My Phi Vo Research Paper

Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated have made everlasting effects on my life. Having mentors in this fraternity allowed me to see how every member feels responsible for improving the communities that they are from. They never hesitate to take the leadership roles that are needed to see change. I would like to become a member of Alpha Phi Alpha because it would allow us to share a brotherhood with great men, it will allow me to make valuable connections with other positive men around the world, and it will help me become the best version of myself. My desire to become a member of this fraternity began my freshmen year after I attended the first informational meeting. At this meeting I was able to speak with members and also learn from them. They each have strong leadership characteristics that allow them to serve on executive boards across campus and they all are high achieving students at Cornell.

In the Novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Lee uses the characters Mrs. Dubose, Mr. Dolphus Raymond, and Tom Robinson to show the many ways that deceptive appearance can be seen. If it is the individual who puts up a mask, one’s personality, or past stereotypes that cause deceptive appearances: Lee tries to show you throughout the novel how perceiving someone before they get the chance to show you who they are, often turns out they are not as bad or they are not like how they once seemed to be. Today in our society many people are afraid to show who they are in fear of judgment of others so they put up a front so that they will be judge that part of them instead of that part of their true selves. Society’s eyes is the cause of the need to be a false image of yourself and the reason why people analyze someone based on stereotypes before getting to know their

“The mask represents the [indigenous] people who had nothing, but would do anything to support the people that they love.” Alaniz says that this idea inspires him to do more in his work to bring social change. The thin, smooth textured material of the mask made him wonder, “If people with little resources can make this [mask] to bring change, then what can I do as a person of wealth to bring social change to the world.” Although he does not necessarily have to make a big change, he can create change by getting to know the people and sharing their experiences with others. With this, he can thereby influence others to become interested in making a change in the world. It is because of experience like this the Alaniz encourages students to plunge into this trip to witness the unjust inequality the lives within the

The mask, in its general aspect, was intended to emphasize the contrast between a brave appearance and a craven nature.

harder for people to get to know her. By joining the Mask and Wig Club, in North Crawford, she was given the opportunity to open up to others and meet new people, thus making many friends. We can see that by emerging from her protective shell, it was easier for her to get to know the people around her and for them to get to know her as well.

I chose to research Phidias,the son of Charmides.No one knows a lot about Phidias’s life but we do know that he was born around 490b.c. and died around 430b.c.In addition Phidias was born in Athens, greece and died in a prison in Elis. Phidias was a sculptor. He made many important sculptures the first one is Athena Promachos and it was 25 feet tall and made out of gold and ivory. Also he made Athena Areia and the technique he used was (acrolithic).Next is the Athena Lemnia which was dedicated to the acropolis. I made a replica of the Athena Lemnia to represent Phidias’s sculptures. Pericles was a mentor \ friend to Phidias. But then Pericles became a enemy to Phidias and Pericles traped Phidias in a prison. Phidias also went to

I always thought my chilhood would affect my future. I was born into poverty. My mother was a foster child and lived with her foster parents. My Father was attending college at the University of Akron and lived on Campus. My dad was very well driven and outspoken, but what I didn't know is that my father would be the reason why im the person I am today.

In society, people are constantly worried about “fitting in” and fear being themselves will hinder their ability to conform to society. Many people fear that being themselves will have a detrimental effect on their social life, and others feel that they are outcasts and that they need to be someone they’re not in order to be socially accepted. People often try to hide their true personality, and wear a “mask.” To metaphorically wear a mask is to express yourself the way you want to be seen, rather than how you actually feel. This instills the idea that one’s own personality is not good enough, creating a fear of being yourself, causing people to wear a “mask.” People wear these masks in an attempt to navigate in society, to preserve innocence,

The main way that the masks were used was to hide the wearers identity. Usually criminals because they did not want their identity to be known. Servent’s used them as well so that they would be recognized as noblemen at events. They were worn mostly at carnivals and fairs. The masks were worn too much that at a point they were banned from being worn on certain months. With the masks no one was considered different, everyone was the same;

The things I carry on Monday are found in my twenty-five pound backpack filled to the brim with academic items. I carry my AP Government notebook, binder, and occasionally, textbook. I carry an excruciating amount of materials for that one class, as I hope to be a politician when I grow up. Though all five pounds of material could easily be replaced by a laptop, I refuse to sacrifice, no matter how minimal, any of my materials just to make my backpack a few pounds lighter.

As a senior I have numerous strengths and weaknesses that go on in my everyday school life. At school, I’m extremely useful with my time, I am hard working, turn in all of my assignments, and show up almost every day working my hardest. I have college classes as a senior in high school and participate in extracurricular activities.While I have some weaknesses like studying frequently for quizzes and tests, also I would like to work on my writing skills during school for me outside of school.

A common discovery that many people make sooner or later throughout their life is that they feel so much more comfortable with the protection of a mask. They experience a feeling of freedom, because they feel like they are anonymous. People do not have to worry about what others will think about them because they do not know who is behind the mask. The person with the mask can say or do whatever he/she wants without consequence. There are many different types of façades. One would be commenting as an anon online. Another would be a literal mask that one would see at a masquerade party. A mask forms a sort of protective barrier that defends ones social status granting freedom to act in whatever way one pleases.

Throughout the video you see different groups of friends, and in each group of friends they wore the same mask and no mask was different. To me this means to fit in with a certain group you have to wear the same mask, and if you don't wear the same mask

Masks have been a very important part of ritual and spiritual events for thousands of years now, the mask was famous in Africa around the 3000 B.C - 1100 A.D. In the past, the African people used the masks in sacrificial ceremonies. Today, we are using the masks as a party items or accessories. The masks were also used by dancers for cultural and very important things. We now hardly use the masks in a cultural or traditional use. Masks have been used for ritual and spiritual events since 3000 B.C and till this day it’s an everyday used item. The Masks have a lot of meaning to them, each one can mean many different things to many different people, and that’s why most people don’t really get what masks are used for these days.

My body is very important to me. It is kind of cliché to say, but I follow the belief that “My body is my temple”. Staying in shape and improving my physique are goals I have. I am very active and enjoy playing all kinds of sports. I have always had an athletic advantage. On average I go to the gym three days a week for an hour and a half each time. I love the feeling that lifting weights gives me. I have gained confidence by working out. The gym makes my body feel energized and refreshed. When I go to the gym it is my personal time. I reflect on the day or develop new ideas. I get lost and just forget about all the stresses. I recommend that everyone should stay active. Soccer, hockey, and skiing are some other sports I
