Before this class, I believed that the 'real world' meant the real experiences that people of color face in the United States. I think the 'real world' that I see is that many Americans are fighting for freedom, racism is still going on, and inequality between genders.

The statistics on social media usage (Hou, et al, 2019) indicate that nearly every single teenager and young adult has at least one social media account. These individuals get exposed to a greater amount of various information sources than previous generations ever experienced. The most obvious threat in social media communication is criminal...

What are the Odds? What happens when coincidences occur that seem too incredible to be true? Coincidences are defined as, “a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.” These coincidences are considered to be random and meaningless events that happen in our lives; they don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Paulo Coelho, however, shows in The Alchemist that some of the coincidences that occur during a shepherd’s quest to find “treasure” are connected not only...

Violence changes your social power in society. Once Coretta Scott King said that ‘Revenge and retaliation always perpetuate the cycle of anger, fear, and violence.’ It wrecks and shortens lives, causes suffering and pain, and it’s often part of rapid social change. Some people use violence for revenge, and some (as a way to release their pain) achieve what they want. I chose the movie Joker to answer my essay question because this movie and how director Todd Philips represented...

Baudrillard grapples with this in his theoretical writings. It is in this world that “images, signs, and codes engulf objective reality; signs become more real than reality and stand in for the world they erase” (Wilcox, 346- 47). This pseudo-world of simulacra and the perceived loss of the real in DeLillo’s novels obstruct his characters’ search for themselves. DeLillo’s communication is a kind of haphazard game, and language is the playing field on which opposing forces clash--harmony and chaos, rules...

What comes to mind when you hear the word 'religion'? I think of a contract with rules and regulations that stipulate the following of these to receive a reward. For many, the rewards are enticing as it gives them hope as to what lies ahead.
