  The Pursuit of Happyness Ni Macoushla Mae L. Secuya   l. INTRODUKSIYON Sa direksyon ni Gabriele Muccino — isang Italyano na film director , Ang The Pursuit of Happyness ay ginanap noong 1981 San Francisco. Ang maling spelling na pamagat (orihinal mula sa aklat ni Gardner) ay kinuha mula sa isang 1776 na sanaysay ni Lemuel Haynes na siyang humihimok na ang mga puti at itim ay nilikhang pantay. Ito ay inilabas noong Disyembre 15, 2006 ngunit sa Pilipinas ito ay inilabas makalipas ang ilang buwan noong Marso 14, 2007.   II.

  One of the biggest, most influential pop stars that has graced the world with her talent. A literal icon , she is. Madonna Louise Ciccone is an American singer-songwriter and actress. Often referred to as the “Queen of Pop” and rightfully so, her tracks have been pushing the limits of her stardom higher and higher. An absolute legend. In 1978, she moved to New York pursuing a career in modern dance. After performing as a drummer, guitarist and vocalist in the rock bands Breakfast Club and Emmy, she made a name for herself as going solo while pumping out a series of all-time bestselling albums. Her various works which I suppose some would find controversial incorporate social, political, sexual, and religious themes all packaged in her incredible and incredibly meta pieces. Musical career aside, another thing that further pushed up her popularity was her roles in various films such as Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) , Dick Tracy (1990) , A League of Their Own (1992) , and...

  The internet and its contents have a heavy and usually poor influence on how our youths perceive real marriages and relationships as a whole, especially without parental guidance. According to Zwier (2012, as cited in Banaag, M. E. K. G., et al.), Adolescents, through their own unique ways do explore the expectations and standards that society has expected of them through the information they consume from both mass and social media. Apart from the body image issues that are also a prevailing problem amongst teens, especially young girls, there are also limiting social boxes that society puts them in. What about relationships? The first real world relationships that many adolescents see are of course their parents or guardians. The way these significant figures in their lives present themselves will have the biggest impact on what they perceive as normal and ideal. As they grow older, they will be more and more exposed to the concepts and ideals of which society holds up as the ...

Each country and their regions all have their own brand of music. Even if some may sound similar or have stemmed from the same genre, people always have a way of making it their own and refining it in ways that others cannot. Music truly is a magical blessing.  Among the many music forms of Africa, the one that really caught my attention was the Makossa genre. Makossa, known for being a funky dance music and quite literally meaning "I dance" in the Douala language had first started molding itself in the 1950s, it uses strong electric bass rhythm as well as having prominent brass. As the 1960s rolled in, the Makossa music genre had become the most popular in Cameroon. Later, the genre, despite some controversial artists, had become more and more popular and widespread to mainstream audiences. African music, much like most forms of music is made for a variety of things, whether it be events, protests, entertainment, etc. But the Makossa genre is generally made for entertainment...

 

  “Ang kalayaan ay ang magkaroon ng kaligayahang nais mo kaysa sa kaligayahang sinabi ng lipunan na gusto mo.”   Habang sinusulat ko ang sanaysay na ito, hindi lamang ako nakatayo bilang isa sa mga kabataan ngunit din bilang isang babae sa lipunan ngayon. Sa loob ng maraming daang siglo, ang mga kababaihan ay nakikita lamang bilang mga bagay ng pagnanasa, mga tropeong mananalo, at syempre, bilang property . Sa nakaraan, kung ang isang babae ay magsasalita ng kanyang opinyon o gumawa ng isang bagay na isasaalang-alang sa itaas ng kanyang antas ng talino, siya ay akusahan ng pangkukulam at maparusahan nang husto dahil dito. Sa katunayan, kahit na nagsimula ang panahon ng black and white telebisyon, ang mga kababaihan ay hindi pinapayagan na bumoto tungkol sa pinaniniwalaan na hindi sila sapat na matalino o sapat na lohikal upang pumili ng isang pampulitikang lider. Kung napakahirap na maging isang babae ng nakaraan, ano pa kapag ikaw ay isang woman of color ? Ang kasa...
