Analysis Of Canzon Septimi A 8
Many ensembles across the world dedicate time to learning and performing early renaissance music. When practicing music not from this era, it is
easy to perform it incorrectly and not give the work the justice it deserves. Ensembles that do not take careful time and consideration to study the style
of early music and the techniques they must use when performing these pieces, ultimately fail when attempting to perform early music. When
performing early music, such as Canzon Septimi Toni a 8, musicians must study the styles and techniques musicians in that time period implemented,
reciprocate the tone, timbre and articulations used in the renaissance era for this specific work, transpose the piece to their instrument, and know the
differences between early and modern instrumentation needed to perform the piece. Giovanni Gabrieli, the man who composed Canzon Septimi Toni
a 8, was a well known Renaissance composer born in 1556. Not only that, but he was an organist and teacher who learned everything he knew from his
uncle, Andrea Gabrieli, whom he has to thank for his musical upbringing. Gabrieli himself was highly regarded and praised for his contributions to
instrumental music for church use as well as choral and instrumental motets. Gabrieli also made use of the San Marco church layout; the two separate
choir lofts in the church allowed him to create salient spatial effects, which in turn heavily influenced his style of music. Unfortunately, his health

Early Western Civilization: Molded by Conflict or Consensus
The question has been posed whether early Western Civilization was molded by conflict between civilizations or by consensus between divergent
civilizations. Although it can be argued that both conflict and consensus have affected the development of Western Civilization, one of these has had
more of an influence than the other. As early as Ca 3000, at the dawn of civilization, there has been conflict. When the city–states of Sumer were
established, warfare and competition broke out due to disagreements on land and water rights. This tradition of conflict has continued throughout
history all the way up to modern times. Based on the outcomes of the many conflicts throughout history, it appears that civilization has been molded
more by these conflicts than consensus between divergent civilizations. Looking at political, cultural, and religious aspects of the history of Western
Civilization, one can see the influence that conflict had on shaping said civilization. The ways that conflict has shaped the political characteristics of
Western Civilization are evident when looking at historic expansions of civilizations and the imperialism that accompanies such expansions. As
leaders expanded their reign and land holdings by conquering other peoples, a need to govern those holdings and citizens arose. As Hammurabi
conducted campaigns to expand his empire, he developed what has become known as Hammurabi's Code to help govern his people. Many of the laws

Flooding In Venice : The Bay Of The Venetian Lagoon
Venice is a famous city located in northeastern Italy, and is officially a UNESCO world heritage site. It is composed of 118 islands tucked within the
Venetian Lagoon. The bay of the Venetian Lagoon is enclosed by the enormous Po and Piave Rivers. Centuries ago around 450 A.D, its location was
selected based on the original settlers' desires for a remote and inaccessible location. In fact, Venice's first inhabitants were refugees that had fled after
the collapse of the Roman Empire. Currently, Venice is struggling with adapting to climate change. Slowly but surely, rising sea levels will devour the
city of Venice, leaving the people with an inevitable problem to solve. Often, Venice experiences severe flooding due to large incoming tides, heavy
rainfall, and wind. In 1966 Venice experienced its worst flood in history. TheVenetian Lagoonraised 6 feet above sea level, causing a great deal of
damage to the city's infrastructure and architectural marvels. Flooding seems to be getting worse and worse each year, which is taking its toll on
the city's masonry and foundations. It is has become so severe, that many residents of Venice have evacuated their ground floor. There is a clear
link between the increase in Venice's flooding, the melting of polar ice caps, and the warming of the ocean. The city's sea level has raised 5 inches

A wall is created and distraction is always present. Texting while another person is talking can be put on the same level as talking and interrupting the

Is Civilization the Answer to the Chaos?
As Mark Twain once said, "Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities." The society believes that civilization is the solution
to disorder and chaos, but sometimes it creates more problems than solutions. To the imperial Europeans, turning the natives into civilized human
beings was the main goal, and that is why they felt as if it was their job to take over the natives' lands. In general, civilization is seen as a solution to a
utopian realm.
William Shakespeare in The Tempest and Michel de Montaigne in Of Cannibals narrow their focus on the idea of "nature vs. civilization." Both
authors discuss the idea of how nature is replaced by civilization and the outcome is not as expected. Shakespeare portrays the idea of Caliban's
nature being wiped away by Prospero, who thinks his knowledge is the best weapon he has so he should be the one to control the island. Montaigne,
on the other hand, discusses how the natives are better off by sticking to their nature than being civilized because the Western society does not realize
that it is barbaric also.
William Shakespeare, in The Tempest, writes about Prospero who has the ability to manipulate things by using magic. He and his daughter now live
in this island with a slave named Caliban. Prospero has taken over the island and decided to control everything. He can manipulate everyone and

Educational Philosophy of John Dewey Essay
The Educational Philosophy of John Dewey John Dewey is known as leader of the progressive movement in the history of the American education
system and his book, Democracy and Education: an introduction to the philosophy of education, could be used as a textbook to teach the foundations
of the movement. Discrediting all previous educational and philosophic approaches as intellectually incomplete or inaccurate, Dewey first presents a
new perspective on the nature of knowledge, education, society and philosophy. One fundamental theme of Dewey's progressive movement is that
education is growth and that growth is, in and of itself, the objective. Rejecting any notion of innate knowledge or of an ideal goal to strive for, the

Societies can be, by definition, small associations of like minded individuals with narrow aims or large nations with broad, diverse aims. Dewey
offers two standards which can be applied to assess the value of a society: How numerous and varied are the interests which are consciously
shared? How full and free is the interplay with other forms of association? By applying these two questions, the natural conclusion of the ideal
society is democratic, that is to say one that offers its citizens the freedom of expression and communication. If a democracy represents an ideal
society that presents the maximum number of common interests and the maximum opportunities for association with other societies, then it also
represents the ideal society in its potential for growth. Any society with a near limitless potential for growth must redefine the concept of
knowledge in order to gain efficiencies in its education system. Previous attempts at defining knowledge were flawed, in the mind of the
Progressivist, by directly stating or implying a division or duality that presents a barrier to free intercourse of ideas. Examples of these dualities are
that of different classes within a society such as rich vs poor, noble vs lower class, ruler vs ruled or that of the physical vs metaphysical worlds. Any
duality serves to separate knowledge from action, a continuity which is proclaimed as ideal. Any piece of

In the poem "The City of the End of Things", the narrator recalls the manner in which humanity existed before the rise of the technological era so that
the current environment has a greater impact. The story "The Lost Island" represents the status of the Aboriginal people as the confirmation of a

to this story, an old medicine man was once plagued by visions of the future. He was described as hearing voices throughout his life, which told him
about the inevitable arrival of "the white man...many hundreds of them, many thousands of them" (Johnson 234). The prophecy continued, claiming
that "the Indians will learn [the white man's] ways...will become as they are...it will be as if the Indians had lost all bravery, all courage, all

they may not receive the same information. With this tactic there is not any excuse for not knowing what is expected when going through customs.
The strategies I stated above will be successful, only if they are applied. Without application the strategy will be a failure. Within the domestic

Earlier this year, the Washington State Department of Health reported the first confirmed measles–related death in the United States since 2003.
Although the woman herself had been vaccinated for measles, she was infected by another patient with measles while she was taking immune system

society, and each person is not only responsible for himself, he is also responsible for the lives of everyone else in his community. In our dynamic

The Renaissance
When the Renaissance started in the 1300s in Florence Italy, it was the end of dark times("The Renaissance"). It started a period of rebirth for the
arts of Ancient Greek and Rome. During this time Rome started to rediscover the works of the Greeks and Romans(The Renaissance 00:40:00). There
were also many innovations not only in art, such as the printing press. This enthusiasm spread all around Europe. The Renaissance spread to France,
Germany, England and by the end of the Renaissance in the 1600s all the way to the Netherlands("The Renaissance").It affected Europe greatly in
many ways, especially in the world of painting. Before the Renaissance most painting were dull single figure scenes. However, during the Renaissance
more colors and detail was being seen in paintings(The Renaissance 00:40:00).One of the painters who truly showed this was Jacopo Bassano. Jacopo
Bassano was not a widely known artist, but because of his vibrant and detailed paintings such as The Supper at Emmaus he had a big influence on the
Renaissance and is remembered to this day. Jacopo Bassano was born in 1517 in Bassano del Grappa, Italy. When Jacopo Bassano was born he was
immediately emersed into the world of art. This was largely becuase of his father Francesco the Elder. Francesco the elder was a exceptional
provincial painter, he was one of Jacopo's biggest influences. He began to show Jacopo the wonders of painting at a very young age. Some people

