Berger College Essays Samples For Students

According to Berger, there is a relationship in the way we see and talk. He argues that before talking one must see to form the words describing what he sees. Berger believes that we view art in a different way than we did in the past. The main reason for us to see art in a different way is because we have introduced technology into our lives (Berger, 35). The way things were viewed in the past was also different because one could only view a certain painting in the same size and shape. The painting could not also ...

Ways of Seeing and The Matrix

Ways of Seeing by John Berger is one of the most talked about and influential books on art ever published in the world and The Matrix is one of the most famous films in cinema history. It was written based on the famous BBC’s film and was first published after its premiere in 1972 (Richardson 111).
His book is not a traditional view of the authors and artworks from a historical perspective, but rather an invitation to go behind the scenes and into the kitchen, where the mystery of creation acts, no matter how trivial it may seem ...

A Closer Glimpse on the Key Terms

As previously observed, it is possible to draw parallels between the following essays and movies and play “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education” by Paulo Freire and Dead Poets Society, “The Achievement of Desire” by Richard Rodriguez and Six Degrees of Separation, and “Ways of Seeing” by John Berger and The Matrix. All three works raise a number of important issues, manifestations of which may be found on the example of the characters of these films and plays. Thus, there are such key terms notions as critical thinking, education, class conflict, racial divide, and power of perspective, which can be ...

A Previously unknown species of hominins, Homo Naledi was discovered as recently as 2013, in the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave system. Researchers found an extensive collection of fossils, belonging to 15 individuals of the same species. When examined, researchers found that the individuals belonged to a previously unknown species, because their morphology was different than that of other known species of primates. In their description, Berger et al. found that the hominin has unique cranial morphology, although closely related to other species of hominins, human-like adaptations of the hand and wrist, and humanlike foot and limb ...

Credit Risk Management Analysis

Credit risk emanates from the peril of loss of principal or shortfall of a financial reward stemming from a borrower default to repay a loan obligation. The failures to honor a contractual agreement of a loan results of a wholesale credit risk. When a borrower envisages to use future cash flow to pay a current debt credit risk will eventually arise. Then the savers will assume credit risk by way of interest payment from the borrower or issuer of the debt obligation.
The wholesale credit risk, therefore, emanates from the defaulters of debt obligation that have been acquired from ...

Romanticism, also known as the romantic era, was an intellectual movement, complex in artistry and literature, which emerged in the mid 18th century, and drew much of its strength from its strong reactions against the Industrial Revolution. This era originated and spread from Europe. The reasons for the establishment of this movement were many. One of the reasons for the development of romanticism was to revolt or demonstrate against the norms and the characteristics that came with the Age of Enlightenment. These characteristics were in line with the emerging aristocratic political and social issues.

The movement was also against the ...

Emersonian Private Behavior in Goffman’s Analysis

When Erving Goffman wrote The Presentation of Self in 1956, his intention was to help people learn techniques that would help them sustain favorable impressions communicated to others in any social situation, including contingencies that he believed common enough to apply to many people (15). Little did he know perhaps that decades later, his theories will continue to hold interest in the field of sociology. In fact, as early as 1970, Joan Emerson wrote her own expanded exploration of the Goffmanian theories in her classic article “Behavior in Private Places”. In the following ...

What is one of the major goals of art? Art reflects the society and a battle between the external world and the human inward. For instance, fashion is much more than just clothes; it is a reflection of a person through the prism of his mental world, knowledge, and emotion, and, what is more important, a way of communication. And photography, in turn, is also much more than just beautiful, or strange pictures. Given the subjective nature of its creation, what do photographs offer the viewer? Photography challenges the audience to search for truth, “in a fragmented, ...

Child Abuse

Abstract
This paper addresses child sexual abuse as a crime that impacts the victim psychologically, leading to long-term devastating consequences. Over the last three centuries, the number of children who have experienced sexual abuse is staggering. Also, there are many unreported cases mainly incest. Importantly, child sexual assault in the U.S. emerged as a social problem due to the high number of assault reports and lack of policies to curb the vice (Goodyear-Brown, 2011). Traditional laws were only protective as opposed to contemporary legislation that punishes the offenders. Also, children protective agencies didn’t address the issue of incest ...

This work seeks to summarize the article,” The Expanded Biology of Serotonin” authored by Berger, Gray, and Roth. According to authors, serotonin, a neurotransmitter that modulates neural activity and neuropsychological processes, is widely used in psychiatry and neurology. It is located mostly outside the central nervous system, and the 15 receptors of serotonin are found outside as well as inside the brain. It regulates a number of biological processes including, bowel motility, cardiovascular function, bladder control, and ejaculatory latency. However, they mention that serotonin regulates some other processes as well including platelet accumulation through receptor independent, but transglutaminase-dependent covalent ...

The controversy over the understanding of ethnicity and ethnicity unfolded in America and Europe in the early 1970s following the collapse of the colonial system. Many foreign and domestic scientists are engaged in the consideration of the complexity of inter-ethnic relations that has arisen within countries (the so-called “ethnic paradox of our time”). Most of them in their studies refer to the concept of social constructivism (Berger, & Luckmann).
This approach allows one to display the natural multiplicity of ethnic identity. Supporters of this trend claim that the ethnic consciousness can have multiple layers; it can be forked and split ...

Frederick Hoffman as well as Nathaniel Shaler, two of the early defenders of exploratory bigotry, were more critical of setting up race associations in the United States than the more considered, yet less mainstream, artists at the time such as Mary White Ovington or even W. E. B. DuBois. In spite of the fact that a few liberals endeavored to dismiss natural determinism instead of focusing on carrying out healing undertakings, even Franz Boas considered blacks to be mediocre, whereas Gunnar Myrdal diminished the significance of segregation amongst the police as well as law benches in the improvement of ...

Free trade agreements such as ChAFTA (China-Australia Free Trade Agreement) and the proposed TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) are treaties that are signed and ratified by national governments in a bid to increase the volume of trade within their country, as well as to reduce the obstacles that limit local and foreign investment. This is particularly useful seeing as incentives such as reduced or eliminated tariffs serve to encourage investors from far and wide to invest in the said country (Lim, Elms, and Low, 2012). For many years, such treaties have successfully ensured increased volume of trade as well as investor ...
