  On Friday, April 8th I attended Session 3 of PAIDEIA at the student research conference at CNU Paideia was started in 1971 by a group of parents that wanted to educate their kids with a sense of individuality that’s centered around adapting to their learning styles at different rates. The ancient word “Paideia'' conveys the ancient Greek concept that covers three fundamental aspects of education which include intellectual, artistic, and social. I attended the 2:00pm to 3:00pm panel session on American and Leadership studies in Room 1213 of the Library. During Keelyn Graves's presentation on “ James Baldwin: Social Critique Through Individualism”, he discusses how the role of James Baldwin  as a civil rights leader was overshadowed r during the civil rights movement because he was a homosexual black man. He was considered a fair representation of the middle ground in between the polarization of political parties, however, he was forced to choose between his sexual orienta...

Overview: Social Media has impacted the role of how we as human beings communicate with each other as society emerges into the digital age and the results have been simultaneously unifying and isolating.

  I can't believe Donda 2 is only exclusive on the Stem-player, those things are like $200! #Donda2  Man, they got Jack Harlow, Migos, AND Soulja boy up on this jaunt. CRAZY.  https://twitter.com/madeitnewztv/status/1496327412510085121  #Donda2 Kanye is a genius for releasing Donda 2 on the Stem Player, he earned $2 million more in revenue than he would if he released it on streaming services. He's really having artists taking back their voices. #Donda2  The set for the Donda 2 listening party goes hard! #Donda2 It's kinda sketchy that Ye put Marilyn Manson on the album surrounding all the controversy. What can I say, Ye feeds off controversy #Donda2  Kanye has really been off the rails lately with his divorce and all, but man is Donda 2 fire. Crazy = Genius. #Donda2 Can't believe this is going to be the first album Kanye released that's not on streaming services! #Donda2  As expensive as it is, the Stemp Player really does change the listening experie...

       In regards to my final project, I have found different clips and articles that include different perspectives of the Jeen-Yuhs documentary which provides insight on how The College Dropout is viewed in the modern day. I have put together a description of a handful of songs from The College Dropout  to discuss how their cultural significance at the time contributes to the modern day. I have also put together a series of questions that includes: How does Jeen-Yuhs documentary impact the listening experience of The College Dropout ? How did The College Dropout ultimately contribute to bridging hip hop to mainstream culture? How does The College Dropout reflect certain characteristics of Kanye West' that led him to be successful?  How have these characteristics influenced other artists to take similar paths? Why were some of his songs such as " All Falls Down" originally looked over? What was the significance of the narrative of The College Dropout?...

    "Jeen-Yuhs" Press Release       Jeen-Yuhs is a Kanye West Trilogy that invites the audience to view live footage of Kanye West's rise of popularity  and concentrates on his qualities as a person that led him to persevere in the hip hop industry as "a misfit". This footage was planned to be taken to document his rise to fame  before Kanye West was ever a house hold name which makes the documentary all the more astounding to experience him manifest his career before our own eyes. A  Vanity Fair Article   discusses the role of Donda West in  Jeen-Yuhs  as influential factor in his career. The documentary provides footage of intimate interactions of Kanye West with his mother, Donda West, who is the person who Kanye credits the most for his success, and named his most recent albums,  Donda  and  Donda 2 , after. These interactions allows the audience to see how much his mother meant to him as she s...
