The magic of anonymous synchronicity in-group efforts - the tension of the unknown, the chance of accidental innovation, the empowerment of the vulnerable and the confidence building for the tentative - moved me beyond words. One began to seek out collaborative co-creations and group…
“If we enter this world knowing you are loved and we leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with” (Michael Jackson). Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958. He started his music career when his father failed to become a musician and did everything in his power to make his sons a success. Jackson made history for music and dances, he also made a huge impact on future generations and earned the name King of Pop. Michael Jackson…
A combination of instruments become one and create a melody so unique, even those who’ve dedicated their whole lives to the art of music cannot decipher its quality. The tones of each note, all dynamically coloured and bright move in inhuman synchronicity. This is not all. A hinted ostinato consisting of syncopated and staccato chords bask in the glory of itself. The indefinite metre of untuned percussion as well as all these various elements combined produce unpredictable components to make up…
After 14 years in Jewish day school, I am poised to leave this sanctuary and venture out into a wide world. Next year will be the first time I will attend a secular school. On the eve of this departure, then, I ask myself, who am I? What kind of Jew am I right now, at this point in time? Where do I see myself in five years? Truthfully, there is an ongoing conflict in my mind between my secular self and my spiritual Judaic self. It is not that I feel I must prioritize one over the other;…
A weekend spent in a cabin in the woods of a Southern Chilean town with people I barley know, a lot of rain, and an abundance of beauty absorbed. This was quite the experience for myself. Learning about new cultures and worldviews, facing many fears, pushing my physical and mental limits, and doing my best to understand perspectives I do not necessarily agree with. It was my first official trip outside of the Valparaíso region and I was truly flowing with the moments as they came. No set plans…

Matilda and the serpent, an infamous symbol for Satan. As Matilda requests Ambrosio to pluck a flower for her, the serpent bites him, and Matilda is able to gain the devotion and love of Ambrosio through her act of heroism that is in fact a ploy of synchronicity to bring about his infatuation. This characterisation of Matilda suggests that she possesses darker traits than the tragic Faustus, as she is called a ‘subordinate but crafty spirit’ who is aware of the horrific fate that awaits Ambrosio…
intent. Very rarely, if ever, do users go on to the Internet looking outside his/her comfort ‘zones’. Offline discourse, although, ‘lags’ behind online social mediums which intercede offline identities with online personalities. In theory, the synchronicity of offline social formations, (civil liberties, freedom of speech) chronologers of social conduct and historical rule, are quantified and then decompound through the various forms of online interaction: an offline belief is reduced to its…
People feel what others feel because we physically react following their reactions (Parkinson & Simons, 2009). People do not live on emotional islands (Barsade, 2002). We can even catch someone's bad day bug or have a better mood after seeing someone smile (Crow, 2015). Moreover, we are "walking mood inductors" that are continuously influencing the moods and the judgments and behaviors of others (Barsade, 2002). These mood transfers can be intentional through the mechanism of empathy, where an…
In the world today we have too much confusion between both genders about what we want and who we are. The question everyone ask are both genders equal and are our life goals the same. Are we different because from birth we are raised differently; as a boy you walk a thin line between comfort and discipline, but as a girl you line gets extended as long as you cry after whatever you did. This way of teaching never stops even as we become adults; with this way the question is are we different, the…
