Marsalis criticizes culture on new CD NEW YORK - On Wynton Marsalis' upcoming CD, he criticizes political leadership in America, cultural corruption, and sex and violence in rap - and that's just on one song.
Spike Lee isn't a filmmaker who sits on the sidelines. His films get into the mix, whether the issue is Hurricane Katrina or race relations in Brooklyn. I've felt a strong connection with Lee since I studied film at his alma mater, New York University. NYU's film school, more precisely known as the Tisch School of the Arts, boasts an extraordinary collection of alumni, including Billy Crystal, John Cusack, Ethan Hawke, Woody Allen, Oliver Stone, the Coen Brothers, Meg Ryan, Martin Scorsese and M. Night Shyamalan. And Lee. Lee, who graduated in 1982, continues to haunt the halls, serving as the artistic director of the graduate division of the Kanbar Institute of Film and Television. Lee is part of an ever-growing contingent of filmmakers who are fiercely loyal to their New York roots, e...

Algeria, like many Arabic countries that were non-aligned during the Cold War, is still engaged in a struggle to maintain its political and cultural independence. Given the sheer power of American cultural and economic hegemony, this is not easy for a North African nation of 30 million who gained their independence only in 1962 and have since suffered a decade of violence in the name of political religion. Since America got a taste of Islamist violence on 9/11, it may appear that Algerians, who have suffered civil terror for such a long time from the same quarter, would naturally sympathize with its victims across the Atlantic. While this is true to a degree, the reaction is far more complex.
. Does my generation have a role in America's future?" I am sure this question has been asked for many years and that each generation has affected America in both positive and negative ways. However, I feel that my generation will change the future of America in many positive ways. I believe that the twenty-first century is very unique, and that young adults like myself are being challenged to be creative, hard working, and focused. Some of the ways America's future will be affected by my generation are new medical developments; harsher laws on abusive spouses or parents; a higher standard of education; stronger families; more political involvement; curtailed drug abuse and violence; and creation of more jobs.
A handful of violent acts against a woman and her family could amount to political persecution, found the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday. The panel noted inconsistencies in the family's testimonies, however, that could pose a problem for their asylum claim. Aminta Barco Corado and her two children, Jose and Karen Aquino Barco, left their homeland of Guatemala in 1994 following an eruption of political violence. Problems for her family arose from their visible participation in Union del Centro Nacional. They fled to America, where they filed for asylum three months after their arrival.

America is a violent country. It makes sense that our political culture should be violent, too. "No other country with a population of over 50 million has had as high a number of political assassinations or attempted assassinations," reports the website Digital History. After die violence in Tucson, Arizona Republican congressman Trent Franks expressed his wish that there had been even more violence - "one more gun that day, in the hands of a responsible person." Other "responsible" citizens apparently agreed. According to the FBI, the day after the massacre, gun sales jumped 60 percent in Arizona and S percent nationally. To conservatives, sociological, economic or political explanations for sad lives or bad deeds are excuses, plain and simple. Ecce, Rush Limbaugh's diatribe against th...
