APPENDIX 2

Tamara Raymond 3 pieces of data


1.) Title: Rolling in the deep
By: Adele

There is a fire starting in my heart


Reaching a fever pitch, it is bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I will lay your ship bare
See how I will leave with every piece of you
Do not underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it is bringing me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I cannot help feeling
We could've had it all (you are gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside (you are gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I have heard one on you, now I am gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there, as mine sure will not be shared
The scars of your love (never had met me)
Remind me of us (tears are gonna fall)
They keep me thinking (rolling in the deep)
That we almost had it all (you are gonna wish you)
The scars of your love (never had met me)
They leave me breathless (tears are gonna fall)
I cannot help feeling (rolling in the deep)
We could've had it all (you are gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside (you are gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)
We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating
Throw your soul through every open door (whoa)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (whoa)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (whoa)
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you have sown
We could've had it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could've had it all (you are gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could've had it all (you are gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside (you are gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)
Could've had it all (you are gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside (you are gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
But you played it, you played it, you played it
You played it to the beat
2.) Title: The poetry of pop
By: Adam Bradley
3.) Title: The story of pop music from bill Haley to Beyonce
By: Stanley bob
Much like the sound it describes, the best pop is swift, urgent and as brief and satisfying as
squeezing the air out of packing bubbles. The jubilant genre has seen countless incarnations
since its mid-1950s inception, and Bob Stanley attempts to cover them all in just under 600
pages. In his encyclopedic “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” Stanley zips through decades of dance tunes
and teenage heartthrobs with an affectionate ebullience. The title is telling, as he clearly favors
infectious songs with lighter lyrics over anything heavy, taking sly shots at Paul Simon (“almost
no one would say he’s their favorite songwriter”) while lauding the goofy freneticism of the
early rock-and-roll year 1958, which gave us songs like “Get a Job,” “Poor Little Fool,” “Do
You Wanna Dance,” “Susie Q,” “Sea Cruise” and “Book of Love”: “Nothing was quite the same,
or quite as new, or quite as free, ever again.”
In his great enthusiasm, Stanley is unashamed of subjective asides and hyperbolic praise, which
help push the reader through some of the denser sections, and there are a few. Yet even when
he’s trudging through a biblical genealogy of one-hit wonders, he stays profoundly fascinated by
his subject. The writing gets clunky when he’s ambitiously squeezing as much as he can into a
single chapter, but that’s to be expected with singles-fueled genres like doo wop, garage rock and
disco. The book is best enjoyed in small portions, while listening to the material Stanley covers.
Stanley’s best anecdotes have to do with unexpected success, such as the extraordinary British
revival of washboard-toting skiffle bands in the ’50s, the influence of skiffle star Lonnie
Donegan on John Lennon and Jimmy Page, and the unlikely chart dominance of the late ’70s
Bee Gees, who incidentally were in a skiffle band themselves in the ’50s. Stanley draws
connections between eras, notes the advent of new genres and tracks their evolving meanings.
“By 1963,” he writes, “R&B meant something quite different to Americans from what it did to
the Rollings Stones. Their blues heroes belonged to an older generation. . . . The Four Seasons as
well as Chicago’s Impressions . . . were all creating something new on Billboard’s R&B chart.”
He goes on to name 1966 as the year the term “soul” was coined for music, though the style
began to form years earlier. In an especially insightful moment, he points out how Billboard’s
changing names for one of its singles charts mapped the evolving terminology — from “race”
music to “rhythm & blues,” from “soul” to “black” music, and eventually to today’s “R&B/hip
hop.”
By the time the ’80s roll around, pop has shot out in so many directions that condensing it into a
single book is nigh impossible. Stanley is not particularly interested in the trajectory of big pop
bands like Tears for Fears and A-ha, but after diving headlong into disco, he digs deep with less
mainstream movements like house, techno and rave. “The biggest break for house and techno,”
he explains, “came from an accident, a piece of malfunctioning technology . . . a cheap piece of
gear called a Roland TB-303.” He goes on to tell how DJs Pierre and Spanky utilized the warped
sounds of the faulty TB-303 to spark dance-floor chaos in Chicago clubs, marking the birth of
acid house music.
Although his coverage of American music is generally quite good, Stanley writes from a
decidedly British perspective. He notes interesting divides and commonalities between the two
nations, pointing out America’s late-blooming interest in glam rock, its divergent perspective on
punk, and the fact that Britain missed out on the initial triumph of pop-country icon Garth
Brooks.
Ultimately, Stanley knows that the task of condensing what he refers to as modern pop into a
single book is impossible, but he does his damnedest to get it done anyway. His personal taste as
a dance musician is refreshingly far from the “rockist,” Led Zeppelin-worshiping tendencies of
so many pop historians. Perhaps as a result, when the music gets louder, his facts occasionally
get blurry, as when he dates the rise of thrash metal a bit too late, wrongly refers to Black Flag as
a D.C. band (though the group’s onetime singer Henry Rollins is from the area), and uses the
term “heavy metal” much as it was first used in the ’70s, with no regard for the difference
between the pop-chart success of hard rockers like AC/DC and the long-term influence of metal
royalty Black Sabbath. But much of this is forgivable because of the way Stanley writes, as if he
were engaging the reader in conversation rather than delivering a treatise. His affable writing
style is punctuated by moments of wit and insight, even when some of his stories sound
apocryphal. The man is a true fan, with enough historical understanding and musical knowledge
to argue all night about any given era. In that sense, “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” is as good a “story of
pop music” as a fan could hope for.

