This new generation has been called Millennials. Millennials are people who were born between the years 1982-2000 (United States Census Bureau). And from these ideas in American culture nowadays colleges have been changing in the last hundred years. The term “coddling” has been used to describe this trend in American

Either ‘masturbation’ strikes an innately uncomfortable chord when it tries to leave a human mouth or I’m just childish, oversensitive to a cluster of syllables that sound altogether so clinical and cold. Alternative turns of phrase are out there for the weak at heart: there’s an episode of ‘That ’70s Show” where the credits roll over Donna in a bathtub surrounded by candles, her hand unseen under the water in an ultra-feminine, epitomized snapshot of what

For my job shadow I went to the University of Sioux Falls! There I was introduced to Joe Obermueller who is the Assistant Professor and Director of theatre.

In his book Why Teach?, Mark Edmundson constructs an argument about the paradoxical consumer culture surrounding education. The Virginian professor takes a stance on the problems that he has both experienced in his own classroom and observed on campuses, and he approaches each problem in turn, making significant claims which are assigned appropriate blames. His essay, “Liberal Arts & Lite Entertainment,” originally published in 1997, is broken into six sections and begins with his experience at his
