Art can be indeed very insightful into the lifestyle as well as the emotional and cultural disposition of the people responsible for the creation of the art. This is because art is a direct reflection of culture and lifestyle. The study of pieces of art from a given culture can reveal a great deal of information about the people who produced the piece of art as well as the historic period in which the art piece was produced. The following essay takes more of a descriptive paradigm as far as art is concerned. This means that the essay is exclusively inclined towards the ...

The Arab Spring has been going on for the last two years. While the peaceful protest that started in Tunisia was over in the country after about 3 months, it took Libya about 6 months to finally stampede over the authoritative regime of Kaddafi. Kaddafi’s fall however, did not actualize the desires of a liberal and progressive democracy. Libya’s revolution backfired as the absence of a central authority led to civil unrest and the rise of extremists’ movements. In Egypt, the fall of Hosni Mubarak in 2011 was seen as the culmination of freedom and the triumph of democracy ...

While reading "Computer Graphics: Effects of Origins" I was trying to find the connection among art, science, real life and the role of technology in everyday life. It seems that technology is necessary in every aspect of today's life. "Teams from multiple disciplines are working in academic institutions developing scientific visualization and cognitive and perceptual research; in government research for defense and other practical applications; and in advertising and entertainment" (Jones 52).
When talking about art created by machines, I don't think that this product will ever be considered an artwork. Something that is created without a human being ...

Analysis of four Works of Art

Peter Paul Rubens painted his work The Arrival of Marie de’ Medici at Marseilles in 1622-1625 to commemorate the actual arrival of Marie in France (Tansey and Kleiner, 851). The artist turned his painting into a theatrical stage, reflecting all the ideals of the Baroque style. The figures of Marie and her ladies in waiting are presented in a magnificence and grandeur that are typical of the style. The ship and the textiles give a sense of richness. At the same time, the lower part of the painting, depicting mythological figures rejoicing for Marie’s safe arrival, is full of movement and ...

The dream with which I used the Dream Dictionary involved the one I saw myself besides a calm river. I was sitting besides the river relaxing and later decided to cross the river in order to get to a city across the river, which I never did.

Dream Dictionary indicated that seeing such a dream is an indication that one is going with the flow. It means that one is allowing life to flow away, and ...

Mozart vs. Stravinsky

Mozart
The Mozart piece Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is piece of music that was composed in around 1787 for a chamber assembly by Mozart himself. From what I have heard it is an assembly of a number of instruments and in specific two viola, cello, and violins and it has a non-compulsory double bass, nonetheless it is usually executed by string orchestras.
The piece of music first starts with a lot of psych. This gives one an adrenaline rush as the violins rise aggressively in like a rocket like theme. It later on changes from being aggressive to being graceful. This brings the ...

Due to this, certain parts of the business could be neglected and because of that it could suffer. Moreover, employees withdrawing money and deciding their own pays with their accountant could cause excessive problems. It would be hard to keep track ...

The Northern Renaissance is an interesting period in the history of art and artists like Rogier Van der Weyden have produced works that are still admired today. One of his paintings, the Crucifixion, will be examined in this short essay.
The painting was created with oil colors on oak panels and the technique of dendrochronology dates it to c. 1460. It consists of two rectangular panels joined together to form one entity. In the 1990’s it was reconstructed and X rays showed dowel holes that suggest that it was probably part of a bigger sculptural structure, perhaps an ...

Neoclassical paintings were prevalent during the late 18th century. In France, the era was led by a French painter David Louis who lived between 1748 and 1825. The neoclassical paintings generally put emphasis on austere linear design in depicting the subject matter. During the French revolution, a new style of painting arose.

Video in Opera Stage

Introduction
Advances in technology and the corresponding creation of digital technologies have significantly impacted the performing arts (Poole & Ho, 2011). Opera has not escaped the technological advancements and as such, new forms of opera have emerged in both digital and virtual formats (Symonds & Karantonis, 2013). Salter (2010) explains that since the 1990s, the scenography of opera has emerged with technological advancements transforming stages into video and monitor accompaniments. The obvious payoff is an enhanced experiential, virtual reality of the opera’s stage. The new technologies blur the lines between the opera’s stage and the motion picture common in ...

Abstract

A nurse is likely to face different worldviews constantly in their line of work. Such worldviews are often shaped by different religious and cultural beliefs. The question of euthanasia for patients with terminal illnesses lends itself to different worldviews and interpretations. George’s condition of ALS has forced him to consider euthanasia. From, a Christian standpoint, this choice is wrong because only God the Creator has the authority over life and death. Also, Buddhism does not favor euthanasia. The question of the causes of sickness also lends itself to religious interpretation. Christian interpretations are varied. One view is that ...

Where in the World We Might Be Headed Next?

It is almost certain that the world order that it was – when the United States was the only superpower – is now changing. In fact, the profound social change from the initial simple world characterized by democracy and common desirable goals seems to be less dominant. Today, nations are more divided as they lack a particular common drive that is truly an international agenda.

According to Doug Saunders (2014), the possibilities can be forecasted according to five contemplates scenarios. This paper selects “a New Cold ...

With an ever changing technological know-how, the structure of management and leadership is bound to change (Wallace, Tolley-Stokes&Estep, 2011, pg 52). Various industries are forced to change how they manage and handle their marketing strategies to ensure they keep up with the new technology (Treat, 2011, pg56). If a company fails to embrace and incorporate the various upcoming strategies in management and leadership and choose to use the traditional methods, it is bound to lose its customer base. Use of methods that have been deemed redundant and bureaucratic may, therefore, lead to loss (Pitsis, 2011,pg85).The methodsmake it necessary ...

Introduction

The courts judicial review and constitutional interpretation has been a central rational objection for democracy.

Introduction

The traditional system of the United States federal government consists of the Congress, the Executive, and the Courts. Congress passes the laws, the Executive enforces the laws, and the Courts interpret the laws. But this is a dramatic over-simplication of the way in which the government carries out its functions and duties. Congress and the President will often delegate their authority to agencies that are tasked with performing specific government functions and objectives. Because the number of government agencies is so voluminous and vast, a large body of agency law has emerged.

For an invention to qualify as intellectual property, it must meet particular requirements. Primarily, the invention has to be novel. This means it does not exist in any other form or as a different artifact. The general term used to denote previously existing form, such as written ...
