In chapter 18, there are many different perspectives of freedom from different kinds of people during the 1900's to 1916's. The first group of people that had a view of freedom was the Mexican Americans. When they came to the United States because they knew that this is the land of freedom. There were many Mexican families that have come over to have a better life. One of those families is the Santella family, which was interviewed by Manuel Gamio, who was a sociologist. The Santella family lived in San Antonio and has lived there and who has owned many properties all over the place.

They finally have a perfect place to live in for the rest of their lives. (Foner,74-76)

“To the woman who wishes to have children, we must give these answers to the question when not to have them.”. This was an eloquent quote from Margaret Sanger that she delivered in her book, Women and the New Race. Margaret was a very prominent feminist and she believed that women should be educated by knowing they have the right to control what happens with their body. This person is considered, by Time Magazine, to be one of the most influential individuals of the 20th century, mostly due to her role sex education, birth control activism, and also for her writings pertaining to those issues. This is why Margaret Sanger was such an important individual. She changed course for women’s rights by advocating the legalization of the use of contraceptives

Internet nowadays is permeating every facet of our world and every generation. It allows the masses to wrest control of fame from traditional media, creating micro-celebrities with the click of a mouse or swipe of a finger. Influencer, as known as internet celebrity or Wang Hong in China, is a nascent term to describe those who gain huge influence and have built favorable reputation by means of social media. In the cyber world, netizens just cannot help discussing about internet celebrities. What they have worn, what they have said and even how they live are magnifying by their followers, in which many of internet celebrities translate their audience’s attention into profit.

It was viewed as the most innovative creation of the twenty-first century and became the fastest growing area of the media industry today. Full screen is right in the middle of an amazing transformation in how individual creators and talent are breaking down all the traditional barriers of reaching their audiences. Creators are speaking directly to their audiences and getting direct feedback from their fans. This type of communication and fandom is so powerful, in fact, according to a survey conducted by Variety, YouTube personalities were ranked the top five most influential individuals to Americans aged 13 and 18, even out-ranking mainstream movie celebrities. Traces can be found for their success in social development into micro-celebrities. By uploading new videos weekly even daily (repetitive social construction), the active YouTubers effectively established their unique cultural visibility through their contents. The concept of micro-celebrity is also appealing because it allows us to create an image of ourselves based on what we want others to see. Many of those who achieved success ono YouTube began with no more influence than we have now. Whereas, despite rapid success and larger viewership than many television programs, there Internet faces are not yet familiar outside of a relatively limited demographic. On the other hand, some YouTubers could be classified as macro-celebrities. Currently, the most subscribed YouTuber, PewDiePie, has over 35 million subscribers, a number that should realistically define him as part of the mainstream celebeity. However, most vloggers, especially those with smaller audiences, simply lack the degree of cross-demographic recognition that characterises many TV, movie and pop stars.

In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, he uses the animals to represent Russian history by showing the mistreatment of the animals, them breaking free of their owner, and going back to the terrible lifestyle they had before. The main cause of the animals going back into the terrible lifestyle is the pigs, mainly Napoleon and Squealer; they took over the farm, killed animals, and manipulated the animals. George Orwell uses both Napoleon and Squealer to demonstrate the many ways of manipulating people.

Fun, creative, motivational, and humorous, private and homemade videos were where YouTube really shined during the previous decade. Anyone with a computer, camera, and video editing software had an outlet to show their creative works for fun or presentation, with little restriction besides time and data limits, or certain language and content, to keep the creative environment friendly and legal. The addition of advertisement came along with channels becoming more and more popular, acquiring large followings, yet did not present any more restrictions to the video sharing site.

During the first few seconds of the video, hands appear and place a white bowl full of colored beads in the box. The hands then pour the beads into the box and shuffle them around. The rest of the video is a time-lapse of the beads being organized with like colors. I spent four minutes and fifty-five seconds of my life mesmerized by these beads being put into their place, and I did not feel like the time was wasted.

The public and the private often intersect and interconnect in many complex ways all through social media websites such as YouTube and is an occurrence often linked to Modernity and the rise in popularity of social media.
