Introduction:

Film making in Italy is an intriguing subject since it has brought about change and progress in a country which was otherwise extremely backward. The rise of fascism in the pre-war decades saw a different type of cinema school emerge and some great propaganda films were produced, mostly those which glorified Mussolini and the fascist dictatorship. However Italy was actually one of the first film making countries to start an avant garde movement which flourished during the years of the First World War.

The Eurozone crisis is essentially a problem of over-borrowing by some countries and their inability to pay these debts. These countries are unable to pay the debts because their economies are not performing well enough so government and banks cannot generate enough revenues from internal economic activities. At the same time, the collapse of some US financial institutions severely aggravated the situation. Banks and government completely lost their investments.
The Eurozone crisis began as early as 2005 when some countries began having problems paying their debt from private banks. The problem escalated when some ...

Abstract:

Communism has been a sworn enemy to many fascist regimes, especially Hitler's, Mussolini's and Franco's despite many arguing that they are somewhat related to each other. From the word "communisme", communism advocates for equal class structure and control over the problem of poverty. Meanwhile, fascism came from the word "fascio" and advocates the creation of a nation that runs similar to a corporate setup. However, their belief regarding the state eliminates all form of similarity: communism denies the state while fascism bows to the state as its supreme entity. There is also the case of their political spectrum as fascism incorporates both ...

Marriage in the Renaissance

Marriage in the Renaissance was not what marriage is today; generally, it was not based on romantic love but on social status and political strategy. The center of early modern European society was marriage and the political and social status that came along with it. Marriage in this time also transformed children into adults, justified sexuality in the eyes of the church and the state, and it acted to reproduce the ruling classes (Horodowich, 2002). When parents promised their children in marriage, most thought only of money and short term strategic gain (James, 2008). Marriages arranged for social, economic ...

The modern genres of music cannot be considered to be pure, owing to their long histories of change with time and from one geographical place to another. The major aspects that keep changing with time are the styles, rhythm, dancing technique and wording, but it is normally possible to trace the origin of a single music genre (Dils, and Albright 54). Jazz and Ballet are two different music and dance genres that have some similar effects, yet they have different origins and histories. There are a lot of differences between these two terms.

Often Jewish music’s contemporary reception history leads us to consider Salamone Rossi as the beginner of Jewish music. Salamone himself, as a musician and composer, who as a professional wanted earning his living outside and inside the Jewish community, also desired his audience to comprehend in his compositions of Hebrew style the Jewish music’s beginnings. On one hand, Rossi had a hope that beginnings’ general questions would be reflected in his compositions, what his theological-aesthetic apologists and Rossi himself considered as a fundamental musica antica, Temple’s ancient music, before the diaspora music in Jerusalem.

Introduction
There is no limit to what human intellect can achieve. This mindset is particularly evident during the Renaissance; a period in European history wherein there was a significant ‘rebirth’ or revival of classical work. Scholars believe that the Renaissance started sometime in the 13th century and ended at the onset of the postmodern era in the late 16th century. During this period, Europeans became increasingly interested in the arts, architecture and science of ancient Greek and Rome. The significance of the Renaissance is that it ended the long period of cultural darkness that characterized the Middle ...
