Yale head scarf muslim video

I believe that this is an external conflict because there is conflict between the u.s and Muslim people over covering one's body up for religious purposes.

Globalization creates conflict when one culture and/or religion disagrees with another cultures ways or beliefs. This conflict is created because of the strive for cultures to dominate others and have their ways. She means globalization has only flown in one direction because of the western world being the standard for everybody else, and nobody else having a say.

The benefit she says that we do get from globalization is role models from the west and in movies and media that set standards and examples on how to live and behave.

She mentions the Quran  and the constitution.

Utopia

In my own words a utopia is a perfect peaceful world where conflict is nonexistent and everyone and everything is happy.


My ideal world would be a world where money and laws don't exist because everybody shares everything, and everybody loves everybody. This world would have challenges and competition but those challenges and competitions would be healthy and good for everybody.

The soundtrack that would play to my ideal world would be the beach boys sounds of summer because it is an always happy but chill album that would go along with the behavior and lifestyle of the people in my ideal world.

Built to Spill "you were right" claims

The lyrical content of this song was intended to be sad and not rhyme because the lyrics have words such as depression, mess, this is the end, and wrong. They are all words associated with sadness, and also there's no rhyme pattern to the song.

The musical content of this song uses a background of drawn out distorted tones that make the song sad because the tones are almost like a sigh of sadness and give you that tired sad feeling

The songs overall effectiveness is good and very sad because of the sad lyrics, no rhyming, and sad musical tones.
