If Dionne were to take a stance that was based on cognitive dissonance he would have a slightly different outlook.

In a terrible turn of circumstances on the early morning of August 5, 1962, 36-year-old Marilyn died in her sleep at her Brentwood, California home with the phone attached to her hand. Rumors speculate of an overdose or intentionally killing herself.

A cool customer is someone who remains calm and is not easily upset. In Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking, which chronicles the year following the sudden death of her husband John Gregory Dunne, Didion is referred to as a “cool customer”. She is a cool customer in that she is numb to the reality of her husband’s death, she keeps herself removed from the emotional realities of the situation. We see this in the series of events that take place in the moments directly following his death. Didion says, “At first I thought he was making a failed joke, an attempt to make the difficulty of the day seem manageable”. We see from the beginning that she doesn’t believe what has happened. When

The first experience that shaped Collins’ scholarship occurred during her time instituting a new curriculum at St. Joseph Community School, an educational center for underprivileged children of color, which sought to engage young students in thinking critically about power systems and intellectual activism. At this stage in her career, she focused on developing curriculum and teaching herself new information to fill in gaps in her knowledge in order to provide historical and social frameworks for the lessons she taught her students.

While Ramesses II achieved some military success in this battle, he did not achieve that political success that he wanted as he ultimately did not gain control of Kadesh. Instead however, the head of the Hittites, Muwatallis, sent an envoy with a peace proposal, in which included the statement “very excellent is peace – there is no blame in peace when you make it” (Bradley 1999). This statement persuaded Ramesses II to come to a unanimous decision from both sides regarding the truce which Green (1963) corroborates when he gives the notion that this proposal was perhaps because “the slaughter was so great on both sides that a truce was called.” Soon after the “ill-fated battle of Kadesh, saw the arrival of the Hittite diplomat… the peace treaty…

The late 60s and 70s was still a time period of a male dominated, sexist culture, and in the music industry, women relied heavily on male producers. Although the youth were proclaiming sexual freedom, and forming a counterculture against their middle class parents, rock music was still written and performed almost entirely by men, with lyrics that heavily labeled women as objects. There was also the inference that many of the existing female singers were fairly interchangeable. Feeling a need for transformation, artists like Janis Joplin created their own musical identity. Popular songs had told women that they were sexual objects, but Joplin delved deeper than that in her lyrics. Joplin spoke of the pain of being a woman and how to live with and compensate for that pain.
