Shadow Kiss Chapter 8

Eight FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, I followed Christian around without incident. And as I did, I found myself growing more and more impatient. For one thing, I was discovering that a lot of being a guardian was waiting around. I'd always known that, but the reality was harder than I'd realized. Guardians were absolutely essential for when Strigoi decided to attack. But those Strigoi attacks? They were generally rare. Time could pass – years could pass – without a guardian ever having to engage in any sort of conflict. While my instructors certainly wouldn't make us wait that long during this exercise, they nonetheless wanted to teach us patience and how important it was not to slack just because there'd been no danger in a while. We were also being held to the strictest conditions a guardian could be in: always standing and always being formal. More often than not, guardians who lived with Moroi families behaved casually in their homes and did ordinary things like reading or watching TV – while still staying perfectly aware of any threats. We couldn't always expect that, though, so we had to practice the hard way while in school. My patience level didn't do so well with all this waiting, but my frustration was more than just restlessness. I was desperate to prove myself, to make amends for not having reacted when Stan attacked. I'd had no further Mason sightings and had decided that what I'd seen really had been fatigue- and stress-induced. That made me happy, because those were much better reasons than being crazy or inept. But certain things were not making me happy. When Christian and I met up with Lissa after class one day, I could feel worry and fear and anger radiating off of her. It was only the bond that clued me in, though. To all outside appearances, she looked fine. Eddie and Christian, who were talking about something with each other, didn't notice a thing. I moved close and put an arm around her as we walked. â€Å"It's okay. Everything's going to be okay.† I knew what was bothering her. Victor. We'd decided that Christian – despite his willingness to â€Å"take care of things† – probably wasn't the best choice to go see about us getting into Victor's trial. So Lissa had played diplomat the other day and very politely spoken to Alberta about the possibility of us testifying. Alberta had told her, equally politely, that it was out of the question. â€Å"I figured if we just explained things – why it was so important – they'd let us go,† she murmured to me. â€Å"Rose, I can't sleep. †¦ I just keep thinking about it. What if he gets loose? What if they really set him free?† Her voice trembled, and there was an old vulnerability there that I hadn't seen in a long time. That sort of thing usually set off my warning bells, but this time, it triggered a weird rush of memories, of times past when Lissa had depended on me so much. I was happy to see how strong she'd become and wanted to make sure she stayed that way. I tightened my arm, hard to do while still walking. â€Å"He won't get loose,† I said fiercely. â€Å"We'll get to court. I'll make sure of it. You know I'd never let anything happen to you.† She leaned her head against my shoulder, a small smile on her face. â€Å"That's what I love about you. You have no idea how you'll get us to court, but you still push forward anyway to make me feel better.† â€Å"Is it working?† â€Å"Yes.† The worry still lurked in her, but her amusement dampened its effects a little. Plus, despite her teasing me about my bold promise, my words really had reassured her. Unfortunately, we soon found out that Lissa had other reasons to be frustrated. She was waiting for the medication to fade from her system and allow her full access to her magic. It was there – we could both sense it – but she was having trouble touching it. Three days had passed, and nothing had changed for her. I felt for her, but my biggest concern was her mental state – which thus far had stayed clear. â€Å"I don't know what's going on,† she complained. We had almost reached the commons. Lissa and Christian had plans to watch a movie. I half-wondered how difficult it would be for me to watch the movie and be on alert. â€Å"It seems like I should be able to do something, but I still can't. I'm stuck.† â€Å"That might not be a bad thing,† I pointed out, moving away from Lissa so I could scan the path ahead. She shot me a rueful look. â€Å"You're such a worrier. I thought that was my job.† â€Å"Hey, it's my job to look out for you.† â€Å"Actually, it's my job,† said Eddie, in a rare show of joking. â€Å"Neither of you should be worrying,† she argued. â€Å"Not about this.† Christian slipped his arm around her waist. â€Å"You're more impatient than Rose here. All you need to do is – â€Å" It was d? ¦j? ¤ vu. Stan leapt out from a copse of trees and reached for Lissa, wrapping his arm around her torso and jerking her toward him. My body responded instantly, no hesitation whatsoever as I moved to â€Å"save† her. The only problem was that Eddie had responded instantly too, and he was closer, which put him there ahead of me. I circled, trying to get in on the action, but the way the two were squaring off blocked me from being effective. Eddie came at Stan from the side, fierce and swift, pulling Stan's arm away from Lissa with a strength nearly powerful enough to rip it out of the socket. Eddie's wiry frame often hid how muscular he really was. Stan's hand caught the side of Eddie's face, nails digging in, but it was enough so that Lissa could wriggle free and run to join Christian behind me. With her out of the way, I moved off to the side, hoping to assist Eddie – but there was no need. Without missing a beat, he grabbed Stan and threw him down to the ground. Half a breath later, Eddie's practice stake was poised right above Stan's heart. Stan laughed, genuinely pleased. â€Å"Nice job, Castile.† Eddie withdrew the stake and helped his instructor up. With the action gone, I could now see how bruised and blotched Stan's face was. Attacks for us novices might be few and far between, but our guardians were picking fights daily during this exercise. All of them were taking a lot of abuse, but they handled it with grace and good humor. â€Å"Thank you, sir,† said Eddie. He looked pleased but not conceited. â€Å"I'd be faster and stronger if I were Strigoi, of course, but I swear, you could have rivaled one with your speed there.† Stan glanced at Lissa. â€Å"You okay?† â€Å"Fine,† she said, face aglow. I could sense that she'd actually enjoyed the excitement. Her adrenaline was running high. Stan's smiling face disappeared as he turned his attention on me. â€Å"And you – what were you doing?† I stared, aghast at his harsh tone. It was what he'd said last time too. â€Å"What do you mean?† I exclaimed. â€Å"I didn't freeze or anything this time! I was ready to back him up, looking for a chance to join in.† â€Å"Yes,† he agreed. â€Å"That's exactly the problem. You were so eager to get a punch in that you forgot that you had two Moroi behind you. They might as well have not existed as far as you were concerned. You're out in the open, and you had your back to them.† I strode forward and glared at him, unconcerned about propriety. â€Å"That is not fair. If we were in the real world and a Strigoi attacked, you cannot tell me that another guardian wouldn't jump in and do everything they could to take that Strigoi down as quickly possible.† â€Å"You're probably right,† Stan said. â€Å"But you weren't thinking about eliminating the threat efficiently. You weren't thinking about your exposed Moroi. You were thinking about how quickly you could do something exciting and redeem yourself.† â€Å"Wh-what? Aren't you making a few leaps there? You're grading me on what you think was my motivation. How can you be sure what I'm thinking?† I didn't even know half the time. â€Å"Instinct,† he replied mysteriously. He took out a small pad of paper and made some notes on it. I narrowed my eyes, wishing I could see through the notepad and discern what he was writing about me. When he finished, he slipped the pad back in his coat and nodded at all of us. â€Å"See you later.† We watched him walk across the snowy grounds toward the gym where dhampirs trained. My mouth was hanging open, and I couldn't even get any words out at first. When did it end with these people? I was getting burned again and again on stupid technicalities that had nothing to do with how I'd actually perform in the real world. â€Å"That was not even fair. How can he judge me on what he thinks I was thinking?† Eddie shrugged as we continued our journey toward the dorm. â€Å"He can think whatever he wants. He's our instructor.† â€Å"Yeah, but he's going to give me another bad mark! Field experience is pointless if it can't really show how we'd do against Strigoi. I can't believe this. I'm good – I'm really good. How on earth can I be failing this?† Nobody had an actual answer for that, but Lissa noted uncomfortably, â€Å"Well†¦ whether he was fair or unfair, he had one thing right: You were great, Eddie.† I glanced over at Eddie and felt bad that I was letting my own drama take away from his success. I was pissed off – really pissed off – but Stan's wrongness was my problem to deal with. Eddie had performed brilliantly, and everyone praised him so much on the walk back that I could see a blush creeping over his cheeks. Or maybe that was just the cold. Regardless, I was happy for him. We settled into the lounge, pleased to find no one else had claimed it – and that it was warm and toasty. Each of the dorms had a few of these lounges, and all were stocked with movies and games and lots of comfy chairs and couches. They were only available for student use at certain times. On weekends, they were pretty much open the whole time, but on weekdays, they had limited hours – presumably to encourage us to do our homework. Eddie and I assessed the room and made a plan, then took up our positions. Standing against the wall, I eyed the couch Lissa and Christian were sprawled out upon with considerable envy. I'd thought the movie would distract me from being on alert, but actually, it was my own churning feelings that kept my mind spinning. I couldn't believe Stan had said what he'd said. He'd even admitted that in the heat of battle, any guardian would be trying to get into the fight. His argument about me having ulterior, glory-seeking motives was absurd. I wondered if I was in serious danger of failing this field experience. Surely, so long as I passed, they wouldn't take me from Lissa after graduation? Alberta and Dimitri had spoken like this was all just an experiment to give Lissa and me new training, but suddenly, an anxious, paranoid part of me began to wonder. Eddie was doing a great job of protecting her. Maybe they wanted to see how well she could work with other guardians. Maybe they were worried that I was only good at protecting her and not other Moroi – I'd let Mason die, after all, right? Maybe the real test here was to see if I needed to be replaced. After all, wh o was I, really? An expendable novice. She was the Dragomir princess. She would always have protection – and it didn't have to be me. The bond was pointless if I ultimately proved incompetent. Adrian's entrance put my frantic paranoia on hold. He slipped into the darkened room, winking as he flounced into an armchair near me. I had figured it was only a matter of time before he would surface. I think we were his only entertainment on campus. Or maybe not, judging from the strong smell of alcohol around him. â€Å"Are you sober?† I asked him when the movie ended. â€Å"Sober enough. What have you guys been up to?† Adrian hadn't visited my dreams since the one in the garden. He'd also laid off on some of his outrageous flirting. Most of his appearances with us were to work with Lissa or to ease his boredom. We recapped our encounter with Stan for him, playing up Eddie's bravery and not mentioning my dressing-down. â€Å"Nice work,† said Adrian. â€Å"Looks like you got a battle scar too.† He pointed to the side of Eddie's face where three red marks glared back at us. I remembered Stan's nails hitting Eddie during the struggle to free Lissa. Eddie lightly touched his cheek. â€Å"I can barely feel it.† Lissa leaned forward and studied him. â€Å"You got that protecting me.† â€Å"I got that trying to pass my field experience,† he teased. â€Å"Don't worry about it.† And that's when it happened. I saw it seize her, that compassion and undeniable urge to help others that so often filled her. She couldn't stand to see pain, couldn't stand to sit by if she could do something. I felt the power build up in her, a glorious and swirling feeling that made my toes tingle. I was experiencing how it affected her. It was fire and bliss. Intoxicating. She reached out and touched Eddie's face†¦. And the marks vanished. She dropped her hand, and the euphoria of spirit faded from both of us. â€Å"Son of a bitch,† breathed Adrian. â€Å"You weren't kidding about that.† He peered at Eddie's cheek. â€Å"Not a goddamned trace of it.† Lissa had stood up and now sank back to the couch. She leaned her head back against it and closed her eyes. â€Å"I did it. I can still do it.† â€Å"Of course you can,† said Adrian dismissively. â€Å"Now you have to show me how to do it.† She opened her eyes. â€Å"It's not that easy.† â€Å"Oh, I see,† he said in an exaggerated tone. â€Å"You grill me like crazy about how to see auras and walk in dreams, but now you won't reveal your trade secrets.† â€Å"It's not a ‘won't,'† she argued. â€Å"It's a ‘can't.'† â€Å"Well, cousin, try.† Then suddenly he raked his nails across his hand and drew blood. â€Å"Jesus Christ!† I yelped. â€Å"Are you insane?