Adam Levine
First of all, I don’t have a favorite kind of music. I like a lot salsa and pop music. My favorite Latin singer is Luis Fonsi. I like the music in English but not as well as Latin music. I would say that one of my favorite American singer is Adam Levine, the vocal leader of the group Maroon 5.

Adam Levine

Adam Noah Levine was born in Los Angeles, CA on March 18, 1979. Levine began his musical career in 1994, when he co-founded alternative rock band Kara's Flowers, of which he was the lead vocalist and guitarist. After the commercial failure of their only album, The Fourth World, the band split up. Later, he reformed the band and a fifth member was added to form Maroon 5. Their success includes several chart-topping hits and gold and platinum albums.

The band released their first album, Songs About Jane, which went multi-platinum in the US. Since then, they have released three more albums, It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007), Hands All Over (2010) and Overexposed (2012). From Hands all over, the smash hit "Moves Like Jagger," peaked at No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, on the Billboard chart. From Overexposed, they featured hits like "One More Night" and "Payphone" with Wiz Khalifa. Levine and his bandmates went on an international tour to promote the recording. Levine has also found success along the way by appearing on other musicians' albums, working with such superstars as Kanye West, Alicia Keys and Natasha Bedingfield. As part of Maroon 5, he has received three Grammy Awards (one of them is for the best new artist on 2004), two Billboard Music Awards, two American Music Awards, a MTV Video Music Award and a World Music Award.

Since 2011, Levine has served as a coach on NBC's reality talent show The Voice, appearing alongside Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green. The winners of the first and fifth seasons, Javier Colon and Tessanne Chin, were on his team.

Outside of singing and appearing on TV, Adam Levine

    Peter Singer

    It is an irrefutable fact that we should help each other. However sometimes help to others poses some danger to either us or others. In Peter Singer's essay "Famine Affluence, and Morality" Peter Singer argues that we ought, morally, to prevent starvation due to famine. Singer begins by saying that assistance has been inadequate as richer countries prioritize development above preventing starvation. Singer then states that "suffering and death from lack of food, shelter, and medical care are bad" (404) and assumes that it is uncontroversial enough to be accepted without justification. He then next raises the linked premise that we morally ought to prevent something 'bad' from happening as long as we have the means and it does not entail compromising on anything of 'comparable moral significance', using the analogy of a drowning child and hence assuming the principle _of "_universalizability" (405). As Singer writes, he attempts to justify why he feels that it is within our means to do so without sacrificing anything morally significant, and concludes that we hence morally ought to prevent starvation due to famine.…

    Hello Mr.Hosseni. In my English class, we just got finished with your novel The Kite Runner.Your book, has been the best school book I have ever read in English class. I was very surprised of all the information that I learned about the political struggle in Afghanistan, and especially surprised that this was a story of your childhood in Kabul from then on.From your childhood, Kabul seemed to be a very wonderful place. I was fascinated by the fact that instead of supermarkets, you had a bazaar to get all of your groceries. I also found it interesting that unlike The United States, the season everyone looked forward to was school offs, and exciting seasons of winter opposed to Summer. Aside from all of the facts that I learned, your book has truly touched my heart. Although Amir’s cruel charecteristics had made me angry in the beginning of the story, by reading the last page his bravery had left me in tears. In the beginning, I thought BaBa was a hero of some sorts, but you even over rid that. I could never imagine returning to a country under the circumstances you had too; but you did it anyway when you were well of aware of the consequences you could have suffered, a very high chance at that too. Although you said Amir was a coward, I believe not even the bold could have done what you did. You really did what would be considered the impossible, and I admire you for that. You have showed me that if you want something, you must do whatever it takes to get there; and to always try no matter how unrealistic it seems.Although BaBa and Rahim Khan had some-what shunned you for your treatment to Hassan as a child, your journey would have made them more than proud. You not only taught me the culture of Afagnistan, but the devestation for a power struggle.You even writing this novel was brave, because it exposed the true horrors of the Taliban. Reading your book, encouraged me to stand against terrible and totalitarian governments like the…
