The biography Identical Strangers by Elyse Schein and Paula Bernstein is about twins that got separated at birth, and now are finding out there is another person in the world with their exact DNA. They were part of a study on separated twins. It was to see in nature versus nurture which one has more of an impact. (31-32) Identical twins were easiest to study because of their identical DNA. Scientists working on the study placed both girls in a family in which are very similar; therefore, they both have a brother that is a couple years older than them. They find out about the other twin, and Paula is having their

Ski Mask The Slump God music video “Burn The Hoods” uses many elements to accurately display a portrayal of corruption and racism in modern day America. Throughout the music video there are many cues to forms of symbolism, whether it's visual or audio. The very start of the music video displays credits to the producers and directors of the video and the font being used to display those names is a font used in the old Jim Crow magazines. In the first scene, we get a good look at what all of the characters on set are wearing and the meaning behind them.

Women throughout history have been continually oppressed and have faced inequality in all aspects of life. In My Forbidden Face by Latifa, this theme recurs many times since the main character has been robbed of all basic human rights because of her gender. During the time period of the book, the Taliban took over and forced the people to take part in a radicalized version of Islam and worship as they saw fit. They made their own rules on how people should live, by taking the words of the Koran and twisting it to suit their needs, without any thoughts of how it would affect the people. The majority of the rules were aimed towards women and how they should live their lives.

In the video of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, John Oliver discusses the problem of mass incarceration in the United States. He starts by talking about the extremely large prison population in America. According to Oliver America has a larger prison population than China despite having a much smaller overall population. In fact America has the largest prison population in the entire world. He then discusses how the prison population is mostly populated with minorities and that whites are extremely underrepresented in prisons. Oliver talks about how the prison population has grown eight times larger since 1970 and of that population 50% of the people in federal prisons and 25% of people in state prisons are there for a drug related crime. Oliver continues the discussion by talking about the general lack of public concern for prisoners. He uses clips from television shows as examples of how popular culture uses prison as a joke and does not take it seriously specifically when talking about sexual assault in prisons. He then shows another clip of the Director of Federal Prisons not knowing how big a solitary confinement cell is to point out that even the people in charge of prisons seem not to care about them. Oliver’s next talking point is about prisons becoming privatized and companies like Aramark and the Geo who care more about the profit of the companies than the prisoners they take care of. He ends the segment by summarizing that the conditions

Alessia Cara’s music video “ wild things” is an embodiment of my definition for the word hip. Throughout the decades people were considered hip when they were seen defying social norms. The hip groups of the 70’s counterculture were seen defying different types of norms from their dress and music they listened to, to the weed and LSD that they did. Alessia and her friends embodied this style of life. They lived a carefree night, and defied social norms set by parents and adults. As stated in the lyrics they did not care what people thought of them they were going to break loose and have fun. Alessia Cara and her friends defied social norms and had fun creating a movement for others to follow, therefore they're hip. Alessia Cara’s music video

During the duration of the music video Beyoncé makes numerous references to historical events. She uses these references as a way to illustrate the story and educate the morals behind them. For example, Beyoncé purposely uses the sinking New Orleans police car to demonstrate the story behind the event. The narrator, Beyoncé, visually communicates the story of how Hurricane Katrina traumatically demolished the city of New Orleans. By laying on the sinking police car she is simply visually stating that police officers, during this dramatic event, were drowning the people of New Orleans, rather than aiding them in a desperate time of need. There does seem to be a casual relation between the people of New Orleans and the

Black Eyed Peas in “Where Is the Love” have used repetition, rhyming and figurative language. The song has rhyming throughout all the lyrics to make it catchy and so that it gets stuck in people’s minds so that they remember the song and the issues that have been mentioned. Also, to make certain important words stand out, such as, “discriminate”, “hate” and “irate, all to elicit emotion on the

Back in the 1970’s music videos were already able to be produced by record companies and were being used in promotional sites. This was thanks to technology that was created in the 1950’s by French artists (Serge Gainsbourg, François Hardy, Jacques Dutronc)

With souped-up cars, gold clad attire and reckless behavior, M.I.A’s video for Bad Girls is the definition of “life in the fast lane”. M.I.A, an alternative hip-hop artist, stays true to her roots in Bad Girls, beginning the video with bass beats that are characteristic of the hip-hop genre―immediately making you feel the music and want to dance along. All the while, she still captures the essence of the video by mixing traditional hip-hop rhythms with a Mediterranean flair, giving the song an overall hypnotic quality with a hint of sex appeal.

Amber Holloway has to make her own way in the world. Hunter Webb has had every advantage in life, but has an artist’s soul. When Hunter comes to Amber’s aid outside the art building of their college, an immediate attraction sparks a new relationship. But their own personal struggles and the malicious intentions of others threaten to destroy them.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice your social power to be with someone you love. At least that’s what the lead male character in “You Belong With Me” had to do. The protagonist (blonde Taylor) is a stereotypical nerdy girl who is in love with her neighbor. Little does the protagonist know, is that the neighbor feels the same way. The neighbor is a popular but sweet, star football player who is dating one of the meanest most popular girls in the school.

Kendrick Lamar Duckworth often references the experience of sitting on his father’s shoulders at the age of 8, watching West coast hip-hop legends Dr. Dre and Tupac film the music video for their anthem to the Golden State, “California Love” as the spark that ignited his creative bonfire. Born on June 17, 1987 to couple who moved from Chicago to Compton with only $500 to their names in order to escape the gang lifestyle, Lamar was exposed to guns, drugs, and violence at a young age. “I 'm 6 years old, seein ' my uncles playing with shotguns, sellin ' dope in front of the apartment.” Lamar witnessed his first murder outside his family’s apartment when he was 5 years old — a teenager gunned down while selling drugs. Although Lamar was never affiliated with a gang, his whereabouts did put him into a few tense situations with gang members; in the song “Average Joe,” Lamar recounts his experience being shot at by a group of Crips simply because of the neighborhood in which he lived. But instead of being caught up in the whirlpool of gang-banging that takes the lives of so many young Compton residents before him, he used his experiences as motivation and fodder for exploding music career.

The video that I have chosen from www.ted.com is called, “Why You Should Talk to Strangers,” by Kio Stark. I chose this video because the title really had me wondering what her answer would be and what justification she had behind it. The big picture behind her speech was to acknowledge people when you see them. We walk around the University of Louisville’s campus all the time, seeing people we don’t know and never speak to them. This video really influenced me to want to talk to the people I pass by every day and say a single, “Hi,” to them. Within her presentation Stark views, “…the overlooked benefits of pushing past our default discomfort when it comes to strangers and embracing those fleeting but profoundly beautiful moments of genuine connection.”
