Why Every High School Student Should Take AP Art History
There we stood, my dad and I staring at another naked hunk of Italian marble. Actually, we were looking at Michelangelo’s iconic David in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence, Italy. To me, it was no different from the numerous other sculptures we had seen. At least Donatello’s David was wearing boots and a hat. I was mortified that Michelangelo had apparently forgotten to clothe his David. What young girl would want to see stark naked dudes immortalized in stone? Michelangelo once said, “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free,” but here was a statue already “set free” and I couldn’t see it. His statue might be soaring with the angels, but I was bored and uncomfortable, and I craved lemon gelato.

How to Read Polyphonic Music on the Piano
In music theory, music is categorised into monophonic and polyphonic. According to the definition, the difference lies in the maximum number of sounds occurring simultaneously at any given moment in the piece. So if there is only one sound present, we call it monophonic music, but if there are two or more at the same time, we call it polyphonic. We commonly refer to these individual notes as “voices” or “parts”, therefore, a monophonic piece should have only one part, but polyphonic music will have two or more.

Miseducation of the Westerner
As a history buff and avid student of humanity’s procession towards our present moment, I have come to the conclusion, the sudden realization, that the way we’ve been going about teaching the subject of History is all wrong. To be very specific, I’m speaking as a Westerner and to the Western world. As an American, I am a member of what we call “Western Civilization”, which consists of a group of highly industrialized countries that are clustered around the Northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. These countries are the wealthiest, most infrastructurally developed, most economically developed and tend to work together militarily. I’m speaking of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Canada and others. Together, these countries, which tend to be seen as the powerhouses of the globe, the monied countries and are known as the Great Eight are arbitrarily called “The West.” These countries aren’t really west of anything, since we live on a globe, they simply are farther west than what has been traditionally called the “old world.” Since The West has more international influence, maps of the globe tend to be made by them and with them in mind so they tend to geometrically center Europe on those maps because of historical perspective, these countries are seen as west of the “old world.” Yet, much of what is previously stated is the crux of my issue. The Western world, also called Euro-America, tends to be centered in everything and is seen as the main focal point of all historical, economic and cultural analyses. This has done westerners a huge disservice by rendering us extremely ignorant of the rest of the world and its cultures which causes us to implement our bias in our global institutions. We tend to see ourselves as “The West” which is the best and our presence and way of life blesses the rest, who tend to be browner and poorer. This bias is a product of an education system that renders us so ignorant of other people’s histories and cultures that we often assume that they don’t have any. Thus, this essay is a critique of how we teach History in schools and on the collegiate level. How we have studied and taught this history in our educational systems has imbued many westerners with a shallow sense of humanity that makes it difficult for them to connect and empathize with humans of different hues and from foreign cultures due to a lack of understanding, knowledge of and appreciation for those different cultures.
