Six Hours of Television In looking at modern television programming there are hundreds of shows to choose from. Picking six hours of television to analyze from the prospective of an anthropologist is by no means easy. It is easy however, to talk about what our nation looks like to others who have never been here. Everyone is gorgeous, lives happily, and overcomes all problems, but more on that later. Four hours of the programming I chose is perhaps the most popular programming this year, consistently

Plato was a philosopher in Classical Greece; he was fighting for freedom and education. Malcolm X was an African-American Muslim who was fighting for human rights.

Education is a very useful thing that can open our eyes to many things, and
Basketball is supposed to be a team sport. A team can constant of ten or twelve players but only five can compete at a team. Five players on the court working together to win. Teammates are supposed to have their teammates back. Fight to the very end for their team to get a win. This is not always true. Players have their own way of doing things. They think a team should be like this or that, but they are players who do the right things for the team. I have experienced this from my team. My teammates

Alice was a broken woman by the time she committed suicide. Over the course of her life, she had freedom after freedom, hope after hope, ripped away from her, culminating with Rufus taking away her last remaining reason to stay.

What once was a country driven by the allure of the American Dream per hard work is now void, replaced by the free loading lifestyle adopted by many today. And while some may find a correlation of sports participation trophies and government handouts a stretch, I believe just the opposite. Such awards given out at such an early age at an alarming rate is detrimental to the once great American spirit. While these trophies can provide a sense of accomplishment through he comraderie

Rain poured down onto the soaked sidewalks as flashes of lightning danced across the dark, dreary sky. Greg Ridley sought refuge from the rain in an abandoned tenement. The thunder rumbled in the background as his father’s long lecture replayed in his mind. Entering the closest room across the hall, the thirteen year old boy relaxed on a tattered, creaky couch near the window and fixated on the blinking neon lights of the bodega. A scraping noise diverted his attention and to his surprise, a mysterious
It is not very often that someone like Louie Zamperini comes around. He had a rare combination of character traits that made him very special. He was intelligent, strong, and forgiving. There is very few people who can say they know someone like this. He comes from a generation that did what they had to do survive through the war. Everyone was aiding the war, weather it was fighting, being a nurse, or making machines. Most people would think “How can one person stand out from the huge crowd?”

People often do not appreciate what they have, and they feel like they deserve better, and they complain instead of making the best of what they have. It is not necessary to be rich to enjoy life. Often those who have everything tend to live miserably. People can become too attached to money to the point that they forget about enjoying life and caring for their
