasting contexts but, through similar values explored in both, we can see how concerns of the human condition are universal. Both texts explore the racial prejudice, negative stereotyping and reluctance to move forward as fundamental elements of the human condition. Stanley Kramer’s Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) criticises the racial prejudice and…

History of Cosmetology “ I Am a Woman who came from cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the wash tub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I was promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair and goods preparations…… I have built my own factory on my own ground.” This quote is from, Madam CJ Walker.This demonstrates she started from the bottom and made it up to the top where no one thought she could be. Cosmetology is the professional skin…

Throughout American history, there have been people who commit mass atrocities that can only be described as serial killings. Most people believe that serial killers are these awkward or dissociative people who stand out. In reality, these people actually tend to blend in with society and have no tells that they have a monster lurking inside (A Serial Killer, 2017). Most of the serial killers that are known have had families, are involved in their communities, military veterans, and well-liked…

Was Walt Whitman the first hippie? His radical ideas make him worthy of this title. Whitman rejected many of the popular ideas of his day and created on his own style, which is know as free verse writing. Whitman wrote during the transcendentalism period, transcendentalism means that there is an underlying connection between all things, such as humans, and nature. Not only did he form his own style, he also formed ideas, about, the lessons that can be taught through nature, the value of the…

This man is essentially appropriating Indian culture, through redface, which continues to be a prevalent issue even today, such as during the 70s when hippie style copied many Native American garb. Once again, it is a white man in a Native American film, who the film, including its characters and plot, is centered around, while the Native actors are merely present to support this character. This ultimately…

Talent from the 1960’s vs. Today’s I’ve always wondered what happened to the music industry? What happened to the simpler music about love and peace? Now a-days there’s hardly ever any meaning to lyrics. All we here about are breakups, parties, the luxurious life that these artists are living, or artists hating on other people. We have artists that always take it that extra step when it comes to tuning their voices on their tracks that it makes them sound like robots, or take it that extra step…
