Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is now a big event around our country where survivors, supporters, and the community as a whole gather to increase awareness, early detection, and to collect funds for research and patient assistance. It started back in 1985 with a partnership between the American Cancer Society and the pharmaceutical division of Imperial Chemical Industries. This event came when Gerald Ford was the U.S. President, and his wife, as a breast cancer survivor, wanted to bring more attention to the topic.

Today, all of us recognize the Pink Ribbon and can associate it with Breast Cancer Awareness. It started to be used nationwide by Estee Lauder cosmetics in 1992, and they handed out 1.5 million of them as a reminder of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Many companies join the fundraising event, selling products where the proceeds – or a certain amount – go to research or organizations helping survivors.

With that in mind, just like we do every month, we bring you a list of movies to watch, books to read, and events to attend:

Halloween: A worldwide celebration

Halloween has been consistently shifted to meet the interests of the people celebrating it and what we do today has nothing to do with what it originally entailed. The origin of this tradition goes back to the Celtics, who under the name of “Samhain," engaged in fire festivals to usher the dark months to come. Many myths are associated with this time. The Celtics believed that the barrier between the worlds was breachable during the Samhain, which led to the preparation of offers left outside villages to distract monsters, thank fairies, and welcome ancestors. With the strength gained by Christianity in these communities, religious leaders attempted to change the connotation of this celebration. In the 9^th Century, Pope Gregory declared that November 1 would be All Saints’ Day and November 2, All Souls’ Day. As the years passed, the celebrations started to merge, but many of the original ideas stayed in place: trick or treating, Halloween pranks, activities honoring ancestors, and many others.

Today, a large part of Halloween has been commercialized, with Americans spending over $490 million on costumes for their pets and buying one-quarter of all the candy sold throughout the year during this period. Many Latin American Countries celebrate Dia de los Muertos; In Hong Kong, The Hungry Ghost Festival takes place; Italy celebrates the Ognissanti; and in Brittany, France, La Toussaint takes place. However, the Americanized Halloween that everyone sees in movies has taken over, and it can be seen homogenously all over the world alongside the more traditional celebrations.

As such, Halloween has something to offer to everyone, and below, we provide a collection of movies and books to enjoy during this time.

Movies to watch:

· The Witch

· Hocus Pocus

· Ghostbusters

· Halloweentown

· Casper

· The Haunted History of Halloween

Books to read:

· Never Have I Ever by Isabel Yap

· No Gods, No Monsters by Cadwell Turnbull

· The Sentence by Louise Erdrich