Royal Ontario Museum Research Paper
Museums are institutions of cultural, artistic, and scientific knowledge. They have taken many forms over the centuries, Older museums subscribed to
elitist ideologies. The architecture and interior design of these highbrow establishments reflected this with either over the top grandeur or stark,
blinding white galleries. However, has museum values became rooted in the community and public education, the architecture changed as well. The
Royal Ontario Museum consists of two interconnected main buildings. The original build and its early 1933 renovation are an exemplar of traditional
sensibilities. In stark contrast to them, however, is the Michael Lee–Chin Crystal which embodies the essence of new museum aesthetics. The design of
the Royal Ontario Museum is a perfect blend of traditional and new museum values as is evident in its innovative design. Early 18th and 19th century
museums and many other buildings were built in the neoclassical style. Inspiration was taken directly from recently excavated Roman ruins. Early
museums acted more like over the top cabinets of wonder, catering only to academics and elite individuals. However as so too did museum designs.
Of course, museums exist in a multitude of architectural styles. The list of historical buildings that act as museums is endless. International style arose
to reflect the modernist art style and the social sensibilities of the 20th century. This design was often composed of simple material and straight lines.

Civilization and Its Discontents, by Sigmeund Freud Essay...
"Civilization and Its Discontents" is a book written by Sigmund Freud in 1929 (originally titled "Das Unbehagen in der Kultur" or The Uneasiness in
Culture.) This is considered to be one of Freud's most important and widely read works. In this book, Freud explains his perspective by enumerating
what he sees as fundamental tensions between civilization and the individual. He asserts that this tension stems from the individual's quest for freedom
and non–conformity and civilization's quest for uniformity and instinctual repression. Most of humankind's primitive instincts are clearly destructive to
the health and well–being of a human community (such as the desire to kill.) As a direct result, civilization creates laws designed to prohibit ... Show

Freud theorizes that this oceanic feeling is a regression into an earlier state of consciousness before the ego had differentiated itself from the world of
objects. Freud also theorizes that the religious oceanic feeling arises from "the infant's helplessness and the longing for the father" and "imagine[s] that
the oceanic feeling became connected with religion later on." In other words, the oceanic feeling is not a genuine religious experience, though people
experience it that way. Throughout the rest of the book, Freud addresses the conflict between civilization and the individual. He starts with the
fundamental paradox of civilization: we created civilization as a tool to protect ourselves from unhappiness; however it is our largest source of
unhappiness. He also points out that contemporary technological advances have been a mixed blessing for human happiness. He also asks what the
purpose of civilization is if it is not to satisfy the pleasure principal. He later concedes that civilization has to make compromises of happiness to fulfill
its primary goal of bringing people into peaceful relationships with each other, by making them subject to a higher, communal authority. Freud included
a cornucopia of various themes in this book. The first of these is the recurring theme of the primal father and his psychological heritage. This is one of

How A Partial Biography Could Be Harmful For A Painter?...
"How a partial biography could be harmful for a painter? Lorenzo Lotto's peripatetic career in Vasari's Lives" (I still need a better title)
Why do we read Vasari's Lives? Surely not for the historical accuracy of the data he provides us nor for his scientific approach to the artist's
biographies. We read what we consider a masterpiece of Italian literature mainly because, instead of concentrating on long tedious enumeration,
exegetical and philological details or monotonous galleries of portraits, Vasari preferred to choose according to his taste, to stick to what he was given
to know, to carefully consider and judge the paintings with his intelligence, sensibility and enthusiasm. This explains why it is interesting to analyse
even a scanty biography as the one of Lorenzo Lotto in both the editions of the lives. Lotto's biography may be considered especially interesting in
order to understand how an artist, who developed his own pictorial poetic, diametrically different from that of his fellow citizens, and who worked
mainly in peripheral centres, entered the ranks of those painters, sculptors and architects whose memory Vasari has sought to preserve.
In either edition of the Lives, Vasari devotes to Lotto a scanty biography shared with Jacopo Palma, also knew as Palma il Vecchio. In the Torrentini's
edition, Lotto's life is particularly concise, to use a euphemism. Vasari literally reserves the artist's biography a one–tenth of the lines he uses to
describe Palma's Life.

The poem "Barbie Doll" by Marge Piercy in relation to diversity alludes to specific aspects of gender, mainly targeting the female gender
perspective and expectations. In the poem, Piercy is writing about a young girl transitioning from a child to a women and how society and its idea
of beauty affects her. My interpretation of the poem is that the girl is basically crying out for help saying look I am healthy, intelligent, and strong
but no one sees or cares about those things because the only thing they see when they look at her is her outside appearance and what society
considers to be the flaws that she possesses. Although this was written in 1936 Piercy accurately describes the feeling of being defined or
constricted by society to think, act, and look a particular way which is similar to that of todays society which is fueled by social media, where
some find personal gratification and self confidence fueled from likes and retweets they receive." Barbie doll " is the perfect title for this poem

The narrative voice of Christopher is not linked with fact or logic but is based on reasoning and reveals his great need of order in a disordered

to act in a respectful matter and respect the mutations of people with a disability.
Another important idea that Haddon refers to is having a disability segregates someone from the rest of the society and they are seen as eccentric.
Christopher's disability not only affects him, but it also affects his family and the people surrounding him. Christopher's parents had no prior training
as they have a disabled child as revealed to in the novel, this shows that the society has ignored those people with disability and has not taken special
requirements in order to support them. The stresses with living with Christopher are shown he is lying on the floor in a shop, in pool of urine and

to the New Oxford American Dictionary, the term "dragnet" is a symbol, for, a system of coordinated measures used to apprehend criminals or
suspects. Most crime drama series solve a different case each episode. Although, in current pop–culture crime dramas focus on one particular crime,

as being a natural progression from the outdated and tried towards the new and improved. Wright posits that it is the world's relentless creation of
innovative methods that ironically contributes to the progress trap rather than to progress itself, the intended objective. Wright's coinage of the term
"progress trap" refers to the phenomenon of innovations that create new complications that are typically left without resolve which exacerbate... Show

The humans living in that period were unable to supplement their previous diet, which was rich in protein, and their culture was devastated as a result;
this then, is an example of progress (better hunting methods) that led to the failure of an entire culture as its problems were left unsolved. In his third
chapter, Wright examines two particular civilizations that thrived but eventually declined due to resource depletion. What is interesting is the
similarities that can be drawn from the examples of Easter Island and Sumer, like the widespread ignorance of the masses to actively prevent the
abrasion of their land, the perpetual idleness of people to not do anything even when there was enough time to stop the tragic collapse, to current–day
situations of people who even flat–out deny climate change and claim it to be part of the left–wing agenda. On Easter Island, it was over–logging that
led to their collapse, since as their ecosystem withered away, logging became scarce, and wars broke out for those sparse resources. In Sumer similar

African Helmet Masks Essay
Masks are one of the most spiritually important art forms developed in Africa. Among the masks many uses were; communicating with spirits and
ancestors, serving as teaching aids in gender specific initiation ceremonies, tools for maintaining order, enhancements for reenacted stories and myths,
symbols of rank and power, and a record for past leaders. I will be focussing on masks from the first three categories. The masks, which are all Helmet
style masks from West and CentralAfrica, illustrate how artists from different tribes approached symbolism and visual storytelling. They also show
what was considered ideally beautiful for each clan. The first mask is from the Kuba (Bushongo) tribe in the Democratic Republic of Congo; ... Show

