My name is Ashley Dupin and I chose to do my presentation on my all time favorite musician, David Bowie. He was a man of incredible talents and was born January 8th 1947. He is a singer specifically in the genres of art rock, glam rock, pop, electronic, and experimental. He is a song writer of roughly 270 songs, and an actor from the well-known movie Labyrinth. One of my all time favorite childhood movies. David Bowie’s real name is David Robert Jones, he was born in London, England. He first…

Where do women stand in society? Women’s inequality in society is a sensitive topic that has existed for many years. Women have suffered to have their voices heard and have fought to reach a sense of equality in the world. Women of the 60’s were expected to follow one path: marriage, childbirth and devoting their lives to the home. In the 1960’s a controversial artist named Allen Jones, stirred up the discussion of women being portrayed sexually. Some feminists were left in confusion and anger…

“Houston, we have lift off” For thousands of years people have wondered what is beyond our planet in the night sky. Is it just stars? Are there planets outside of our home, Earth? The answer is yes not only are there planets, but moons, stars, galaxies and other solar systems. Thanks to great astronomers such as Galileo, Copernicus , Johannes Kepler, Edwin Hubble and many other great minds we have made these ground-breaking discoveries. Not until the latter half of the 20th century did we…

The brain has the ability to reprogram itself on the fly, altering the way it functions" (Carr 60). While reading Nicholas Carr 's article "Is Google Making Us Stupid? What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains", one may feel they have taken a seat on the most intellectual and fascinating roller coaster. In the 2008 article published in the Atlantic, Carr effectively explains not only what an obsessive amount of surfing the web is progressively doing to our lives but in our lives. He does an…

2001: a space odyssey is a science-fiction novel published in 1968, written by Arthur C. Clarke and a science-fiction film released in (the same year as the novel) 1968, and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The following are all the differences I noticed while watching the film; No narration: I feel there should have been at least some narration in the beginning, so people can better grasp what is happening (i watched this film with my mother, who hasn't read the book, and i had to explain some…

project, I chose to pursue the visual medium of film posters. Inspired by my font, Curved’s design — which has a certain space-age, 1960s feel to it — I looked at creating film posters for, initially a 1969 “Doctor Who” story The Seeds of Death then, Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). The latter, being a seminal piece of cinematic history, comes with a ready made arsenal of iconic moments and imagery to draw upon. In the creation of the series of posters, I was inspired by the work…

As our government was the first to put a man on the moon and return him to earth many do believe the conspiracy that the moon landing was fake and that the government since has been trying to disprove that conspiracy but there are many reasons to believe that; because it says at first America wanted to be the first to put a man in space but they got beat by the Russians, and since then, since they wanted to the greatest space achievement, their new mission was to put a man on the moon and so,…

We all know the phrase, “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Neil Armstrong said this as he took the first steps on the moon. This moment was an immense one for humans. We had finally reached the moon, something scientists had always dreamed of. Although, what if it was fake? What if everything we learned about this great moment was not the truth? The moon landing conspiracy theory is one that is greatly followed and believed by many. It states that the moon landing was, in fact…
