My initial impression of the image is that it is a picture of a race riot copied four times and colored to look like the American flag. By changing the color of the picture Warhol might be commenting on the subject matter of the race riot by saying that it doesn’t matter that the people are black or white everyone deserves to be treated the same. Maybe Warhol feels that this picture is the best representation of America at that point in time. It is most important for Warhol to imbue this image…

hands to answer questions while others did not. Those raising their hand showed they had some background knowledge on Tecumseh. The same students raised their hand time and time again. There were students who were sitting quietly watching the Brain Pop Video while a few other students seem to not be paying attention. One boy was looking around to see what his friends was doing. From the video I noticed that many of the students’ attention spans were lost half way through. You could hear papers…

Ever since we began thinking about potential History Day topics, we have been intrigued by the Beatles and their influence on pop music. Music has always been a large part of our lives, and that interest in music influenced our decision to pick this topic. We were very interested by the idea that one band could change the music industry so tremendously. We picked this topic because The Beatles changed how music is today. We started our research immediately, and we were able to find a…

Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Drake, Eminem. When people hear “pop,” they immediately think of these celebrities; not completely wrong, but the concept of pop culture has more profound meaning. Pop culture defines and reflects the contemporary society and people’s values, ideals, or even fears—fears that they might lose the race. Recent global economy has driven many employers out of jobs because of the competitiveness—and more people are in verge of losing jobs. Not only the adults feel the…

the new school year. One recommendation that I would suggest to the administrators in school is to create a schedule of days where the students can take pop quizzes based on the material learned and material that will come after that day, and make those quizzes cumulative. On page 88, Carey (2014) describes the Spitzer’s experiment “the largest pop quiz experiment in history.” The conclusion of Spitzer suggest that when students take a quiz or test immediately, they learn and retain the…

autism, just like there is no one cause. Experts are still unsure about all the causes of autism, but it appears to be a combination of multiple circumstances. These circumstances include environmental, biological and genetic factors. In past decades, pop culture has created the belief of the possible link between autism and vaccinations, although this is not the case, why does this myth still persist in our culture? Three major myths were proposed in this case. Many believed the combination…

The whole stadium is dark except for one spotlight and there he is “ The King of Pop”. Michael Jackson was known for his great singing career, especially starting at such a young age with his family. He was a part of his family Motown group called, Jackson 5 before becoming a very successful solo artist. When people think of…

Religion is prevalent in many aspects of Japanese culture, even in pop culture. Specifically, religious themes and aesthetics are common in manga, Japanese graphic novels and comic books, or anime, which are animated movies and television shows commonly based on manga. Religion can be weaved into these mediums in various ways to create different effects. For example, religion can be used solely for cosmetic effect, or the story itself could be centered around religion as a plot device. Depending…

Where would you like me to start Brittany Sandra Pollock? Yes, I am going to use your full name in this. You may ask why? I have always loved something about a full name and it 's a little hard to explain. I guess I will start with me leaving Omaha for California this summer. But I will really go back even further after I explain something. When you and I were driving to the airport that day, I could tell that you were ready to explode in tears, but honestly, I was on the verge too and I don…
