Theater is thought to have started in the 6th century BC in Athens, as a form of classical entertainment (Goldhill 54). At this time, it was predominantly for entertainment, and also to create a catalogue of historical events, or depiction of mythology. This evolved into plays that were categorized as tragedy, comedy and drama, each in forms that we would readily recognize today, were all born out of that early tradition. However, over time, different countries adapted the western art form, to create formulas that more directly address their social concerns, or meet the social need for expression. In ...

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 ...

In addition, these patients have delays in reaching milestones for gross motor development with problems moving such as weakness, spasticity, and impaired selective motor control27. Children born with the disability have varying levels of impairment, and while it usually develops by age three, it ...

It is one of the ironies of history that the “old west” was actually the last area of the north American continent to be settled. By 1860, for example, San Francisco, California was a booming city of 56,802 persons making it the 15th largest city in the nation (San Francisco Population). Kansas City, meanwhile, had a population of 4,418 (U.S. Census Bureau). Denver, Colorado was already the “Queen City of the Plains” with a population of 4,749 (Population of Denver, CO). These three communities are important since Denver and Kansas City represent the western and eastern ...

Introduction:

Nanobiotechnology serves as an imperative technique in the development of clean, nontoxic, and eco-friendly procedures for the synthesis and congregation of metal NPs having the intrinsic ability to reduce metals by specific metabolic pathways. Silver nanoparticles are particularly interesting nanoscale systems due to the ease with which they can be synthesised and modified chemically. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been widely researched due to their interesting size and shape-dependent properties [26]. These novel properties can be tailored by controlling their size, shape, composition, structure and crystallinity. Due to their size features and advantages over available anti-microbial properties, chemical imaging ...

Overview

Polyvinylidene fluoride is one of the polymers that are used as membrane material. This is because of its outstanding properties. Besides its comparatively high amount of fluorine, the polymer also has a high level of crystallinity. The result of these properties are exhibited in the performance of the Polyvinylidene fluoride polymer. For instance, the chemical stability of Polyvinylidene fluoride in chlorinated solvents and environments that are highly caustic and acidic is very high. Another property of the polymer is its hydrophobicity. This means that it is not compatible with water. This would create challenges if the polymer were to ...

It is a fact that people want to have the perfect smile, one like the stars of Hollywood have. And it is not unusual to desire having the perfect teeth because they add to a person’s physical beauty, and they also enhance one’s confidence while they communicate, smile or take a picture. Therefore, if a person does not have the perfect teeth, has cavities or needs help in enhancing their beauty, then dental technology can immensely help them. Dental technology is not a new phenomenon; rather it has been present since over one hundred and fifty years, ...

No two black leaders stand out during the civil rights movement of the 1960s as much as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. Whereas the two men were polar opposites in achieving their respective ends – equality for African Americans – they both died much too young as the result of an assassin’s bullet. Malcolm X, best known for his separatist ideology, wanted “black power”, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s integrationist ideology preached peace, and the brotherhood of all men, regardless of color – conflicting philosophies that yielded both desirable and undesirable results. Certainly, these two civil rights leaders’ ...

This paper will look into the impeachment of Bill Clinton. This move was instigated by the (HoR) House of Representatives because of two charges which were perjury and the hindrance of justice.

This move changed a lot on the issue of presidency. It went on to show that the presidency could be overturned. He was acquitted of the charges by the house of Senate on February 1999 (Washingtonpost.com: Clinton Accused, 1999). This paper will ...

Life back home was nothing out of the ordinary except the few occasions I was out with my family or friends on an adventure trip. It however took a turn when I landed in America and my identity was no longer a sibling, friend or a kid. I was looked upon only as a Muslim.

Even though I dressed like a normal American, I was still shouted at and verbally abused owing to my name and my habit of going to the mosque. When I was ...

INTRODUCTION

There are very few children who grew up in the 1990s who does not remember watching Disney’s “Aladdin.” They remember the image of endless sand dunes, hidden caverns, flying carpets, a beautiful princess, a handsome hero and, of course, a big blue genie.

The musical Hamilton has been critically acclaimed by critics and fans alike. The work tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the most important people in the early history of the United States. However, what makes this musical truly unique is Lin-Manuel Miranda, the star, writer, and composer incorporates modern hip-hop music style into the musical genre, something that had not been done as successfully. Rather than just classical musical numbers or dialogue, this production uses rap and lyrical composition very effectively. Hamilton employs hip-hop music throughout because it is able to bring in groups that do not ...

Article: Trolls Flood “Ghostbusters” IMDb Ratings, But Female Film Critics Fight Back

Response Thesis: The ratings in Ghostbusters are just a sign of the misogynist problem in the modern American Society The ratings on the film, ‘Ghostbusters’, an all female cast film, are not based on the true feelings of these men on the quality of the movie, but rather by the misogynistic inclinations of the average men in America. Giving a rating of one out of ten even before the official release of the movie is not only disrespectful, but also highly irresponsible, as it is a testament that the male critics do not dislike the movie, but rather, they ...

