One women that made a difference in Paris is Simone de Beauvoir. Simone is a french writer and philosopher. She is most known for writing The Second Sex which brought awareness of the status of women and is also apart of the French feminist movement. She broke a lot of social rules in her day by not getting married and being critical of women rights so she can prove her point that women are overlooked in society. She brought awareness to women and fought for women to be seen. Even though I don't agree to her lifestyle, I think she is an amazing person. I like how she wasn't afraid to call people out. I also like how honest and raw her thoughts and action are. She wrote how thing actually are and didn't try to sugarcoats things. She an amazing example that sometimes you have to broke social rule to get your point across. Her contribution to being a feminist changed how society should view women. Simone bluntly called out men and women to contributing to men being...
In Stockholm I got to through the ABBA museum. I am a big fan of ABBA and grew up on their music. Going to a museum dedicated to them made my day. This museum was so interactive and had a lot of information about the group before and after their days as a music group. Visitors had the opportunity to be the fifth member of the group. There was a recording studio, silent disco sessions, and a place where you could perform with the group. You learn about each member and how they created the groups. You walked through their stages of life with how they got famous and how that impacted their life. It was so much fun to look at their costumes and to hear their songs. I don't think ABBA had a huge impact of Sweden history or culture but people associate ABBA to Stockholm. They were first introduce to the world by winning Eurovision for Stockholm (the song that won was Waterloo). They made music a huge part of Stockholm and it is incorporated into their culture. Their music has a lot of e...
On Thursday, I got to go through the Skansen Open Air museum in Stockholm. This museum was so cool to walk around because it took you back in time to Sweden before the industrial era. It is also the oldest open air museum. In the museum, they have a zoo, little villages to learn about history, and markets. There were people dressed in olden, traditional clothes who give you information about houses and how the people lived back then. I got to walk into this one house and learn how people back then kept their homes warm warm. This house had no chimney and held sand in the roof so that the smoke would stay in the house and warm the house all day. I also liked how the workers really got into their parts and were proud to portray their past. I think Skansen the open air Museum is important historically and culturally to Stockholm. It is important historically because the museum exhibit the history of Stockholm/Sweden and how people in the past use to live. It brings the past ba...