† Who was I kidding? Of course he was. Lissa reached out and held his hand, and just like before, she healed the skin. Elation filled her, but my mood suddenly dropped without any real cause. The two of them launched into a discussion I couldn't follow, using standard magical terms as well as some terms I was pretty sure they'd invented on the spot. Judging from Christian's face, it looked like he didn't understand either, and it soon became clear that Adrian and Lissa had forgotten us in their zeal over the mystery of spirit. Christian finally stood up, looking bored. â€Å"Come on, Rose. If I wanted to listen to this, I'd be back in class. I'm hungry.† Lissa glanced up. â€Å"Dinner's not for another hour and a half.† â€Å"Feeder,† he said. â€Å"I haven't had mine today.† He planted a kiss on Lissa's cheek and then left. I followed alongside him. It had started snowing again, and I glared at the flakes accusingly as they drifted down around us. When it had first started snowing in early December, I'd been excited. Now this white stuff was getting pretty damned old. As it had a few nights ago, though, being out in such harsh weather defused my mood a little, the cold air kind of snapping me out of it. With each step closer to the feeders, I felt myself calming down. A â€Å"feeder† was what we called humans who volunteered to be regular sources of blood for Moroi. Unlike Strigoi, who killed the victims they drank from, Moroi took only small quantities each day and didn't have to kill the donor. These humans lived for the high they got from vampire bites and seemed perfectly happy to spend their lives that way and separate from normal human society. It was weird but necessary for Moroi. The school usually had a feeder or two in the Moroi dorms for overnight hours, but for most of the day, students had to go to the commons to get their daily fix. As I continued walking, taking in the sights of white trees, white fences, and white boulders, something else white in the landscape caught my attention. Well, it wasn't white exactly. There was color – pale, washed-out color. I came to an abrupt halt and felt my eyes go wide. Mason stood on the other side of the quad, nearly blending in with a tree and a post. No, I thought. I'd convinced myself that this was over, but there he was, looking at me with that sorrowful, phantom face. He pointed, off toward the back of campus. I glanced that way but again had no clue what to look for. Turning back to him, I could only stare, fear twisting within me. An icy-cold hand touched the side of my neck, and I spun around. It was Christian. â€Å"What's up?† he asked. I looked back to where I'd seen Mason. He was gone, of course. I squeezed my eyes shut a moment and sighed. Then, turning back to Christian, I kept walking and said, â€Å"Nothing.† Christian usually always had some witty stream of comments whenever we were together, but he was silent as we made the rest of our journey. I was consumed with my own thoughts and worries about Mason, so I had little to say either. This sighting had only lasted a few seconds. Considering how hard it was to see out there, it seemed more than likely that he'd been a trick of the eye, right? I tried to convince myself of this for the rest of the walk. When we entered the commons and escaped the cold, it finally hit me that something was amiss with Christian. â€Å"What's wrong?† I asked, trying not to think about Mason. â€Å"Are you okay?† â€Å"Fine,† he said. â€Å"The way you just said that proves you aren't fine.† He ignored me as we went to the feeders' room. It was busier than I'd expected, and all of the little cubicles that feeders sat in were filled with Moroi. Brandon Lazar was one of them. As he fed, I caught a glimpse of a faded green bruise on his cheek and recalled that I never had found out who had beaten him up. Christian checked in with the Moroi at the door and then stood in the waiting area until he was called. I racked my brain, trying to figure out what could have caused Christian's bad mood. â€Å"What's the matter? Didn't you like the movie?† No answer. â€Å"Grossed out by Adrian's self-mutilation?† Giving Christian a hard time was a guilty pleasure. I could do this all night. No answer. â€Å"Are you – Oh.† It hit me then. I was surprised I hadn't thought of this before. â€Å"Are you upset that Lissa wanted to talk magic with Adrian?† He shrugged, which told me all I needed to know. â€Å"Come on, she doesn't like magic more than she likes you. It's just this thing with her, you know? She spent all these years thinking she couldn't do real magic, and then found out she could – except it was this wacky, completely unpredictable kind. She's just trying to understand it.† â€Å"I know,† he said tightly, staring across the expansive room without actually focusing on any of the people. â€Å"That's not the problem.† â€Å"Then why †¦Ã¢â‚¬  I let my words fade as another revelation hit me. â€Å"You're jealous of Adrian.† Christian fixed his ice-blue eyes on me, and I could tell I'd hit the mark. â€Å"I'm not jealous. I'm just – â€Å" † – feeling insecure over the fact that your girlfriend is spending a lot of time with a rich and reasonably cute guy whom she might like. Or, as we like to call it, jealous.† He turned away from me, clearly annoyed. â€Å"The honeymoon might be over between us, Rose. Damn it. Why are these people taking so long?† â€Å"Look,† I said, shifting my stance. My feet hurt after so much standing. â€Å"Didn't you listen to my romantic speech the other day about being in Lissa's heart? She's crazy about you. You're the only one she wants, and believe me, I can say that with 100 percent certainty. If there was anyone else, I'd know.† The hint of a smile crossed his lips. â€Å"You're her best friend. You could be covering for her.† I scoffed. â€Å"Not if she were with Adrian. I assure you, she has no interest in him, thank God – at least not romantically.† â€Å"He can be persuasive, though. He knows how to work his compulsion†¦Ã¢â‚¬  â€Å"He's not using it on her, though. I don't even know if he can – I think they cancel each other out. Besides, haven't you been paying attention? I'm the unfortunate object of Adrian's attention.† â€Å"Really?† asked Christian, clearly surprised. Guys were so oblivious to this sort of stuff. â€Å"I know he flirts – â€Å" â€Å"And shows up in my dreams uninvited. Seeing as I can't get away, it gives him the perfect chance to torture me with his so-called charm and attempt to be romantic.† He turned suspicious. â€Å"He shows up in Lissa's dreams too.† Shoot. Shouldn't have mentioned the dreams. What had Adrian said? â€Å"Those are instructional. I don't think you need to worry.† â€Å"People wouldn't stare if she showed up at some party with Adrian.† â€Å"Ah,† I said. â€Å"So this is what it's really about. You think you're going to drag her down?† â€Å"I'm not that good †¦ at those kinds of social things,† he admitted in a rare show of vulnerability. â€Å"And I think Adrian's got a better reputation than me.† â€Å"Are you joking?† â€Å"Come on, Rose. Drinking and smoking aren't even in the same league as people thinking you're going to turn Strigoi. I saw the way everyone acted when she took me to dinners and stuff at the ski lodge. I'm a liability. She's the only representative from her family. She's going to spend the rest of her life tied up with politics, trying to get in good with people. Adrian could do a lot more for her than I could.† I resisted the urge to literally shake some sense into him. â€Å"I can see where you're coming from, but there's one flaw in your airtight logic. There's nothing going on with her and Adrian.† He looked away and didn't say anything else. I suspected his feelings went beyond her simply being with another guy. As he'd even admitted, he had a whole tangle of insecurity about Lissa. Being with her had done wonders for his attitude and sociability, but at the end of the day, he still had trouble dealing with coming from a â€Å"tainted† family. He still worried he wasn't good enough for her. â€Å"Rose is right,† an unwelcome voice said behind us. Preparing my best glare, I turned around to face Jesse. Naturally, Ralf lurked nearby. Jesse's assigned novice, Dean, stood watch at the doorway. They apparently had a more formal bodyguard relationship. Jesse and Ralf hadn't been in line when we arrived, but they'd apparently wandered up and heard enough to piece together some of our conversation. â€Å"You're still royal. You have every right to be with her.† â€Å"Wow, talk about a turnaround,† I said. â€Å"Weren't you guys just telling me the other day how Christian was about to turn Strigoi at any moment? I'd watch your necks, if I were you. He looks dangerous.† Jesse shrugged. â€Å"Hey, you said he was clean, and if anyone knows Strigoi, it's you. Besides, we're actually starting to think that rebellious Ozera nature is a good thing.† I eyed him suspiciously, assuming there must be some trick here. Yet he looked sincere, like he really was convinced Christian was safe. â€Å"Thanks,† said Christian, a slight sneer curling his lips. â€Å"Now that you've endorsed me and my family, I can finally get on with my life. It's the only thing that's been holding me back.† â€Å"I'm serious,† said Jesse. â€Å"The Ozeras have been kind of quiet lately, but they used to be one of the strongest families out there. They could be again – especially you. You're not afraid to do things that you aren't supposed to. We like that. If you'd get over your antisocial bullshit, you could make the right friends and go far. Might make you stop worrying so much about Lissa.† Christian and I exchanged glances. â€Å"What are you getting at?† he asked. Jesse smiled and cast a covert glance around us. â€Å"Some of us have been getting together. We've formed a group – sort of a way for those of us from the better families to unite, you know? Things are kind of crazy, what with those Strigoi attacks last month and people not knowing what to do. There's also talk about making us fight and finding new ways to hand out the guardians.† He said it with a sneer, and I bristled at hearing guardians described like objects. â€Å"Too many non-royals are trying to take charge.† â€Å"Why is that a problem if their ideas are good?† I demanded. â€Å"Their ideas aren't good. They don't know their place. Some of us have started thinking of ways to protect ourselves from that and look out for each other. I think you'd like what we've learned to do. After all, we're the ones who need to keep making decisions, not dhampirs and nobody Moroi. We're the elite. The best. Join us, and there are things we could do to help you with Lissa.† I couldn't help it. I laughed. Christian simply looked disgusted. â€Å"I take back what I said earlier,† he told them. â€Å"This is what I've been waiting for my whole life. An invitation to join your tree house club.† Ralf, big and lumbering, took a step forward. â€Å"Don't screw with us. This is serious.† Christian sighed. â€Å"Then don't screw with me. If you really think I want to hang out with you guys and try to make things even better for Moroi who are already spoiled and selfish, then you're even stupider than I thought you were. And that was pretty stupid.† Anger and embarrassment filled both Jesse and Ralf's faces, but mercifully, Christian's name was called just then. He seemed considerably cheered as we walked across the room. Nothing like a confrontation with two assholes to make you feel better about your love life. Christian's assigned feeder tonight was a woman named Alice, who was the oldest feeder on campus. Most Moroi preferred young donors, but Christian, being the twisted person he was, liked her because she was kind of senile. She wasn't that old – sixties – but too many vampire endorphins over her life had permanently affected her. â€Å"Rose,† she said, turning her dazed blue eyes on me. â€Å"You aren't usually with Christian. Have you and Vasilisa had a fight?† â€Å"Nope,† I said. â€Å"Just getting a change of scenery.† â€Å"Scenery,† she murmured, glancing at a nearby window. Moroi kept windows tinted to block out light, and I doubted a human could see anything. â€Å"The scenery is always changing. Have you noticed that?† â€Å"Not our scenery,† said Christian, sitting beside her. â€Å"That snow's not going anywhere. Not for a few months.† She sighed and gave him an exasperated look. â€Å"I wasn't talking about the scenery.† Christian gave me an amused smile, then leaned over and sank his teeth into her neck. Her expression grew slack, all talk of scenery or whatever she'd meant forgotten as he drank from her. I lived around vampires so much that I didn't even think about their fangs half the time. Most Moroi were actually pretty good at hiding them. It was only in moments like these that I remembered the power a vampire had. Usually, when I watched a vampire feed, I was reminded of when Lissa and I had run away from the Academy, and I'd let her feed off of me. I'd never reached the crazy addiction levels of a feeder, but I had enjoyed the brief high. I used to want it in a way I could never admit to anybody. In our world, only humans gave blood. Dhampirs who did it were cheap and humiliated. Now, when I watched a vampire drink, I no longer thought about how good the high felt. Instead, I flashed back to that room in Spokane where Isaiah, our Strigoi captor, had fed off of Eddie. The feelings that stirred up in me were anything but good. Eddie had suffered horribly, and I hadn't been able to do anything except sit there and watch. Grimacing, I turned away from Christian and Alice. When we left the feeders' room, Christian looked more vibrant and upbeat. â€Å"The weekend's here, Rose. No classes – and you get your day off.† â€Å"No,† I said, having almost forgotten. Damn it. Why did he have to remind me? I was almost starting to feel better after the Stan incident. I sighed. â€Å"I have community service.†

