A Graduation Story
|
By Paul Gaszak Chicago English Faculty Last month I participated in my first graduation as an RMC teacher. Granted, I didn’t do much; I showed up to the Arie Crown Theater, put on my cap and gown, and sat on stage hidden behind several rows of individuals throughout the ceremony. However, it was an exciting experience. After attending a number of graduations as a student, I got the chance to see it from the teacher’s perspective. And with my prior experience, I finally had the common sense to appreciate the moment going into the event. |

End Homophobia: Marriage is a basic
human right No one knows exactly when or how homosexuality entered into human history, but one sure thing is that homosexuals come from all racial, ethnic, economic and religious backgrounds. They are lawyers, athletes, film stars, television personalities, teachers and co-workers. Many of them are forced to hide “in the closet” and are told that it is wrong and dirty to have homosexual feelings; therefore, some homosexuals disguise their true feelings, causing them to feel like lost souls. Some may feel like something is terribly wrong with them, because that is what everybody is saying. They fear being found out, being called names and maybe even assaulted. Art is participating in the intensification of violence In today’s news, it’s hard not to notice the increase of violence in our society. Violence dominates the minds of many people today, mainly the youth. The reasons for this violence are diverse, but I’ve come to realize that art has a big role in it. Art has seen an incredible development in so many areas, such as video games, comic books, and cartoon animations. Although art is not the origin of violence, I deeply believe that art is now participating in the intensification of violence and the destruction of moral values in our society. |

news rag, and upon turning
to the last page I learned
something extremely interesting.
I learned that television
star Spencer Pratt
recently dissed Mary-Kate
Olsen, a high school
acquaintance of his, in the
most recent edition of Us
magazine. |
