- The Bigamist
As the American middle class of the 1950’s went, The Bigamist (Ida Lupino, 1953) is one of the few movies that typify the post war middle class sensibility in the country. The economy was flourishing, as a result of which, the suburban middle class started growing fatter around their waist, and some of them even had more money than they knew what to do with. It is often said that “Laziness is the Devil’s workshop”. This may hold true to the American middle class in general, though in the context of The Bigamist, one ...

John White’s watercolours and De Bry’s engravings

Introduction:
The failed colony at Roanoke in 1585 was a disastrous mission yet it brought about some interesting observations on Indian life which would be useful again in the future. Nothing is more intriguing as a finding from this mission than the sets of watercolours on Indian life by John White and the resultant engravings made by De Bry which provide for a striking comparison. They also include much detail although that can appear to be also the imagination of both artists but on the whole the pictures are a valuable document of Indian life at a time when such things were completely ...

An increase in exploitation is always in inverse proportion to population growth and life expectancy. Since the region was the lucrative sources of spices, cotton, and ...

Walking in an urban environment as a form of activism is what I am interested in because it can leave a great impact on social events.

I have chosen walking as a form of activism because I believe that human body is an instrument through which one’s mind can be employed and that can make impact on the environment.

The concept of community policing was formed in the 1960s during the struggle for the civil rights movement (Brunschot, 2003).

It is believed that the crucial trigger initiated the development of this movement is a crisis in the interactions between the law enforcement and the public.
