Pussy Riot: The Role of Punk Music in Political Activism Punk rock as a variety of Rock emerged in the mid-70s from the conventional garage rock to reject the perceived excesses of 70s mainstream rock. Hence, the emergence of Punk created a new subculture to act as social dissent of mainstream corporate mass culture and values. Thus, Punk began as a capable mechanism for social change by radically shifting social norms through rebellion and disobedience of classical confines of class, religion, and gender as well as consumerism. According to Prinz (585) punks musically manifests through “vocal styles that can sound like angry protests or sneering insults and some songs attack the prevailing political order.” One style of Punk is using anarchism as an imperative political ideology and presents with elements of chaos and anti-authoritarianism. Pussy Riot is a band based in Russia that uses music to advance ideas on political activism, as did other earlier groups such as Sex Pistols and Crass, who use anarchism to fight existing political injustices. Arguably, Pussy Riot uses anarchism as a vital component…
Critique of the Article; Predator Recognition of Chemical Cues in Crayfish: Diet and Experience Influence the Ability to Detect Predation Threats Article Critique Summary There is no enough knowledge on whether chemical cues influence the diet of the predator, and if they alter their morphological characteristics, their features and behaviours. In the article, Beattie & Moore (2018) tested the ability of diet and experience on the strength of prey to detect predation. In carrying this experiment, the authors used crayfish as the prey. They carried out tests to determine if its diet and experience influence its ability to detect threats from the predator. Various specimens comprising of the prey, which was the crayfish, the predator identified as largemouth bass, and the diet were collected for the study. The results showed that in the presence of a predator odour, a crayfish altered its behavior (Beattie & Moore, 2018). It was therefore concluded that the crayfish was the best organism to test predator recognition of chemical cues. Even though the article has produced significant results regarding the ability of prey to detect…
Hierarchical charts According to Kirk (2016), charts are divided into five leading families, namely, Categorical: Hierarchical, Relational, Temporal, and spatial. He further discusses what chart is used for. In my case, for this discussion, I have selected hierarchical charts. It is also known as a structure chart. Hierarchical charts are defined as the visual representation of a system of hierarchy. In this form of the chart, it entails and discusses the roles, ranks, and positions that are owned by people in the various organizational framework. It is used in showing the relationship between the elements progressing from top to bottom. Hierarchical charts are applicable in the concepts or ideas, such as the hierarchy of values or needs where one part is ranked or positioned above the other in descending order about the benefit. Hierarchical charts are used in showing the relationships and chains of command in an organization. I choose these hierarchical charts because it is essential in that it helps in maintaining the organization chart b updating it with new hires and when employees change positions to leave the…
What Is 3D Visualization? What is 3D Visualization? Well, it’s a lot more than the ever-popular projection mapping technology used to create computer graphics. It involves the creation of a three-dimensional environment using camera projections and other techniques. It’s the projection of an environment as opposed to a two-dimensional image. For those who aren’t familiar with the word, this is really what’s involved in the creation of graphical representations. If you’ve ever gone to a movie and watched a few seconds of a scene, then you have seen this technology in action. Well, you’re done seeing a screen of pixels on a computer monitor. However, you are still within the world of three dimensional. The reason it’s called 3D is that the spatial images projected on a computer screen are quite a fantastic thing. The resolution of these images can vary greatly depending on the system that’s being used, but they can be extraordinarily detailed and convincing. In addition to this, they can have several different levels of detail and thus show different levels of complexity and depth. The best…
The history of life here on the earth The history of life here on the earth tries to trace the processes whereby the fossils and the living organisms evolved. This is from the earlier life emergence up-to-date . the earth formed around 4.5 years. Life emerged prior to 3.7 billions years as the evidence suggests. some life evidence as early 4.1 to 4.28 years. This controversial is due to possible formations which were non-biological of the fossils perported. From the fossil records ,it is indicates that they diverged through evolution process from same ancestor. About 1 trillion species live on the earth today and only 1.75 to 1.8 million of species named. 1.6 are in the central-database. The first evidence about life are from biogenic-carbon signature and the stramatolite fossils which were discovered .in the year 2015 biotic life remain were fpund about 4.1bilions years of age, in rock in western-australia. Microoranisms are the ealiest forms of life known and they left present signals in rocks around 3.7 bililion years of age. Evidence of microbes( microorganisms) were also found in…
Hedges and boosters communicative tactics CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter consists of a background of the study which contains previous studies and the gap of the study, statement of the problems, objectives of the study, significance of the study, scope, and limitation, and definition of key terms. Background of Study Hedges and boosters are communicative tactics for reducing or increasing the strength of representation (Hyland, 1998). The expression of hedges and boosters are focus on interactive character and rhetorical in academic writing or formal speech. Its importance lies when researchers and speakers gain acceptance for their research claims and persuasion by balancing trust, whether investment with trust in reliable knowledge or appropriate social interaction, or by reflecting uncertainty (Hyland, 1998). The possibility of the writer or speaker expressing the perspective of their statement, expressing the claim that has not been proven carefully and to enter into dialogue with their audience through the use of hedges, whereas, using boosters, helps to close reserves and strengthen certainty (Bastomi, et al, 2015). Hedges was introduced as a linguistics term based on Lakoff (1972);…

The exhibition is important because it reveals the cultural resurgence that emerged in Mexico…
Acme Corporation Question #1: Risk Management Plan The document given to the sponsor was not a risk management plan. The information contained in this document was a rough draft about the potential risk events that could affect the final product’s final product. Besides, the project manager recognized that the organization did not provide guidance on the process of developing a risk management plan. The plan contains potential business threats, possible solutions, ways of communicating the strategies to all stakeholders.

Film Critical Review The Endless is an interesting film directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. The storyline was written by Justin Benson and composed by Jimmy Lavalle. The main actors are Justin Benson, Moorhead, Tate Ellington and Callie Hernandez. I chose this film because the names of the directors are also enlisted in the cinematography which makes it common as one of the most popular student films. The film is about two men who had fled from a certain cult and they decide to go back. Some plots in the film are unnecessarily repeated. This is depicted in the plot that one of the two brothers finally gets the answers to what he yearned for and on the other brother also given the same explanation in another scene hence replicating the narrative (Reilly, Kara 28, 2018). Another critical aspect of the film comes out when the runtime of scenes is extended by creating conflict. The roles of the two working actors is to bring out their protagonist nature by sending a quiver of terror to the audience. The…
Black Revolution and Contemporary Racial Issues The speech I have chosen for this assignment is Malcolm X’s The Black Revolution, which was orated on April 8, 1964 at a meeting sponsored by the Militant Labor Forum at Palm Gardens in New York. While a video could not be found of this speech, an audio of the speech, however, was found. In the audio, he utilized oratorical skills that he has utilized often times with his other speeches. One can notice that he is a very aggressive and assertive speaker and he appeals to both pathos and ethos in his speech to convey his message and in order to appeal to the audience. Malcolm utilizes pathos and ethos when he brings up the many situations in which the white man has dehumanized and ruined the black man historically and currently. He is instilling an agitation in his listeners by reaching them by means of their emotions and morals. His overall oratorical and rhetorical skills help to convey the message of his speech, which is that a revolution within the black…
