The Islamic holy book, the Quran, does not expressly prohibit the depiction of human figures. However, it prohibits idolatry.

Women in confederation Canada had very few rights. They had no right of pursuing their higher education and neither could they vote. Their legal rights were very limited, and naturally, they were subordinate to their husbands when it came to matters concerning law. The Canadian Society, just like any other society of the time, did not allow the woman to initiate divorce proceedings. Husbands went to the extent of even controlling all their earnings since women had no right to ownership of property. The woman’s place was in the home where she was expected to carry on with ...

In January 2015, two armed terrorists attacked the office of a popular French weekly magazine named “Charlie Hebdo” in Paris, France. Twelve people, including the chief editor at the time, were shot by assault rifles. Two weeks later, an Islamic terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaeda based in Yemen, took responsibility for the attack which, along with an attack that took place in 2011, were acts of revenge for the public dissemination of a satirical cartoon that targeted Muslims and poked fun at the prophet Muhammad. Such acts of violence aimed at Charlie Hebdo, especially the most one, are viewed by many ...

Donna Barstow, a political cartoonist who draws for publications such as Psychology Today, and who claims to draw for The New Yorker and other such publications, has a very unique yet impenetrable style. In her cartoons "Arnold as Baby-daddy for Father's Day" and "Nobody is Born a Conservative," a strange amalgam of technique, style and depiction of humor is used to attempt at political discourse. However, it must be ultimately stated that her cartoons are devoid of clear message, crudely drawn, and obtuse to the point of uselessness. These two cartoons, after careful analysis, seem to attempt at analysis and statement but instead ...

Visual Communication

In this busy world, visual communication is a concept which allows individuals to grasp the meaning behind an idea without spending hours reading through long and often boring reams of information. There are many forms of visual communication including information graphics, symbols and signs, shapes and colors, images and groups of images, charts and graphs, typography (the specific design of lettering), and cartoons and illustrations. Through these forms of communication, information and ideas can be conveyed in a quick and interesting way which either directly presents or allows the individual to make their own inferences – for example, typography is often designed ...

Reaction to Cartoons

I see that Thurber’s cartoons are dry and it takes a certain sort of humor to immediately appreciate them. I think that after one reads them and studies them briefly, they can still be appreciated regardless of any humor, primarily because many of them are universal in their own way. Thurber, known for showing men who overstep their boundaries in one way or another, and women who are not going to put up with it, managed to clue into this vein with the American public time and time again.
One panel shows an obviously drunk man who has ...

Ever since the artists and publishers of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris were assassinated by the Islamic Extremists, France has been on a maximum security threat level. Several arrests have been made, but the vicious circle continues. When Charlie Hebdo exposed its first cover after the attack that left several of its staff members dead, another debate has sparked as to how far the boundaries can be pushed when it comes to freedom of expression in images. It is essential to know as to who draws those boundaries and how those boundaries get drawn (Charlie Hebdo attack ...

The scope of yellow journalism can be traced to the late 19th century, whereby it was utilized as one of the primary factors that supported the United States and Spain to triumph over Cuba and its ally; the Philippines. In fact, it is through the use of yellow journalism that the United States managed to acquire oversea territories across various realms during the late 19th century. While much has been hypothesized regarding yellow journalism, it is of the essence to note that it mainly connotes to a style of newspaper reporting that does not focus on facts, but over-emphasizes on ...

Introduction

For many centuries, violence was part of life. Our ancestors achieved most of their goals through violence, ranging from the need for freedom, to protection of property, to self-defense. Gladiators used violence as entertainment. Spectators gathered in coliseums and enjoyed this violent form of entertainment. In ancient Rome, for example, people would be thrown to hungry wild animals while spectators watched as punishment for their crimes and as a lesson to others who may consider these crimes. Many people found this entertaining. They would gather to watch as the animals devoured the helpless victims, and even look forward to the ...

The political cartoon is a very effective way of driving home a message to the public in general as it exposes the vicissitudes and inherent weaknesses of politicians. The first cartoon features a congressman running after the elephant which is the Republican Party on the sequester issue but threatening to decapitate himself with a huge scissors called ‘Sequester Scissors’. The text says ‘Running with Sequester Scissors can be Hazardous to Your Health’ and is a clear example that the decapitation is imminent, a self-decapitation so to speak. The cartoon is partisan political satire as it attempts to ridicule the Democrats who are self-destroying themselves and ...

 Driving in winter, especially on snowy, icy roads can be less troublesome if you take a few simple precautions. First, put on snow tires if you plan to drive on snowy, icy roads very often. Second, check the amount of anti-freeze in your radiator and add more if necessary. Next, add antifreeze to your windshield washer fluid; otherwise, the fluid will freeze and possibly break the container.

“Cheburashka”, an outstanding Soviet movie made by Roman Kachanov in 1971 is a bright representation of Soviet culture. In order to understand the main idea of the movie it is important to consider some particular scenes.

The role of the Soviet government could not be discussed by ordinary people.
The Cheburashka cartoon promoted the idea of humility before the Soviet government. In other words, the main heroes never dared to ...

