A Hard Dayââ¬â¢s Night- A Study in Fame, Paranoia, and Claustrophobia
Who among us has not known about the Beatles, or know about their impact in regular society. Their music fills lifts far and wide, there have been a huge number of books and motion pictures recorded itemizing each occasion of their own and expert lives, and who canââ¬â¢t oppose singing alone, if just faintly, at whatever point we hear these great songs.To watch the film A Hard Dayââ¬â¢s Night, featuring the Beatles, made at the stature of their prominence, your first idea is this is a film to advance the Beatles and show their music.They are developed men, going around, having a fabulous time amidst a rushed way of life that fruitful entertainers live. They apparently donââ¬â¢t have a consideration on the planet, however simply need to appear and begin playing their music on schedule, with much eagerness, while their director, George Martin, does all the stressing for them.While the film is engaging, and has some extraordinary, full length renditions of great Beatles music, the fundamental subject is that of 4 developed men, managing the limitations and dissatisfactions of gigantic notoriety and popularity.They are not permitted to wander indiscriminately about the city, or on the train they are riding, because of a paranoid fear of being overwhelmed with groupies. Rather they are liable to do what George Martin advises them to do, on the grounds that after all he is their ââ¬Ëmanagerââ¬â¢, as though 4 developed men need somebody to deal with their own lives just as their professional.Their notoriety is so overpowering, it as a rule incapacitates individuals who run into them unconsciously. At the point when John Lennon meets a lady on the train who is reclaimed on the grounds that she knows ââ¬Å"itââ¬â¢s himâ⬠, he more than once denies it, and says he just seems as though him. They start a discussion about how John isn't generally the persona of John Lennon the Beatle, yet by then he is John Lennon the private individual, who needs to become more acquainted with the lady he just met, the lady, is demanding that she is correct and knows John Lennon when she sees him.After a couple of trades, John persuades her that he just looks like John the Beatle, she winds up admitting, ââ¬Å"You donââ¬â¢t truly appear as though him at all.â⬠Once she presumes that, she isn't keen on him anymore.This is the noticeable subject that is introduced concerning their acclaim. When perceived, individuals donââ¬â¢t truly like them by any stretch of the imagination. Around then, they were condemned for having long hair, for wearing interesting garments, being reckless and for the most part defying society by and large. Today is mellow to us, however around then they were radicals.This topic is seen again as Ringo is strolling down the road. From the start he is perceived and flees from a youthful, female fan. At the point when he ventures out of an outfit shop wearing a mask, he addresses a similar lady who currently instru cts him to ââ¬Å"get lost.â⬠One of the downsides of their popularity is that in light of the fact that their own life is inspected so intently, and their internal most contemplations and sentiments are put to music, stirring the equivalent solid emotions in others, by one way or another complete outsiders feel as if they can approach them and act like they have a deep understanding of every one, right away.This causes an extraordinary feeling of agitated inconvenience in the lives of the Beatles. They are urgently trying all through the entire film to be comprehended and acknowledged for exactly who they are.At the hour of this motion pictures discharge, in 1964, there were numerous enormous social changes going on around the globe. Music before the Beatles, except for Elvis Presley, was fundamentally either an independent artist, or a 3 piece band playing moderate music, that was well choreographed.When the Beatles went ahead stage, out of nowhere there were 4 instruments mak ing a boisterous, driving beat, with verses that talked about adoration and want, dissimilar to anything that was ever heard before in standard America. Their passageway into this nation is in many cases alluded to as the ââ¬ËBeatles Explosionââ¬â¢.John Lennon himself expressed that they were progressively mainstream the Jesus Christ around then. The announcement itself worked up significantly more acclaim, and more consideration be it fortunate or unfortunate stoking the fire. It appeared as if everything they might do was reported, imitated, and profited by any way that could be available.

