Through its input of human creativity, ranging from computer programmers to engineers who create intellectual property, and symbolic meaning, Apple has established itself as a dominant company in the creative industries. However, as the world shifts to a knowledge-based economy reliant on…

My major work If… is a short story exploring notions of familial relationships, ultimately enforcing the value of parents and the unchanging love families give. The title If… conveys the emotions of regret as well as the sense of bitterness in life. This mirrors what I want my major to achieve, making the audience reflect on their actions towards their family members and parents in particular as well as allow them to anticipate their future with their children. My audience is middle aged women…

considered myself to be a well informed individual, I was wrong. My sense of Women’s and Gender Studies was that it focused solely on feminism, my only grasp on feminism was ‘equal rights for men and women’.

Looking back, I know that I had good intentions but I didn’t understand how in depth all of these issues connect to each other.…

during the Oil spill were dispersants used to break up the oil or even separating off sections of thick crude oil with booms and setting it ablaze (Alberto Cuadra and Bonnie Berkowitz, 2010).

Casey and Abby eventually say their good nights and head home, Bryna heads up to her old room to go to sleep. I was not ready for bed and was still sipping on some coffee I had made. After tonight, I needed to feel a little bit more of Jack with me so I brewed a small pot, and grabbed Jacks favorite red coffee cup from the shelf. I poured a seconds glass for Flynn and we move our conversation to the front porch. “You don’t have to stay. I’m sure you are tired.” I say taking a seat “No, I’m fine.…

Mead (1978, p. 64), claims that culture is a standard quality that is passed from ancient period of time to new time, however on account of the unique creativity of the Internet several people are not picking up from their generations, but instead from the Internet.

probably not suffice. Wishing I had a photographic memory like my older brother Zev at the moment because my life would be so much easier. "Are you done?" "No". "Now you are." He snatched the Driver’s Manual from my hands. I gasped, after only skimming the first two pages. "I can hardly tell you a thing about driving!" "You have been riding in cars all your life, so yes you can." "No, I can’t, different state, different rules." I folded my arms. "Have some faith." "This isn 't funny…
