Regaeton As Torture

Keith Donnelly

Go and catch a falling star, Get with child a mandrake root, Tell me where all past years are, Or who cleft the devil's foot, Teach me to hear mermaids singing, Or to keep off envy's stinging, And find What wind Serves to advance an honest mind.

If thou be'st born to strange sights, Things invisible to see, Ride ten thousand days and nights, Till age snow white hairs on thee, Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me, All strange wonders that befell thee, And swear, No where Lives a woman true, and fair.

If thou find'st one, let me know, Such a pilgrimage were sweet; Yet do not, I would not go, Though at next door we might meet; Though she were true, when you met her, And last, till you write your letter, Yet she Will be False, ere I come, to two, or three.

- John Donne

Let’s Talk About Cricket

Cricket has been a prevalent sport in the subcontinent for a long time. It is something that the locals relate with to a great extent. Be it bowling, or batting, or fielding for a match. Interestingly, Cricket was introduced in this region from the British when they acted as colonizers. The locals picked up the sport and adopted it as if it were their own sport, thereby developing a strong conviction to it. Experts agree that youngsters living in the Weald, a region of thick forests and clear

What are Sports to Society?

We all know what sports are by definition. We have all heard of different games like cricket, basketball, football, hockey, and many more. Other people enjoy watching different sports and some people can be enthusiastic enough to never miss a game. Regardless of what sport you choose or what level of enthusiasm you show towards the game, it can be agreed that sports hold a specific meaning to society. The definition of a sport goes far beyond knowing the rules of the game. There is a greater con

Military Culture

You might have heard that different cultures exist across different ethnicities, but if you have seen some of the most classical military-based movies like “A few good men”, or otherwise have an interest in military life, then you will know that there is a completely different culture in the Military and although civilians might not be able to understand that culture, it is well practiced in the military.

Maluma is one of the most well-known and loved reggaeton singers in the world. Millions of people absolutely adore listening to the Colombian stars hits.

However, one Mexican official who has been imprisoned claims that he has been going crazy after been forced to listen to Maluma’s music. He claims that police authorities have being torturing him by playing the reggaeton music at full blast, for the past 10 days to no end.

Gilbertro Aguirre Garza, who was once the director of the Attorney General’s Office in Veracruz, Mexico was jailed for his alleged involvement in the alteration of concealment of evidence related to the burial of 13 bodies.

In an effort to get more information out of him, and get him to admit to charges that he continuously denies, the governor of Verracruz as well as the state Attorney General have subjected him to torture through music.

Officials have installed loudspeakers outside of his cell, and continue to play the reggaeton music. Apparently the music was so loud that even trying to cover his ears with his hands has prevented him from falling asleep.

The bizarre torture is reported to have a very specific purpose, of forcing him to sign a statement that accuses third parties of taking part in the crimes he has been accused of, and in fact, it actually worked after having a huge psychological impact on Gilberto.

Although this torture doesn’t seem too cruel, once you learn that he’s a huge fan of classic musical, it’s a whole lot worse.
