The study of culture and art of the peoples of the African continent has discovered their unique traditions and way of life. Masks and weapons make the basis of their culture.

(Students’ Name) Numerous theories have tried to explain how the ancient Egyptians built the Giza Pyramids. Most of these theories revolve around the use of sophisticated human developed building techniques that have been traced back to the Egyptian culture by the archaeologists. The first theory is characterized by the belief by most archaeologists that these ancient inhabitants of Egypt had developed ramps that were strong enough to ensure mobility of the building materials and the human resource. The theory was conceived by Engelbach in his architectural research in 1930. According to (Clarke and Engelbach, 1930), the most common one ...

There are objects that are so engrained in a family’s history that they become an essential part of this group. These things may represent the family in such a deep way that the association would be unthinkable without it. A spare key that my grandparents found in their house is such an object. It is rather large for a key, and very old-fashioned. It is made of metal, and has two teeth in order to open doors. This object is very similar to the keys that one may find in a horror movie, but it is of reverence ...

Quality Service and its Impact in the Hospitality Industry

In any service-oriented industry, delivery of good, quality customer service is the key to longevity. The question now is if the business can sustain giving consistent, high-quality customer service.

Divinity of Christ has been a bone of contention for centuries. This dissension was the key factor that led to Jesus’ sufferings and crucifixion. People who followed him, namely his apostles, believed in Christ’s divinity. Although Christianity as a whole underwent profound changes and took numerous denominations over the past centuries, almost all Churches today agree with the divinity of Christ. The sole purpose of the New Testament itself is to affirm Christ’s incarnation for the salvation of the entire humanity. One who genuinely goes through the Bible will experience Jesus Christ as ...

Monsters are creations usually found in fictional stories made by creative and innovative minds in order to bring fear in people. This fear, though fictitious in nature still allows people to become fascinated with the object that is causing the fear. The same thing can be said most especially of Jack the Ripper, whose true identity has still remained a mystery until this day. Various ideas have propped up regarding this mystery which has turned the serial killer into an icon and a symbol. The mystery is what allows imaginative minds to warp the reality to more closely resemble ...

I thought the movie was actually very cool to watch. The input of the voodoo scenery and all the extra subjugations added a controversial curiosity to the ...

Abstract

Human mind was always a mystery to humanity. Many thinkers and philosophers tried to solve its puzzles. Plato and Descartes are the philosophers who offer a comprehensive and well-known accounts of human mind and learning process. While both of them value the mind and wisdom the most, Plato considers contact with another very helpful in the process of learning while Descartes does not share his position. Plato's position is explained through his description of the ascent to light in the allegory of the cave while Descartes view is shown from his conclusions about mind and body from the Second ...

Blow Up is a 1966 British-Italian film by Michelangelo Antonioni that tells the story about a London photographer who believes that he accidentally captured a murder on his film. The story in itself covers a day in the life of Thomas- the photographer whose lateness in taking some scheduled photos of different people leads him to having an adventurous but hectic day. The significant event that day is how he accidentally captured a murder scene as he photographed two lovers at a park which brings about Mise en scene to create plot and themes. Antonioni makes extensive use of ...

There can be no denial of the fact that the novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by the famous author, Mark Haddon, is one of the best literary works to be adapted in the cinematic form of expression. Indeed, the story in context has enormous scope of quintessential and aesthetic portrayal of the events, emotions, frictions, and mystery. The young teenager of the narrative, Christopher, is the hero of this story in context. The way he is portrayed in the literary narrative truly impresses the readers, and it provides ample scope for catapulting the affective ...

Many people assume that our world is full of enigmas or supernatural things which cannot be measured or tested, they are far from human’s understanding. The standard way of thinking about the following concept opens up with the idea that human’s thoughts are controlled by some negative strengths, which have a huge impact on individual’s perception and actions. Many prominent authors of past times had tried to depict and revel the supernatural issues to their readers but the most brilliant among them was considered to be David Herbert Lawrence and his amazing piece of art, the ...

