From the beginning of the film era, ethnic minorities have been underrepresented, especially in Hollywood. Unlike white Caucasian actors, the number of roles which are available for ethnic…

It can help you to get a better job with a higher salary. Statistics by the Economic Policy Institute in Washington said, “Americans with four-year college degrees made 98 percent more an hour on average in 2013 than people without a degree. That’s up from 89 percent five years earlier, 85 percent a decade earlier and 64 percent in the early 1980s”(Is College Worth It? 1). This statistic shows that people with a degree make significantly…

If you’re not familiar with Hot Chip, let me introduce you: Hot Chip is a synth-driven, pop-fantastic, disco fancy, funk-rock, dancey, sentimental, sassy, experimental anomaly from London. They make original music that doesn’t always make musical sense—by that I don’t mean it’s hard to digest because most of it is enjoyable to listen to. However, they offer melodies, sounds and chord progressions that keep the listener interested and often thinking, “I didn’t expect that.” Their sound is their…

too smart is a sign of a “know it all” or a “lame.” Nobody likes to be surrounded by someone who corrects them about every little thing or always thinks their right. At the same time, it's wrong for students to categorize intelligent students into a group that they don’t wish to be in just because they are smarter than the…

classical music from composers such as Beethoven or Mozart will raise your IQ. Recent studies have shown that listening to music while you study will help in retaining the knowledge even though actually performing the music is the best way to retain it. E. Glenn Schellenberg, a professor in psychology at the University of Toronto, was skeptical about the claims that music can make you smarter, so in 2004 he devised a study to assess its impact on IQ scores (Lipman).

detail on screen will force viewers to face reality in a different way than what a text might do. The first scene on the Edmund Pettus Bridge is in my opinion on of the most emotionally taxing scenes to watch.

This accurately portrays the pointless hate and violence perpetrated by the white populace and police of the South in the 60s, and that sadly still takes place…

pianist’s ebony hands and the sleek beatiful ivory keys. Also, this comparison indirectly links to the long history of African-American spirituals, christian songs created during days of slavery. Hughes’s use of spirituals “was [the] first of many musical elements in [his] free verse,” (Dace) and is the base of many of his poems.
