Transitioning

I prefer the risk of failure to mediocrity. The Zulu Tribe had such an important impact on Hip-Hop. They didn´t care what others thought, they just wanted to take something that was negative and turn it into something positive. Now that we're in the twenty first century artist aren´t taking as many risk. They are more worried about failure, and their image being destroyed than the music itself. The variety in Hip hop has decreased drastically throughout the years. In 1978 a group of misfits…

My second short story of the collection dives into a description of beach storm. Titled, “Untouched land”, it opens with the “Wind howling as the sand bombarded my face.” This immediate picture places the reader on the edge, as the future storm looms. This story recounts a storm my family and I experienced which vacationing at the beach. Through the strong, bold start of this piece I took some risk as a writer. I opened with the first paragraph feeling the storms presence and the power…

hold different perceptions and biases towards individuals or groups. These preconceived notions offer opinions that are not supported by evidence other than assumption. During high school, teens are in a stage of their lives where there are transitioning to adult hood and are trying to find their own identity. By doing so, these adolescents begin associate with other individuals who are alike and go on and create a clique. Anybody who has ever attended grade school is aware that social…

This movement stage, likewise referred to as "transitioning" or "moving," is checked by the usage of the change. This is the point at which the change turns out to be genuine. It's additionally, hence, the time that the vast majority battle with the new reality. It is a period stamped with vulnerability…

Parole getting out and staying out This documentary gave an insight on the life of inmates in prison. How, many offenders go in and out of prison sometimes because they get “institutionalized.” The film follows the life inside the prison, transitioning out of prison, and how parole works once they make their way out of prison and back into society. (Parole: Getting Out and Stayng Out) This brought to light what it’s like for an offender to go into prison and the critical things that must…

Lynas’ text argues for intentional geoengineering of the climate, which is defined as the premeditated large-scale interference in global natural systems to counter anthropogenic climate change (Oxford Geoengineering Programme, 2017). Through analysis of the text, two separate arguments can be isolated. One line of argument uses evidence of our own “unintelligent” impact on the environment as justification for intelligent geoengineering. The more specific example is his use of evidence that…

Whaling at the top of his lungs as he runs as fast as a two year olds little legs can go. He reaches the door his mother just walked out of shutting the child safety gate behind her. The child falls to his knees on the other side of the gate as his mom leaves the building. How can a mother abandon her child like that? I see this quite often throughout my time working at a local daycare. But the amazing thing is it changes throughout the time. The same boy Oakley, a month into his day care…

example, male Jews at the age of thirteen have their Bar Mitzah and become adults in the eyes of Jewish Law. In other tribal cultures, boys may be expected to be able to endure a level of pain before they will be considered men. During the 1940s, transitioning from a boy to a man may have involved actually serving in World War II. However, in modern day America, there is no set path to becoming an adult - each individual finds his or her own path to maturity, although, this typically occurs…

When legislative demands call for equal opportunity, but are met with disparities regarding employment there must be changes. Unemployment among school age youths transitioning out of school into the workforce is one of the disparities that still persist today. Lack of resources results in poor outcomes for students planning to go on to college, or planning to enter the workforce after high school (Rice, 2010). According to a journal article by Brenda Cavenaugh and J Martin Giesen students…

Studying in Perugia will stimulate my college experience in many ways that residing at Hollins cannot. While abroad, I will learn a new language and practice it with native Italian speakers. This will promote both my linguistic and cultural skills. While I could learn a language in a classroom setting, being able to speak fluently in a public setting will solidify the language and allow me to communicate effectively; I can’t just translate small passages on paper. This experience will also…