Objective of civic engagement: manifestation of democracy through the ballot

As a primary step towards my Project, I started with the topic of maximizing civic engagement related to the involvement of education and direct interaction with the electorate. The importance of the topic came from the fact that there has to be mass voting to ensure a clearer picture of the democratic choice. The electorate is a significant factor for not only deciding their governing representatives but also in shaping the public stand towards the formation of the right government. Hence, there has to be a vigilance or awareness drive for the voters of the region so that they ...

When a white actor was cast as Martin Luther King for a theater production held at a university in Ohio, some members of the African-American community saw the selection as a slap to the face rather than as a pat on the back.

The fashion process is the gateway to understanding the human realm. In my experience, I have come to appreciate the benefits of using clear approaches in the materialization of concepts. Fashion would be quite meaningless if designers failed to handle it systematically. A close look at significant fashion icons shows the extent which process can vitalize clothing concepts. For example, Wales Bonner’s ideas follow a consistent pattern. Her creations are characterized by a strict adherence to particular themes. Arguably, she can be described as a revolutionary fashion warrior. This is owed to the significant leaps she has made ...

The philosophical contributions of Rene Descartes remain the cornerstone upon which doubt is built. The subjects of Rene begin when he decides to bring to an end the past conceptions through models of reasoning and intellect. In his analogy of falsehood and misconceptions, the meditator alludes to the past preconceptions as he resolves to recreate the certainty of knowledge by only accepting as truth things that he has proof. It is essential to understand the philosophical analogy that certain things must be made subject to doubt. As he begins to question the rationale that governs his perceptions, he began ...

Questions and Essays

Question #2 It might be argued that the character of Ned Kelly is a Robin Hood-like character. A 19th century outlaw, Carey illustrates him as the conventional bad guy with positive qualities. This is why it can be said that Kelly is a Robin Hood like character, as Robin Hood executed certain aspects that were not necessarily morally correct, or ethically right - but nevertheless allowed for positive outcomes. Much of the novel consists of Ned encountering bad luck and being manipulated and lied to. As such, he is forced into the seemingly bad guy lifestyle ending up in ...

Feminism is defined as a particular movement that is organized to achieve the rights of women. The use of it is etched throughout literature. Two works where feminism is heavily illustrated are Henrik Ibsen's play, A Doll's House and Kate Chopin's The Awakening.

These works from the perspective of the writer, highlight the importance of women in society, and their respective roles and functions being different from the conventional viewpoints by the masculine ...

Introduction

When people live in a society, they are imparted with specific values and norms which shape their understanding of different things. One of the unique understanding that people develop is their notion of how they expect the government to work. They also develop unique belief on what they expect the political system to do for them (Roskin, et al. 106). These beliefs towards the government or the political system that individuals of a given society develop are what are referred to as the political culture of a nation. The political culture varies from one nation to another. There are ...

The New York Times article titled Why Americans Can’t Vote, published on April 16, 2016 by its editorial board, paints a bleak picture of the current state of the electoral system. The main argument focuses on recent trends in primary elections following up to disenfranchise voters from participating in November for the Presidential elections, backed by incidents such as Maricopa County polling places fiasco and the state of the technology, process and law governing the national elections. Even with the truth in its report, the article fails in its estimation of its points. In Maricopa County, the voters ...

For one to achieve success in any given casting practices, there must be a proper control in the variables required during the process. The variables may involve certain characteristics of the alloys, and metals used, the casting method, design of the mold, material of the die used, and the parameters used during processing. The casting quality is influenced by the cooling rate, gating systems, and the evolved gasses during the entire process. Precautions must be, therefore, taken to avoid defects during metal casting design. This paper also outlines the economic factors that are relevant and basic in casting operations.

Introduction

The depiction of female characters in television has long been one of Feminism’s great worries and battles. Throughout the decades, females have been shown as one dimensional and weak, often reduced to mere companions or prizes for the lead, male characters.

Even though some contend that it is deeply Feminist, other critics believe that it is extremely misogynist, painting women in a negative light. The present text will argue that historical considerations and character development show ...

Movie Review:

While not seen as entirely award-worthy the latest installment in the “Fast and Furious” franchise has proven to be just as over the top as its predecessors. Centered on a dynamic pair in actors Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, along with their fellows in crime and racing, the storyline has developed from a peek into the world of underground street racing to a tale that involves far more than just the run of the mill action movie. Few could have predicted with any accuracy that the first film would spawn another, and another, and finally lead into the fan-favorite ...

The fourth season of Ryan Murphy’s FX anthology horror series American Horror Story, subtitled Freak Show, resets its rotating cast of regular actors into a new setting – that of a fictionalized freak show in 1960s Florida.

Over the course of the series, however, the freaks (many of whom are played by people with the actual disabilities and deformities they purport to have) ...

In the world of Jane Austen adaptations, Joe Wright’s 2005 film Pride and Prejudice proves itself incredibly innovative in its approach. Prior attempts at adapting Austen works, including Pride, focus on a clean-cut, ornate and incredibly stately world of Victorian England, with upper-class characters spending the entire film in eloquent settings and speaking in decidedly unapproachable manners. Wright, along with screenwriter Deborah Moggach, eschew this aesthetic in order to provide their adaptation of Pride and Prejudice with a more casual, approachable take on the classic Jane Austen romance, complete with a greater emphasis on naturalism, grit and approachability. ...
