Wright 1 OFF THE ROAD Imperialism And Exploration In The American Road Movie “Road movies are too cool to address serious socio-political issues. Instead, they express the fury and suffering at the extremities of a civilized life, and give their restless protagonists the false hope of a one-way ticket to nowhere.” –Michael Atkinson, quoted in “The Road Movie Book” (1). “‘Imperialism’ means the practice, the theory, and the attitudes of a dominating metropolitan center ruling a distant territory; ‘colonialism’, which is almost always a consequence of imperialism, is the implanting of settlements on distant territory” –Edward Said, Culture and Imperialism (9) “I am still a little bit scared of flying, but I am definitely far more scared of all the disgusting trash in between places” -Cy Amundson, This Is Not Happening “This is gonna be exactly like Eurotrip, except it’s not gonna suck” -Kumar Patel, Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay Wright 2 Off The Road Abstract: This essay explores the imperialist nature of the American road movie as it is defined by the film’s era of release, specifically through the lens of how road movies abuse the lands that are travelled through.

  • Kofi Annan Brings Inspirational 2012 One Young World Summit to Successful Close
    KOFI ANNAN BRINGS INSPIRATIONAL 2012 ONE YOUNG WORLD SUMMIT TO SUCCESSFUL CLOSE Pittsburgh passes baton to Johannesburg, South Africa, site of 2013 Summit PITTSBURGH, Oct. 22, 2012 – On Sunday, the One Young World Summit ended much as it began – with fanfare, inspiring dialogue about critical global issues and a much-repeated call to action for tomorrow’s leaders to “create the future.” Kofi Annan, former secretary-general of the United Nations, addressed the 1,300 One Young World delegates, which he called “almost another United Nations,” except with stronger voices and younger. Annan encouraged the delegates from more than 180 countries to become good global citizens. He emphasized that no one needs to begin by tackling big issues. Rather, they can begin small, in their own communities, and recounted his own start as a teenager organizing a hunger strike. Annan went on to share experiences during his time at the center of the world stage, including conflicts in Somalia, Rwanda, Iraq and, most recently, Syria. Annan faced hard-hitting questions from delegates, including why the United Nations does not actively try to stop the Syrian conflict. The question came from a Turkish delegate who lives in a small town recently bombed. “I’m convinced that there is no military solution,” Annan said of the Syrian conflict. “What is required is a political settlement. We need to assure the fighting groups that there is an alternative.” During a session on global business, One Young World delegates were motivated by Counsellors Doug Richard (founder, School for Startups); Glenn Manoff (director, social business and sustainability, Telefonica); Michael Hastings (global head of citizenship, KPMG); and Carole Stone (managing director, YouGovStone).

  • Competitors Taste Their Way to Victory in New High-Stakes Primetime Series Money Hungry, Hosted by Kal Penn
    Contact : Lauren Sklar Phone : 646-336-3745, Email : [email protected] COMPETITORS TASTE THEIR WAY TO VICTORY IN NEW HIGH-STAKES PRIMETIME SERIES MONEY HUNGRY, HOSTED BY KAL PENN Five-Episode Series Airs Sneak Peek on Sunday, July 25th at 10pm ET/PT Then Moves to Regular Timeslot Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT NEW YORK – June 15, 2021 – In the ultimate test of their taste buds, talented chefs, restaurant critics, cookbook authors and accomplished home cooks are competitors vying to win $50,000 in the new high-stakes primetime Food Network show Money Hungry, which airs a sneak peek on Sunday, July 25th at 10pm (all times ET/PT) before moving to its regular timeslot on Tuesday, July 27th at 10pm. In the five-episode series hosted by Kal Penn, competitors showcase their impressive palates in a series of increasingly complex tasting challenges that push their senses and culinary knowledge to the limits. With each dish dramatically revealed under a cloche, the action begins with sixty seconds of rapid-fire tastings where the competitors must identify specific ingredients, then proceeds to the main course round where the challenges become more difficult with every reveal. Each episode has two guest panelists, who are available to provide limited use “flavor favors” lifelines to competitors. In the end, only those that survive through the final tasting are awarded $50,000. “Kal's charm, smarts and enthusiasm about food make him the perfect host for Money Hungry," said Courtney White, President, Food Network and Cooking Channel. "We know our viewers will love him in this unexpected role." “I am obsessed with the ways in which food tells stories, so hosting Money Hungry is a lot of fun," said Penn.

    Season’s Greetings With lost kids, dysfunctional families and too much food, the holidays have always been a perfect backdrop for comedy, drama and even action.

Indian-Americans back Obama in a big way Asian-Americans approve of Obama's performance more than the national average and rate Romney considerably poorly. Last Modified: 02 Nov 2012 06:36 Page 1 of 4 11/3/12 10:16 AM According to a recent survey of Asian-American citizens, Obama holds a large lead despite his lacklustre performance in the first debate, which has led to a late Romney surge [Reuters] Kal Penn, neither a distant cousin of the Academy Award winner Sean Penn nor a remote descendant of the English merchant William Penn, has been stumping for President Obama. He will be at the University of Pennsylvania on November 4, two days before the election, to get out the vote. The name "Kal Penn", derived from the Gujarati Kalpan Suresh Modi, ties the Indian-American actor of Harold and Kumar fame. The last name "Penn" is not just any other name. It is the root word for Pennsylvania, the original colony founded by William Penn, a real estate entrepreneur, Quaker philosopher, and an advocate of democracy and religious freedom. Penn was well-known for his good relations with the Indians, as seen in the classical engraving from 1681, "William Penn's Treatise with the Indians" (that is American-Indians). Alas, history has come full circle - Christopher Columbus has finally discovered the Indians he was searching for in the actor and comedian Kal Penn - thanks to President Obama! Asian-Americans back Obama According to a recent survey of Asian-American citizens, Obama holds a large lead despite his lacklustre performance in the first debate, which has led to a late Romney surge.
