Introduction (Location and why I picked Rio de Janeiro) My destination of choice was Rio de Janeiro. It is a municipality in Brazil. There are various reasons why I selected this destination. One of the primary reason is the cultural diversity of this city. It is the main cultural hub of Brazil with structures and building dating back to the 16th century. Notably, it is a city that shares a culture that descends from Portuguese, art and creation (Maia). Another reason is the beauty of the city regarding things like location, diversity, restaurants, and music. The city is the primary tourist attraction city in South America. The city receives more than 1.3 million tourists every year (Belen). The high number of the tourists is due to elements such as extensive natural beaches, word class hotels, Sugarloaf Mountains and the famous Corcovado. The city also has multiple theatres which are attractive and which are home to ballet, opera, and classical music (Telegraph). In particular, I am a great lover of the ballet music which makes Rio De Janeiro my destination of…
AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY DEPICTION ACCORDING TO “FENCES” The era of 1950’s and 1960’s in the history of Pittsburg has been presented as the high time when the African Americans were busy fighting for their civil rights. Mainly, they were striving to achieve goals of desegregating in public places and the enactment of impartial housing and employment laws which were mainly favoring the whites and discriminating the blacks. After the demolition of Hill District, the largest black neighborhood in the area is when major protests erupted (Bodnar, Simon & Weber, 2013). As a result, the Crawford Avenue in the Hill was branded the Freedom Corner because it acted as the intersection where protesters marched towards the city hall. Also, Freedom Corner acted as the departure point for Pittsburghers who trudged towards Washington to support Dr. Martin Luther King who was advocating for equal treatment for both the whites and blacks. It is during these years that blacks were making their initial strides in the struggle for equal civil rights in the society because they were being treated like lesser beings. Wilson’s…

Re: Potential Causes of Action for Breach of Contract and Specific Performance A contract is described as an agreement between two parties who agree on fulfilling the stated obligation. If one party fails to satisfy one of the requirements, he or she is said to have breached the contract. In this case, the worldwide auction house launches an auction set to sell Candies’ strapless giraffe dress to the highest bidder. Cassie playing the role of the auctioneer will grant the dress’s ownership to the person willing to pay the highest amount. Pearl, one of the bidders, offers $8500 for the dress, but Cassie refuses to grant her ownership. This situation is an example of a breach of contract because the Worldwide Auction House has an obligation to sell the dress to the person paying the highest amount. Therefore, it is inherent that a case is filed against Cassie for breach of contract. This is because she fails to satisfy her set of the bargain. It is important to note that a remedy in court law is a solution ordered by…
South Korean Cultural Experience Part of what makes South Korea unique is the manner in which the new norms blend right in with the traditional mores. As a visitor, it may be strangely challenging to connect with the cultural activities, traditions, and standards of the local people. This feat is especially difficult in the large cities such as Seoul. One may quite easily be immersed into the modern aspects of the city. As such, the overwhelming cosmopolitan facilities, social amenities, and modernization flavors that characterize these sorts of cities may dominate the visit alienating one from the true cultural experience of the people. In my visit to Seoul, I was able to capture the utterly unique and cultural value of the Korea. From face value, one could easily tell that the city has remained solidly Korean as characterized by the adamant retention of traditional architecture amidst rapid development and modernization as well as the warming traditions of the locals. The city is key to understanding the ways of the people through their history. As alluded to in the introduction, one…

In their study, they evaluated the skills of both people who play video games and those who don’t play in several areas like visual search tasks as well as peripheral vision tests.