Technology’s Influence on Education
AUGUST 10, 2016 | INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY |
SOUTH UNIVERSITY
Technology plays a large role in many aspects of day-to-day
life, and education is no different. Technology is rapidly
changing the way students learn and how instructors teach.
Computers have replaced chalkboards as the go-to tool in
classrooms today. And it’s not just happening in higher
education; technology is part of education for children of all
ages. It’s also a part of their daily lives. According to a research
study by Common Sense Media published in October 2011,
“computer use is pervasive among very young children, with
half (53%) of all 2 to 4 year olds having ever used a computer,
and nine out of 10 (90%) 5 to 8 year olds having done so.”
As technology continues to evolve, it brings with it new
opportunities and challenges for educators and students. Social
networking is a great example of technology that can help — or
hinder — education, depending on how it is used and integrated
into teaching plans. Privacy and security are two concerns that
can come with using social networking in the classroom. It can
also become a distraction to students, or even a tool used for
bullying. According to a 2011 Pew report, 15% of children
surveyed said they had been the victim of mean behavior on
social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
However, using social networking as part of the learning process
can also have benefits. Students who are more introverted may
open up and connect more with faculty and other students when
they are communicating through social networking. It also
affords students the opportunity to collaborate and work together
in a whole new way.
There are also social networking sites designed specifically for
education. An article on technology in education by Education
Week mentions ePals and eChalk as two sites “designed
specifically for learning.”
College students can be notoriously connected to technology,
including social networking, through their smartphones, laptops,
and tablets. Social media in education presents college students
with different benefits and detriments compared to their younger
counterparts. According to Mashable, “Facebook is the most
used social media tool in higher education.” Additionally,
Mashable says that colleges can use social media to encourage
school spirit, foster the growth of alumni groups, and offer
virtual tours to potential students.
So whether it is a college student studying classic literature or a
grade school student first learning to read, technology is now an
integral part of the education process.

CLASSROOM TECHNOLOGY
Fri, 10/11/2013 - 11:27 -- jloftis94
From paper and pen to computers and keyboards, From chalk and blackboards to stylus's and
smartboards. Technology is taking over the classroom setting, And when it works, no one is
regretting the new classroom trending. Computers crashing, internet malfunction, Students complain
about the disruption. Technology is taking over the classroom setting, and when it doesn't work,
everyone is regretting on the new classroom tranding. Technology is fast and sparked up a trend,
but for the classroom it must halt to an end. Technology intertwined with the old fashion, is a great
idea and everlasting.

The Negative Effects of


Technology in the Classroom
and an Increasing Social
Stratification
MAY 1, 2018  / SSRABI20  / 0 COMMENTS
Shardha Maharaj 3 pieces of data
1) Magazine article Title: Violence in the Media: What Effects on
Behavior?
By Arline Kaplan from Psychiatric Times

“Violence in the media has been increasing and reaching proportions that are
dangerous,” said Emanuel Tanay, MD, a retired Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Wayne
State University and a forensic psychiatrist for more than 50 years.
“You turn on the television, and violence is there. You go to a movie, and violence is
there,” Tanay told Psychiatric Times. “Reality is distorted. If you live in a fictional world,
then the fictional world becomes your reality.”

