The social, cultural, and entertainment news around the date of my birth included many top and important releases, a few top hits are still in today. Top songs I got to listen to as a newborn were “I Believe I Can Fly” by R. Kelly, “Wannabe” by Spice Girls, and “Candle in the Wind” by Elton John. In 1973, Elton John wrote the first “Candle in the Wind” as a tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Then in 1997 when Princess Diana died in a car crash, he rewrote it and only performed it live at her funeral (Doyle). Also, Elton John won Best Pop Male Vocal with “Candle in the Wind” in 1997 at the Grammys (Trader 's Edge LLC, Music).

A few other shows on TV were Star Trek: Voyager, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, and Homicide: Life on the Street (DMarie Direct Inc.). The year I was born was an exciting year for sports, the Green Bay Packers won 35-21 against the New England Patriots. Also Nebraska and Michigan were the NCAA Football Champions (Pearson Education). A misunderstanding occurred between UC Santa Barbara players and their coach, Jerry Pimm. All of the players voted that their couch should resign, but the vote in turn was a play to get Pimm to talk with them ("Gauchos Mutiny Against Pimm."). Another sport event that happened in 1997 included a new rookie talking too big than what has yet happened. Maurice Taylor, a basketball player, wont back down even though his career just started because he knows that he is able to accomplish everything he is saying (Baker). Fashion statements were divided into two themes in 1997 the minimalism and luxury look. The minimalism was a sense of sophisticated simplicity that most women preferred (Cosgrave). In silk and cashmere, the luxury look was quietly expressed. Also it was common for everyone to wear baseball caps but the way they wore them differed from straight forward to people wearing them backwards majority of the time or even side ways occasionally (Phipps). Entertainment was successful in 1997 and so was the economy. Unemployment rates were 5.4% in

On October 23, three football players were born. These tiny toddlers would grow up to change the game of football altogether.
In the past year I have had an extraordinary amount of life changing events. From the joys of winning a baseball state championship to my lowest point of losing my best friend Tucker.

Women donned flashy evening attire, comfortable sportswear, and conservative work suits. Skirt lengths fluctuated a bit, dresses either hung straight or flared at the hip, and the garçonne look became popular.

In addition to everything that happened prior to my high school years, my freshman year was one, if not, my most memorable when it comes to sports. Track may have been my only sport in high school but I took a great deal or pride and passion in what I was doing and the team I was on, felt like another family. We had a track meet in Eudora, Kansas, and I was on the four by one team relay, which is four people that each run a 100 meter dash and pass off a baton. I was the anchor of the team and we were in first place in the event. When I got the
In this article, the opening explains what complicated grief is. Then, it goes on to explain a clinical trial that was done by Katherine Shear, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia (Schumer, 2009). In this clinical trial, it focused more on older adults who had lost a child or a spouse (Schumer, 2009). In this clinical trial, Shear figured out that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was twice as effective as regular Interpersonal Therapy (Schumer, 2009). Another study was done by Mary-Frances O’Connor (Schumer, 2009). In this study, she used an MRI to study the brain activity of people with complicated grief (Schumer, 2009).

In the year of 2000 when I was born many thing were happening. Things happen happening locally like money doesn't matter (“Toledo Blade”). Success was also happening early at Wynn elementary. A big national problem was happening too, two hijacked planes hit the World Trade Center. That changed many people's life and many people died that day. “It was a war against our way of life, a war of terror, and our response would dominate the decades and years to come” (“Historical Events”). Also cost of many products we need were very cheap in the 2000s like the price of milk was $2.88. Not just the bad but also happening internationally was the Olympic Games opened in Australia (“Major World Events”). Which the Olympic Games were always a big thing
Racial diversity in the media, a genuine look at how the media portrays different races. The loose words used to describe each culture in the media. Media has three main forms the internet, television and the news in print. Dependent on which one you use the view may can sway one way or another.

Hip Hop is probably the fastest growing forms of music that has taken the world and the media by storm. What started in the Bronx as a hobby for some young African Americans and Latinos quickly became a distinct culture that broke barriers. Hip Hop created a culture that is so controversial and diverse, that many people in politics tried to bring it down. At the same time, many fought to keep it going and intent on proving that there are many positives that have come out of this type of music. Is Hip Hop looked down on because of its use of vulgar language and misogynistic views? Some argue since its arrival it has been nothing but trouble and others applaud Hip Hop as a masterpiece that came from the young minds of today’s urban generation. Sometimes when society has to deal with something new, they see the negative more, even though the positive is more obvious. Although, there are many positive characteristics of Hip Hop, mainstream media would rather focus on the negative and distort the many positives that Hip Hop has contributed to the world.
