This past weekend I went to Jazzfest in New Orleans; It was my first real time going to a concert and I was really excited. Although I wasn't prepared for the amount of sun I would get I still had a great time. Jazzfest, as it was described to me by an older woman waiting for Vampire Weekend, is a melting pot of the worlds cultures squished into a hectic week to entertain the tourists. I liked this description because its true in more ways than you'd think, because whatever way you look at it we're all tourists.
The man I met from Zimbabwe was a tourist enjoying his short time in America, and I was just a tourist enjoying the culture he brought from his home. We all came to listen to music and to enjoy what everyone has to offer. No one started any fights, no one was hurt, because we were all there for the same reason, to be tourists in a different world even if we never really left home, and to enjoy each others company. In short I loved Jazzfest, I got to see some of my favorite bands like the Avett Brothers, Vampire Weekend, and Royal Teeth. I met new people I'll never forget and hopefully found a new tradition I can look forward to every year.

Response - If you are in a position of power, you are happy.
I agree with this statement but only when it comes to power over yourself, the ability to be confident in who you are and have the mental strength to be able to choose whats best for your well being. When you're the one in control of your life and feelings then I think that's when people are happiest, you're not second guessing yourself in fear that other people won't like your decision.
Response - Women are more compassionate and less violent than men.
I completely disagree with this. I believe all humans no matter what gender, are capable of the same amount of compassion. Gender has nothing to do with compassion or levels of violence, people just think that because of the certain gender rolls men and women are forced into. I have known men as violent as women, and women as compassionate as men. It all depends on the individual.