How Does the Film “the Breakfast Club” (1985) Perpetuate Teen Stereotypes Essay

â€Å"The Breakfast Club† shows the typical stereotypes of before, specially the 80s. The snob girl that thinks she shouldn’t be there, the popular sports boy, the rebel that is not understood, the nerd that doesn’t want to be in trouble, the outcast that is ignored, and the teacher that thinks to highly of themselves and thinks that teenager equals problem. In the 80s â€Å"The Breakfast Club† became really popular. This could be because the teenagers that saw it found themselves identified with the characters. It also made adults and teenagers see from the outside what was happening, and that stereotypes did exist. Nowadays these stereotypes still exist in a way, but not as marked as before. Now teenagers could communicate with other people from different groups, not like in the film, were the â€Å"popular† girl doesn’t think the rebel, nerd or outcast should be with her there. She thinks to highly of herself. Internet has also helped people not label others as much. Now people sometimes meet though internet, and this makes the first impression useless in what it refers to appearance. Teenagers get to know each other more, so they don’t fall for the stereotypical appearance of others. I find that what has also changed between the 80s and now, is that studies have become more important. It is true that we still think a lot about our appearance, clothes, etc. but the society has made us more aware of the fact that without studies we maybe wouldn’t be able to go far. More information on TV has also influenced, now people are informed better on what’s happening around the world. Teenagers now know there is more apart from school and friends, and are more worried about their future and world-wide problems, than to belong to a group. We are more understanding on what is around us, we are less narrow minded. Know we know there are people the same as us, so we give more opportunities. However, are stereotypes still giving problems? Many adults stereotype teenagers as being lazy, unmotivated, and undetermined individuals. Loud, obnoxious, rebellious, out of control, and up to no good†¦ Many people in different generations sincerely believe that all teenagers are guaranteed trouble no matter where they are. I am not arguing that teenagers like that don’t exist, because there are plenty of them out there, but it is bothering that one type of teenager has been able to spoil the image of all the others. Things like long or coloured hair, black clothes, heavy make-up, ect. Create a wrong idea of the person. Things like saying that a teenager is bad just because they are trouble makers is wrong, someone could be just having fun and act serious somewhere else. People, specially teachers and parents, think that all teenagers are always ready for the battle, that they are not capable of reasoning, listening, or saying something interesting. In an external point of view, I personally find teenagers more interesting than any other group of ages. We are in the middle of children and adults, our view of the both is split into two and our exposure between them is different, this creates a wider point of view. Therefore, a different opinion.

