...Populism in the Oz Mythology: One is Silver and the Other’s Gold Populism is a political idea that bloomed in Kansas in the late nineteenth century, and blossomed into a political movement well into the twentieth century. The idea represents a vast amount of people who want the best, but may not have their voices heard. Populism is the act of average men and women, farmers, etc., who want more than their political structure is offering, and demand change. Those who classify themselves as populists strive for more than what is offered by current politics, and strive for the best results in their community. Farmers during the late nineteenth century were great proponents for a silver standard, a compliment to the gold standard, as an accessible way for many in the middle class to increase their personal wealth. The creation of wealth for the lower-middle and middle-class would create a greater infrastructure economically, as these land owners could create more agricultural jobs by having to hire more people to harvest their new land. Countless works within the Oz Mythology include ideas chained to populism, the most prominent at the time being the proposition for a “Silver Standard” in addition to the current Gold Standard (Hansen). Having a silver standard within the novel would have radically changed the dynamics of the Gulch family in the original novel, which would then lead on to shape the economic setting of the following works within the Oz Mythology. During a time...

...Without these representations the Black audience began to demand these positive roles. “Black audiences were demanding to see black actors cast in positive roles, and Hollywood responded with what is now called Blaxploitation” (Miller 26). Miller believes that the positive roles will motivate the Black audience to want to do better and aspire for power roles in American society. The Wiz is a remake of the popular film Wizard of Oz but with an all-black cast. A remake of the original The Wiz in 2015 received much praise from African Americans due to see a popular film redone for the future generation. However it received a lot of criticism from Caucasian claiming that there was no need for a remake, the original was fine. Although all this criticism came through the positive depiction was widely accepted in the Black community and made a quiet of bit of money. “Hollywood will drop its racist political agenda only when it cannot make money with it. The time is here for movie audiences, especially black movie audiences, to make a statement at the box office and demand more realistic representations on the screen” (Miller 29). Hollywood and the society tend to make money off of...

...The Wizard of Oz The Wizard of Oz is a classic American film interpreted from L. Frank Baum’s book published in 1900. We have all seen the film as a child and enjoy it equally as adults. It is a film we watch repeatedly to experience the wonders of our imaginations. There are many key elements that have made this film a notorious childhood memory as well as an American classic that we have treasured for generations. How could we forget the magical characters, the music, and the outstanding cinematography? The theme of the film can be summed up simply from one of the many notable phrases, “there’s no place like home”. Dorothy, a Kansas farm girl dreams of a better place and life. During a tornado she is struck in the head and there begins her journey to Oz. There she meets magical characters, many of which travel on with her also in search of better things. Who can forget the Munchkins, the first of the strange but charming characters Dorothy encounters? Dorothy and her dog Toto also come across the wicked witch the of the west and Glenda the good witch, introducing the good vs. evil of the fairy tale. She sets out on her quest to find a way home when she stumbles upon the Scarecrow who is in search for a brain, the Tinman in search of a heart and the Lion in search of courage. There are parallels to the characters she meets in relation to her family and neighbors back in Kansas, therefore reinforcing her homesickness and the determination to return...

...The Principals' Partnership http://www.principalspartnership.com/ Sponsored by Union Pacific Foundation Research Brief Brain-based Learning Question: What does brain-based research say about how adolescents learn? Summary of Findings: The 1990s was declared as the Decade of the Brain by President Bush and Congress. With the advancement of MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imagining) and PET (positron emission tomography) scans, it has become much easier to study live healthy brains. As a result, the concept of "brain-based learning" and how to utilize it to meet the needs of students, has become an integral part of the current research and literature. The researchers caution when incorporating new information into the classroom, to use good sense about implementing what is known about good instructional practices. Major Conclusions: Basic Brain Information: The adolescent brain: • is a parallel processor-it talks to and communicates with both hemispheres • is pattern seeking-it looks for prior knowledge to which to connect new information • is naturally curious, looks for novelty and will embrace meaningful and complex investigations • is unique and thrives when given choices • takes in information in the immediate and peripheral environment • learns from an emotional base • learns when it feels physically and emotionally safe • learns information from whole-to part-to whole • learns best from a stimulating, however, not an over stimulating, environment, which is optimal for more...

...was a lot of tension between Gordy and Joseph Jackson over the management of his children's careers, and the amount of participation in making their music. The Jacksons wanted more control over their recordings, this led to most of the Jacksons to leave Motown in 1975. Jermaine Jackson stayed with the company and pursued a solo career. He had previously released several albums but none compared to the success of his younger brother Michael. Michael and his brothers called themselves the Jackson’s after that and signed a contract with Epic records.in 1978 they put out their album “Destiny” and they were recognized as great and talented song writers.

...Michael Jackson fact file: Michael Joseph Jackson was born August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009 was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Called the king of pop his contributions to music and dance, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. Michael Jackson has his own websites so his fans could check out his songs and updates also honour his music. Michael Jackson did his autobiography in a book and was published in February 1 in 1988. Five months after the release of Jackson’s 1987 Bad album, and named after Jackson’s signature dance move, the moonwalk. Michael Jackson was 58 when he died. Dubbed the "King of Pop," singer-songwriter Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana. As a child, he performed as the lead singer of the Jackson family's popular Motown group, the Jackson 5. No single artist – indeed, no movement or force – has eclipsed what Michael Jackson accomplished in the first years of his adult solo career. Jackson changed the balance in the pop world in a way that nobody has since. He forced rock & roll and the mainstream press to acknowledge that the biggest pop star in the world could be young and black, and in doing so he broke down more barriers than anybody. But he is also among the best proofs in living memory of poet William Carlos Williams' famous verse: "The pure products of America/go crazy." When Jackson died on June 25th, 2009, of apparent cardiac arrest...

He was a model enlightened entrepreneur, a fact that took me years to appreciate. His compassion with his employees and dedication to service inspired me to be a better businessman and a better person. When I was growing up, he liked to say, “Son, the most important word in the English language is ‘empathy.’ ” When I told him I was starting a business, his first words were, “Always treat your employees right.” He learned that appreciation the hard way, losing his father at a young age and countless war buddies in the trenches.