Interpretation of the symbolism behind the mask varies, however the rings are thought to invoke both the ridges of a black moth chrysalis, representing
a girl's transformation into a woman, and the ripples of water created as a leader rose from the water, the home of female spirits. The masks
elaborately braided hair and scarification also refer to the appearance of this leader and what was considered ideally beautiful. The expression on the
face is to convey the wisdom, grace, and self control that the young women would hopefully inherit. The third mask also deals with a secret society.
This carved wood "Helmet Mask" (inventory # 5–13259) is thought to be from the Bamileke society of Cameroon and is dated to about 1976. Used in
a men's secret society known as the Kwifo ("night"), masks in this style disguised the members identities as they acted as a police force for the king.
The Kwifo mediated conflicts, pronounced legal sentences, and carried out the resulting punishments. Different masks represented the various powers
of the group and the carved headdress of this mask mirrors the prestige caps worn by elites and kings. The intertwined "legs" represent the earth spider,
which, because it lived underground was thought to unite the world of the ancestors and spirits, who live in the earth, with that of humans. Revered for

The Annihilation Of Space By Law
Q4. Don Mitchell, in his article 'The Annihilation of Space by Law,' argues that ordinances passed against the poor in the 1990s point to a highly
exclusionary type of modern citizenship. What does he mean by this? In what ways are the poor excluded from modern citizenship? How is this
exclusion justified socio–politically?
Space is never innocent. Regardless of whether a specific area is deemed public or private, space is never innocent because of the bodies who govern
those areas. Today, there are approximately 3.2 million Canadians who are either homeless or "transitionally" homeless, but regardless of their
citizenship, they are not considered as "modern citizens" by the society. Mitchell puts forth the argument that the ordinances passed in the 1990s has
stripped vagrants of their rights as actual Canadian citizens and has created an elite class of citizenship that only the privilege can enjoy.
According to the Canadian government, an individual is deemed as a citizen of Canada if they fulfill certain requirements such as being born in the
country, applying for a citizenship, or being born to at least one Canadian parent. With this citizenship, these individuals can now experience a wide
variety of privileges such as having the ability to vote, to either enter or leave the country, and to enjoy all the rights and freedoms that are associated
with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Some of these rights include the right to public assembly and

Every day, Americans are surrounded by countless advertisements. On the way to work, billboards and radio ads bombard the senses. Most ads are
quickly forgotten while others stick with the audience. What makes some ads memorable and others forgettable? The product may be visually
appealing, from a desirable brand, or presented as a solution to the viewer's problem such as anti–aging cream for wrinkles. Such is the case for an ad
for The Venetian resort and casino in Vanity Fair, a high

bed with bountiful pillows. This ad may appeal to a high socio–economic class of viewers with a desire to belong in a high–class society in accordance
with a term called snob appeal (134), coined by Stuart Hirschberg, the Associate Professor at Rutgers University. The argument suggests advancing age

Modern capitalist society is the target of severe criticism in Herbert Marcuse's book, One–Dimensional Man. As one would hope, Marcuse's intent is
not merely to point out the shortcomings of the present system. He further hopes to encourage change in the most basic features of society, and with
the intent to effect change arises the question of what goals the proposed change is directed towards. Primary among his goals is the
"development and satisfaction of human needs and faculties" (xliii). Which of the wide range of human faculties are worthy of
development? This question obviously requires value judgments to be made; any answer will be highly subjective or very complex, and probably both

Because they are imposed on human mentality rather then inherent in the human condition, the needs which arise within an individual in this way are
not truly necessary. Marcuse's term for these unnecessary needs is "false needs." It seems a feature of his definition that "false
needs" are distinguished by their being imposed on the individual by social interests beyond her own control. To this definition Marcuse adds the
contention that such needs are invariably harmful, a point which requires empirical support. He writes that these conditioned needs are "the
needs which perpetuate toil, aggressiveness, misery, and injustice" (5). How does this happen?
One can view Marcuse's account of the harm arising from the creation of false needs as a direct reponse to an anticipated objection by an adherent of
liberal political theory. The liberal theorist might argue that providing certain basic freedoms, perhaps a right to self–determination, must be the
primary goal of society. This goal must take precedence over other aspects ofhuman life, and the liberal theorist might even argue that bodily
sustenance is worthless without basic freedoms. Marcuse's argument in opposition to this possible view is the idea that "freedom from

Anthropology And The Study Of Culture

a.The field of anthropology that I find to be most interesting is anthropological linguistics. Personally, I believe this subdivision is so interesting
because it is so diverse and covers so much ground on how our language and others have evolved over time. Ranging from early cave writings, to
sign language, to the language and slang we all know and use today, language among not only our cultures but also others have vastly changed and
there is proof of this that dates back to ancient times. The mere complexity of our current language is beyond what past civilizations could have
even imagined it would come to be. What I find to be very interesting is the fact that even today our upbringing, social class, or cultural norms, can
define how we speak. For instance, there are certain slangs or terms that someone may say because they were brought up around people who spoke
using that kind of language. While this is true for some, but not all, children of an upper class parents may grow up speaking very formally, and be
taught to not use any slang or vulgar words. They continue using this vocabulary further on in life because it is what they were taught to do. This can
also be applied to any other social class, or even differ between people from different geographic locations. Linguistics is often learned and adopted
from generation to generation and from civilization to civilization.

Rather, she states that men tend to approach moral issues quite differently than women. Where as men view morale issues with a "don't interfere with
my rights" view, women focus more on the "responsibility" end of the morale involved. Thus we can conclude, thanks to the comparative method, that
the constructed truth that all people view morale issues the same is not a correct one. Another quick example of a cross–gender comparison would be
that of the house–wife. Still today most men view the role of the married woman as one that involves being a house–wife, in the traditional sense of the
term. However, women today certainly would not view themselves in the same manner. The data collected from a comparison such as this could help to
dereify this socially constructed truth. Cross–class comparisons is also a comparison commonly used when attempting to expose constructed truths

What Is Effective Altruism As A Philosophy And Social...
Peter Singer, author of The Most Good You Can Do, defines effective altruism as "a philosophy and social movement which applies evidence and
reason to working out the most effective ways to improve the world" (Singer, 2015, p. 4–5). Given this definition, who are effective altruists? They are
individuals who wish to make positive contributions to society by considering their course of action in an objective manner. To make this clearer,
Singer contrasts effective altruists from "warm glow givers" (Singer, 2015, p. 5). Warm glow givers donate to charities to feel good without truly
understanding how their donations are utilized to help people. Hence, these givers will offer their donations not to the most pressing causes, but to
causes that appeal to their heart. On the other hand, effective altruists do not immediately act based on their emotions. Instead, they take a moment
to step back and critically analyze if a certain action will help as much people as they hope it will. In short, they want to target the most urgent issues
by maximizing whatever resources they have for the benefit of a larger group of people. Since effective altruism is a movement aimed at helping the
most people, who are these people that altruists hope to help? It is clear to me from this chapter that so far, the goal of effective altruism is to uplift
the poor. In this chapter, Singer states that money will be utilized best if it is directed towards uplifting the needy in developing countries.

Venice Against The Sea
"Venice is evolving into a crumbling museum" says Keahey. In his extensively researched book, Venice against the Sea, Keahey states Venice has
sunk six feet over the past 1000 years. While its historical importance as a major hub for trade is over, it remains economically lucrative due to its
historically rich Myth of Veniceand its significant cultural importance. Venice against the sea describes how the city is being assaulted by climate
change along with environmental degradation compounded by a corrupt political system and the very tourism that sustains it. In a 2000 CNN
interview then Mayor, Paola Costa states, "we risk disappearing due to excess love...all those who are using Venice for their own interests must make a
contribution to preserve the myth"
The effects of rising sea water and global warming on the lagoon city are resulting in significant flooding, the worst of which occurred in 1966, the
Acqua Alta or high water. It isn't just climate change that jeopardizes Venice, it was the lapse in upkeep of the foundation, short sighted expansion and
redesigning of water ways and the pumping of ground water from beneath Venice that is hastening its sinking. In 1970 this practice was called to a
halt. But this danger to Venice is not a new occurrence in Venice's history, but it is the severity and frequency of the flooding that is accelerating the

