The document discusses major artistic movements in the early 20th century in response to World War I and social changes. Artists such as Picasso, Braque, and Kandinsky rebelled against realistic styles and sought to depict inner emotions over outer appearances. Styles like Cubism and Expressionism emphasized color and form over realism. Dadaism and Surrealism further rejected rationality in their anti-art works. Freud's theories also influenced thinking by exploring the unconscious mind.

29. New Revolutions in Science Exploring the unimaginable

30. Sigmund Freud Psychoanalyst Freud’s theory: Unconscious and Subconscious mind Oedipus complex Id, Ego, Superego “Freudian slips” Freud’s ideas weakened faith in reason

31. Unconscious and Subconscious mind Only in dreams…. Freud believed that many people "repress" painful memories deep into their unconscious mind. This leads to neuroses that the individual may not understand their origin. Freud also argued that the act of repression did not take place within a person's consciousness. Thus, people are unaware of the fact that they have buried memories or traumatic experiences.

32. Oedipus complex Unconscious (dynamically repressed) ideas and feelings between the ages of three and five, which center around the desire to possess the parent of the opposite sex and eliminate the parent of the same sex

33. Id Ego Superego Id is known as the child-like portion of the psyche (that is very impulsive and only takes into account what it wants and disregards all consequences.) Super-ego is the moral code of the psyche (that solely follow right and wrong and takes into account no special circumstances in which the morally right thing may not be right for that situation.) Ego is the balance between the two. It is the part of the psyche (that is, usually, portrayed in the person's action, and after the super-ego and id are balanced, the ego acts in a way that takes both impulses and morality into consideration)

That's relativity.” “ Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” “ I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

51. Gertrude Stein Tender Buttons: objects, food, rooms Consisting of word clusters chosen for their prosody, juxtaposed for the purpose of subverting commonplace dictionary meanings which Stein believed had largely lost their expressive force and ability to communicate. The words were re-defined using both their etymology and analysis of syllables by themselves. “ A Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose." is probably her most famous quote, often interpreted as meaning "things are what they are," a statement of the law of identity, Term coined by writer Gertrude Stein “ America is my country, but Paris is my hometown”

He is drawn into Gatsby's circle, becoming a witness to obsession and tragedy.

54. Existentialism There is no universal meaning to life. Each person creates his or her own meaning in life through actions and choices taken. AKA: Curly’s Law Curly: You know what the secret of life is? Mitch: No, what? Curly: This. Mitch: Your finger? Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don't mean s***. Mitch: That's great, but what's the one thing? Curly: That's what you've got to figure out.

55. Existentialism – What It Is and Isn’t What It Is Existentialism takes into consideration the underlying concepts: Human free will Human nature is chosen through life choices A person is best when struggling against their individual nature, fighting for life Decisions are not without stress and consequences There are things that are not rational Personal responsibility and discipline is crucial Society is unnatural and its traditional religious and secular rules are arbitrary Worldly desire is futile

56. What it is not… Existentialism is broadly defined in a variety of concepts and there can be no one answer as to what it is, yet it does not support any of the following: wealth, pleasure, or honor make the good life social values and structure control the individual accept what is and that is enough in life science can and will make everything better people are basically good but ruined by society or external forces “ I want my way, now!” or “It is not my fault!” mentality

59. The New Morality

60. Ideals of the loving family and personal satisfaction increased the importance of love and friendship within a marriage. The rise of young, single women in the workforce brought a new perspective on how women participate in society – as laborers and consumers. The rise of women attending college altered views of the intellectual status of women and increased their independence. The automobile allowed young people a chance to escape the confines of their parents’ home and gain their independence with increased private socializing opportunities.

80. Literature Langston Hughes What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?

81. Claude McKay If we must die, let it not be like hogs Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die, O let us nobly die, So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us though dead! O kinsmen we must meet the common foe! Though far outnumbered let us show us brave, And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow! What though before us lies the open grave? Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!

87. Strange Fruit Southern trees bear strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees. Pastoral scene of the gallant south, The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh, Then the sudden smell of burning flesh. Here is fruit for the crows to pluck, For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, Here is a strange and bitter crop.
