In 1995, the Latino and American music industry lost an icon to what has become known as one of the most tragic deaths in the music industry. Selena Perez-Quintanilla, only 23 years old at the time of her murder, was known as the "Queen of Tejano.” Despite her short lifespan, Selena achieved what few people had ever achieved before her – that is a successful crossover. It should be made clear from the start that the term ‘crossover’ does not refer to her entrance into the mainstream American music industry but rather her entrance and success into the Latino music industry. Too often this side of Selena’s success story is ignored and the focus is instead placed on her ‘crossover’ into the American market. Such was the case in the film Selena

The writer, Maribel Garcia Ochoa, begins her piece with making the claim that because of Donald Trump being elected, California shaped this “defensive” attitude. Then Ochoa supported her claim with the evidence of the immigration policy issue. In addition, she believes that, “SB 54 would prevent the use of state and local resources to assist federal deportation efforts.” In fact, SB 54 has been recently amended in Senate on March 6, 2017. Another claim that Ochoa made was that California’s immigration policy was not completely for Asians it was also towards Mexicans. Ochoa used statistics, “Early into the ’30s, over 15 million Americans, about one quarter of all wage earners, were unemployed,” to show that once Mexicans entered California the unemployment rate of whites skyrocketed.

The concept of women's development begun from Sister Juana Inés de la Cruz, who was a Mexican researcher and artist in the late seventeenth century. Her verse and works highlights the gender separation experienced by women some time ago. Thus, she was viewed as the mother figure of women's liberation in the Americas. The same number of women's activists development today depend on her beliefs. The women’s development then begin to start again around the 1920's, not long after World War One. Amid both World Wars, women needed to go up against the part of men as they were working past their customary parts, for example, housework, rather they had modern employments that men typically had. After the wars, women were disillusioned by the desire

I have always loved music as long as I can remember. I remember the days when I would have to wake up extra early to go to school as a 7 year old because I had to go to my piano lesson two hours before school even started. My mom

In Gnosticism, the dualism embraces fatalism and produces a plastic world. In the cyclical view of the ancient Greeks, history does not move for a goal, but there is a consummation. Is the fatalistic idea that we are all tied up on history's pulley and we have no option, but to accept what is to come. We can see this philosophical bias on Albert Camus' novel The Plague, where the city of Oran was invaded by rats that brought the bubonic plague. The doctors battled to overcome the epidemic. At the end of the book, the doctor says: “it's only a matter of time and the rats will come back”. The lesson is that there is a meaning in the story, we are stuck in a cycle — in a looping — on the wheel of fate. You can see this fatalistic idea of a cyclical world on movies where someone travels back in time to change the future but the same thing always happens. The idea is

Space, an unknown and endless abyss full of mystery and wonder. A beautiful domicile that, as humans, peaks our curiosity. As the saying goes, “curiosity killed the cat”, when it comes to traveling to space, humans are slowly dying from their curiosity. Space is a dangerous place, full of mental and physical altering effects. Astronauts, the deep sea divers of space, must train for years to get use to the effects of space. Space is virtually the exact opposite than the home we know as Earth. Humans, along with all organisms on Earth, were created on Earth for Earth and when we dare explore a place without the same environment, we are asking for complications. When a human is exposed to the vacuum of space, we die within minutes. Over the years scientists have developed technologies that help protect us against the deadly features of space, but in reality it only shields us from about fifty percent of all of the harmful effects. Weightlessness changes us physically, while isolation alters us mentally. Space changes the life of any human including the way we travel from place to place, our sleeping and eating habits, and the amount of exercise needed. Traveling to space has many effects on humans both mentally and physically, which is why they endure intensive training and need technology to survive, but even so, die slowly in its clutches.
