How do you become a musician? I studied music when I was little, at the conservatory. Solfeggio, music theory, harmony, singing, and piano. I'm not a musician. The education I received was quite deficient, my extreme vagrancy did not support the cause too much. In spite of that, I reached the sixth year of piano, only two years after finishing my degree, and also with quite good grades. I never considered myself a musician, much less now that I almost...

Now, being a college-level student at Harold Washington College, education plays a big part in shaping my character through what I am learning in class and outside the courses. School...

[ One of the greatest debates of our time is the topic of college education: specifically, who should go to college and how important it is to attend. O’Halloran (2018) states, “Given the crises that public higher education is currently facing, we are in desperate need of creative solutions” (p. 33). Some contend that too many people are going to college, while others believe not enough are going to college. Nemko (n.d.) reports that “According to the U.S. Department of...

Violence is not a cure for any problems, instead, it is the disease of that problem that spreads and destroys you rather than heals you. Throughout the tragedy of Faye's revenge, it is a recurring theme, amongst all the characters. Whether the revenge is in a physical form or mental form, it is equally hurtful. Mahatma Gandhi said, “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.” Gandhi is asserting that if one person commits a revengeful act, it...

Oral presentation: According to my understanding, the most crucial part of any kind of oral presentation is analyzing your audience and adjusting your tone accordingly. Though a few peers argue that the crucial part is about the purpose of the presentation and to include explicit research and findings to prove the idea effectively, unless I connect to the audience, I can’t make an impact on them. By conducting an audience analysis, you can gather segment information on your crowd and...

Male dominance over females is one of the earliest known and most prevalent forms of inequality in human history. Due to its everydayness, male dominance seems natural. But one question never goes away. Might innate biological mechanisms be a hindrance to women attaining equal power with men?
