Final Presentations Continued

    Third Day of Presentations!  
    These presentations were particularly interesting because they covered topics not specifically addressed in class. Alex talked about the role of sport, particularly "football," in the Israeli/Palestinian relations.  I had no idea that teams had specific rules on racial composition or that some violence within Israel stems directly from sport competitions.  Chris's presentation (a wonderfully designed PREZI!) was on the Underground, a subculture or counterculture existing outside of pop culture.  It was enlightening to see how groups within the conflict use rap and parkour as a means of expressing themselves and their feelings about the conflict without actually protesting or using violence.
  Wonderful information!