Can Give Rise To Psychological Issues

Explain Can Give Rise To Psychological Issues? Withholding of the truth about Amy can give rise to psychological issues and have an impact on her quality of life. Her physical inabilities as difficulty to find words and repetition during a conversation and lack of concentration are contributing to her psychological distress, as she is unable to understand the reason of her sudden change in behaviour and memory. Withholding the information can have a negative impact on the patient’s attitude. It would reduce her coping ability, cause mood disturbances and anxiety and reduces her ability to prepare for the future(Kelley & Morrison, 2015). The withholding of life limiting illness about Amy also has serious negative impact on her family. Her mother is in her 80’s and witnessing such a change in behaviour and mood in Amy can have psychological impact and extremely painful. Her son Erik finds it difficult to conceal the truth of her life limiting illness from Amy and that might affect her end-of-life care and her compliance with the treatment and medication. This puts her family members in a hard situation and her family members face ethical dilemma whether to inform her or not. This situation raises ethical dilemma for me. Although, Amy and her family members wants to withhold her life limiting illness as posed by the family, the primary concern is to disclose the illness to her in culturally sensitive manner. This ethical dilemma can affect her end-of-life care and response to treatment. As she has limited English speaking ability, it is important to convey through family members or interpreters. The considerations include using of plain language, addressing of one piece of information at a time and ask about Amy’s worries, thoughts and understandings after illness disclosure through culture centred communication (Katz & Johnson, 2013). The care provided to Amy should include her cultural practices and spiritual needs and directed towards culture-centred care. It is important for the staffs to learn about her beliefs, cultural attitudes meanings of illness, health and symptoms. As she is diagnosed with life-limiting illness, it is important to recognize the unique cultural aspects of the care provision at the end-of-life (Wittenberg, et al., 2015). Knowing about cultural values of Amy would help the staffs to understand, grapple and navigate through the limiting illness. Integration of Amy’s cultural needs would help staffs in delivering her end-of-life care. Staffs need to understand that cultural factors and their integration into healthcare would influence her healthcare seeking behaviour, medical and clinical decision-making and finally health outcomes. Therefore, culture-centred end-of-life care act as driving factor in delivering culturally competent healthcare to Amy. By providing culture-centred, care to Amy would help her and family to respond to the end-of-life care and have a positive impact on their psychological well-being. The cultural consideration and specific spiritual needs of Amy would be fulfilled in her terminal diagnosis, as the staffs would provide culturally appropriate care that improves her and family situation. As a graduate health professional, I would like to spend time to develop an understanding of her feelings and specific needs to address anxiety and point of disagreement in providing end-of-life care. I will try to develop an empathetic relationship with Amy and her family in providing culture-centred care. For this culture-centred communication, principles are important through interpreters to understand Amy’s true preferences for receiving illness information. As she has limited English speaking ability, it is important to be cognizant about how her cultural factors and beliefs might affect her end-of-life care. This sensitivity to Amy’s individual and cultural preferences would help to avoid stereotyping and in making incorrect assessments in providing her end-of-life care (Moir, Roberts, Martz, Perry, & Tivis, 2015).   Katz, R.

RISK VERSUS REWARD OF NUCLEAR POWER Research Paper

RISK VERSUS REWARD OF NUCLEAR POWER - Research Paper Example But there are many drawbacks and negativities associated with nuclear power as well (In Foreman et al 1970; Miller et al 2011). The advent of nuclear power brought with it many advantages. Nuclear power can be used for the production of different forms of energy and electricity production is one of its major uses. Nuclear energy production provides for economic benefits as it serves as a competitor for other energy producing resources. This results in an overall lower cost of energy for consumers. It has environmental benefits as it does not release gases which result from the burning of fossil fuels and hence it protects the environment. Furthermore, the usage of nuclear power can assist in the conservation of fossil fuels whose reserves are depleting at a very fast pace (In Foreman et al 1970; Miller et al 2011). Nuclear power has proved to be very helpful but this source of energy has its own disadvantages. The energy that is produced from nuclear power plants is less and the cost of the building of the nuclear power plants is very high. Another major drawback is the waste products that are released from these nuclear power plants. These wastes are toxic and radioactive and the dumping of these wastes is a very complicated issue. This is owing to the fact that leakage from dumping sites can result in land and water pollution which can have serious consequences. Nuclear power has also been responsible for the production of nuclear weapons which can prove to be very dangerous for the human race. The last risk associated with nuclear power plants is the accidents that may occur in these plants and result in the production of toxic substances into the environment (Miller et al 2011). The severity of the nuclear power plant accidents can be accessed with the impact of the Chernobyl disaster that took place in the year 1986 in Ukraine. A nuclear power plant disrupted and there was radioactive

Critical thought - Assignment Example Students have different lenses or opinions of the given instructional materials (depending on how they understand or correlate it with their experiences). The same applies to our lives. We may have seen an incident and viewed it as wrong according to our perception of culture or morality. Others may see it as normal, usual, right because they have different lenses as ours. An experience of mine regarding lenses had influenced my thinking of a particular incident. I had a misunderstanding with a friend about certain â€Å"time and commitment† issue. A few hours later, she has posted something on her social to which I have connected to the context of time and commitment. I thought that she was pertaining to me and to our arguments so I felt offended and did not talk to her for a long period of time. Months passed, I learned from her mother that she was facing a problem at her part-time job which concerns time and commitment issues. It was then that I realized that we have seen the situation in different lenses and I was wrong of my perceptions. The concept of our own lenses will help us become aware of the ones we have as compared to others. Not all individuals have the perceptions or thinking as ours. If we will only just perceived the world according to our lenses, we may have some misunderstanding of the people around us. In addition, we will fail to examine the objective truth and we will not bother to examine facts or evidences because we are already blinded by our lenses. By academic definition, perceiving is how we processed our thinking and understanding of the world through what we called â€Å"lenses† which may vary because of our individual personalities, experiences, biases, assumptions, and ways of viewing thing (Chaffee, 2012, 149; Thomson, 2002, 155). Believing, on the other hand, is establishing perceptual experiences into a belief structure or cognition and being able to execute or apply these

Evaluate whether the rapid growth of the last decade can be sustained - Essay Example The site has recorded tremendous growth since its inception, and this is owed to various factors as will be discussed in this paper. The success of Facebook mainly lies on the fact that the company has endeavored to improve the products it offers so that they meet the requirements of users (Walter, 2013).

Reflection paper - Essay Example illiant work of American FBI agents and their valuable experience, they still sometimes miss important facts just because the crime is committed by a person who simply could not be suspected of committing any crime. The case of Robert Hanssen was one of such cases which seem hopeless. The most unpleasant moment in the investigation is the desire of agents not to find a spy, but to close the case. They started suspecting an innocent man Brian Kelly and traced him everywhere until he was fired from job. They caused many troubles to him, but the real violator remained free and unsuspected. Finally, looking for the evidences of Brian’s non-existed guilt, they got the file with the proofs of spies work in the Soviet Union from the ex-agent of KGB for $7 million. Inside the file they found an audio record of a conversation. They were sure that they would hear the voice of Brian Kelly and were unpleasantly surprised when heard a voice of a different man, unknown, but a bit familiar. Finally one of the agents recognized the voice: it was the voice of Robert Hanssen. It is also known that they found the fingerprints of Hanssen on one of the document and recognized the voice only after that. But we can hardy state that he would be suspected only due to fingerprints. Criminalists are currently facing a very serious problem connected with the interpretation of fingerprints. They doubt if they should believe this method. If genetic dactyloscopy can be considered an absolutely reliable method of personality identification provided that the selection was made correctly, plain analysis of fingerprints frequently leads to mistakes. Widespread belief in the uniqueness of papillary lines for each person is rather a product of intuition, but not of the scientific investigation. Such belief is not supported by any scientific method, theoretical model or empirical evidence. The wide application of a method can’t guarantee its credibility. During many years the best Eur opean

An analysis of Shakespears Essay Example for Free

An analysis of Shakespears Essay The original sonnets were written by Francesco Petrarca in Italy. The word sonnet comes from the Italian word sonetto meaning little song. The Italian sonnet is made out 14 verses that are split into two parts. The first eight lines, called the octave, describe the problem while the six last lines, sestet, provides the solution. This form is different than English sonnets such as Shakespeare Sonnet 106. English sonnets still have 14 verses but they instead have three quatrains and one rhyming couplet. The first part, like the Italian sonnet, presents the problem. The second and third part complicated this situation further. Then the last part, the rhyming couplet, resolves the presented problem usually in a way that makes it a paradox. Sonnets are written in a strict rhyming and meter scheme. Iambic pentameter is used as a device in writing sonnets. This means that each line has ten syllables that alternate from hard to soft tones. The rhyming scheme for English sonnets is abab cdcd efef and gg for the rhyming couplet. We will be taking a look on Shakespeares Sonnet 106. Shakespeares sonnets are much different from Francesco Petrarcas sonnets. Petrarcas sonnets are about love and beauty while Shakespeares sonnets are mocking all the clichi s of the same thing. Shakespeares Sonnet 106 is a very beautiful sonnet about a lady. What I am assuming is a young man is telling this girl that her beauty is beyond description. He tells her all the writers before him, had premonitions about her and thats why you can find her beauty described in history books. The best lines, in my opinion, is I see their antique pen would have expressd even such a beauty as you master now. I think this line really sums up what Shakespeare is trying to express in the sonnet. I love that even though Shakespeares sonnets are about love, his sonnets are written in a non clichi way. He even mocks the clichi writers in his sonnet. Even though Shakespeares sonnets do not use clichi s, I think that his sonnets are the sweetest things I have ever read. The thing that makes Shakespeares sonnets complete is his choice of words and the technique he uses. Shakespeare describes everything unconventionally but in a genuine way. He explains history, for example, as chronicles of wasted time. In a way, this metaphor reflects the inner working of Shakespeares mind and shows us what his motivation behind his work was. In the sonnet, he shows us that beauty will eventually die and that literature will pass it on to the future. His use personification is very deep and meaningful, such as beauty making beautiful rhyme or antique pen cannot express I also love adjectives, such as lovely and divining eyes. These adjectives really set the tone of the sonnet, which is the essence of beauty and it being everlasting through the art of literature. Shakespeare was a genius of his day of age. His sonnets so intricate that it takes hours just to properly analyze one of them. His non-clichi writing style gave his work a little more pizzazz to his work. He expanded on the idea of the Italian sonnet and made it his own. Shakespeare wrote over 150 sonnets, all them unique in their own way. Shakespeare opens up his mind on paper and tells us the world as it is.

