Greg Graffin
The band Bad religion was formed in the early eighties and has now been around over 15 years and has released over eight albums, the lead singer has continued his schooling and now has one bachelors degree ,a masters and is working on his Ph.D.
Greg Graffin was born in 1965 in Wisconsin. His mother and father were divorced after his birth. In 1976 his mother his brother and him moved to San
Fernando valley California, which is now the punk rock capital of the world.
"Like millions of other victims of divorce in the seventies I had to deal with the fact that my father was now living far away(In Racine, Wisconsin) and that I would not get to see him very much." While his father was in Wisconsin he began work at the university of Wisconsin as a professor. He still works their today.
Greg was often picked on in high school because of his "Punkness". "There were three people at my high school who were punkers, I mean I got beat up everyday by long haired people who listened to Rush and would beat me up because I didn't.
When he was fifteen he started a band with other social outcasts who didn't quite fit in. They settled on the name BAD RELIGION.
Bad Religion does not pertain to any kind of sacrilegious activities or the like. Instead it is a statement against any establishment that promotes dogmatic thinking or punishes individualism and rewards followers. Greg once said in an interview "Instead of rewarding uniqueness we, for some reason probably because of cultural and social necessity, we chastise unique behavior and reward conformity". On 15/10/93 Greg said BR has 108 songs and 5 or 6 are about religious issues.
Greg has a very different view point about education then most punks.
When the band broke up in 1983 he moved back to Wisconsin and attend the university of wisconsin-madison. soon the administration had found out that he was not an official resident any longer so he was kicked out. (he had recently spent several years as a California resident) He traveled back to California where he was a resident and attended school at UCLA. in 1987 he received his masters degree in geology. He had previously received his Masters degree in
Anthropology and a his B.Sc. in geology. This work was very field oriented since he had to study fossils to get the degrees. In 1990 he transferred to
Cornell University (in Ithica where he currently lives) for a Ph.D.. It will be a biology degree, but since he studies fossils it will be evolutionary biology-
At 22, after two-thirds of a year at Berea College in West Virginia, he returned to the coalmines and studied Latin and Greek between trips to the mineshafts.

In the 2006 hit movie Alpha Dog Emile Hirsch plays the role of a young marijuana dealer named Johnny Truelove. Supplied by his father Sonny, Johnny distributed marijuana to buyers with the help of his closest friends . This act of deviancy gave him power and authority over the people In his life. Even so much authority that he could have someone killed by just a simple request. Throughout the film there were many characters that played a critical role in the kidnapping and murder of Zack Mazursky. However Johnny 's character stands out the most to me mainly because even though his criminal behavior prevailed he portrayed both delinquent and charismatic acts throughout the film. What was even more intriguing to me was how his character continued

There are numerous views on the concept of single sex schools, and if they are beneficial or actually detrimental to the students who attend. Autin (2015) states that while it is normal for public schools to be coeducational, many private and parochial schools have been operating single sex schools for many years. One of the many main controversial topics when discussing these schools is stereotyping. From the pros to the cons, this paper will touch base on many different views as to how students can be affected positively or negatively by attending these single sex schools.
The debate on whether single sex schools provide a better education than co-ed schools has been going on for as long as school has been invented. It is said that a lot of times, students who attend single sex schools are better educated, more confident in their abilities, and over all better prepared to enter the outside world after leaving high school; especially females. While this argument may be true, it is also obvious that students of co-ed schools are better adjusted when it comes to social aspects with the opposite sex, that are also a big part of life after high school. These days’ women and men, a majority of the time work together in the workplace. As women continue to take on more prominent roles outside the home, the ability to successfully work together becomes increasingly important. Both co-ed and single sex schools have their advantages and disadvantages but overall the advantages and benefits of attending a single sex school outweigh the disadvantages tremendously. Single sex schools provide students with not only a better education but a better understanding of their capabilities and skills, making them the best option in terms of most aspects.
Though in today’s world it is less and less acceptable to categorize and put labels on certain individuals, some of us still do it and possibly even unconsciously. Consequently, there are devastating outcomes to this. A law student from the University of Texas, Kelsey R. Chapple, claims that “stereotypes shape our perceptions of what choices are available to us” (563). We shouldn’t limit the choices and possibilities to children because they are a boy or because they are a girl. Ultimately, what is at stake here is our future. The minds of these children are currently being shaped and sculpted in our public schools today. We cannot have our children thinking that they can’t become or do something just because they are a boy or girl. Single-sex schooling embodies sex stereotyping and with this in mind, I fear for our
People think that they are pious, virtuous, knowledgeable, intellectual, just, and more but in actuality and reality are they really and how can they find out? This is why through the generations of mankind have been blessed with the minds of the “Great philosophers.” We know about the “Great philosophers” through documents or books they wrote or others close to them witnessed and documented. One of the “Great philosophers” by the name of Socrates helped out people he meet with asking them questions and trying to define words, adjectives, or emotions they thought their lives reflected. Socrates famous statement, “The unexamined life is not worth living”(Apology, 38a), caused controversy between philosophers on the true meaning of his statement.