The average American watches nearly 5 hours of video each day, 98% of which is
watched on a traditional television set, according to Nielsen Company. Nearly two-thirds
of TV programs contain some physical violence. Most self-involving video games
contain some violent content, even those for children. 1

Asked about the hundreds of murderers he has examined and possible links to
media violence, Tanay said, “Most homicides are committed by people who know
each other, and who have some momentary conflict and have a weapon handy.
Usually only hit men, who are very rare, kill strangers.”

The 2 teenage boys who murdered 12 schoolmates and a teacher and injured 21
others at Columbine High School in Colorado before killing themselves, he said,
lived in a pathological environment. “Their lives centered around violent video
games.”

2) Newspaper article Title: Movie violence can affect a teen’s life


By Times Reporter from The New York Times
Part of being a teenager involves social outings to see the latest movie with
friends and family. Other teenagers glue their eyes to movies at home.

While seeing a movie in the theatre or at home can be thrilling and


entertaining for a teen, some teens find themselves changed for the worse
after model movie plots in their own lives. Issues can arise when teens watch
too many movies or those films that are not appropriate for their age.Teens try
to emulate movie characters and scenarios without realising the fact that
sometimes these movie models are not always the best for teens and you
may not want to recognise or admit that, but it is a fact.While watching
movies, some teens try to be like their favourite characters, thinking they need
to change their body image and weight drastically to fit those of movie
characters. Problems can develop such as anorexia, obesity and general self-
esteem issues, while of course, you cannot stay away from all negative
messages in movies, but you can make sure you understand what can be
considered a negative message.Teens who spend too much time watching
movies can find themselves battling weight issues such as obesity. Obesity is
strongly linked to inactivity among teens that usually comes with spending too
much time in front of the movie theatre screen. Of course, the reverse can
occur in teens, thinking they need to lose excessive amounts of weight to look
like their favourite movie stars. Understand that what you see on movie
screens are not the ideals.Many of the movies targeted towards the teen
audience depict intense scenes of violence. Any viewer, especially a
teenager, can notice that violence and mirror it in their own lives, thinking it is
cool or in style. However, violence in movies can be detrimental especially at
a time when you are forming your own values.Teenagers that view violent
movies on a regular basis are exposed to images that can eventually lead to
desensitization. Teens might not recognise this effect, but violent movies have
been known to lead to bullying in school or violent behaviour at home.
Teenagers become desensitised to images of violence if they see their
favourite movie stars acting out violent and physically aggressive scenes on
the big screen, and you may not want to believe that, but there are real life
situations that can be attributed to this.While studies have shown that parents
are the top influences on a teenager’s behaviour, when a teen watches a
violent movie, they may become more inclined to act out what they are seeing
in their everyday life. While you surely have an understanding of right and
wrong, you may think it’s okay when you see someone using physical force to
hurt another human being. Watching violent movies can also cause increased
aggressive behaviour that can lead to problems down the road in terms of
getting into and even finishing high school. Movies are fiction and teens need
to understand that movies should not be basis for their decisions.Although
movies have some negative side effects, they do help one to relax especially
after quite long hours of studying.

3) Publication Title: Violence in the media: Psychologists study


potential harmful effects
From American Psychological Association

Television and video violence


Virtually since the dawn of television, parents, teachers, legislators, and
mental health professionals have wanted to understand the impact of
television programs, particularly on children. Of special concern has been the
portrayal of violence, particularly given psychologist Albert Bandura’s work in
the 1970s on social learning and the tendency of children to imitate what they
see.
As a result of 15 years of “consistently disturbing” findings about the violent
content of children’s programs, the Surgeon General’s Scientific Advisory
Committee on Television and Social Behavior was formed in 1969 to assess
the impact of violence on the attitudes, values, and behavior of viewers. The
resulting report and a follow-up report in 1982 by the National Institute of
Mental Health identified these major effects of seeing violence on television:
 Children may become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others.
 Children may be more fearful of the world around them.
 Children may be more likely to behave in aggressive or harmful ways
toward others.
Research by psychologists L. Rowell Huesmann, Leonard Eron, and others
starting in the 1980s found that children who watched many hours of violence
on television when they were in elementary school tended to show higher
levels of aggressive behavior when they became teenagers. By observing
these participants into adulthood, Huesmann and Eron found that the ones
who’d watched a lot of TV violence when they were 8 years old were more
likely to be arrested and prosecuted for criminal acts as adults.
Interestingly, being aggressive as a child did not predict watching more violent
TV as a teenager, suggesting that TV watching could be a cause rather than a
consequence of aggressive behavior. However, later research by
psychologists Douglas Gentile and Brad Bushman, among others, suggested
that exposure to media violence is just one of several factors that can
contribute to aggressive behavior.
Other research has found that exposure to media violence can desensitize
people to violence in the real world and that, for some people, watching
violence in the media becomes enjoyable and does not result in the anxious
arousal that would be expected from seeing such imagery.

