Opportunities with NYPIRG — posted for KEVIN DUGAN

Hello everyone! NYPIRG, the student advocacy group at City Tech, is offering opportunities to join students from across New York this summer in advocacy and volunteer opportunities. To learn more, please visit https://bit.ly/NYPSUM21.

Every other week throughout the summer, NYPIRG will be hosting citywide Student Activist Meet-Ups and Student Leader Meetings. Student Activist Meet-Ups allow you to join students from all across New York to learn about how you can get involved, as well as learning new skills from NYPIRG staff members. Student Leader Meetings are based on NYPIRG’s different issue projects including environmental protection, higher education affordability, establishing a public bank, improving our mass transit, and so much more! If you are at a campus with a NYPIRG chapter in the fall, we also offer for-credit internships where you can learn how to lead campaigns that work on issues in our communities and across New York.

To learn more about these opportunities, please fill out our form at https://bit.ly/NYPSUM21. If you have any questions, please make sure to include them at the form and someone will get back to you as soon as possible!—–

Best,

Lysistrata is an interesting character and posses female strength . She seems like she has realized that although she is a woman and there are limitations to what she and other women can do, but at the the same time realizes that there is a power that women do behold. The women are tired of men fighting, and they are tired of not having a say and being brushed off by men, so they have come to the conclusion that they can withhold something from men to try to achieve their goal of stopping fighting.  There is some wit and cleaverlesness about Lysistrata that I really enjoyed reading about female empowerment.

In Oedipus Rex there seems to be a general theme of fate that is expressed. It is a tragic, but yet also brave. Oedipus poses qualities that are admirable and that the people look up to, yet he has this fate of killing his father which creates for a tragic drama.  Oedipus has achieved solving the riddle of Sphinx which showed his bravery and courage, and so he becomes the King of Thebes.

Oedipus

 

Oedipus has a hard time solving his riddle because he has never admitted to his faults. The reason why they said that “Tiresias is blind but sees, Oedipus has eyes but is blind” is because even though Tiresias is blind she is able to tell who a person is and what their intentions are. On the other hand Oedipus is an ignorant person that doesn’t care about others because he only cares about himself, his ego is too big and he is a selfish person. A quote that catched my attention was “Strange, hearing you just now . . . my mind wandered, my thoughts racing back and forth.” This is clearly a sign that Oedipus didn’t really care about what others said or thought. Unfortunately this attitude and ego caught up to him and made him have a defeat. Having a big ego is sickening because it doesn’t do any good to the person having those kinds of attitudes because all they end up having is no one but themselves.
