A Look into the Music: Marsha Ambrosius Tori Campbell Prof. Tober May 1, 2014 Imagine a crowd of people with on the edge of your seat, nail-biting excitement. People were bubbling with energy and some alcohol to loosen everyone up. The lights are dim and the show is about to start. The slow melodic notes of the piano echo through the theater and out walks the singer dressed in an all lace number and a shawl showing more skin than covering. It is evident that this event is definitely for the “grown and sexy”. On Sunday March 8, 2014, I attended a Masha Ambrosius concert in which she was promoting her album friends and lovers. During the course of the show there were 4 different performances all of which had different effects on the …show more content…
Next up was the all-male R&B vocalist group, mprynt. The group is composed of four males all from Philadelphia. As a group they are comparable to 90’s male groups such as Jodeci, Dru Hill, and B2K. When they first stepped on stage they immediately grabbed the attention of the crowd. They started with a melody of popular 90s songs from all male groups such as the ones previously stated. They appealed more to the females in the room because of the sexual innuendos and dance moves they performed. They had a very strong stage presence they demanded the attention of the audience. Mprynt gave a wide range of vocal harmonies and this added to their overall appeal to the women in the room which was evident by the screams and whoos heard throughout the venue. Finally the last performer and in my opinion the best of the night, Ms. Marsha Ambrosius. Marsha Ambrosuis is an R&B singer. According to freedictionary.com R&B is defined as “a style of music developed by African Americans that combines blues and jazz, characterized by a strong backbeat and repeated variations on syncopated instrumental phrases.” As she sang Marsha gave a story as to the songs she performed and related it back to the album’s title whether the song related to lovers or friends and if she though that two people could be lovers and friends. There was no question as to what the song implied or was about during the performance

Women’s music came from radical, grassroots origins in the 1970s thanks to contributions by brave women, mostly lesbians (Mosbacher, 2002). These women used non-violent, peaceful force to forge their own way into the music industry. It was a peaceful yet political revolution of togetherness and liberation. It brought together women of different backgrounds who produced easy-listening, mellow harmonies played with lyrics filled with tumultuous
M2 - Use different sociological perspectives to discuss patterns and trends of health and illness in two different social groups
If Sociology is the systematic study of human society, then sociological imagination is what we perceive or think about how people work and or think in a more personal and bias matter. C.W. Mills believes that merging two different theories of social reality of the “individual” and “society”. Mills challenges readers and learners by arguing many basic terms and definitions from what “we” believe are right. Chapters one and two talks about how society portrays what we know rather then the facts. Our bias opinions and beliefs often go against what science has proven.

How would you describe your inner mind? crazy? genius? They say that both are two sides of the same side. Through my experiences, I shape the world around me, developing a unique perspective from my worldview. When it comes to how I perceive reality I just summarize it in these six concepts: culture, meaning, self, self-fulfilling prophecy, and scripts, and self-serving bias. My culture defines me down to my very genetic core. It explains why I drive the way I do, how I talk, what is socially acceptable, why I react to things the way I do , why I attend LIU, etc.

As I reflect on sociology 100, I realized that this is truly a course that opens up one 's mind. I admire the fact that this course really going to teach me a lot. I was really scared to take this class because honestly I had no idea what Sociology is? I never took this class but my professor made it easy and he made very clear that how we can keep an A in the class and what he expects from us. The first week of the class was just about the syllabus and what chapter we gonna cover throughout the semester. In total we studied nine chapter.

The first chapter was The Social Imagination, The second chapter was Studying the Social World, The third chapter was Social Interaction, The fourth chapter was Social Structure, The Fifth chapter was Culture, Media and Communication, The sixth chapter was Power and Politics, The seventh chapter was Social Stratification, Inequality and Poverty, The eight chapter was Race and Ethnicity and last but not least was Gender and Sexuality.

It allows you to go to different paths, it affects how we talk, it helps us to understand what 's going
The singers on the small raised stage near the front of the wine bar were that cute metro-couple type; the one with the gorgeous guy in his late twenties, lean build, sporting the stubble beard, straight smooth dark hair, worn blue jeans, button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the forearms, which itself is framed by an earthy, unbuttoned vest and the obnoxiously skinny girl in a simple cotton dress and irritatingly perfect skin. The youthful duet dressed the air with nostalgic, unplugged Nirvana, Candlebox and David Gray songs, which drew my mind back to high school and the agonies of adolescence.
