Historically, one of the issues that the United States has been accused of is having a lack of cultural identity that extends beyond the hamburger. Actually, the irony in that sentence is that the hamburger is not even American, which further proves this argument. What these two sentences are attempting to say is that there is very little that the United States does have compared to nations in Europe and other parts of the world that have longer histories that the Untied States does. This is not to say that the United States will not develop this over time; ...

The two main factors in the formation of the United States as a sovereign country were the American Revolutionary War in 1775 and the American Civil War in 1861.

According to some, he is simply a vandal or “guerilla artist” (Mitchell, “Britain: The Strengths”).

Creatine College France is something like a Mecca to the art world, yet it would be fair to say the “god” of this sacred city has changed seats more times than a game of duck-duck-goose. I plan on comparing and contrasting two periods of art: the mid-19th century versus the early 20th century. One may be tempted to think that Realists and Cubists were light-years apart. After all, Realism depicted the world from an empirical perspective, focusing on veracity, while Cubism is considered by many to be the first abstract art style. Both art periods were a reaction to, a rebellion against, ...

Introduction

This is because they did not really have any need for that kind of activity. The role of hunting was given to men while the women’s role was to look for fruits and vegetables ...