In Praise of Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel Essay
In Praise of Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel
Jared Diamond's bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel (GG&S) is an attempt to explain why some parts of the world are currently powerful and
prosperous while others are poor. Diamond is both a physiologist and a linguist who spends a good deal of his time living with hunter gathers in
Papua New Guinea. As a researcher and as a human being, he is convinced that all people have the same potential. Hunter gatherers are just as
intelligent, resourceful, and diligent as anybody else. Yet material "success" isn't equally distributed across the globe. Civilization sprung up in
relatively few places and spread in a defined pattern. I should emphasize that Diamond doesn't equate material ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Diamond argues that civilization arose from regions that were susceptible the domestication of both plants and large mammals to plow fields. This
combination vastly increased food production, which in turn supported larger populations. From there, it's the standard political economy story about
the positive feedback loop of prosperity and social complexity favoring the evolution of more complex forms of social organization, specialization,
increased technical innovation, etc. This is the Guns and Steel part of the story.
Diamond's account has an interesting twist, though. Most epidemic diseases are zoonotic, that is, they are incubated in domestic animals. Crowding
facilitates the spread of disease. Peoples who spent thousands of years living near each other and their animals developed resistance to many
communicable diseases. Groups who weren't subject to these pressures did not develop the same resistance. When Europeans came to the Americas
after centuries of urban life, their diseases decimated the indigenous populations. The guns and steel also facilitated the conquest, but Diamond thinks
the germs were the key factor.
Some critics have misinterpreted several key aspects of Diamond's argument. One critic writes:
Hey! No large domestic animals, so there's your excuse for a failure in the Americas. But there was a domestic mammal throughout the two continents:

and stay updated. I use my phone every single day and I cannot imagine living my life without a smartphone. I go on social media websites every day
to connect with friends and see what they are doing. It is the fastest way to interact with friends and I love technology for that. A couple decades ago
people didn't have good communication devices therefore it was much harder for them to connect with each other. Technology makes it much more
convenient and easy for us to use, saving us a lot of time. Having technology makes our life easier and at the same time virtual. It is very convenient
and just normal for our society to use it everyday. In my opinion modern technology provides more options and opportunities to connect with our
friends. I really don't think that technology and social media ruin our friendships like most people would say. It all depends on how you use it.

Children Living Apart from Families in Totalitarian Societies
In many real life and fictionalized totalitarian societies, children live apart from their families. Why would dictatorial leaders enforce this living
arrangement? In the book Anthem, the children are living in a totalitarian society. This society is usually run by a dictator and there is very little or no
freedom. In totalitarianism, the government or in this case the councils control almost every aspect of life. There is no free speech or freedom of the
press; certain religions or ideas may be banned. "We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One, indivisible and
forever." This plays a great part in the book because" we" is what the people refer to as themselves. Everyone is equal to each other and there is no "I".
The councils in Anthem believe that no brother should ever rise above one another. No brother should outsmart the other.
Knowledge is a powerful thing. In totalitarian societies children are taken away from their parents at very young ages, so they learn all the same
things. All of the student's knowledge is kept at the same level. All the children know is only what the government teaches them. "It was not that the
learning was too hard for us. It was that the learning was too easy. It is not good to be different from our brothers, but is evil to be superior to them."

Polis. The name probably didn't have quite the impact as its parent word "metropolis", but the parent word was cumbersome and, as people are wont to
do, prone to shortening. The parent word may have better–conveyed the city's size and scope and industry...or maybe not. Perhaps that was why the
word was changed over time: as the city grew and grew, the word "metropolis" seemed to become more and more inadequate. And "Mega City One"
was just lame. In the aftermath of the Final War (as people called it, when referring to the conflict that gave rise to Polis), things changed. Gradually,

population's needs and concerns. The country was slowly transformed, town by ruined town, city by devastated city, state by crippled state. Those
who'd survived were often eager for a leadership that would give them the direction they wanted, that put the people first, that put the needs of
society ahead of the needs of self. It was not socialism, as that was one of the driving forces that had led to the Final War in the first place; nor was it
capitalism, as that had been another driving force of the War– instead, a curious blend of social–conservatism rose to fill the void, and it was embraced

society; a pinnacle to aspire to, fit, mighty and strong. The reality is completely opposite; inside he is a quivering pile of fat, robed with "rags and

radiant appearance. He is nervous about the outcome of the battle, whether he will live to charge gloriously into battle once again. Despite his steely
skin, the knight is little different from the lower classes of society, poor, almost naked and mortal. The knight cannot avoid the one fate that envelops
all mankind with his pure appearance, his fraudulent true self cannot be covered fancifully with wooing society. Rich portrays a sense that although

In today's world, the modern person is educated, independent and aggressive. To be a success, you must put forth your most competitive side and win

usually based on the best dowry, rather than being based on love like most modern marriages.
Traditional societies believe that family heritage is what holds a family together. These societies have ascriptive values, meaning to follow their
family's ancestry and way of life. In modern culture, an individual has the power to decide for him/herself as to what he/she wants to attain in life –
including an education, career and mate. To those of us living in a modern world, traditional societies may seem to have it rough. However, to those
living the traditional way, their life is set for them. They need not worry about how powerful they will be or how much money they will make. Their
life brings them security.
Medical knowledge is less than adequate in these societies, leading to much illness and a very high death rate. The infant mortality rate is
overwhelmingly high, which is a reason for the high birth rates. Many infants do not make it through their first year of life before they get deathly ill –
most of them do eventually die from their illness. The medical technology of modern society is so expensive to third world countries, making it

Freud 's Theory Of The Human Personality
Freud's theory of the human personality consisted of 3 parts, the Id, Ego, and Superego. The Id is the inner child. Freud's Theory also separates the Id
into two subcategories, Eros (the parent–loving libido) and Thanatos (the self–preservation instinct), also known as the life and death instincts,
respectively. The Ego, or the "I", is the self–awareness part of the brain. This part takes into account reality and tries to compromise between Id and
the real world. The Superego, or the "above I" applies moral principles to the Ego's solutions [McLeod, Id, Ego, Superego]. Many times this works,
but sometimes these systems of judgment fail. This applies not only to people, but also to societies, as represented in The Crucible. The Id, as
mentioned previously, is the need and want driven part of one's psyche. The girls who were pretending to be ailed and bewitched are the Id of the
society, acting primarily upon Thanatos, their will to live and preserve their own lives. The power of the Id, combined with the Ego, but lacking the
Superego, can be a powerful force to recon with, especially in ones so young. This is evident in the part of the play when Mary is testifying in court
against the girls. At first Mary is trying to persevere against them, "MARY: They're sporting...! GIRLS: (Cutting her off.) They're sporting! MARY:

The Venetian Society in Othello by William Shakespeare
Othello by William Shakespeare raises the issue of how rampant beliefs and attitudes in a society can cause a person to question their sense of self. In
a society where racial equality is near non–existent, Othello, a black skinned foreigner in the Venetian society, is constantly reminded of his status as
an outsider. Othello, however, is not depicted in a stereotypical manner and despite occupying a highly respected position he is often confronted with
blatant racism throughout the play. The prevailing attitudes and beliefs of Venetian society towards Othello are exploited by Iago in order to
manipulate Othello's self confidence and emotional state. The fear of interracial marriage in Venetian society is used by Iago in an attempt to alienate
Othello. Othello himself acknowledges the fact that interracial marriage is frowned upon and that racism still applies to him despite his position. A
common attitude in Venetian society is that black men and women are inhuman and animalistic in nature; Iago capitalizes on this idea in order to aid
his plan of antagonizing Othello. Brabantio, Desdemona's father, is a prime example of the attitude of Venetian society as a whole, in the sense that he
"loved" Othello as long as he remained a servant of Venice and would rather Othello not intermingle amongst the Venetian society. Initially Brabantio

