Subcultural post- Nick Traver

By: 1. The subculture that I am planning on studying is the swim team at KO. I have been part of the swim team at KO for two years, and it is different then any other team that I have been apart of. It is a tight knit community composed of a lot of characters.

2.  I am interested in studying this because it is a new and different subculture that I am a part of. I have been playing soccer for a long time, so when I started swimming I was surprised at how swimming was so complex. When I joined the swimming community I learned a lot about different types of suits, as well as learn about these people that I always thought were weird and had obnoxious egos, and I am interested at looking at this in more depth.

3. I am going to interview the captains of the team, as well as various swimmers on the team. I am going to observe the team at practice as well as at meets. I might also interview members of the girls team in addition to the guys team to see the contrast between teams.

Trix and NLMG

Connecting NLMG to Trix You been Trix'd By: Will One of my favorite meals is breakfast, and I particularly enjoy cereal. Cereal brands are often marketed through the means of entertaining animated characters in commercials. These adverts usually contain a protagonist and a distinct villain. The villain usually wishes to indulge in the coveted cereal but is then stopped by the protagonists. For example, within the Trix cereal franchise, the villain is a rabbit. The rabbit always attempts to obtain the cereal but then is inevitably stopped by a group of children who chant, "Trix are for kids". This pattern follows through all of the different iterations of the commercial. The rabbit despite his freewill to create different plans to obtain the cereal, his fate will always be to fail in his plans and be foiled by the children. In this advert, the rabbit is waiting outside, painting an image of the Trix cereal, he then is lured by the scent of the voluptuous ...

The Rice Crispy Macbeth Paradox

Image
In the novel Macbeth, Shakesphere takes the reader on a journey through Macbeth's corruption as a human being. The scene that catalyzes the corruption of Macbeth is most arguably the third scene in act one, where Macbeth is greeted by the three witches and is given his fortune as a future king. Without being directly told by the witches what he must do to become king, Macbeth begins to formulate the murder of King Duncan in his mind, which later on facilitates his own insanity. The witches act as a omniscient puppet master, that indirectly controls peoples fates. In the beginning, one of the witches says that when she asked a lady for nuts, the lady refused, so the witch decided to ruin her husband's life. The witch incited the woman's refusal and consequently gave her a fate of being a widow. If we want to put things in a much greater context, let's talk about quantum mechanics. Erwin Schrodinger devised a thought experiment where his cat is in a box with a small...
