... kid usually is looking for a group to fit in. They don’t particularly like the activities that the ‘athletic’ kids take part of (namely drinking heavily after games and beating each other to a pulp). These kids are looking for more out of life. Many are artists - musicians, poets, or actors. What artist doesn’t stray a bit from the norm? Is there anything wrong with that? I don’t think so. The “gothic” people that I have met are not violent. In fact, violence is one of the reasons that these kids have chosen to exclude themselves from the other activities. Most of these kids are peaceful and are op ...

... people. Finally, we saw all that come to an end. When Jeff Wigand decided it was time to tell the truth, he put everything he valued at risk. He stood to loose his family, any chance at a job, and quite possibly his life. He knew all these things and still he went on, because he thought he could make a difference. He knew that his testimony would never be heard in a court of law, so where could he turn. The answer: the fourth and fifth estates, or the press and television. Every night millions of Americans sit down and watch the nightly news or read the paper. We know that we will be told all the days news, that we will be educated about what is happening in ...

... Probably the first ice players were North American Indians who used field tools that were curved at the lower end. The French word for the similarly shaped shepherd's crook, hoquet, was attached by French explorers who watched the Indians' ball-and-stick games. Although the original game called for nine men on each side, the number of team players involved could vary from one community to another. Soon a committee met in Montreal to establish regulations for seven-man teams. The positions agreed upon were goalkeeper, two defensemen, three forwards, and a rover who alternated between offense and defense. The National Association, formed in 1909, eliminated ...

... is a lonely one. Her superior, Dr. David Drumlin, tells her the SETI field is professional suicide, however her obsession runs deep.

... all sitting around socializing, drinking beer, laughing and smiling, all with a whole-hearted carefree attitude, all while wearing IZOD clothing. In fact, they aren’t just socializing, but are also playing strip poker. This is where the sex appeal comes in; “Hey, wear IZOD clothing and you’ll be in this situation too—half naked women, beer, and more fun than you can handle.” Yeah right. Reality check! Although consciously we know this to be untrue, this concept is what the ad inscribes into the reader’s brain, and is what the reader walks away with - a pretty sleazy deceit. IZOD’s ad also promotes not only immoral acts, but a theme that is damaging to societ ...

... the scared (Durkheim). Since the idea of entering the sacred world was such a special occasion, proper rituals were enacted. The Native Americans focused extensively on rituals in joining a specific culture or tribe, involving the whole community and bringing everyone together throughout the area. These bonding rituals reiterated Durkheim's belief that everyone belonged to a specific social structure rather than being an individual. Thus, after the Native Americans performed the ritual, one became a new person on a higher level. A perfect example in Native American tradition is the act of worshipping a girl, contained within a circle and bringing healing powers ...

... Dali like surrealism with landscape realism. Each picture is a complete landscape in of itself. This technique “superimposes and juxtaposes realistic and figurative” details within images he creates. Only upon closer scrutiny do you actually realize that each facet of the work is something else. In Metamorphic art flowers become faces. Mourners over coffins become the face of Christ, a bicycle becomes a pair of celebrity glasses. His works are full of symbolism. Each is endlessly fascinating, revealing something different to each new viewer. And each new viewer looks a second time, and a third. The longer a person stares at a painting, the more one sees. Faces ...
