Dear MCC Community,

The = Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society invites you to take part in a college-wide arts showcase featuring visual, performing, and literary arts exploring “T= he Paradox of Affluence: Choices, Challenges, and Consequences.” Student= s, teachers, administrators, and staff are welcome to submit their artistic in= terpretations of this subject and to participate in a week’s worth of showcase even= ts.

What does “The Paradox of Affluence= 221; mean, and what is its purpose here at MCC?

&= nbsp; Paradox is defined as one (as a person, situation, or action) having seemingly contradictory qualities or phases.

&= nbsp; Affluence is defined in three ways:

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; 1. An abundant flow or supply, Profusion.

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; 2. Abundance of property, Wealth.

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; 3. A flowing to or towards a point, Influx.

&= nbsp; By putting these two words together, we can look at the contradictory elements= of abundance and wealth in the world that surrounds us.

&= nbsp; The PURPOSE of the “Reflections” showcase is to challenge Muskegon Community College to look at their surroundings and see how wealth and abundance affect them, either positivel= y or negatively, and then reflect their findings in any of the three areas of the fine arts.

What are the 3 areas of fine arts?=
