She's forty; he's twenty. Will buppie champion Stella (Angela Bassett), a single parent with a depleting, lucrative employment as a stockbroker in San Francisco, discover bliss with Winston (Taye Diggs), a stud she finds on an excursion in Jamaica? Such a great amount for plot. Writer Terry McMillan turned her own vacation sentiment with a more youthful man into top of the line fiction.

Samantha Wong Intro to Fine Arts 25 January 2016 Critique 1 Theatre/Cinema: Rent (2005, Taye Diggs Rosario Dawson) On February 15, 2016, I watched the movie rent.

From Eminem’s hardcore explicit lyrics, to Lil Kim’s outrageous outfits to the late Tupac Shakur’s “thug life” image, the rap subculture has been under a lot of speculation. Many rappers lyrics contain violent messages that parents fear are encouraging youth to become violent. The media has a field day covering protests against rappers, such as Eminem about their explicit lyrics towards gays, women and their promotion of violence. The main concern is how rap is influencing today, particularly towards

Dominants and Subordinates in Education In “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education,” from the Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Revised Edition, Paulo Freire discusses two different types of education: “banking” and problem-posing. The banking concept of education is when teachers “make deposits which the students patiently receive, memorize, and repeat” (318), and ‘problem posing’ is when the teachers and students are equal.
