I am sure that I would have been mad if an Anglo-saxon girl would have talked bad about a hispanic guy or girl. Another time hispanics thought I was Anglo-saxon, was when my best friend's dad got me a job at his company.

... the notion of the aesthetic experience and how this is not only relevant but important to the contemporary art world. In this essay, I will explore Shusterman's ideas concerning these concepts, and discern his validity and his theory's ability for implementation into the current art world. Shusterman makes a point of noting that the aesthetic experience from Dewey to Danto has made an obvious decline. He notes, "While Dewey celebrated aesthetic experience, making it the very center of his philosophy of art, Danto virtually shuns the concept."

The mere search for necessities such as water, food, and shelter can become the soul purpose in life, leaving no time for progress or betterment. In A Hot Country, Naipaul chooses a story of a struggling salesman to prove this point. Aubrey St.-Pierre, is dedicated to "the betterment of society" through the educational books that he sells at the Aurora, his bookstore. He claims to only sell works which "provoke thought and kindness", but in reality there is no one to buy his books. No one has time for bet ...
