What, among the media industry, attracts attention most in our society? Action? Love? Conflict? Resolution? In my experience, people are drawn to anything that moves their emotions. While this is incredibly multifaceted, the conceptual theme is more or less the same. Stories gain public attention when they are labeled as moving, exciting, powerful, important, etc.
Remember first learning about the Holocaust? Whether you had a parent explain it to you, or a guest speaker at school, it was surreal. It’s rare that something can penetrate the hearts and minds of young kids, to strip away from them their immature nature and make them really think seriously. Wasn’t this how we all reacted to hearing about the Holocaust? Dead seriousness. I don’t remember anybody goofing around or making jokes in school, or myself wanting to go outside and play rather than hear about it. It transcends youth, immaturity and innocence. On a visceral level, as a young kid you realize the magnitude of it. As a result my first question, and I’m sure I wasn’t alone, was why did people let this happen?
Imagine a world where characteristics that make us “different” are invisible. Race, gender, sexual orientation and religion are all inconceivable. Instead, what one sees in another is pure equality.
Many people can push their mind or body to the limit, but very few people can push their mind and body past their breaking point and continue moving forward.
Life is a culmination of indescribable virtue and value regardless of gender, appearance, race or age. Because of its importance, our society often demands the essentiality of reproduction. However, as countries develop and the standard of living climbs, people are beginning to choose to have less children. According to The Economist, people are not reproducing enough to create a stable successive generation or to have a smooth population transition. The frustration toward the changing view of human reproduction often takes an ironic turn, and oppresses the people who are not at fault.
Discouraging. Disturbing. Disrespectful. Disgusting. These are a few words used by the Committee on Student Organizations and the international fraternity Sigma Chi to describe the recent actions of UW-Madison’s chapter of the fraternity.
It’s no secret: There is a strong divide between urban and rural Wisconsin, between Madison and Milwaukee and the rest of Wisconsin. And recently, the divide has only been growing.
This coming week, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the president of the United States. His road to the White House has been a long and rocky one, but to the shock of many Americans and people around the world, Jan. 20 he will be sworn into the Oval Office.
Let me take a moment of your valuable time to talk about memes.
UW-Madison’s spring course guide has been available for more than two months, but some legislators recently raised concerns about next semester’s offerings, particularly about an African languages and literature class called “The Problem of Whiteness.”
I have a dirty little secret. My secret could inspire public ridicule the likes of which I’ve not yet personally experienced. Given the third-class status of intellectual freedom in the state of Wisconsin, my secret could very possibly cost me a job that I love. But, in the spirit of my love for teaching and people, I’m going to share it anyway.
ASM delivers early voting to students
About once or twice a month, shared governance committees meet to discuss plans for campus projects and changes. Topics discussed range from student health to building expansions and improvements, along with campus climate and academic planning. Each committee serves a unique purpose, but every committee seats a number of students who serve to represent the student voice alongside university staff, academic staff and faculty. The work done on shared governance committees is extremely important, but very much is unknown by students not directly involved in the process.
We have lost a lot here in Wisconsin. The dignity of working women was attacked on Election Day when the state voted to re-elect a U.S. senator who has voted against pay equity five times. Black students on campus were dehumanized when attendees of a UW-Madison football game brought a noose and metaphorically hung our black president.
Sunday, the Army Corp of Engineers announced that the North Dakota Access pipeline would not be immediately granted permission to pass through the Missouri River next to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota.
UW-Madison is an extremely liberal place. This is neither a good or bad thing, it’s just how it is. Recent initiatives by the university have aimed to increase the diversity of the student body and create a welcoming place for people of color.
Each year, dozens of websites and companies across the world aim to rank universities through a slew of categories, from top 10 party schools to best liberal arts colleges. Most of these Buzzfeed-style listicles are nothing more than clickbait. Last week, however, UW-Madison discovered one less thing to be thankful for this holiday season: The university dropped from its spot as a top-five research institution for the first time in 45 years.
Donald Trump’s historic election portends massive changes at many levels of the government. The environmental sector may be most at risk. Many changes will arise as new leaders are put in positions of power—their actions may erase decades of progress, rendering the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and various other agencies weak. It’s up to private citizens and other countries to now take matters into their own hands.
After spending a sunny afternoon at the playground with some of the boys in my hometown, someone said to me, “It would have been nice if you were born a boy instead of a girl.” I was six or seven years old at the time, and it was at this point in my life that I felt a little off about my identity.
The proliferation of fake news this past election cycle is alarming. This is especially the case on Facebook, where over half of the adult population in America has an account and millions of these individuals use social media to get their news.