The cries of the goblin merchants give the story its haunting quality.
Lizzie is more sensible than Laura, so she is more protective when it comes to heeding the cries, and she ends up protecting Laura.

Repeating Lizzie’s warnings over and over again provides an “aural lesson” for the reader, as well as for Laura.

There is some disagreement as to whether the nature of the cries is local in context or provides a larger comment about the class war.
Rossetti’s poem is somewhere between the sounds of the streets around her and the literary evocations of that city that transform sounds into words.

To that end, many are worried about what the effect will be on those who choose to communicate primarily through texting – some worry that we are losing the nuance and complexity of real communication as a result of the need to truncate our words and phrasing into short bursts of instant information.

Visual Argument

As the Oxford Dictionary defines it, friendship is a relationship between two people who share a bond of mutual affection. People have different motivations why they engage in friendship but the image presented in this paper leans towards the claim that the primary drive of men in involving themselves in a cross-sex friendship is to have either romantic, or in the case of the cartoon above, sexual relationship with women. In fact, evolutionary psychologists believe that cross-sex friendship was developed as a form of “sexual strategy.” Since friendship between heterosexual men and women somehow requires proximity to develop, sexual tension becomes so apparent ...

Introduction

We live in the period when TV, online videos are used for many different purposes. Various video programs can provide educational purposes, accelerating and facilitating the processes of learning, different movies and TV shows can perform the function of entertainment. And although some video-reportages, films can carry the aggression, violence, etc. in general TV media themselves are not something positive or negative. Whether TV brings benefits or harm to the individual, as I believe, depends more on how the individual will use what television media offers to him/her.
In the modern time, not only adults watch different media, but ...

The topics presented through television programs are a reflection of the social reality. By presenting the social reality from a certain angle, television shapes attitudes and creates stereotypes.

Freedom of expression is perhaps the most fundamental and universally acknowledged freedoms in the world.

Argument

At the dawn of the 19th century, Chinese immigrants were taken to America to work as agricultural labour and for the construction of railroads. Many of them came willingly in search of work and some of them were captured and brought on board. After completion of railroads, Americans believed that the newly unemployed Chinese workers would become their competition in the job market. In addition, with the lack of female Chinese immigrants, the Chinese males could entice white women. As a response, Americans started to develop stereotypes against the Chinese immigrants to ensure locals would learn to hate them. ...

History

Apparently, the 1920s gestured a melodramatic break between the historical and forthcoming America. Sensationally, it is referred as the Roaring Twenties. Why? Before WWI and the American civil, Americans were psychologically and customarily deep-rooted in the 19th century culture. It was a high time for people to transform and usher in a fresh era. Most vivid brands of that time are movie palaces, advanced automobiles, flappers and speakeasies dance halls. These fluctuations are accredited to the new wide-ranging awakening that was sweeping across the whole world predominantly due to growing literacies and the actual lessons learnt from WWI. This paper will critically ...

The invention of animation and progress of the film industry allowed the creation of the animated films, and Walt Disney became its central figure. He changed the original fairy tales not only to suit and reflect the social life of America, but also to reflect his own identity and beliefs. The themes of the fairy tales were Americanized and reflected the society of individualism and patriarchy. For example, his cartoon Puss in the Boots changed the main character of the story: now it was a young man, instead of the Puss. The setting of the story was in the modern ...

Introduction:

The morality of genetic research can play out in many ways. Two broad fields of concern are that of genetically engineered organisms and the ethics involved in the use of human stem cells taken from zygotes and human embryos. Another issue is the patenting of the genome and how that affects medicines and the rights of people to “own” their own cells. Of special concern is that bio-engineering might escape and have long term adverse effects as the manipulated creations cross genetic structures with other biological elements in the environment. This paper will look at the general ethical concerns ...

Since the invention of television, scholars and policymakers have debate the need to regulate certain kinds of content on television. Many worried that depictions of violence and sexuality on television might influence the attitudes and behavior of individuals, especially children, who watched the programs. Others argued that the fundamental right of freedom of speech required the government to stay out of the business of regulating television. Today, the majority of evidence suggests that violent media content does, in fact, contribute to violent behavior. The effects are small and difficult to detect, but many studies have provided evidence to support ...

Question 1

Symbolic interaction theory views society as the conglomeration of all of the different ways that individual people interact with one another. The pioneers of this theory were Max Weber and George Herbert Mead, but the person to give this theory its name was Herbert Blumer, who summarized it like this: people tend to treat things according to the significance that those things have from their perspective. This significance comes through social interaction and can change over time as the interpretation of those things varies over time (Nelson). Blumer outlined three tenets of this theory:

People assign significance based on interaction with others.

Interaction with others shapes the ...

Public image of nurses: past, present, and future

Introduction
Undoubtedly, the nursing profession has vital ingredients of accountability and autonomy. Also, it is true to assert that nursing profession demands more responsibilities than before when the main role of a nurse was just to provide comfort and care. In the modern world, a nurse is expected to be an advocate for clients, a manager, and an educator (Drayton & Weston, 2015). However, little attention is drawn towards the assessment of the actual public image and perception of nurses. Nurses seem to dwell in a dual structure of nursing and social worlds. The two worlds tend to influence and ...