Health Guide by Ann Pietrangelo: https://www.healthline.com/health/fast-food-effects-on-body?
utm_source=ReadNext#digestive-and-cardiovascular

Most fast food, including drinks and sides, are loaded with carbohydrates with little to no fiber.

When your digestive system breaks down these foods, the carbs are released as glucose
(sugar) into your bloodstream. As a result, your blood sugar increases.

Your pancreas responds to the surge in glucose by releasing insulin. Insulin transports sugar
throughout your body to cells that need it for energy. As your body uses or stores the sugar,
your blood sugar returns to normal.
This blood sugar process is highly regulated by your body. As long as you’re healthy, your
organs can usually handle these sugar spikes.

But frequently eating high amounts of carbs can lead to repeated spikes in your blood sugar.

Over time, these insulin spikes may cause your body’s normal insulin response to falter. This
increases your risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and weight gain.

Sugar and fat

Many fast food meals have added sugar. That means extra calories without added nutrition. The
American Heart Association, which referred to people as either men or women, suggests only
eating about 100 calories or 6 teaspoons of added sugar per day for women or 150 calories or 9
teaspoons for men.

Many fast food drinks alone contain more than the daily recommended amount of sugar. A 12-
ounce can of Coca-Cola contains 9.75 teaspoons of sugar. That equals 140 calories, 39 grams
of sugar, and no other nutrients.

With the growth of fast food restaurants and use of convenience food the notion of
Americanization of diets is also growing. Government and food industry are working to develop
the need of certain basic foods to reduce the international food shortages and nutrient
deficiency problems. The trend of eating away from home is increasing and the proportion of
money spent in restaurants has also increased.

On Clothes

Kahlil Gibran (Bsharri, Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate) – 1931 ( New York City)

And the weaver said, Speak to us of Clothes.

And he answered:

Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful.

And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy you may find in them a harness and a chain.

Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your skin and less of your raiment,

For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind.

Some of you say, “It is the north wind who has woven the clothes we wear.”

And I say, Ay, it was the north wind,

But shame was his loom, and the softening of the sinews was his thread.

And when his work was done he laughed in the forest.

Forget not that modesty is for a shield against the eye of the unclean.

And when the unclean shall be no more, what were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind?

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Chinese Designers Are Taking Centre Stage
The rest of the world is finally paying attention.

By Renée Tse

 
Date December 27, 2021

Global luxury brands may still be trying to figure out the one-size-fits-all equation for tapping
the elusive and prolific consumers in China, but Chinese designers have always had a leg up on
understanding what their country’s consumers are looking for — especially during the pandemic.

There’s no question that many still lust after the latest and greatest from international luxe
brands, but for today’s Gen Z shoppers, mixing cool emerging local designers with their
Chanels, Diors and Bottega Venetas has never had so much clout. With two Chinese designers,
Rui Zhou and Shuting Qiu, among the 20 names shortlisted for the semifinals of this year’s
LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers (a.k.a. one of the most prestigious fashion awards), a
new crop of designers is making waves by showcasing their talent and personality — and the rest
of the world is finally paying attention.

Take note of the following seven Chinese designers, including Next in Fashion alum Angel Chen
and up-and-coming N.Y.-based talent Private Policy. If they’re not on your radar already, they
should be.

RUI ZHOU of RUI

As one of the nine finalists for the 2021 LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers (and the first
Chinese designer to make it this far!), Rui Zhou has been a recent editorial favourite for daring It
girls. (See Dua Lipa on Rolling Stone’s February 2021 cover and Blackpink’s Lisa on Nylon
China’s January 2020 cover.) Known for her sensual asymmetric cut-out knitwear pieces held
together by tiny pearl beads, Zhou, a Parsons MFA graduate, is not only drawn to the idea of
imperfection but also showcases her own identity as a Chinese immigrant living in New York
City — navigating life abroad while maintaining long-distance relationships with her friends and
family back home in China — through her designs.

