The Sydney production, directed by Liv Ullmann, was universally praised, and critics particularly singled out Blanchett’s performance as revelatory and nearly definitive. With Ullmann’s…

make it difficult to eat healthy. How I will come across this barrier is by pre-packing my lunch at home before I go to work. By doing this, I know that I am getting a protein and carb packed lunch that my body craves after lifting stuff all day at Lowe’s. Also, because I usually lift when I get off of work, I need to overload on carbohydrates and proteins so I have proper energy when that time comes. A second barrier I come across is what my mom cooks for me. Sometimes she cooks foods that…
The roles that individuals serve in a society are not randomly ascribed, but rather achieved through social cultivation. Individuals learn these roles through a process called socialization. According to Conley, specifically Craig Calhoun, “individuals internalize values, beliefs, and norms” (Conley 2013:118) so that they can be efficient members of society. Interactions with others over a period of time allow people to establish and conform to socially constructed gender labels: male or female.…

It has opened my eyes to many of my good and bad waste practices and how they depend on my location. Few of the common things that I threw away were paper towels, paper plates, water bottles at one point, and the packaging for my frozen meals. When addressing the paper products, I feel that I did not like more often difficult to being at my apartment where I did not have a dishwasher as I have…

Camouflage has become a common and taxonomically widespread adaptation that numerous prey species have adopted to reduce the likelihood of being either detected or recognized by predators. The theory of Natural Selection as put forth by Charles Darwin suggests that "those individuals who possess superior physical, behavioral, or other…
Football is not a big sport in Los Angeles even since the Los Angeles Rams left for St. Louis in 1995. For me football has been my passion. I watched it, played it and even studied it. My father played in high school and I wanted to do the same. I was so excited when I made the team on my freshman year. I was happy that I got to be the free safety of the team. I felt important knowing I was the last line of defense. It got better when I was promoted to varsity in the middle of my sophomore…