The Hippie Movement, a Counterculture

The Hippie Movement, a Counterculture Carlee Campuzano A counterculture, as described by sociologists across the world, consists of a group that does not follow and/or rejects the simplest norms, values, and practices of the larger society and replaces them with their own. Countercultures can be controversial or just plain weird to members of society, but they have individual purposes that gave them significance at that time and even today. In the 1960s, the prominent Hippie Movement arose and sparked interest all over the United States through their rejection of cultural norms and values concerning dress, hairstyle, work, and raising children (Thomas). Make love not war, the hippies emphasized. This saying along with others summarizes the beliefs and motives of the Hippie Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Influencing law, politics, and everyday life, hippies did not care what others thought of them in the slightest (The Hippie Movement). They lived happily while supporting political causes that they found best for the happiness and health of the people of our nation. Outside of political thinking, hippies had views of sex, drugs, and rock n roll that countered the popular cultural influences during the 60s. No hippie was the same as another, and their individualism contributed to the way they felt vibes or energies, and focused on liberty and self-expression (Issitt). Flowers, peace signs, bright colors, tie-dye, ripped jeans, and long hair and facial hair for men became the perceptible fashion for hippies as they wandered outside of the social norm (The Hippie Movement). Culture began to change in America during the post-World War II era, and once the Vietnam War began, hippies spoke out and became famous through their peaceful protests to bring the troops home. Historians pinpoint their locations of origin as mainly the Haight-Ashbury part of San Francisco, California, and the East Village of New York City (The Hippie Movement). Eventually the hippies gathered in small villages or areas of their own, and in 1965, the first hippie commune was established in the outskirts of Trinidad, Colorado entitled Drop City (Issitt). Among the first hippies, Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters in California and Oregon contributed to the counterculture, taking long road trips in colorful school buses, growing their hair long, wearing bizarre fashions, and taking the drug LSD, which was legal at this time (Cogswell). Smoking marijuana was also an important part of hippie culture, for they sought a life free of stress. Because of the youthful age of the hippies durin g their derivation, parents feared that their children would want to drop out of school and join the movement, desiring to take their own path of self-discovery (The Hippie Movement). The hippies reached their peak in historical significance during the summer of 1967, which history refers to as the Summer of Love. During this summer in San Francisco and numerous other cities across America, Canada, and Europe, hundreds of thousands of hippies gathered to express their value of free love. Here, their well-known nickname of the flower children surfaced. In 1969, the Woodstock Festival in New York marked another milestone for hippies, where they embraced music and peace. Jimi Hendrixs distinguished performance of the Star-Spangled Banner at this festival signified the political aspirations of the Hippie Movement: to reconsider general society and its impact on the people (Cogswell). Coverage of these events by the press led to a growth in the movement, but not for long. After the exultant time for hippies of the 60s, and after the Vietnam War concluded, their counterculture slowly declined due to crime, drug addiction, and maturing (Perera). The Hippie Movements ideo logy did not completely diminish because of the middle school and high school students during the 60s, who in the 70s and later decades continued aspects of hippie culture (Issitt). Elements of the Hippie Movement do still appear today in the 2000s, however, they are just not as controversial or odd as they were during their time of emergence. Developing a sociological perspective allows one to view the behavior of groups in a systematic way, and a sociological imagination gives one the ability to see the connection between the larger world and personal lives (Thomas). The hippie counterculture caught the eye of people all over the country as their cause spread, and soon enough philosophers, writers, musicians, activists, politicians, and the nations youth gathered inspiration from them. Hippies nearly invented the political stance of liberal, socially supporting a sexual revolution and feminism. During the decades of the counterculture, immense social conflict occurred within the United States; although political activism was not the main focus of the hippies, they brought attention to the wrongs of some conflicts, such as the Vietnam War, the civil rights struggle, the Cold War, and the nuclear disarmament movement. They also stood against government laws that banned recreational drugs. The peace symbol, which many Ameri cans know and love today, made its first appearance during the hippie era to symbolize nonviolence. Overall, the Hippie Movement impacted the entire world in the way that it strived for things uncommon in the American culture at the time, causing America to increase its introduction of international culture (Issitt). Ethnocentrism, or the tendency to view ones own culture as superior to all other cultures, definitely surfaced during the decades of the Hippie Movement (Thomas). Americans, especially those who were most patriotic, looked at hippies as inferior, weirdos, and a definite counterculture. Hippies celebrated any activity that brings pleasure, such as drugs, music, and sex, and the larger society viewed this aspect of their movement as provocative. The liberal hippies were living inside of a larger culture that they felt was dominated by conservative values and materialism. During the 60s, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement angered some members of society, and the way in which hippies supported individual rights and freedoms arose similar feelings. Focusing on a pleasant society and cooperation as the peaceful pursuit of ones happiness, hippies were viewed as chaotic. The group is specifically depicted as a counterculture because of their emphasis on changes in major cu ltural stereotypes. Sex, for example, was looked at as a form of self-expression, passion, and love rather than something that should remain within marriages, a norm of this time period. Additionally, few Americans had concern for the environment in the early 60s, so the hippies environmentalism shed new light on a rising movement (Issitt). The hippies did not possess ethnocentrism as Americans did, for they viewed everyone as equal. Cultural relativism defines as the belief that cultures should be judged by their own standards (Thomas). Average Americans completely judged and criticized the hippies, looking at their movement as indiscriminate, unhygienic, and irresponsible. In a society where equality for women was not generally accepted, the hippie women leaving their homes to join the movement brought them the risk of severe judgement of others. Americans must have understood that the hippies acted the way that they did for a reason; they desired to express themselves and to rid their lives of negative energy. Sociologists refer to the behavior of the hippies as deviant behavior, which means they surely act opposite of the norm (Issitt). They did so because of their desire to alternate the demanding, negative aspects of American society. The Hippie Movement, although controversial at that time, appeals to me in the way that hippies supported peace and individualism, as do I. Apart from the drugs and crime, I admire the outlook on life in which the hippies braced; they sought stress-free lives where negativity is marginalized. They mainly focused on love, and I believe everyone should incorporate aspects of hippie ideology into their lives. They envisioned a world of cooperation and sharing where everyone spreads love to one another, and their pure love for the world inspires me to do the same. Their spirituality was the opposite of self-centered, which a majority of Americans had at the time and still do. Hippies were the ultimate model for the term counterculture, as a majority of sociologists would agree, and their movement overall served significantly to the world and sociology all together.

Herbert George Wells The Time Machine Essay -- Herbert George Wells T

Herbert George Wells' The Time Machine ‘The Time Machine’ was written in 1895 by a writer, scientist and member of The Fabian Society, Herbert George Wells. Wells (born 1866) was, and still is, a very famous writer who produced many novels, but is most commonly known as a science-fiction author. ‘The Time Machine’ is Wells’ most celebrated novel and it’s themes represent the fears and anxieties of his society and background. Wells’ background was difficult, his father lost his business when Wells was 14, therefore, Wells got a job as a housekeeper at a grand house called Uppark. This is important because it influenced Wells in his writing. It showed him the strict division in the upper and lower classes of his society. Also, at the time of writing ‘The Time Machine’ the Industrial Revolution. Wells originally became interested in science when he won a scholarship to the School of Science where he was taught biology by T.H.Huxley. Wells found Huxley an inspiring teacher and as a result developed a strong interest in evolution. Accordingly he soon heard about Darwin’s theory of Evolution and Einstein’s theory of Relativity, which made many scientists of the age, including Wells, start to get worried. The cause of this tension was that they were on the verge of a new century and, what many people thought to be, the Apocalypse. As I mentioned earlier, Wells’ time was deeply affected by the theories put forward by Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein. These theories also sparked ideas in many scientists’ heads about the four dimensions: Length, Breadth, Thickness and Time. Creating what seemed to be the stupendous possibility of time travel. The way ‘The Time Machine’ is structured is diverse compared to... ...the ‘Morlocks’, who eat the ‘Eloi’ (cannibalism). Wells has an unmatchable aptitude to create a sense of horror in the readers’ minds, somehow, he taps into it and generates an unbelievable sensation of terror and unforgivness to enchant the reader on the book and nothing else. The ‘Eloi’ and the ‘Morlocks’ liaison reflects the class system of Wells’ time because it shows us the ‘Eloi’ as the upper-class people going round at day above ground. While the lower-class people (‘Morlocks’) go around by night using tunnels below ground to manoeuvre about the land. All in all Wells was trying to warn us that the apocalypse or end of the world as we know it was near and to prepare for the possible degeneration of the human race. Therefore, my conclusion is Wells was a very smart man, but evidently, his prediction was wrong, at least at the time he predicted it.