Analysis Of Canzon Septimi A 8

  • 1. Analysis Of Canzon Septimi A 8 Many ensembles across the world dedicate time to learning and performing early renaissance music. When practicing music not from this era, it is easy to perform it incorrectly and not give the work the justice it deserves. Ensembles that do not take careful time and consideration to study the style of early music and the techniques they must use when performing these pieces, ultimately fail when attempting to perform early music. When performing early music, such as Canzon Septimi Toni a 8, musicians must study the styles and techniques musicians in that time period implemented, reciprocate the tone, timbre and articulations used in the renaissance era for this specific work, transpose the piece to their instrument, and know the differences between early and modern instrumentation needed to perform the piece. Giovanni Gabrieli, the man who composed Canzon Septimi Toni a 8, was a well known Renaissance composer born in 1556. Not only that, but he was an organist and teacher who learned everything he knew from his uncle, Andrea Gabrieli, whom he has to thank for his musical upbringing. Gabrieli himself was highly regarded and praised for his contributions to instrumental music for church use as well as choral and instrumental motets. Gabrieli also made use of the San Marco church layout; the two separate choir lofts in the church allowed him to create salient spatial effects, which in turn heavily influenced his style of music. Unfortunately, his health began to suffer and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Early Western Civilization: Molded by Conflict or Consensus The question has been posed whether early Western Civilization was molded by conflict between civilizations or by consensus between divergent civilizations. Although it can be argued that both conflict and consensus have affected the development of Western Civilization, one of these has had more of an influence than the other. As early as Ca 3000, at the dawn of civilization, there has been conflict. When the city–states of Sumer were established, warfare and competition broke out due to disagreements on land and water rights. This tradition of conflict has continued throughout history all the way up to modern times. Based on the outcomes of the many conflicts throughout history, it appears that civilization has been molded more by these conflicts than consensus between divergent civilizations. Looking at political, cultural, and religious aspects of the history of Western Civilization, one can see the influence that conflict had on shaping said civilization. The ways that conflict has shaped the political characteristics of Western Civilization are evident when looking at historic expansions of civilizations and the imperialism that accompanies such expansions. As leaders expanded their reign and land holdings by conquering other peoples, a need to govern those holdings and citizens arose. As Hammurabi conducted campaigns to expand his empire, he developed what has become known as Hammurabi's Code to help govern his people. Many of the laws in the Code still currently ...

  • 3. Flooding In Venice : The Bay Of The Venetian Lagoon Venice is a famous city located in northeastern Italy, and is officially a UNESCO world heritage site. It is composed of 118 islands tucked within the Venetian Lagoon. The bay of the Venetian Lagoon is enclosed by the enormous Po and Piave Rivers. Centuries ago around 450 A.D, its location was selected based on the original settlers' desires for a remote and inaccessible location. In fact, Venice's first inhabitants were refugees that had fled after the collapse of the Roman Empire. Currently, Venice is struggling with adapting to climate change. Slowly but surely, rising sea levels will devour the city of Venice, leaving the people with an inevitable problem to solve. Often, Venice experiences severe flooding due to large incoming tides, heavy rainfall, and wind. In 1966 Venice experienced its worst flood in history. TheVenetian Lagoonraised 6 feet above sea level, causing a great deal of damage to the city's infrastructure and architectural marvels. Flooding seems to be getting worse and worse each year, which is taking its toll on the city's masonry and foundations. It is has become so severe, that many residents of Venice have evacuated their ground floor. There is a clear link between the increase in Venice's flooding, the melting of polar ice caps, and the warming of the ocean. The city's sea level has raised 5 inches since the year 1900. In contrast, over the last 1000 years the city's sea level has only raised 1 foot. Due to the recent acceleration of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

A teenage boy dumps his girlfriend of two years for a stranger he just met on Facebook. A group of kids get in a fatal car accident because the driver was texting. All of these people are real life examples of the negative impacts of digital technology on society. Technology has been evolving for hundreds of years. As it has become more advanced, the more it has taken a hold of the community. Digital technology is universal and there is no way to avoid it, but people need to start using it more responsibly. Everything gets taken for granted now that there are so many technological sources. Although there are a moderate amount of positive effects, the negative aspects ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... A wall is created and distraction is always present. Texting while another person is talking can be put on the same level as talking and interrupting the same person that is already speaking. Society, especially schools, considers that type of behavior particularly disrespectful. Why then, has technology usage during real life conversations become socially acceptable? Not only does it create a distraction when conversing, but in more serious matters as well. Driving while using any sort of digital technology is the same as driving blind folded. Too many technologically related accidents have been reported to accept that it is still occurring. Though not all distractions are life threatening, such as missing the bus because a cell phone was the main focus instead, but they all have consequences that multiple people become connected to. Lutz Koepnick, a media professor at Washington University who studies digital culture feels that "The transformation of the American living room into a multiscreen communication and entertainment hub promises to 'change our domestic sphere'... Individual family members might find themselves contently to parallel worlds almost all of the time." It is clearly evident that technology has fully infiltrated the lives of everyone in this information age. Families within the same household are becoming divided over the strong influence of digital media. Even experts on the subject are affected all throughout their daily lives. Digital distraction, ...

  • 5. Is Civilization the Answer to the Chaos? As Mark Twain once said, "Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities." The society believes that civilization is the solution to disorder and chaos, but sometimes it creates more problems than solutions. To the imperial Europeans, turning the natives into civilized human beings was the main goal, and that is why they felt as if it was their job to take over the natives' lands. In general, civilization is seen as a solution to a utopian realm. William Shakespeare in The Tempest and Michel de Montaigne in Of Cannibals narrow their focus on the idea of "nature vs. civilization." Both authors discuss the idea of how nature is replaced by civilization and the outcome is not as expected. Shakespeare portrays the idea of Caliban's nature being wiped away by Prospero, who thinks his knowledge is the best weapon he has so he should be the one to control the island. Montaigne, on the other hand, discusses how the natives are better off by sticking to their nature than being civilized because the Western society does not realize that it is barbaric also. William Shakespeare, in The Tempest, writes about Prospero who has the ability to manipulate things by using magic. He and his daughter now live in this island with a slave named Caliban. Prospero has taken over the island and decided to control everything. He can manipulate everyone and everything. He thinks having a lot of knowledge makes him the leader of the island. Prospero's hunger for power comes ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Educational Philosophy of John Dewey Essay The Educational Philosophy of John Dewey John Dewey is known as leader of the progressive movement in the history of the American education system and his book, Democracy and Education: an introduction to the philosophy of education, could be used as a textbook to teach the foundations of the movement. Discrediting all previous educational and philosophic approaches as intellectually incomplete or inaccurate, Dewey first presents a new perspective on the nature of knowledge, education, society and philosophy. One fundamental theme of Dewey's progressive movement is that education is growth and that growth is, in and of itself, the objective. Rejecting any notion of innate knowledge or of an ideal goal to strive for, the progressive ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Societies can be, by definition, small associations of like minded individuals with narrow aims or large nations with broad, diverse aims. Dewey offers two standards which can be applied to assess the value of a society: How numerous and varied are the interests which are consciously shared? How full and free is the interplay with other forms of association? By applying these two questions, the natural conclusion of the ideal society is democratic, that is to say one that offers its citizens the freedom of expression and communication. If a democracy represents an ideal society that presents the maximum number of common interests and the maximum opportunities for association with other societies, then it also represents the ideal society in its potential for growth. Any society with a near limitless potential for growth must redefine the concept of knowledge in order to gain efficiencies in its education system. Previous attempts at defining knowledge were flawed, in the mind of the Progressivist, by directly stating or implying a division or duality that presents a barrier to free intercourse of ideas. Examples of these dualities are that of different classes within a society such as rich vs poor, noble vs lower class, ruler vs ruled or that of the physical vs metaphysical worlds. Any duality serves to separate knowledge from action, a continuity which is proclaimed as ideal. Any piece of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. The Transformation of Society in "The City of the End of... The future of society is an often unpredictable topic due to its many variables. In "The Lost Island" and in "The City of the End of Things", the future is depicted as something detrimental to the society each story represents. In Pauline Johnson's short story, "The Lost Island", this concept is manifested in the visions given by the Medicine Man, who foretells the oppression of his people by the arrival of the colonizers. In Archibald Lampman's poem, "The City of the End of Things", this concept is expressed through the downfall of greater human society in favour of a colder, more robotic age. These two texts exemplify the variable nature of the future by focusing on the harmful possibilities that may befall society. Each of these... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In the poem "The City of the End of Things", the narrator recalls the manner in which humanity existed before the rise of the technological era so that the current environment has a greater impact. The story "The Lost Island" represents the status of the Aboriginal people as the confirmation of a prophecy which foretold their inevitable oppression. This detrimental state of their society is the result of the foreseen arrival of the non–Aboriginal people to Vancouver. The prophecy that foretold this states of the people is told by the character known only as "my old tallicum [friend]" (Johnson 233). Within the story, this character is telling another, unnamed character, a specific story about the history of their people (Johnson 233). According to this story, an old medicine man was once plagued by visions of the future. He was described as hearing voices throughout his life, which told him about the inevitable arrival of "the white man...many hundreds of them, many thousands of them" (Johnson 234). The prophecy continued, claiming that "the Indians will learn [the white man's] ways...will become as they are...it will be as if the Indians had lost all bravery, all courage, all confidence" (Johnson 234). The accuracy of this prophecy is made clear in earlier passages of the story. "The Lost Island" began with the main character saying, "we Indians have lost...our lands...[our] language and the legends and the traditions..." (Johnson 233). From this it is ...

