While driving in a bus from Ataturk airport to my accommodation‚ I spotted several huge‚ green parks just near enormous Bosphorus strait.

During our first Visual Arts unit‚ we created a self-reflection piece. We looked inside ourselves to find qualities and things that we thought were important‚ then tried to combine all that into one word that we thought described ourselves. I thought that I was like a river in the world‚ and so my piece is called “My Gang.” I chose this name mostly because of the background. When I was thinking of a name for this project‚ I immediately thought of the Hangang (Han River) in Seoul. I think this is

One must decide the meaning of "progressive historiography." It can mean either the history written by "progressive historians‚" or it can mean history written by historians of the Progressive era of American history and shortly after. The focus that was chosen for this paper is more in keeping with the latter interpretation‚ if for no other reason than it provides a useful compare-and-contrast "control" literature. <br><br>The caveat is this: the focus of this report is on the predominant question

Traveling is not an easy thing to do. Running to the station‚ standing in queues‚ spending lots of money‚ one can say: struggling for existence. As Huysmans said: “the imagination could provide a more-than-adequate substitute for the vulgar reality of actual experience” . So the question is: why do people travel‚ despite all inconveniences‚ which they have to fight with?

They have manipulated our opinion‚ reactions‚ and even likeness of art. They defined who the

playing songs before the year 2000‚ every time their songs come up‚ my father always changed the station or a conversation would drown the song merely as background. I do not think it is intentional but it just so happened and they too were not a phenomenon in Malaysia.

Traveling is more important than reading books to understand people and the world. A book about another country tells you about things such as the country’s history‚ its people and its culture in a very general way. When meeting foreigners‚ I found that books can’t be trusted totally. For example‚ when I was visiting Wisconsin University‚ many people were rigid‚ uneducated‚ had no sense of humor‚ and they all wore blue suits. Even the picture in some people’s minds was that Chinese still wore pigtails