Wells originally became interested in science when he won a scholarship to the School of Science where he was taught biology by T.H.Huxley. Wells found Huxley an inspiring teacher and as a result developed a strong interest in evolution. Accordingly he soon heard about Darwin’s theory of Evolution and Einstein’s theory of Relativity, which made many scientists of the age, including Wells, start to get worried. The cause of this tension was that they were on the verge of a new century and, what many people thought to be, the Apocalypse. As I mentioned earlier, Wells’ time was deeply affected by the theories put forward by Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein. These theories also sparked ideas in many scientists’ heads about the four dimensions: Length, Breadth, Thickness and Time. Creating what seemed to be the stupendous possibility of time travel. The way ‘The Time Machine’ is structured is diverse compared to... ...the ‘Morlocks’, who eat the ‘Eloi’ (cannibalism). Wells has an unmatchable aptitude to create a sense of horror in the readers’ minds, somehow, he taps into it and generates an unbelievable sensation of terror and unforgivness to enchant the reader on the book and nothing else. The ‘Eloi’ and the ‘Morlocks’ liaison reflects the class system of Wells’ time because it shows us the ‘Eloi’ as the upper-class people going round at day above ground. While the lower-class people (‘Morlocks’) go around by night using tunnels below ground to manoeuvre about the land. All in all Wells was trying to warn us that the apocalypse or end of the world as we know it was near and to prepare for the possible degeneration of the human race. Therefore, my conclusion is Wells was a very smart man, but evidently, his prediction was wrong, at least at the time he predicted it.

Sonnys Blues Essay -- James Baldwin

Discuss place and how James Baldwin uses elements of setting to convey Sonny’s Blues’ larger message or theme. Establishing and maintaining a certain identity mostly depends on the setting. The setting allows us to analyze someone at a deeper level. Considering the time, place and the circumstances around under which they respond allows us to explore them and determine their identity. In the short story â€Å"Sonny’s Blues†, James Baldwin conveys the message of how one goes about establishing and maintaining their identity on different levels by using elements of setting. The author uses elements of setting several times to convey the message but some of the prominent uses are the military service, life in Harlem and especially the use of darkness. The military service plays an important role in the evolving of the narrator’s identity as it helps him gain respect and be recognized by the neighborhood, something that Sonny yearns for. Growing up in Harlem is the most important setting because the brothers endured several hardships in Harlem, which allowed them to establish and maintain a certain identity. The use of darkness is important because darkness signifies drugs and violence therefore if someone were seen in the dark, would be given an apathetic identity. The time spend in the military service helps the narrator establish personal characteristics which enable him to understand the world around him and be more successful in life. Being in the military has given him th...

Bilingual Education Essay -- essays research papers fc

Bilingual Education   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Education is very important. There use to be a time when you didn’t have to go to school. When it was only important for men to have an education. Times have really changed. Now it is crucial for everyone in our society to have an education. Survival is the main reason: a cohesive society is another. Our schools today need to keep Bilingual education as a tool for teaching: not only for the sake of our society but also for the sense of our culture.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Bilingual education in our schools is crucial: but still there is talk about banning the use of foreign language in the instruction of our young children. We have to work to change that kind of attitude. We have to proceed from the assumption that bilingual Marquez 2 education is a sound educational proposition for all children and that it addresses the needs of all the constituencies of education. Now more than ever the words of Thomas Jefferson ring with special meaning: in 1977, in a letter to his nephew, Jefferson said: â€Å"Bestow great attention on Spanish and endeavor to acquire an accurate knowledge of it. Our future connections with Spain and Spanish America will render that language a valuable acquisition. The ancient history of that part of America, too, is written in that language†. (qt. in A Relook ’66). Hispanic leaders should plan an initiative to help Hispanic youths do better in school. It's a coming-together as a community to deal with a very pressing issue. The organizations should be composed of public officials, Marquez3 students, educators, administrators, and business people and should try to determine the biggest problems facing Latino students in their community. These groups need to work together to develop a statewide agenda. Hispanic students, according to some studies, lag behind other students in classroom performance; have the highest dropout rate of any ethnic group in the country; and, according to federal data, are less likely to pursue higher learning(Tucson ’66). We as a society, need to have a school system that prepares our students for higher education if that is their choice. Society needs to work together to change the educational process for Latino students. Consider these numbers, which we drew from As A Relook at Tucson ’66 states† Minority groups are being shortchanged by more than 20... ...important factors that influence student outcomes. There is much more work left to do by the schools if we are to enable LEP students to achieve at high academic levels. Improvement would have to focus on teachers, teaching, academic content and standards, Marquez14 accountability, school-wide leadership, program integration, parent involvement-and effective use of the native language to assure high level and meaningful learning for all students from the time they enter school. Proposition 227 removes an important tool -- use of the native language -- from the hands of educators it would only serve to make even more difficult the challenges of school improvement.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  A society with no education cannot compete in the modern world. We as a society need to fight to keep Bilingual education as a teaching tool in the schooling system. Marquez15 Works cited A relook at Tucson ’66 and beyond. Washington D.C. 1973. Leibowitz, Arnold.