Introduction

For centuries they have been tormented, tortured and isolated, considered as outcast of the society. Witches, sorcerers, shamans or magical doctors have been misunderstood and burned at the steak for heresy, because their practices overpassed the human understanding. Through a combination of herbal mixes or psychedelic substances plus a thorough understanding of the human mind, the magical methods of these traditional practices have been analyzed across centuries (Haule 17). While in the modern societies the conventional science, medicine or human psychology are largely preferred, discoveries show that shamanic, witchery, sorcery or magical practices have pragmatic basis and scientific value ( ...

I. INTRODUCTION The current use of the North-South divide in demarcating global Christian religion is not new. It originated as an economic and political convention to distinguish the First World and the Second World in the North and the Third World in the South. Thus, the churches in the North include the churches in North America, Western Europe, and the developed part of East Asia; while the churches in the South comprise the churches in Africa, South America, and the rest of Asia, including the Middle East. However, the demarcation line can arbitrary depending on the institution that creates ...

Empathy is present in both the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and in the film Blade Runner based on this novel. Phillip K. Dick’s story is used to reveal a dystopian society in which humans and replicants cohabitate and these androids are detected by The Voight-Kampff test. However, it turns out that androids are capable of developing empathy as well as humans and that not all of them are the same, just like not all the people are the same. Humans possess empathy, but there is also a possibility of androids to acquire it. This point ...

Coordinated management of meaning (CCM) in social sciences provides an understanding of how individuals coordinate, create and manage meanings in the communication process. In general terms, it refers to how people come with rules that are used to create and interpret meanings in the communication field. These rules and policies are enmeshed in people’s conversation where meaning is coordinated on a constant basis. In the contemporary world, people constantly communicate with others, and they normally design meaning of the messages which they used in their conversations. The meanings of the messages are based on the conversational experience of ...

In one of his most influential theological and philosophical works, Blaise Pascal defends Christian religion, referring to its complex nature, human thinking mechanisms and various misunderstandings that surround the issue. In this essay I shall demonstrate that throughout the discourse, Pascal appeals to spiritual agnosticism, when proving his point. This shall be established by analyzing the passage, which says: “We know truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart, and it is in this last way that we know first principles; and reason, which has no part in it, tries in vain to impugn them” (Pascal ...

Introduction Science and technology are marching forward into the brave new world with increasing rapidity. The proverbial Moore’s Law, prophesying the doubling of the speed of computer chips every six months (Moore’s Law), remains true to this date. As a corollary, increased use of the computing power and consequent technology allows medical science to unravel mysteries hitherto opaque to man. The biggest mystery to man has always been the mystery of procreation. As with most things man did not understand to begin with, he gave procreation a divine status. Children were literally the gift of God. However, ...

The Ghost Map, by Steven Johnson, is a narrative that revealed how diseases spread, how cities developed and how people viewed science in 1854. Integrative thinking and the ability to make connections enabled Dr. John Snow to trace the pattern of the disease to its origin. John’s ability to make a connection between the epidemic and the water the people consumed was marvelous. It enabled him to save people’s lives. It is, therefore, important to have an open mind and think in a connective manner. This is a narrative that took place in 1854 during summer. London, ...

The ubiquitous echo of poetry’s yearnings to be heard throughout the annals of time, reflect mankind’s endless search for meaning whilst on earth. As such, English Literature as a formal academic discipline – and generic genre of creative expression – holds a place of often cited materials for pondering. Poetry consists of more than reading stanzas on a page that rhyme. This essay attempts to cogently analyze the poem by William Wordsworth, entitled ‘The World is Too Much with us.’ A brief background will remind the reader herein that Wordsworth’s mother died when he was only eight-years-old, and ...

