What color is love? Rora Blue, an artist, has many fascinating pieces of work; but the most famous project may have confirmed what color people imagine love to be. Almost two years ago, Blue started a project called “The Unsent Project”. The artist created an archive for people to submit texts they’d like to send to their first love. In addition to writing what they feel, people pick a color they associate with their first love. The colors people can choose for their texts range from white to…

Introduction The number of adults over the age of 65 in the United States has drastically increased in the last few decades. In 1970, 9.8% of the United States population was 65 and older, in 2010 13%, and by 2030 more than 20% of the United States population is projected to be 65 years of age and older (Ortman, Velkoff, & Hogan, 2014). Consequently, the problems and challenges of aging are an important societal concern. Age-related normal and pathologic cognitive changes have been well…

Obama once said, “Immigration is the heart of how we develop as a nation. In every generation, immigrants have earned their place as part of ‘We the people’”, but many individuals have used this word as an insult towards the Hispanic and Latino population. With that said, as the hashtag, #IamAnImmigrant has been part of the social media for quite a while, it has brought me to analyze the use of the hashtag in social media in a cultural studies lens. After researching and analyzing many posts,…

However, after 50 years of peace, people’s confidence was badly shaken since many things happened like lots of soldiers had died, writers wrote about broken dreams, everyone was disappointed and wondered what had gone wrong. Militarism is when a country started to store weapons and hired more soldiers.…

The discrimination and importance of immigrants has had a great impact on the United States. Quindlen and Kennedy both believe that immigrants are a large part of America. Quindlen is telling that discrimination is pointless and she is directed more towards educated people and people of power. JFK is focusing on how immigrants are a large portion of America and he is speaking to the average person, trying to inspire them. While Quindlen’s tone is more serious and deep when talking about…

Many allegedly native New Yorkers, usually people of Northern European ancestry whose local roots have spanned several generations, have labeled newcomers from elsewhere with a range of mythically positive and negative stereotypes, both privileging and disadvantaging certain…
