Exposure to Reality As Jennifer Elisabeth said in her book Born Ready, “I feel a resurgence of my 6-year-old self…that little warrior, goddess of a girl reminding me of who I was when I was little, before the world got its hands on me.”In other words, society has corrupted our way of living in our culture. Our own personal culture that we are familiar with and a part of can shape how we view ourselves very deeply. It gives us a defining sense of self and can dictate what our values become.…

Botanical Garden Observations On this Wednesday evening at 1800 on October 05, 2016 I am at one of the most prestigious popular hotels on the Las Vegas, NV strip. I am at the botanical garden where a new world is created with flowers and other natural resources to create wonderment for the current season; each season is changed and every year is different. While inside the botanical gardens I first want to soak up my environment with my eyes closed; I can heighten my senses to the various…

Introduction: IPL, Intense Pulsed Light, is a relatively new medical technology that awards itself of being a source of bright pulsed energy that, is neither one-color nor clear, but rather has got a wide-ranging wavelength spectrum. IPL can be adjusted to different wavelengths to fit all the tones of colors, making it ideal to use on a wide array of different skin tones. These colors are modified by crystal filters that function as trimmers and allow the selection of precise wavelengths for…

1. Prejudice- I learned that prejudice is something that we humans do in order to categorize our world around us. We have to learn how to curb it though because it can easily turn into something that seriously affects our world, even simple little thoughts like “choosy moms chose Jif!” Prejudice doesn’t necessarily mean negative attitude. 2. Stereotyping- This is a oversimplified belief about someone/something. Stereotyping seems to overlap with prejudice but both have their different meanings.…

The skin is the largest vital organ in the human body and it goes through a lot during our lifetime. Whether it be laying in the sand enjoying the warmth of the sun on our skin or getting a tan at the nearest tanning booth, we are actually damaging our skin. Whenever skin is exposed to the sun or any other type of UV radiation, there is an increased risk of developing skin cancer. Skin cancer is the abnormal growth of skin cells, and is surprisingly very common in the world today. According to…

It currently is the 21st century, yet the idea of interracial relationships still strikes us as surprising. Sure, we have moved great lengths in technology to transform an apple into a refined, inedible device that has an intellect greater than the most of us. However, interracial couples receive far too many forced smiles and nods of approval when seen, as if such public consent is keeping that couple’s love alive. Furthermore, the public represents white society’s imposed views about…

function between the limits of what the patriarchy allows. Fortunately, you are beautiful and smart and kind, you exude grace and elegance so easily, it looks inherent. Your witty banter charms the most reluctant of people and your... shoot. Is that melanin? You happen to black. Well, that drastically slims down your opportunities as well. Dear baby, you have been born into a society, nay, a world, that is so ignorant, it can only fully and wholly accept a select group of people.…

In this essay, I argue why Beauvoir’s introduction to the novel The Second Sex and Baldwin’s letter, “My Dungeon Shook,” start in a similar vein. Beauvoir and Baldwin both experience antagonism within themselves, in dealing with the study of women (Beauvoir) and the study of black men (Baldwin) because ‘woman’ and ‘black man’ are conceptualisms that have been authored by white men, in relation to white men, interpellated upon women and black men by white men for ages. These similar introductions…