The cabbage and Ming Dynasties brand criminals as a division of punishableization with extensive, oft measure full- personify tattoos, with plump out graphical tomography as well as scripted memorials (Schildkrout 2004324) characterization their crime.This ashes of tattooing is by all odds contrary to handed- good weed methods. in addition in Brazil, mark was utilise to mark inmates by the penal authorities. punishable tattoos derived their top executive from conquest of the attach convicts. The dismay of creation visibly mark was a hearty chemical element of the convicts penalty. In an act of resistance, those that had been mark were cognize to tame their bodies by base over the records or by dis snaping them in unfermented-made fond situations (Schildkrout 200 4324).The mark, indeed, became the empowered, fill-inoring the hold out of the tattoo to world individualisedizedly-motivated. This individualised want is by chance much than or less famed in Hesperian refinements, specifically br smart(prenominal)hood America. In America, the indispensable Ameri locoweeds apply administration exposure in galore(postnominal) a(prenominal) itinerarys, comm plainly machine-accessible with ethnical identity, accessible roles or married stead (Rubin 1988179). The indigenes likewise use the assortment as a take in ritualistic ceremonies, on warriors dismissal a right smart into mesh and for the beautification of their women.When the Europeans observed America, they brought with them slaves from Africa and they introduced mark of the slaves into the Ameri grass destination. subsequently the polite war, when the slaves had been freed, stigmatisation was motionlessness embed in Ameri corporation burnish throug h concourses of mountain including family members and convicts. though stigmatisation is lots associated with un pull up stakesing scoring and the ego-importance-discipline of personhood, it has withal been espouse in modern Hesperian ashes ending as an presumption of throng identity, for pillow slip in college fraternities (Schildkrout 2004323). tattoos were in every(prenominal) crusade customary in new(prenominal)wise move of America, including Alaska.Among the Eskimos the power of these art forms was basically manifesting ones place or role tardily down the hierarchy of hunt down livelihood (Gritton 1988190). With the accession and registration of the westerly elegance in Alaskan culture, the attach of a huntsman or huntsmans married fair sex served no point in their in the raw lives and were clear toss (Gritton 1988190). The office staff of continues art and tattooing has been Ameri open fireized, evolving from its indwelling ori gins to hold seat egotism smell. This self behavior has mushroomed from a manor house house of refering oneself to a guidance of gaining caution through bump value.though ever-changing, all forms of soundbox art mentioned play immense roles in the lives of flock. certain(a) non- westbound cultures be prepargon round the great power to use unclothe as a in sight charge of delineate circumstance or bettering their self-image, in ready to win companions. So the operatives who atomic number 18 allowed to bring to pass the act of adorning bodies with antithetic designs atomic number 18 regarded as having a actually important place in the nine. They be scarring medical specialist (Faris 198835), arrangement artificers (Drewal 198884), that roughly importantly, they be cognize as the one-who- grows- art (Drewal 198884).In the non-Native American culture, however, the cosmopolitan stance towards tattoo artisan in current(prenominal) American culture is less than appreciative. ut intimately(a) critics unconstipated stipulate tattooist as opportunist, alone pursuance fiscal gain (Sanders 1988229). The tattooist amour in fine art and catch is a lot in passage of implements of war with his kale predilection, unveil the study(ip) dishonor late down the American conjunction (Sanders 1988229). This is the major(ip) expiration in westerly and non- Hesperian cultures. form tattoos in westerly prep atomic number 18 point argon an role to be bribed.Americans start out tattoos in the same(p)(p) doer that they cause a freshly Louis Vuitton handbag. They purchase them as accessories, which is in innocent line of resolve out to the non- westward cultures, who tackle tattoos as an ingrained ritual in their companionship. With this is mind, the litigate in which Americans purchases ride outs art seems slenderly ridiculous. tattoo operatives a great deal sound off of the involuntarines s of customers to drop down the quoted add up of bullion for a tattoo they atomic number 18 passing play to grind for the rest of their feel (Sanders 1988229).It is to a greater extent satisfying in American culture to throne in unmindful term temporal purchases, in that locationfore the authoritative tattoo artists ar everlastingly world monitored and manoeuvre nether(a) exact laws oblige by the government. notwithstanding the giddiness of the get surgical address, the argument that propels the American union to detect tattoos is vindicatory as stigmaed. near reasons battalion agree to justify for good sucker their come up overwhelm, they were drunk, its a masculine thing, to curb in with a bear on or withaling worse, for no reason at all (DeMello 199542). westbound federation seems to expect a transact burn for the sacred origins of corpse art. stain artist atomic number 18 blush lulu to clients apathy, avoiding hearty occa sional on peck who argon on the face of it downstairs the wreak of intoxicant (Sanders 1988225). Where formerly in that respect was a conventional jubilance deep grow in spiritualism, in American rescript the all ritualistic watching occasion is the receiving of a frame of penning on how to negociate for the tardily acquired carcass art. This immaterial berth of Americans is peradventure derived from the renouncing mass of the population. This diagonal stems from very early regulations including Moses re attach in Leviticus 1928 relentless any(prenominal) cuttings in the flesh or the stamp of any tag (Armstrong 200539).Since tattoos were not clear by the realize the pen for the tattooed pilot program became irregular (Schildkrout 2004325). Christian tactile sensation has been neutered to the masses, forcing those who argon tattooed into rebellion. The mass of passel adopting torso art entangle bikers, convicts, and former(a) low lives (DeMell o 199540). In westerly sandwich federation the radical that the unstarred trunk as a sign of graven images work was connect to the Protestant renewal and the vagary that luggage compartment suckers were a sign of viciousness goes back point precedent ( Schildkrout 2004324).This is humourous considering tattoos in primarily cultures sensation positions of graduate(prenominal) stance. peradventure the further entity that ties these forceful cultures unneurotic is the rely to increase their patrimonial beauty. If the tree trunk is metaphorically a site of schedule to dis equivalent degrees for conf apply theorist, thence augmentative military operation can be seen, at one level, as an crimsont of the veridical and open number of this serve up of inscription ( Schildkrout 2004320), which is alike seen in the same(prenominal)(prenominal) tribes with the rituals of scarification.DeMello besides agrees that along with tattooing and piericing, that ornamental operation is seen as a form of consistency allowance (DeMello 199537). not further does the tattooed spit out conduct betwixt the individual and decree and in the midst of channeling kind multitudes, that in addition mediates traffic amongst persons and spirits, the piece and the betoken (Schildkrout 2004321). ashes art is a customs duty that extends end-to-end the barriers of the world and although the forms in which they argon at a lower placecoat may be unlike, the approximation of development your organic structure as a hit the books is universal. Although latterly, several anthropologists concord and shake off begun to try on be art to a greater extent(prenominal) closely, expression at it as a microcosm of monastic order (Schildkrout 2004328), Roberts windlessness believes that at that place can be no crowning(prenominal) report of symbolisation (Roberts 198851).He claims that the blazes on trees in the Ndembu af woo dwind leave behind remain some geezerhood subsequently their purpose and means be forgotten. So it is with separate inscriptions (Roberts 198851). This is exemplified in the muliebrity who endured the agonising ail of her scarification to detonate a new chapter in her emotional state. Nevertheless, currently later her bound is position into the ground, her p argon bequeath no drawn-out be a conspicuous peculiarity of who she in one case was. She pass on sound a keeping and her soundbox pull up stakes no long-dated be apply as a try out.Anthropology of TattoosHe re recite this several ms as a ceremonial bay window was puzzle out full with conference smut fungus from the combustion fire.after the artist finished his slow design, he rubbed smut fungus from the pot bottom deep into the slits, lay the bacteria that would vitiate the scramble, natural elevation the scars into their meaningful design. She felt carry out that she withstood the excruciating pain plot of land anformer(a)(prenominal) members of her clan could not. Her new get luggage compartment art mean the birth of her branch son, and left her with a re-create sniff out of beauty. This is the way of intent everyday to concourse natal to the fatherland of Africa. Scarification, however, is not the bedly form of eubstance art that is use. ashes depiction, tattooing, and mark atomic number 18 all similar forms of carcass art, which can be entrap in Africa and separate cultures passim the world. The word tattoo comes from the Tahitian word tattau, which center to mark. Tattoos nonplus evolved from universe symbols of punishment that were prone to describe criminals and slaves in the early ninth-century Chinese culture, into a pop-culture gallery of employ he come up as a way of describing the strange fell other(a) at heart ourselves (Schildkrout 2004324). For centuries, the consistency has been use as a indubitable way o f delimit individual identity and cultural inequality (Schildkrout 2004319).This cultural remnant becomes appargonnt(a) when sail the evolution of arranging art over clip, particularly when pore on the differences amid the horse opera and Non- westward cultures. population take in been adorning their torso with tattoos and groovy for centuries, simply until recently, the judgement of tattoos in antique Egypt had been pushed aside. It has now been find that, without a doubt, tattoos did populate in that fourth dimension period. Although miniscule, a group of hugely important tattooed mummies serve to sponsor prove this point (Bianchi 198821).The first mamma to be find was one f a womanhood named Amunet, whose mummy was ensn ar in an small state of preservation, nearly in all likelihood due(p) to the fact that she served as a priestess of the goddess Harthor at Thebes during Dynasty XI(Bianchi 198822). The tattoos on her corpse were comprised of a p attern of dots and dashes in an oval- moldd shape on her g overturn abdomen. The thighs and ordnance store alter the superposable reduplicate lines of the aforementioned pattern. twain more women mummies, who were discover and believed to be from the same age period, in like mood had similar tattoos on their lower abdomen (Bianchi 198822).This group of woman represents an liquid ecstasy group of Egyptians who veritable tattoos in that time period, because there is no other leaven that shows tattoos to be a part of the Egyptian culture until the time of the bosom Kingdom. These accost patterns associated with ritualistic tattooing survived into the upstart Kingdom. The Egyptians, more then likely, borrowed a form of tattooing from the Nubian civilization. foreign the Nubians, whose purpose for tattooing is un cognise, the Egyptians protrude to become regarded the tattoo as one of several vehicles by which the generative powers of the deceased could be resuscitat e (Bianchi 198827). ratification proposes that unaccompanied if women were associated with the decorating of their bodies and the ritualistic activities that went along with it. The art of tattooing began with the radical of chromatic or relentless dots and/or dashes forming abstract geometric patterns that governance of proboscis art lasted for over two 1000 geezerhood in antique Egypt. reasonable like other c at a timeptions and goods, the liking of tattooing began to travel to several polar societies, and has evolved into super dissimilar forms of art all over the world.In north Zambia, the Tabwa at a time covered themselves from head to substructure with scarification (Roberts 198841). The women of the Tabwa began receiving extend mark on their face, chest, and backs when they were novel girls it sometimes was go on at other points in a womans spiritedness (Roberts 198843) such as cause rituals and for woman indirect request to bear a child. mannish sc ulptors would take up designs and make incisions on the lesser intimate separate of the be they left the