LI-NING. PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF IMAXTREE

LI NING of LI-NING

Former Olympic gymnast turned athleisurewear designer Li Ning founded his performance-first
label in 1990. Today, it’s known for its innovative designs and authentic tribute to Ning’s
nationality. (See the Chinese characters and traditional prints woven into the designs.) Although
not new per se, the sportswear brand was initially sold exclusively by luxury retailers in China,
but the global market took notice of its elevated and reconceptualized athletic designs for
everyday pieces — from clothes to footwear — and it has since been at the forefront of
performancewear and athleisurewear.

ANGEL CHEN FOR CANADA GOOSE. PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF CANADA


GOOSE

ANGEL CHEN of ANGEL CHEN

You may recognize this Central Saint Martins graduate as one of the inaugural contestants on
Netflix’s Next in Fashion. Chen was one half of the much-loved Dragon Princess duo; Minju
Kim, the other half, went on to win the show’s design competition. Although Chen, a Shenzhen
native, didn’t win the $250,000 prize, her bold designs, technical expertise and sustainable
practices certainly caught the attention of the world, including Canada Goose. The Canadian
outerwear giant tapped Chen to be its first-ever guest designer to create a capsule collection last
spring, which did so outstandingly well that she updated the assortment for fall.

SHUSHU/TONG. PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF IMAXTREE

LIUSHU LEI AND YUTONG JIANG of SHUSHU/TONG

After making their marks at Simone Rocha and Gareth Pugh, London College of Fashion MA
graduates Liushu Lei and Yutong Jiang joined forces in 2015 to start their Shanghai-based
womenswear label, Shushu/Tong. They design for the edgy modern young woman who is
playful and girlie at heart, so expect to see unabashedly feminine details (read “ruffles, bows and
tulle”) paired with bold silhouettes, adorned hardware and timeless tailoring techniques in their
collections.

PRIVATE POLICY. PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF IMAXTREE

HAORAN LI AND SIYING QU of PRIVATE POLICY

Founded by Chinese immigrants Haoran Li and Siying Qu, Private Policy is a New York-based
genderless brand known for its progressive and inclusive approach to fashion designs.
Combining Li’s know-how of fabric manipulation and Qu’s love for silhouettes, the Parsons
graduates use their collections as a medium to tell stories and start discussions on topics they are
inspired by; for example, for their Fall 2021 collection, they looked to the history of Chinese
immigrants in America during the 19th-century gold rush. With no set rules on who gets to wear
what, Private Policy is all about creating that playful Club Kids edge while giving the wearer the
freedom to customize their look.

SHUTING QIU. PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF IMAXTREE

SHUTING QIU of SHUTING QIU

Shanghai-based designer Shuting Qiu quickly became a talent to watch after graduating from the
Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. After her designs were featured on Mandopop singer
Jolin Tsai’s Ugly Beauty album cover, Net-a-Porter and Chinese-based retailers like Joyce raced
to stock the Hangzhou native’s colourful and eccentric designs. Qiu is influenced by world
cultures and paintings, and as a result, her designs are filled with vibrant colours, intricate
embroideries and bold patterns. We’re not surprised to see the likes of Katy Perry and Rita Ora
as fans of the brand. The two pop queens have been spotted in her looks — Perry even wore a
full look on the cover of her EP Cosmic Energy.

XIANG SHENG. PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF XIANG SHENG

MIN LIU of MS. MIN and XIAN SHENG

Recognized for her traditional meets contemporary designs and for intertwining delicate Chinese
aesthetics with modern functionality, Xiamen-based designer and London College of Fashion
alum Min Liu has been much loved for her creations since founding her brand in 2010. The once
womenswear-exclusive brand recently dipped its toes into the world of menswear with the debut
of Xian Sheng. Fittingly named, the line consists of tailor-made pieces inspired by traditional
Chinese motifs and Shanghainese tailoring for the modern gentleman. And the expansion doesn’t
stop there. Being an interior enthusiast himself, Toronto-born president and Xian Sheng creative
director Ian Hylton told Vogue Business that the fashion brand is hoping to expand into the
lifestyle arena.
