For a while now both Hollywood and K-pop have grasped the attention of a worldwide audience. With the upcoming elections, we see a level of sophistication and a level of competition emerging. We also see different political ideologies and the development of the voters' perspectives during the elections. During this year’s elections, many things have taken place, but the proposal of two new bills suggested by the Education and Workforce Committee has caught the media’s attention most.
The proposal for the bill, offered by the Education and Workforce Committee and read by the majority and minority parties states, “to provide all schools an Art and Educational program funded by the Federal government,” and, “to decrease the amount of money that
H.R. 3099 was referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Please know I will keep your views in mind should further action be taken on this issue.

In the early 90’s a majority democratic Texas legislature debated on the equalizing school funds, but no plan was gained, mainly because it would require rising local and state taxes. Texas at the time having one of the nation’s highest taxes. The educational issue continued to face many special sessions in the Texas house, a new program was finally adopted that met the approval of the federal ruling. The new educational program shifted funding from local tax to state tax. While the program was
To get to this point, Massachusetts had to completely change its educational reform. To achieve a better outcome for the system, school investment had to be doubled. The current total expenditure in Arizona’s K-12 education is clearly not enough. If a real progress wants to be made, a larger amount of funding should be invested. Increasing the amount invested in Arizona’s K-12 education will allow the state government to
In order to implement this policy, responsibility will be bestowed upon the “Foundation School Program” and the Texas state Legislature (Grusendorf, 2015, pg.2). These two groups play the most vital role in changing and implementing the new “state formulas” (Grusendorf, 2015, pg.3). Both will work together in creating and agreeing to the new state formulas. We will review the formulas every year and decide if funding is truly being distributed with equity. Only if they are not then will both organizations have to re-write the formulas to improve upon them.
As America headed into the 1980s, two decades of social and political upheaval have left the nation rattled and the economy weakened. The Iran hostage crisis shook America's confidence and many looked for a new kind of leader to steer the country into the new decade. Ronald Reagan led America into a new era of prosperity leaving the soul-searching of the 60s and 70s behind. The nation was ready to enjoy itself and with plenty of new toys to play like VCRs and video games, Americans spent more time at home and soon something called cable TV would make it even harder to leave the living room. With the new innovation of the TV, one of the ideas for a channel was a marriage between music and television. This new idea for a channel devoted to something called music videos would end up revolutionizing and often scandalizing an industry that had no choice but to embrace the fact that music in the 1980s had to have a face with videos. By having these music videos, they would change the way we look at music and the way we look at the world. This cutting- edge idea was a new medium perfectly suited to a new generation and that idea was called, MTV. This leads to the question: How did MTV influence pop culture of the 1980’s? This topic is worthy of investigation because the coming of MTV has had a significant impact on the way people see pop culture. Before researching the topic, the writer had limited knowledge on MTV and only knew about the music itself. In the paper, the writer was
The K-pop fandom community is anImagined nation. It is formed through the consciousness of the members of the K-pop fandom community. As an imagined community, the K-pop fandom is limited. Its transcendence from physical geographical sphere to the virtual sphere creates a limited access for the K-pop fans. The social discourse existing within the K-pop fandom community acts as homogenizing agents that identify and creates the cultural identity of the K-pop fans. This cultural identity is authentic to the members of the K-pop fandom community for it is created from the shared experiences resulting to common significations exclusive to the K-pop fans. The authenticity of the identity categorizes the insider and limits the outsiders. Therefore
The Korean pop or K-pop industry over the last decade has experienced a major increase in popularity that has made it a billion dollar competition for foreign music industries. They are especially known for their extravagant music videos and visual aesthetics, which have attracted worldwide followings. K-pop companies are also infamous for being brutally strict on training and restrictions for their trainees and idols. They fixate on the business growth over the musical talent and content. The problem that stems from creativity and commerce overlapping in the Korean pop industry is the unethical treatment of its trainees along with the racialization and exploitation of idol groups in different global markets, due to the commanding force of the industry.
Many have thought the entertainment world should be separate from the world of politics. Some celebrities go on to be involved in politics, such as Ronald Reagan and Sonny Bono, but rarely does an entertainer command a large sphere of influence in the world of entertainment and politics simultaneously. While entertainers can move the masses, their voice is usually discarded among politicians. In addition to this, many have highlighted the negative influence of the entertainment industry, and particularly rock music, on American culture. Often, it is seen as a corrupting force that leads people astray. For many people, rock and roll seems to highlight all that is wrong with American popular culture. These critics fail to take note of
One of the members on the House education committee is Joe Saunders. He is a supporter of this bill and wants to see it passed this time during legislation. When he spoke about this in class you could tell how passionate he was, he values education and wants to see the state of Florida improve in that area for the younger generations. Also, CPALMS is in support of this policy; this is the source for the standards in Florida (Common Core State Standards).
According to the article from the Huffington Post, the students who are impacted greater from these budget cuts are students from lower income households. This is so heartbreaking, being that school may be the one place students are exposed to these types of creativity, hard work, dedication, and passion. Programs that are eliminated ignore a plethora of students’ talents and abilities. Defunding these programs is overlooked or overturned, however it is crucial to many students’, if not all students’, education.
At this point, measurements of success and accomplishments have gradually changed through different generations of K-pop; some were mentioned in the overall generation descriptions. The conditions of the eras in which the groups debuted differed from generation to generation and these differences prevent fair comparisons between old and new generation K-pop groups. K-pop’s rising popularity outside of Korea increased the importance of accomplishments based on youtube views, social media presence, international awards, western recognition, and album sales. To give an example of the increased value of
What are the roles of federal and state government when it comes to American education? The roles of education have evolved from historic liabilities to current liabilities. There are many laws and cases that have had an impact on American education that still has a strong influence on education today such as the debate between church and state, racial desegregation, and education finances. Other impacts as relevant are testing standards and special education programs that have arisen from influences of federal concerns. The purpose of this paper is to examine the historical and current roles that the federal and state government has on education. Other factors to include are individual cases
For the past 4-5 years I have listened to Korean pop music as my main source of music. Over this time, a lot of changes have happened in the Kpop community but the most outstanding change was how much more popular Korean music has become worldwide. Kpop has been around since the 90’s but has recently become much more popular globally with thanks to the internet and social media. Globalisation and its effects have been amplified extremely by the Internet which has facilitated communications between different groups of people on a global scale. Sites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have allowed Korean artists to reach a new, much larger audience and achieve global success.
On May 23, 2017, the president’s educational budget was publicly released. It gave the people of America a brutal outlook of what the future will hold for kids attending public education. Aside from the many million-dollar budget cuts, the new proposal would leave a record of 1.6 million students without an after-school program, most programs of which were centered around the arts. President Trump and the secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, shaped a finance-plan that would cut approximately $27 million from arts education programs (Langsam, 11). DeVos’s validation procedure sparked the controversial likelihood of there being support for bills, policies, and other legislation that would prove to be destructive to arts education. The Every Student Succeeds Act, or the ESSA, ensures that every child receives both a beneficial and versatile education. The ESSA not only guarantees the inclusion of challenging and progressive arts instruction for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, but it also assures that the arts is integrated within general scholastic subjects. If the country were to stray away from the policy in place, the ESSA, education for kids would be centered around privatizing schools or the creation of a voucher system. This in turn would impend the tools and funding needed to guarantee equity for arts education in America. With the massive financial cut in mind, arts companies and organizations should be required to aid schools in maintaining arts education in
