Deborah Brandt says sponsors “are any agents, local or distant, concrete or abstract, who enable, support, teach, model, as well as recruit, regulate, suppress, or withhold literacy—and gain advantage by it in some way” (166). Bob Gibson didn’t become a full-time teacher until he was in his mid-40s, and his experiences on that career path highlight both the benefits and the hindrances a sponsor can provide.

Is Ghostbusters (2016) a racist, sexist movie? While researching the topic of social responsibilities of popular culture creators, I found the ongoing backlash against the rebooted movie Ghostbusters (2016) a vivid example.

After spending a year roaming Europe Gropius went to work for Peter Behrens at his architecture firm. Here he met Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Two years later he and Adolf Meyer opened their own architecture firm in Berlin. One of the firms greatest contributions still stands today; a…

Defining Feminism The authors have a differing approach toward the definition of feminism. In “You’re a Hardcore Feminist. I swear.” by Jillian Valenti, Valenti defines feminism by extracting an actual dictionary definition. Valenti’s feminism is the “Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sex”, followed by “the movement organized around this belief”, in other words, the movement toward the social and economic equality of men and women.

of multi-culturalism; and how it exponentially grew to be a “trending topic” (particularly as it pertains to these United States of America) however, this was not the case. Although I didn 't learn about migration patterns specifically, the class reinforced my knowledge on globalization and the influence it has had on the spread of different cultures and races not only in the United States but internationally. Being from the UK, a small island where things are often imported; and land where…
