For this article, I do not entirely agree with the author’s intend upon writing it. Although Pluralism is a subjective concept that is being widely used in colleges and universities today, there is no issue with the teaching of equitable standards in the classrooms. Equity, in all standards, should be recognized in all grade level classrooms, because recognizing one’s privilege and difference between their peers is essential to gaining an appreciation for diversity. Pluralism should not be used to degrade a student for their opinions, but rather teach them the significance of difference in the world in which they live. One’s taste in music or art is not on the same caliber of social equity preference. It is quite possible that I am misinterpreting what the author is attempting to say; yet, it seems to me that he/she is questioning the power of Pluralism too literally.

We are hoping that, someday, the Trump administration will change the way they present themselves to their citizens, but we all rightfully assume that we are living four years of unrepresentational, unforgiving, unwarranted Hell. Students our age are left to pick up the piec...

Five Years From Now

Within five years from now, I am graduated from Temple with a Visual Studies major and a Political Science minor with a certificate in Community Development. At this point in my life, I am new to the jobs that are set before me in my life. Right now, I will be living in an apartment in Philadelphia or just outside of the city, with a special someone or friends, because of specific job opportunities that have been set before me. In reality, I am working for a Philadelphia firm that aids social betterment through art: possibly a mural paining program for kids, becoming an artistic director of a building, or even starting my path to becoming a lobbyist for an artistic cause. I am on the way to becoming successful, but I am happy being the person I want to be. Overall, I know that I can not have everything planned out and set within five years from now, but I want to have an idea of what I'm planning on doing and where I want to go. By this point, the person who is Olivia Hailey Smith ...