I honest believe this is the only remedy for providing up to date technology, the company has to make it a priority to provide the same technology to the global environment. The customs can be corrected by provided a print out of what is allowed and what is not allowed to be brought into or out of a country a passenger is traveling through. The information is available online but some older passengers aren't as savvy with technology so they may not receive the same information. With this tactic there is not any excuse for not knowing what is expected when going through customs. The strategies I stated above will be successful, only if they are applied. Without application the strategy will be a failure. Within the domestic environment the security system can be significantly improved and decrease the risk for terrorist attacks greatly. This technology needs to be protected by requiring a security clearance for all employees who work for the company. This way you have a thorough back ground check on everyone who works for US Airways Group and the risk for inside information getting out to enemies of the United States is low.

  • 9. A Scientifically Literate Population Is The Essential... Earlier this year, the Washington State Department of Health reported the first confirmed measles–related death in the United States since 2003. Although the woman herself had been vaccinated for measles, she was infected by another patient with measles while she was taking immune system suppressants. This event is a symbol of the foreboding issue currently facing our society––that of scientific illiteracy. We live in a highly interconnected society, and each person is not only responsible for himself, he is also responsible for the lives of everyone else in his community. In our dynamic world where new ideas are constantly being tested, new technologies are constantly being invented, and new developments are constantly being discovered, we as a society must also adapt our level of scientific understanding, so that we are able to make informed decisions about our lives. A scientifically literate population is the essential cornerstone of an innovative culture. To be scientifically literate means to be able to ask questions, collect information, and apply what we learned to solve problems and communicate results to the public. And as a consumer, as a professional, and as a citizen of this democracy, we must be empowered to form educated opinions so that we are less likely to make mistaken decisions, or misled by others. Yet various polls and surveys have shown that scientific literacy in the United States is staggeringly low. Why is this? Part of the problem arises from the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 10. Contributions And Influence : Jacopo Bassano : The... Rogan Crumley The Renaissance When the Renaissance started in the 1300s in Florence Italy, it was the end of dark times("The Renaissance"). It started a period of rebirth for the arts of Ancient Greek and Rome. During this time Rome started to rediscover the works of the Greeks and Romans(The Renaissance 00:40:00). There were also many innovations not only in art, such as the printing press. This enthusiasm spread all around Europe. The Renaissance spread to France, Germany, England and by the end of the Renaissance in the 1600s all the way to the Netherlands("The Renaissance").It affected Europe greatly in many ways, especially in the world of painting. Before the Renaissance most painting were dull single figure scenes. However, during the Renaissance more colors and detail was being seen in paintings(The Renaissance 00:40:00).One of the painters who truly showed this was Jacopo Bassano. Jacopo Bassano was not a widely known artist, but because of his vibrant and detailed paintings such as The Supper at Emmaus he had a big influence on the Renaissance and is remembered to this day. Jacopo Bassano was born in 1517 in Bassano del Grappa, Italy. When Jacopo Bassano was born he was immediately emersed into the world of art. This was largely becuase of his father Francesco the Elder. Francesco the elder was a exceptional provincial painter, he was one of Jacopo's biggest influences. He began to show Jacopo the wonders of painting at a very young age. Some people ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 11. Royal Ontario Museum Research Paper Museums are institutions of cultural, artistic, and scientific knowledge. They have taken many forms over the centuries, Older museums subscribed to elitist ideologies. The architecture and interior design of these highbrow establishments reflected this with either over the top grandeur or stark, blinding white galleries. However, has museum values became rooted in the community and public education, the architecture changed as well. The Royal Ontario Museum consists of two interconnected main buildings. The original build and its early 1933 renovation are an exemplar of traditional sensibilities. In stark contrast to them, however, is the Michael Lee–Chin Crystal which embodies the essence of new museum aesthetics. The design of the Royal Ontario Museum is a perfect blend of traditional and new museum values as is evident in its innovative design. Early 18th and 19th century museums and many other buildings were built in the neoclassical style. Inspiration was taken directly from recently excavated Roman ruins. Early museums acted more like over the top cabinets of wonder, catering only to academics and elite individuals. However as so too did museum designs. Of course, museums exist in a multitude of architectural styles. The list of historical buildings that act as museums is endless. International style arose to reflect the modernist art style and the social sensibilities of the 20th century. This design was often composed of simple material and straight lines. The goal of international style was to act as a blank canvas on which to display artworks. It wasn't until later in the 20th century that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The view about the influence these Special Interest Groups create is that their attempts are biased to their special interest and the interests of their clients. Unfortunately, the influence of the most well funded interest groups overshadows even the most well intentioned under funded interest groups.

One example of their impact is the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems proposed for use in public school children in California and other states, and as the new electronic passport for travelers.

"EPIC and other civil liberties groups have filed comments (pdf) to urge the State Department to scrap its plans to require RFID passports for all American travelers." (www.epic.org).

  • 13. Civilization and Its Discontents, by Sigmeund Freud Essay... "Civilization and Its Discontents" is a book written by Sigmund Freud in 1929 (originally titled "Das Unbehagen in der Kultur" or The Uneasiness in Culture.) This is considered to be one of Freud's most important and widely read works. In this book, Freud explains his perspective by enumerating what he sees as fundamental tensions between civilization and the individual. He asserts that this tension stems from the individual's quest for freedom and non–conformity and civilization's quest for uniformity and instinctual repression. Most of humankind's primitive instincts are clearly destructive to the health and well–being of a human community (such as the desire to kill.) As a direct result, civilization creates laws designed to prohibit ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Freud theorizes that this oceanic feeling is a regression into an earlier state of consciousness before the ego had differentiated itself from the world of objects. Freud also theorizes that the religious oceanic feeling arises from "the infant's helplessness and the longing for the father" and "imagine[s] that the oceanic feeling became connected with religion later on." In other words, the oceanic feeling is not a genuine religious experience, though people experience it that way. Throughout the rest of the book, Freud addresses the conflict between civilization and the individual. He starts with the fundamental paradox of civilization: we created civilization as a tool to protect ourselves from unhappiness; however it is our largest source of unhappiness. He also points out that contemporary technological advances have been a mixed blessing for human happiness. He also asks what the purpose of civilization is if it is not to satisfy the pleasure principal. He later concedes that civilization has to make compromises of happiness to fulfill its primary goal of bringing people into peaceful relationships with each other, by making them subject to a higher, communal authority. Freud included a cornucopia of various themes in this book. The first of these is the recurring theme of the primal father and his psychological heritage. This is one of Freud's most controversial cultural speculations. Freud proposes that human societies were ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Lorenzo Lotto's peripatetic career in Vasari's Lives" (I still need a better title) Why do we read Vasari's Lives? Surely not for the historical accuracy of the data he provides us nor for his scientific approach to the artist's biographies. We read what we consider a masterpiece of Italian literature mainly because, instead of concentrating on long tedious enumeration, exegetical and philological details or monotonous galleries of portraits, Vasari preferred to choose according to his taste, to stick to what he was given to know, to carefully consider and judge the paintings with his intelligence, sensibility and enthusiasm. This explains why it is interesting to analyse even a scanty biography as the one of Lorenzo Lotto in both the editions of the lives. Lotto's biography may be considered especially interesting in order to understand how an artist, who developed his own pictorial poetic, diametrically different from that of his fellow citizens, and who worked mainly in peripheral centres, entered the ranks of those painters, sculptors and architects whose memory Vasari has sought to preserve. In either edition of the Lives, Vasari devotes to Lotto a scanty biography shared with Jacopo Palma, also knew as Palma il Vecchio. In the Torrentini's edition, Lotto's life is particularly concise, to use a euphemism. Vasari literally reserves the artist's biography a one–tenth of the lines he uses to describe Palma's Life. ...

