Hipster

how society works, even if there was no racism or sexisim or homophobia, we’d find or make something to discriminated against. Because thinking someone is less than makes other people feel better about themselves. Even if it’s just making fun of hipsters, it makes us feel better about…

Over the last decade or so, it’s pretty safe to say that society as a whole, has changed, and at the forefront of that change, is the fact that social media is now such a common part of everyday life. Ten years ago or so, it’s hard to believe that social media and smart technology, were only in their very, very early stages, which meant that children were far less exposed to some of the sheer hatred that is found on virtually all social media outlets. All it takes to start an argument online is…

Prohibition, many rednecks would argue this was one of the most unintelligent moments in American history. The same is true in this age for hipsters and marijuana, and as the saying goes history has a way of repeating itself. Then there were speakeasies and bootleggers, today there is trap houses and drug dealers. Crime spread to all time highs in the 1920s introducing gangsters such as Al Capone. In time America finally wised up, corrected their mistakes and ended Prohibition. America realized…

Cicadas chirping. The sweltering heat and the sweetness of the tangerines. Her hands find their way across the ocean of blankets and rest on my feet. “What are you doing, weirdo?” She only grins and shrugs. “I dunno. Your feet smell nice, ya know?” “Ewww!” I’m giggling and I pull my feet away shyly. Cicadas chirping. Chloe’s dad brought over an electric fan from the attic. The current of air keeps the sweat off of my face. “You want to go downstairs? You do know that it’s colder down there,…

“Miller’s Tale” Character Analysis Throughout The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer uses different ways to diversify his characters such as gender, psychology, formalism, and how they are presented throughout the story, this is most evident in the “Miller’s Tale.” Formalism is a literary criticism that focuses on the literal text rather than the history behind the author or the time the article was published. The first character discussed is John the carpenter, he is arguably the most…

On Saturday, February, 23rd I attend to a unique and spectacular Art District in the city of Miami located north of Downtown and Overtown. Wynwood Arts District is one of the most colossal “open-air street art installations in the world.” It divides between two sub-districts, the Wynwood Art District in northern Wynwood, and the Wynwood Fashion District. This was a district of warehouses and factories. All the warehouses, factories and unused buildings were transformed in several galleries, art…

I chose to go to Westfield for my field ship. I looked at five different stores and finally I chose three stores to talk about. They are Hollister, Urban Outfitters and Apple Store. I will be looking at them through different theories. I used sensory ethnography and visual method to understand and evaluate those store. Sensory ethnography is a re thinking of ethnography methods and process with attention to sensory perception and experience. It is suitable for social research and interventions…

assimilation such as "business suits are a necessary uniform to gain access into the white collar workforce," therefore, in turn, what this also produces is the idea that the "native dress" of someone else 's culture is devalued and "uncivilized." Hipsters wearing headresses is cultural appropriation because it is a commodification of indigenous culture. It reiterates the very techniques of colonialism by objectifying someone else 's culture and turning that culture into something available for…

Analysis of the Mac Vs. PC Ad Campaign As computers were first gaining popularity, companies tried to hook customers by using unique marketing tactics. Soon, years went by and technologies continued to progress to a point at which companies spent millions on actively trying to promote their products. In 2006, the company, Apple, established an ad campaign titled Mac vs. PC which quickly grew more admirable by strategically using rhetorical fallacies and genuine story lines. Fans then began…

The market for avocados has grown exponentially in the past few years, thanks to the mounting trend created by hipsters and health mongers across the nation by popularizing them through social media. Avocados are some of the most versatile fruits consumers have access to, as they can be eaten plain, in salads or sandwiches, or mixed into sauces, dips, and dressing.
