    It’s one of the greatest debates right now in modern time sports. Who is the greatest basketball player ever? Is it His Airness, or is it King James? The debate on whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the greatest basketball player ever is a prevalent topic in sports news daily. Many people believe that LeBron James is the greatest basketball player to be currently playing and also the greatest player to ever have played in the NBA. My theory, however, is that rather than LeBron James, the greatest basketball player to ever have played the game is Michael Jordan. Although I agree with the claim that LeBron James is the best current player in the NBA, I believe that he is nowhere near being considered better than Michael Jordan.

    The Statue of a kouros and the Portrait statue of a boy both depict similar subjects, however are greatly different in how they accomplish this task. Through detail, or lack there of, the Greeks and Romans are able to display a certain value they have in its members. These two statues were made about 500 years apart and approach the sculpting process quit differently. The Greek statue seems to use geometric exaggerated lines to form the body while the Romans use a more realistic approach and sculpt the body with a more rounded finish. Statue of a kouros, from about 590 B.C and Portrait of a boy, from about the first century, do not share any great technical aspects and are basically nothing alike.

    Few professional basketball athletes’ names are recognizable to the avid, diehard basketball fans and the uninterested layman alike. One of the first, if not the first, athlete to pop up in anyone’s head is the legendary Michael Jordan.

    I was immediately impressed by the landscape of the Heritage center. On the grounds there were various monument that were dedicated to people or events that were important to the Chickasaw’s history. One of the first things that you can see is a plaque marking a time capsule that contain photos, poems, genealogy records, letters to future generations, and pieces of art. This made me think about how important preserving history is to the Chickasaw’s. Another monument was a replica of the leaning pole. I was excited to see it and I was able to recall the legend behind it. The third monument was an eternal flame. This was made to be a representation of a sacred flame that was lit annually by the Chickasaw ancestors to celebrate the green corn ceremony.

    History has a strange way of coming back around when it comes to human civilization. It has been said repeatedly that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. However, just because there is a potential for danger in the future, this does not mean that humanity must ignore what once was. History is normally remembered through what is known as a memorial. When a memorial is put into a physical representation, it is then known as a monument.The need to memorialize events or people is complex; in some cases, monuments honor moments of great achievement, while in other cases, monuments pay homage to deep sacrifice. A monument's size, location, and materials are all considerations in planning and creating a memorial to the past. Examples of such feats are the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and even Mount Rushmore. For the latter of the

    According to TheGuardian, a statue of Apollo was found somewhere deep in the sea. A rare bronze statue of the Greek god Apollo was discovered this week in the Gaza strip after being lost for centuries" (pg, 1) It's significance is uncanny because who knows how old the statue really is. We could give it an approximate, perhaps centuries, but nothing precise. It was found by a Palestinian fisherman who said it was very difficult getting it up ashore. A local Palestinian fisherman, Joudat Ghrab, says he discovered the bronze statue on the seabed last year but was unaware of its significance. It took him and his family four hours to drag the statue ashore" (pg, 2). It's astonishing that they found such a masterpiece, simply mind blowing. Oddly

Shortly after the immigrants on the boats first spotted the land of their new homes, they came into the Hudson river to see this grand statue, and to most people it wasn’t just some lady who was standing in the middle of a river, it was the lady who was going to free them or help them from their inadequate lives.
