Salsa has become an ever more popular dance in the United States, especially with the emergence of Latin artists including Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, and Shakira. Go to any club or ballroom dance and you will hear a pulsating beat moving you out of your chair and onto the floor. Even Broadway has been affected by Latin music. For instance, Cell Block Tango in the smash hit Chicago has a driving Latin beat. It doesn't matter if you are partying in Miami or sipping martinis in Massachusetts

"After Zorro, people spoke Spanish to me for ages. I 'm Welsh but that movie instantly gave me a new ethnicity." This was a quote by the actress, Catherine Zeta-Jones, when asked to speak Spanish in an interview for the Univision media network. This is one of the many results that come from of a complex reality of identity. Individuality is controlled by a social structure that labels a person based on similarities to a particular ethnic group. Society has the need to shape the ethnic identity of

There has been a steady decline in musicals being produced, since the 1970’s. The movie Chicago has helped to bring the genre of musicals back into public favor. With the help of the movie, and articles that have been written about the return of the musical, I will convey how this has come to be. I have looked at the history of this genre to see how it has gone down in popularity, and how it has come back. Music has been around for as long as anyone can remember. People have been pairing music and

Films often depict the trade and use of drugs in Latin America as an extremely violent situation. Countries like Columbia or Mexico are usually where the drugs come from while the United States are the destination. More times than not, Latin America plays the role of an antagonist while the United States plays the protagonist. A film about Latin America, when pertaining to the United States, can fall into one of three categories: fully Latin American, a joint effort between Latin American countries

INTRODUCTION A brand is essentially a business’s product or service combined with its unique positioning. All brands stand for something in the consumers’ eyes, and what a brand stands for is vitally important for the success of its business. Many of the top brands have brand ambassadors who promote them (for a fee of course) so Shahrukh Khan represents TAG Heuer ,Pepsodent and Sunfeast ,among others, while Aishwarya Rai is the brand ambassador for L’Oreal, and Kareena Kapoor for Head and Shoulders

Jan De Bont’s 1999 film rendition of The Haunting was adapted after Robert Wise’s 1963 adaptation of the original The Haunting of Hill House novel written by Shirley Jackson. When adaptations are made, especially novel to film, changes are inevitably made. I feel that the difference between a "faithful" and a "good" one is the success it receives from its audience. Especially if the media being adapted is older, the adaptations may determine it necessary to modernize aspects of the story. In my opinion

Just Tell Me The Truth Have you ever wondered why it can be so hard to tell the truth, or why it seems better to tell a lie? In both F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Rob Marshall’s Chicago, characters lie because they feel that it is easier. However, lying leads to a downward- spiral. The society we live in can either lead us to a complicated relationship with the truth or easy going. The problem with constantly telling lies is that it starts off with one then leads to another until

Mental disorders have been around for as long as man has been around, although our knowledge of what they truly are and how to treat them is still relatively new. Bipolar Disorder specifically has been around as far back as 300 to 500 AD, however in those times; people with mental illnesses were horribly tortured and killed because it was believed they worked with the Devil and demons (“Through the ages, it’s been there”). It wasn’t until the 18th and 19th centuries that we began to see people with
