The first assignment in our Cultural Pluralism course was to take part in several individual studies as part of the Harvard Implicit Association Test (IAT). Each of the studies measures a person’s attitudes and beliefs that they may not be willing or unable to express and to write about our experience. For some individuals, taking these types of tests would be possibly a little unsettling. As for myself, I was very sure that I had a strong understanding of who I am and what I believe, so I thought
If there is one thing that my experiences taught me it is as long as you keep a positive attitude you can do great things. In Stamps, times were rough. I was a black girl living in the south while segregation was in full swing. I lived with my grandma (who me and Bailey called Momma), my uncle Willy, and my brother Bailey.

It is the essential, award winning, one stop resource for gay men…all served up with intelligence and acerbic
words "success" and "positive attitude" should really be considered as synonyms. When it comes right down to it, these two ideas are really just the same thing. If you have success, for example, you will have a positive attitude and if you have a positive attitude, you will surely have success. There really is no difference.

The Queen from The Uncommon Reader and Menocchio from The Cheese and the Worms lived hundreds of years apart, however they exhibit a variety of similarities in their endeavors in reading.

Society seems to think that money is the root of happiness. Those who achieve their dreams of fortune often come to realize that they are unhappy, and those who fail are often the happiest. Money can buy tangible objects that aren't necessary, but if one has no one to share them with, then what’s the point? True happiness can only come from those surrounding you that provide love and support. A man is nothing without his family. In the play A Raisin In The Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, Walter Lee Younger