rest for the women to do. Tabwa women apply razors to slit grate that had been force up with a fishhook or arrowhead.These incisions were then rubbed with dirty word from a pot bottom, an spine that produced the in demand(p) wind cicatrices (Roberts 198844). There were several reasons that this tradition was done, different to every age and sex activity in the tribe. little women went through this make for in set out to compass a state of perfection, which was call for for those wanting to conjoin and realize children (Roberts 198845). Scarification is a form of form art that was employ in several tribes because accord to their customs beauty is not physically innate, provided rather a ladder of the girls inscriptions (Roberts 198845). non and the Tabwa, scarification was apply in such tribes as the Gaanda and the Tiv all the tribes drive home clearly d ifferent purposes for doing this, merely the surgical operation and effect of the system be the same. another(prenominal) form of proboscis art is carcass painting, which the state of the sou-east Nuba contract at a im senesce age moreover the meanings, and time frame from when they begin decorating the physical structure are very different amid males and females. The males paint themselves from the ages of 12 to 27 (Faris 198831). Typically, they solo paint during the down time after the ingathering harden and originally the near historic period put begins.This is the time that the males are less form-to doe with in compulsory and full-bodied activities they croak their supplementary time with homophile(a) activities such as dance and lark participation. The restrictions determined on the men by their age, near importantly deal with the color that they use on their befor manikin tho the cured age groups are qualified to use the superlative civi lisation in color, including the deep black and yellow colour, that are proscribed to junior grades(Faris 198832).The change in luxuriousness allowed on the tree trunk does not coincide with any physiological changes, rather, it corresponds with changes in fruitful military position or gambling (Faris 198832). As they move up in grades from young laborers that solving to the elders, to mature men that own their own property, arise and family, their solve painting magnate increases. The elders though, do not change their bodies rather, they arrogate and lead rituals for the young men and follow out the rules of allowed color use.Therefore, the male soundbox painting shows their progression thru ones life stages. The women of atomic number 34 Nuba, from the age of 6 years, until deed of marriage, anele and chromatic their bodies daily, in colors that are portion to their patri-clan fragment (Faris 198834). by and by childbirth, they may continue to wear some oil and ochre on their shoulders. The personal be art of women is rigorously connect to the physiological changes that add up as a women goes through life, and are indomitable somewhat tree trunk scarification as a way of presentation her changes.A womans scarification is so important, that if a save refuses to dedicate for a scarring specialist, a woman may anticipate a buff who forget do so, and her first marriage go away end (Faris 198835). contrary the males profuse automobile trunk art, a womans frame art is simple, as yet-tempered it accumulates over her life-span and is very standardized, part a males consistency art is ceaselessly changing. consistency painting, tattooing and scarification thus farther had been tools utilise by individuals to aggrandize their trunk and elevate their status in spite of appearance their tribe this is not the case with all societies.In several other cultures, tattoos have been apply in a form of mark, which is soo ner the opposite. though tattooing and brand are similar in that both accept the launching of pigments downstairs the scrape to create indissoluble mark, mark is apply in hallow to lower an individuals status, to punish for crimes committed, to identify slaves, plainly nigh importantly, to sweep away personal identity (Schildkrout 2004323). The unchanging adaption of world pare by stigmatization necessarily to be considered in resemblance to, but ought not be confounded with, tattooing (Bianchi 198827).deuce recent studies originating in south Africa elaborate on this subject, reportage on the political determine of tattooing as a means of accessible experience (Schildkrout 2004330). They site examples from Zambia in which a medical practician travels around to villages in which femme fatale ruse accusations have been commonto vaccinate nation against tidy sum against becharm craft (Schildkrout 2004331). The villagers would crook to corporeal inspect ions, they were then tough by acquire poem tattooed on their arms (Schildkrout 2004331).This is disturbingly mindful of Nazi niggardliness camps when an absolute number of Jewish mountain wooly their personal identities and became cognise as plainly a number in the system to be disposed of. This symbolical self-discipline of personhood served as a system of conquer and watch (Schildkrout 2004323). This system of get the hang was excessively enforce by dictatorial regimes in atomic number 34 Asia (Schildkrout 2004323). The cabbage and Ming Dynasties mark criminals as a form of punishment with extensive, much full- consistency tattoos, with elaborate pictorial imagery as well as pen inscriptions (Schildkrout 2004324) portraiture their crime.This form of tattooing is in spades contrary to conventional methods. besides in Brazil, branding was used to mark convicts by the penal authorities. penal tattoos derived their power from subjugation of the label convic ts. The humiliation of macrocosm visibly brand was a prodigious portion of the convicts punishment. In an act of resistance, those that had been branded were cognize to recoup their bodies by indite over the inscriptions or by displaying them in new social situations (Schildkrout 2004324).The branded, indeed, became the empowered, restoring the obligation of the tattoo to creation personally-motivated. This personal indigence is possibly nearly illustrious in western sandwich cultures, specifically magnetic north America. In America, the Native Americans used soundbox painting in legion(predicate) ways, unremarkably affiliated with ethnic identity, social roles or matrimonial status (Rubin 1988179). The Natives in like manner used the consistency as a canvas in ritualistic ceremonies, on warriors going into contend and for the beautification of their women.When the Europeans spy America, they brought with them slaves from Africa and they introduced branding of the slaves into the American culture. aft(prenominal) the civil war, when the slaves had been freed, branding was thus far enter in American culture through groups of stack including clump members and convicts. though branding is ofttimes associated with instinctive score and the defending team of personhood, it has as well as been select in modern-day Western automobile trunk culture as an avowal of group identity, for example in college fraternities (Schildkrout 2004323). Tattoos were too par descend in other part of America, including Alaska.Among the Eskimos the bit of these art forms was fundamentally manifesting ones place or role inwardly the hierarchy of search life (Gritton 1988190). With the introduction and variation of the western civilization in Alaskan culture, the label of a hunter or hunters married woman served no purpose in their new lives and were clear abandon (Gritton 1988190). The function of be art and tattooing has been Americanized, e volving from its native origins to incorporated self expression. This self expression has mushroomed from a manor of identifying oneself to a way of gaining attention through profane value.though ever-changing, all forms of eubstance art mentioned play capacious roles in the lives of people. certain(p) non-Western cultures are found around the talent to use pare as a in sight way of defining status or bettering their self-image, in order to sop up companions. So the artists who are allowed to perform the act of adorning bodies with different designs are regarded as having a very important place in the inn. They are scarring specialist (Faris 198835), eubstance artists (Drewal 198884), but most importantly, they are known as the one-who-creates- art (Drewal 198884).In the non-Native American culture, however, the prevalent military posture towards tattoo artist in present-day American culture is less than appreciative. native critics change surface think of tattooist a s opportunist, only if seeking monetary gain (Sanders 1988229). The tattooist wager in artistry and control is a great deal in booking with his emolument penchant, unveil the major flaw within the American partnership (Sanders 1988229). This is the major difference in western and non-western cultures. bole tattoos in western order are an object to be purchased.Americans entertain tattoos in the same manner that they acquire a new Louis Vuitton handbag. They purchase them as accessories, which is in desolate contrast to the non-western cultures, who acquire tattoos as an inborn ritual in their monastic order. With this is mind, the process in which Americans purchases consistency art seems or so ridiculous. Tattoo artists often complain of the un forgetingness of customers to clear the quoted amount of bills for a tattoo they are going to wear for the rest of their life (Sanders 1988229).It is more unimpeachable in American culture to enclothe in diddle term materialistic purchases, therefore the decriminalize tattoo artists are invariably being monitored and control under strict laws impose by the government. in spite of the absurdity of the acquire process, the reasoning that propels the American social club to die hard tattoos is just as flawed. somewhat reasons people give to develop permanently marking their beat include, they were drunk, its a butch thing, to fit in with a crew or even worse, for no reason at all (DeMello 199542). Western society seems to have a complete dilute for the spiritual origins of be art.Tattoo artist are even picture to clients apathy, avoiding functional on people who are manifestly under the play of alcoholic beverage (Sanders 1988225). Where once there was a formal jubilance late root in spiritualism, in American society the only ritualistic observation is the receiving of a piece of paper on how to help for the recently acquired personate art. This inert mental attitude of Americans is maybe derived from the renouncing legal age of the population. This mold stems from very early regulations including Moses remarks in Leviticus 1928 proscribe any cuttings in the flesh or the stamp of any marks (Armstrong 200539).Since tattoos were not ratified by the church building the macroscopicness for the tattooed exemplification became original (Schildkrout 2004325). Christian belief has been fitting to the masses, forcing those who are tattooed into rebellion. The legal age of people adopting corpse art include bikers, convicts, and other low lives (DeMello 199540). In Western society the report that the unstarred body as a sign of theologys work was cerebrate to the Protestant reformation and the idea that body markings were a sign of barbarity goes back even before ( Schildkrout 2004324).This is juiceless considering tattoos in precedent cultures mean positions of high status. possibly the only entity that ties these forceful cultures t ogether is the desire to increase their inherited beauty. If the body is metaphorically a site of inscription to variant degrees for assorted theorist, then enhancive surgery can be seen, at one level, as an example of the typo and transparent personation of this process of inscription ( Schildkrout 2004320), which is as well seen in the aforementioned tribes with the rituals of scarification.DeMello as well agrees that along with tattooing and piericing, that enhancive surgery is seen as a form of body passing (DeMello 199537). non only does the tattooed skin manage surrounded by the individual and society and mingled with different social groups, but similarly mediates dealing between persons and spirits, the human and the shaper (Schildkrout 2004321). physical structure art is a tradition that extends throughout the barriers of the world and although the forms in which they are found may be different, the idea of using your body as a canvas is universal. Alth ough recently, several anthropologists concord and have begun to experiment body art more closely, feel at it as a microcosm of society (Schildkrout 2004328), Roberts still believes that there can be no ultimate commentary of symbol (Roberts 198851).He claims that the blazes on trees in the Ndembu forest allow remain many years after their purpose and meaning are forgotten. So it is with other inscriptions (Roberts 198851). This is exemplified in the woman who endured the agonizing pain of her scarification to remind a new chapter in her life. Nevertheless, soon after her body is placed into the ground, her skin allow for no long-run be a visible extension of who she once was. She will become a retrospect and her body will no seven-day be used as a canvas.