Social Media and Undergraduate College Admissions TKG
Social Media and Undergraduate College Admissions Dear Student: Donât Get Mad at Your Parents.If youâre reading this we bet that someone in your family just had a tough conversation that made you mad: they talked to you about your social media presence. More likely than not, someone told you that you needed to either edit or take down your account completely. We get itâ"itâs annoying being told what to do. And itâs even more annoying being asked to take down something that you've worked hard on.Social media is the 2018 way of communicating with othersâ"with your friends, the world, and beyond. Unfortunately, that includes communication with colleges. You might not see it that way, but we are very sure when we say that colleges will indeed find you on social media, which is not good. If youâre like, âOK, but what if I just make it private? Isnât that fine?â Our answer is simple: âNo.â Donât get mad at us. Or doâ"we actually donât care, because all we care about is you getting into college. Hereâs what we have to say about you and social media. Read it, consider it, and if you know whatâs good for you, take it seriously.Delete your accounts. No presence is the best presence.We know it sounds harsh, but itâs true. Colleges will find your accounts, no matter how secretive you think you are being. Do you think that Harvard doesnât have a finsta they use to follow people who are private? Theyâre Harvard. They have a finsta. And they will locate your profile. Thatâs not good.Colleges donât want to accept you.In fact, they are looking for literally any excuse to throw you in the âRejectâ pile. This fall, tens of millions of students will apply to and colleges in the United States. Thatâs a lot of applicants, and there arenât nearly that many spots available. Also, colleges gain prestige based on their acceptance rate and how small of a number theirs isâ"itâs actually in their interest to have you apply and then reject you because it helps their numbers. It's also sup er overwhelming to have 35,000 applicants for 1,000 spots. They're looking for ANY reason to reject you. Do you really want your Instagram to be the reason they donât take your application seriously? Seems like a really silly reason to us. Youâve worked so hard. Donât get in your own way.No, making your profile private wonât help.We're repeating this for those in the back: making your profile private is not going to keep colleges from finding you. We repeat: making your instagram private is not a solution. We live in an age where social media revenge acts and cyber bullying are the norm, and screenshots are the only ammo the perpetrators need. Weâve unfortunately seen firsthand how even students who make their profiles private can be targeted in a way that is harmful to their college admissions outcome. Additionally, there have been so many studies done on how false senses of security actually results in riskier behaviors. In our opinion, making your profile private is exa ctly that: a false sense of security.This is a crucial part of your application strategy.In fact, social media is not exempt from your application profile when you have a social media presence. Itâs not a way to âescapeâ the stresses of college applications. Quite the opposite. Think of it as being a part of your applicationâ"would you be okay with each and every image on your social media profile being printed and added into your application for review? Because thatâs what youâre doing when you keep an active social media presence. We believe that taking your social media presence into account (and deleting it) is a crucial part of our strategy that optimizes for acceptances.You can technically do whatever you want once you get that acceptance.We say technically because we find that this break from social media often results in students committing their time to more effective and inspiring tasks or hobbiesâ"and they like those newfound habits. That might sound too optim istic, but weâve seen it happen. Weâve also found that this conversation around social media with our students leads to a bigger one about what you really want on the internet about you. Itâs important to think about. But yes, technically, once youâve been admitted, you are no longer our responsibility and you can restart your Instagram and Snapchat. But weâve found that these are the best considerations to have before posting: would I want this photo hand-delivered to my grandma? Would I want this photo on the cover of the New York Times? If your answer is no to either, weâd say donât post it.There are no exceptions (basically).We really mean everything weâve said above. You should delete all of your accounts. In the very rare case where you might have an emotional breakdown by deleting your Instagram, and we will say weâve had students who simply refuse (against our advice), some students keep their Instagrams up but our rule is that the content must be supremely boring. So boring, in fact, that no person would ever want to continue scrolling through your account because itâs filled with family photos and photographs of your ice cream. We donât know what the point is in having an Instagram if itâs boring, but if thatâs your jam, then thatâs your jam.So again, donât get mad at your parents. Get mad at us, sure. We don't care. Unfortunately, we know that weâre right because weâve been doing this for a while. You probably didnât want to know everything that we threw out to you above, but you are indeed the wiser for it. Itâs just not worth getting rejected from a school because of some silly photo that thought could never be used against you. It will. Pass along this wisdom to your friends and please hear us when we say: delete your Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, and whatever else you have. These profiles aren't impressive or important no matter how witty the captions or what filter you put on the picture. Let us know if you have any questions. Weâre happy to talk through any and all of the above with you, your parents, or any combination of people who want to have a chat about this topic.
