Teaching a choir is like having a large family be in a room together making beautiful sounds in harmony. Marie Dymit teaches both the choirs at South campus and one at North campus: Mariners, Choraliers and Bel Canto. Her students in Mariners call her Mama Dym Dym and her choirs treat each other as family. She can tell that some of the students like each other more than others, but that is how a family works.…
I recall reading an article about trigger words a couple of months ago. The article was titled Killing the Conversation in College Classrooms. In in this article they discussed trigger words and their effects on academic discussions in the classroom. They argued that professors are watering down their lectures so not to offend anyone and students are avoiding upsetting discussions because they are unable to handle the stresses that go along with the controversial topics. This article was obviously written from a leftist position because they failed to realize the actual problems. I cannot say I have ever met a student that is so triggered or upset by the use of words that they cannot engage in conversation about their meaning. Also, have you ever heard of a professor being afraid to share his opinions for fear of offending someone? I have sat through too many political rants to know that that argument is simply not true. In reality, the people who end the conversations in classrooms always seem to be the ones who preach open mindedness. These “progressives” hear an opposing opinion and employ what has now become a common tactic today, name calling. Oh, if he thinks that way he must be a racist,…

Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin is a movie set in the 1930s, during the Great Depression era. The movie starred Charlie Chaplin as the famous Little Tramp and his life’s journey during this era. From factory worker under proletarian control to convict to entertainer at a restaurant, Chaplin had depicted the life of millions of people during the Great Depression as he struggles with overwhelming obstacles. With the help of costar Paulette Goddard as the Gamin, they ultimately proved the hardship of unemployment, poverty and hunger that millions of people had actually endured years ago in America. Chaplin did a very well job conveying a message with his acting skills but it was the silence in which this movie brought that captured the essence of what everything was about.…

My topic under discussion is ‘Alcohol Abuse among Teenagers’. The study focuses mainly on the factors that influence the abuse of alcohol among teenagers and the negative effects associated with this problem. This topic has sparked my interest because of statistics showing that approximately seventy percent (70%) of teenagers drink alcohol and sixty percent (60%) of all teen deaths in car accidents are alcohol-related in the United States. This problem can also be seen in the Caribbean and, in recent years, seems to be getting worse.…
My name is Christina Silvera. The title of my speech is “Bullying: A curse or a blessing?”. Throughout the past few weeks majority of my time has been used to research the effects of bullying. Three sources which aided me are: the websites stopbullying.gov and an article entitled, “Back from being bullied” written by Madeleine McCarty from the Upstart Magazine.

So this article proves to be more than credible. A website is a reliable medium as information is related to current events and the time of each post is available. It allows for visitors fast and easy access. Also it is the most popular mass media across the world.…