The Poem ' Barbie Doll ' By Marge Piercy The poem "Barbie Doll" by Marge Piercy in relation to diversity alludes to specific aspects of gender, mainly targeting the female gender perspective and expectations. In the poem, Piercy is writing about a young girl transitioning from a child to a women and how society and its idea of beauty affects her. My interpretation of the poem is that the girl is basically crying out for help saying look I am healthy, intelligent, and strong but no one sees or cares about those things because the only thing they see when they look at her is her outside appearance and what society considers to be the flaws that she possesses. Although this was written in 1936 Piercy accurately describes the feeling of being defined or constricted by society to think, act, and look a particular way which is similar to that of todays society which is fueled by social media, where some find personal gratification and self confidence fueled from likes and retweets they receive." Barbie doll " is the perfect title for this poem because for the longest time a Barbie was a sign of something perfect and beautiful, a toy enjoyed by everyone and a conventional symbol for little girls all over the United States.

Another important idea that Haddon refers to is having a disability segregates someone from the rest of the society and they are seen as eccentric. Christopher's disability not only affects him, but it also affects his family and the people surrounding him. Christopher's parents had no prior training as they have a disabled child as revealed to in the novel, this shows that the society has ignored those people with disability and has not taken special requirements in order to support them.

According to the New Oxford American Dictionary, the term "dragnet" is a symbol, for, a system of coordinated measures used to apprehend criminals or suspects. Most crime drama series solve a different case each episode. Although, in current pop–culture crime dramas focus on one particular crime, throughout an entire season. Similar, to the show "Homeland," the HBO crime drama TrueDetective adds a twist on the conventional series. The show depicts a subject matter that has affected modern society as a whole. Southern Louisiana police detectives Rust Cohle and Marty Hart, in 2012, are asked to revisit their solving of a ritualistic murder case from 1995. The murder of a former student of the Light of the Way Christian Academy lays the foundation, for detective Cohle's doubts about the true design of religion. The True Detective storyline portrays the utilization of religion, education, and politics, by men in power who manipulate and control young innocent children. Questioning the validity of religion within a crime drama series is relative to modern society.

Interpretation of the symbolism behind the mask varies, however the rings are thought to invoke both the ridges of a black moth chrysalis, representing a girl's transformation into a woman, and the ripples of water created as a leader rose from the water, the home of female spirits. The masks elaborately braided hair and scarification also refer to the appearance of this leader and what was considered ideally beautiful. The expression on the face is to convey the wisdom, grace, and self control that the young women would hopefully inherit. The third mask also deals with a secret society. This carved wood "Helmet Mask" (inventory # 5–13259) is thought to be from the Bamileke society of Cameroon and is dated to about 1976. Used in a men's secret society known as the Kwifo ("night"), masks in this style disguised the members identities as they acted as a police force for the king. The Kwifo mediated conflicts, pronounced legal sentences, and carried out the resulting punishments. Different masks represented the various powers of the group and the carved headdress of this mask mirrors the prestige caps worn by elites and kings.

  • 24. The Annihilation Of Space By Law Q4. Don Mitchell, in his article 'The Annihilation of Space by Law,' argues that ordinances passed against the poor in the 1990s point to a highly exclusionary type of modern citizenship. What does he mean by this? In what ways are the poor excluded from modern citizenship? How is this exclusion justified socio–politically? Space is never innocent. Regardless of whether a specific area is deemed public or private, space is never innocent because of the bodies who govern those areas. Today, there are approximately 3.2 million Canadians who are either homeless or "transitionally" homeless, but regardless of their citizenship, they are not considered as "modern citizens" by the society. Mitchell puts forth the argument that the ordinances passed in the 1990s has stripped vagrants of their rights as actual Canadian citizens and has created an elite class of citizenship that only the privilege can enjoy. According to the Canadian government, an individual is deemed as a citizen of Canada if they fulfill certain requirements such as being born in the country, applying for a citizenship, or being born to at least one Canadian parent. With this citizenship, these individuals can now experience a wide variety of privileges such as having the ability to vote, to either enter or leave the country, and to enjoy all the rights and freedoms that are associated with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The product may be visually appealing, from a desirable brand, or presented as a solution to the viewer's problem such as anti–aging cream for wrinkles. Such is the case for an ad for The Venetian resort and casino in Vanity Fair, a high –end magazine. Featured in the ad is an older woman sitting invitingly on a luxurious white bed with bountiful pillows. This ad may appeal to a high socio–economic class of viewers with a desire to belong in a high–class society in accordance with a term called snob appeal (134), coined by Stuart Hirschberg, the Associate Professor at Rutgers University. The argument suggests advancing age will not interfere with having fun by targeting a specific audience, using unconventional visual appeals, a logical text structure, The Venetian's status to establish credibility, and opportune timing.

Because they are imposed on human mentality rather then inherent in the human condition, the needs which arise within an individual in this way are not truly necessary. Marcuse's term for these unnecessary needs is &quot;false needs.&quot; It seems a feature of his definition that &quot;false needs&quot; are distinguished by their being imposed on the individual by social interests beyond her own control. To this definition Marcuse adds the contention that such needs are invariably harmful, a point which requires empirical support. He writes that these conditioned needs are &quot;the needs which perpetuate toil, aggressiveness, misery, and injustice&quot; (5). How does this happen? One can view Marcuse's account of the harm arising from the creation of false needs as a direct reponse to an anticipated objection by an adherent of liberal political theory. The liberal theorist might argue that providing certain basic freedoms, perhaps a right to self–determination, must be the primary goal of society. This goal must take precedence over other aspects ofhuman life, and the liberal theorist might even argue that bodily sustenance is worthless without basic freedoms.

Ranging from early cave writings, to sign language, to the language and slang we all know and use today, language among not only our cultures but also others have vastly changed and there is proof of this that dates back to ancient times. The mere complexity of our current language is beyond what past civilizations could have even imagined it would come to be. What I find to be very interesting is the fact that even today our upbringing, social class, or cultural norms, can define how we speak. For instance, there are certain slangs or terms that someone may say because they were brought up around people who spoke using that kind of language. While this is true for some, but not all, children of an upper class parents may grow up speaking very formally, and be taught to not use any slang or vulgar words. They continue using this vocabulary further on in life because it is what they were taught to do.

Where as men view morale issues with a "don't interfere with my rights" view, women focus more on the "responsibility" end of the morale involved. Thus we can conclude, thanks to the comparative method, that the constructed truth that all people view morale issues the same is not a correct one. Another quick example of a cross–gender comparison would be that of the house–wife. Still today most men view the role of the married woman as one that involves being a house–wife, in the traditional sense of the term. However, women today certainly would not view themselves in the same manner. The data collected from a comparison such as this could help to dereify this socially constructed truth.

Peter Singer, author of The Most Good You Can Do, defines effective altruism as "a philosophy and social movement which applies evidence and reason to working out the most effective ways to improve the world" (Singer, 2015, p. 4–5). Given this definition, who are effective altruists? They are individuals who wish to make positive contributions to society by considering their course of action in an objective manner. To make this clearer, Singer contrasts effective altruists from "warm glow givers" (Singer, 2015, p. 5). Warm glow givers donate to charities to feel good without truly understanding how their donations are utilized to help people. Hence, these givers will offer their donations not to the most pressing causes, but to causes that appeal to their heart. On the other hand, effective altruists do not immediately act based on their emotions. Instead, they take a moment to step back and critically analyze if a certain action will help as much people as they hope it will. In short, they want to target the most urgent issues by maximizing whatever resources they have for the benefit of a larger group of people. Since effective altruism is a movement aimed at helping the most people, who are these people that altruists hope to help? It is clear to me from this chapter that so far, the goal of effective altruism is to uplift the poor.

