Sinopsis

In "Education and the Good Life," Bertrand Russell presents a profound exploration of the relationship between education and the pursuit of a fulfilling existence.

On the Wrong Side - How...

Nicole Bedera

THIS EXPLOSIVE INVESTIGATION REVEALS THE PROFOUND FAILURES OF THE TITLE IX SYSTEM AND IDENTIFIES THE STEPS WE CAN TAKE TO PROTECT STUDENTS 
 
On the Wrong Side provides the first comprehensive account of the inner workings of the secretive Title IX system. Drawing on a yearlong study of survivors, perpetrators, and the administrators who oversaw their cases, sociologist Nicole Bedera exposes the structures that predictably punish survivors who come forward in the service of protecting—or even rewarding—their perpetrators. She reveals that the system tasked with ending gender inequality on campus only intensifies it, upending survivors’ lives and threatening their degrees. 
 
Equally heartbreaking and optimistic, On the Wrong Side makes it easy to imagine life-changing interventions for the next generation of students by proposing specific solutions to the structural problems of Title IX. Bedera proves that ending campus sexual violence is within our grasp—and dares us to be courageous enough to take action. 
 
“Nicole Bedera is one of the most important thinkers of our time about sexual violence on campus. I am grateful for her work.”—Peggy Orenstein, New York Times–bestselling author of Boys & Sex: Young Men on Hookups, Love, Porn, Consent, and Navigating the New Masculinity

Trivia Hub

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
High School Musical is a 2006 American musical television film produced by Disney Channel. The film stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, and follows students Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez as they audition for the school musical, causing division among the school's social cliques. The film's success led to sequels, spin-offs, a television series, and stage adaptations. It premiered on January 20, 2006, and generated 7.7 million viewers in the U.S., breaking the then-record for the highest premiere for the network. The film's soundtrack was also a commercial success. High School Musical is considered a modern adaptation of Romeo & Juliet. The film's success has had a significant impact on the Disney Channel and its programming.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
High School Musical was conceived after writer Peter Barsocchini was inspired by a high school basketball teammate who wanted to be a ballet dancer. This idea of a basketball player also having musical aspirations became the central theme of the movie.
The movie's development was also influenced by the success of musical episodes in Disney Channel's Even Stevens and That's So Raven. Disney executives recognized the appeal of the musical format among their young audience.
High School Musical was filmed in Utah, using East High School and Murray High School as primary locations. Additional filming took place in Los Angeles.
The movie's budget was a relatively low $4.2 million, but its success led Disney Channel to increase budgets for future television films. This allowed the network to develop more "tentpole" movies based on music or popular franchises.
