Education & Reference - 11 January 2007

I cannot decide where to go! My options are San Francisco University, CSU Northridge or CSU Los Angeles. For San Francisco, I am worried about rent and cost of living over there. Northridge and Los Angeles come close, I really like the Northridge campus. But I can't choose what school to go to.

So in my political science class, we learned that the meaning of political science is the study of power and influence. And we discussed how the government can have power or influence over you.

Well my assignment is as stated in the question. Some examples of non-governmental entities that exercise power and influence over you.

Normally this would be a fairly easy assignment for me to do, but I am behind in my Chemistry and Calculus class that I'm afraid I might be brain dead by the time I get to this assignment. (I like to do the most important assignments first before the easy ones.)

So any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. No half-@ss answers or remarks, please.

Thank you soooo much in advance. You don't know how much I appreciate your help.

Select a creative work—a novel, a film, a musical piece, a painting, or other work of art—that has influenced the way you view the world and the way you view yourself. Discuss the impact the work has had on you. (We are more interested in how the work has affected you rather than reading a detailed plot summary or a description of the work.)


"Fantasy is what they want, but reality is what they need." Nine out of tens times, if someone were to turn on a radio, they would hear a song whose lyrics identify something, or in some cases, a life they could only dream of living. The beat is enticing, and the lyrics may say something like, "…i've got so many houses, cars, and dollar bills." Of the many albums I have heard and liked, my favorite is Lauryn Hill's MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 . I love this album because it breaks away from the fantasy world, while differentiating itself from the popular music that is presented in the media today.
Before discovering Lauryn Hill's MTV Unplugged No. 2.0, I had many perceptions about some things in life, and life in general. One particular misconception that I had was that the life of a person in the media was the best life to live. I once thought that people like celebrities, politicians, and others in the lime light, live happy lifestyles because of the unlimited access that they have to the things they desire. However, after listening to the fourth track (“Interlude 1”) on the album, my views on the celebrity lifestyle changed. In “Interlude 1”, Lauryn Hill casually explains why the success she dreamed of was not essentially everything she dreamed it would be, as she states, “I, uh, came to terms with the fact that I’d created this public persona—this public illusion---and it held me hostage. It was like I couldn’t be a real person because I was too afraid of what my public would say and at that point I had to do some dying and say, ‘This is who I truly am.’” Hearing Ms. Hill, a celebrity who had it all, say these words brought me to the reality that the “celebrity world” is not all that it appears to be. Gaining a better understanding about the “rich lifestyle” helped me to apply and connect these lyrics to the way I view myself and others around me. Often times, I notice people appear to rank at a higher position, in comparison to myself. In other words, these people give the impression that they have everything that a person could want in life. However, after listening to Hill’s album, I learned that although people may seem to have everything, it does not validate their true lives. Even if a person has more materialistic belongings than others, their happiness is not guaranteed. In conclusion, Lauryn Hill’s MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 has engraved a new outlook on my views of the connection between my life and a life portrayed by the media. Lauryn Hill says, “[if you] repent and let your mind be re-taught, You'll find what you sought...was based on the deception you bought, a perception of naught.”

I've spent the last month applying to many Ph.D and Psy.D programs (directly after undergrad). Do such programs let you know if they are not interested in you? I'm worried that it is a matter of either you get an interview or you never hear from the school.

I am going to major in Biology and was wandering whether I am going to have to do powerpoints or is the professor going to do all the work. Since I am going in the pre-med field, Would chemistry, physics, and biology classes make students do presentations? Why is that in High school they say do powerpoints to prepare you for college? There must be a reason for that.