Peoples who spent thousands of years living near each other and their animals developed resistance to many communicable diseases. Groups who weren't subject to these pressures did not develop the same resistance.

There is no free speech or freedom of the press; certain religions or ideas may be banned. "We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One, indivisible and forever." This plays a great part in the book because" we" is what the people refer to as themselves. Everyone is equal to each other and there is no "I".

In the aftermath of the Final War (as people called it, when referring to the conflict that gave rise to Polis), things changed.

The Knight portrays what every man, woman and child must inevitably decide on: to expose their true face or to hide behind a false mask to please others. The initial line "A knight rides into the noon" evokes a sense that the knight, a chivalrous and pure being, is riding gallantly into the noon, where the sun's brightness is at its apex. When... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The knight's only animate part of himself "is his eye"; the rest is iron or steed. His body is "a lump of bitter jelly set in a metal mask", in other words a slob in an iron panoply set upon a mount. His shining appearance gives the illusion that the knight is a shining example of medieval society; a pinnacle to aspire to, fit, mighty and strong. The reality is completely opposite; inside he is a quivering pile of fat, robed with "rags and tatters" which clothe him beneath the metal suit. The knight is no different from any other man, the battle "wears his nerves to ribbons" despite his radiant appearance. He is nervous about the outcome of the battle, whether he will live to charge gloriously into battle once again. Despite his steely skin, the knight is little different from the lower classes of society, poor, almost naked and mortal. The knight cannot avoid the one fate that envelops all mankind with his pure appearance, his fraudulent true self cannot be covered fancifully with wooing society. Rich portrays a sense that although we all can all wear masks to cover our true natures; we cannot hide forever behind this false front. If an enemy "unhorse[s] this rider and frees him between the walls of iron", what will become of the knight? His pure, chivalrous, fake mask might be shattered and his true stout nature will be revealed to all, his coveted emblems "crushing ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 36. Lord of the Flies by William Golding and the Philosophy of... Rousseau and Golding are both philosophers and are both known for different similar topics. Rousseau is known for his first book, A Discourse on the Sciences and Arts, about his philosophies saying that man is good. Golding is known for his bestselling novel he ever wrote, Lord of The Flies, also expressing his philosophies saying that man is evil. Rousseau and Golding have many contrasts that fight against each other's philosophies but was never spoken to each other because they lived in different time periods. My view on the spirit of a human without order is that humans are all good even though some don't show it. Jean–Jacques Rousseau's philosophies were published in 1762 to explain the good of man. His philosophies explained reasoning is what causes societies to corrupt the good of man and humans are just naturally good by themselves. Also Rousseau's beliefs show that humans are good physically and mentally also believes," modern man's enslavement to his own needs was responsible for all sorts of societal ills,"<http://www.sparknotes.com/philosophy/rousseau/th emes.html>. All of his philosophies are based of the ideas of modern philosophies saying that if humans didn't have a governments or societies, what would their natural characteristics be and saying those characteristics are permanent and would never change. So Rousseau took this philosophy and added on to it saying humans are good naturally so the characteristic of being good is permanent and will never ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 37. Traditional vs. Modern Society Essay example Traditional vs. Modern Society In today's world, the modern person is educated, independent and aggressive. To be a success, you must put forth your most competitive side and win it all. Nothing less will be permitted. This is the mindset of most business tycoons, stockbrokers and the like. However, on the other side of the globe, third world countries follow a more traditional lifestyle where the outlook on life is a little less malicious. In these countries, the society's idea of success is being part of a large family with prosperous crops and livestock. How is it that our society and theirs have both been successful? And why has the traditional way of life stayed so prevalent in such an industrialized world? First, what exactly ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Females do give birth to the children, but in these societies, a female is more like a piece of property than of heritage. Marriage in these societies is usually based on the best dowry, rather than being based on love like most modern marriages. Traditional societies believe that family heritage is what holds a family together. These societies have ascriptive values, meaning to follow their family's ancestry and way of life. In modern culture, an individual has the power to decide for him/herself as to what he/she wants to attain in life – including an education, career and mate. To those of us living in a modern world, traditional societies may seem to have it rough. However, to those living the traditional way, their life is set for them. They need not worry about how powerful they will be or how much money they will make. Their life brings them security. Medical knowledge is less than adequate in these societies, leading to much illness and a very high death rate. The infant mortality rate is overwhelmingly high, which is a reason for the high birth rates. Many infants do not make it through their first year of life before they get deathly ill – most of them do eventually die from their illness. The medical technology of modern society is so expensive to third world countries, making it extremely difficult for their society to stay healthy. Life expectancy is about 40–45 years in traditional societies. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Another solution was the campaigning proposal, where protectors of human rights helped increase public awareness of exactly what is going on and to what extent women are exploited. the article was completely pro the abolishment of trafficking and prostitution practices and there were no arguments or debates in defense of the practices taking place in society. There are a number of measures that should be undertaken by society for the improvement of the existing situation before it gets any worse, making it harder to fix later on, which would lead to a degraded corrupted society in the possible near future. as the article mentioned, churches should be a big part in the process of helping the exploited woman with the trauma their jobs brought to them. Also, the public should be made clearly aware of the situation, and all the details included in the issue of prostitution and how traffickers force it upon their employees. Also, more patrollers should be made available to try and control the situation by arresting traffickers, which may also scare off other traffickers involved in similar situations. These among many other solutions deal with the short term perspective of these issues, but more extreme issues should be taken into deep consideration for the general prevalence of such isuues to be significantly reduced in the Cypriot society.

  • 39. Freud 's Theory Of The Human Personality Freud's theory of the human personality consisted of 3 parts, the Id, Ego, and Superego. The Id is the inner child. Freud's Theory also separates the Id into two subcategories, Eros (the parent–loving libido) and Thanatos (the self–preservation instinct), also known as the life and death instincts, respectively. The Ego, or the "I", is the self–awareness part of the brain. This part takes into account reality and tries to compromise between Id and the real world. The Superego, or the "above I" applies moral principles to the Ego's solutions [McLeod, Id, Ego, Superego]. Many times this works, but sometimes these systems of judgment fail. This applies not only to people, but also to societies, as represented in The Crucible. The Id, as mentioned previously, is the need and want driven part of one's psyche. The girls who were pretending to be ailed and bewitched are the Id of the society, acting primarily upon Thanatos, their will to live and preserve their own lives. The power of the Id, combined with the Ego, but lacking the Superego, can be a powerful force to recon with, especially in ones so young. This is evident in the part of the play when Mary is testifying in court against the girls. At first Mary is trying to persevere against them, "MARY: They're sporting...! GIRLS: (Cutting her off.) They're sporting! MARY: (Turning on them all, hysterically and stamping her feet.) Abby, stop it! GIRLS: (Stamping their feet.) Abby, stop it!" [Miller, 48] Eventually, her Id ...

  • 40. The Venetian Society in Othello by William Shakespeare Othello by William Shakespeare raises the issue of how rampant beliefs and attitudes in a society can cause a person to question their sense of self. In a society where racial equality is near non–existent, Othello, a black skinned foreigner in the Venetian society, is constantly reminded of his status as an outsider. Othello, however, is not depicted in a stereotypical manner and despite occupying a highly respected position he is often confronted with blatant racism throughout the play. The prevailing attitudes and beliefs of Venetian society towards Othello are exploited by Iago in order to manipulate Othello's self confidence and emotional state. The fear of interracial marriage in Venetian society is used by Iago in an attempt to alienate Othello. Othello himself acknowledges the fact that interracial marriage is frowned upon and that racism still applies to him despite his position. A common attitude in Venetian society is that black men and women are inhuman and animalistic in nature; Iago capitalizes on this idea in order to aid his plan of antagonizing Othello. Brabantio, Desdemona's father, is a prime example of the attitude of Venetian society as a whole, in the sense that he "loved" Othello as long as he remained a servant of Venice and would rather Othello not intermingle amongst the Venetian society. Initially Brabantio "oft invited [Othello]" to his home and "queston'd [him] the story of [his] life", showing an admiration and sincere interest for Othello's ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