Economic development, as scholars have cited, is synonymous with the concept of modernization (Diarsi 1996). Modernization and development refer to the progression of society from conservative opinions towards an inclusive and liberal approach where people enjoy equality irrespective of their gender or race. Modern society also assimilates the concept of a 'just' society where women have equal access to resources as their male counterparts and disparities regarding job opportunities, wages, and social status are either non-existent or negligible. Theoretically, modernization should be one of the automatic outcomes of economic development; however, practical examples may not testify this theoretical hypothesis. ...

Personal Branding

Personal Branding

The internet bridged connections between people, business, organizations, and countries. It is a key element when it comes to relationships and branding either individually or a group. Professionals are investing most of their time and resources in creating and managing their profile online through social media networks (Thompson, et al., 2008). Hence, the modern day professionalism has a lot more to it than what it was previously. Not only does the online presence cater for the professionalism, but individuals also use the space to promote their personal interest. It is a common trait for an individual to ...

The central claim of supersessionism, an ancient Christian mindset that can be traced way back to the first century, is the forfeiture of God’s covenant with Jews due to their collective guilt over the death of Jesus (Cunningham 1). This ancient thinking could very well be found before the Second Vatican Council. It even found expression from Pope Pius X in a personal message to Theodor Herzl in 1904 – that the Jewish faith was the foundation of Christianity – but was replaced by the teachings of Christ (Cunningham 2). However, in the same verse in his epistle to the ...

Faith is a serious matter. So serious that it has been studied, researched and investigated along the History of mankind by religious and science experts. Sociology is a branch of science that studies not only the origin, development and structure of human societies, in general, but also the behavior of individuals and groups. It is, therefore, quite natural that Sociology pays close attention to religion as a rich field of investigation, as it is connected to what is the most precious in human terms: your mind, or if your prefer, your soul. Religion commands people’s feelings, beliefs, conduct ...

The artist painted the picture Head of a Woman (Jacqueline) in 1962, though he had been working on its creation for a year. The painter used oil and canvas to portray a woman who was his wife. The paintings' dimensions can be considered average: 39 3/8 x 31 3/8 in. Frame: 44 × 37 × 3 in. (111.76 × 93.98 × 7.62 cm). This picture attracts with its mystery and illusion.

A number of films represent the myths that reveal ideas on women and their femininity. In addition, there are films that speak to men and their masculinity.

A New Relationship between Christians and Jews

The central claim of supersessionism, an ancient Christian mindset that can be traced way back to the first century, is the forfeiture of God’s covenant with the Jews due to their collective guilt over the death of Jesus (Cunningham 1). This ancient thinking can still be found before Vatican Council II and even found expression from Pope Pius X in a personal message to Theodor Herzl in 1904: “The Jewish faith was the foundation of our own, but it has been superseded by the teachings of Christ” (Cunningham 2). Saint Paul wrote ...

Myths have been around longer than just about every other form of literature. From the beginning, it is clear that humanity has wanted some sort of explanation for the way the world works, and myths have long served that purpose. Whether it is the myth of Apollo driving his chariot across the sky each day to explain the bright light that traverses the sky (and to provide some sort of comfort that the gods are running things, even though the Greek gods certainly were not the benevolent sort) or the myth of Hades and Persephone’s twisted love that ...

What is the role of the teacher in motivating the students? REVIEW OF LITERATURE The Motivation – Definition and Interpretation Motivation means driving people ahead; sometimes this process of pushing is self-made or sometimes the people are pushed with outside forces.

The word motivation is derived from the original Latin word movere, which means to move or be moved (Ryan, Lynch, Vansteenkiste & Deci, 2010). For moving something, some action must be performed.

Transcendence and Human Knowledge

In Christian theology, transcendence is a paramount idea as it refers to the fact that God is completely removed from the world, and can be found beyond the material universe. This stands in opposition with religious ideas which place God within the material world. When the human knowledge reaches the limits of what science can explained, going beyond this limit means experiencing transcendence. In the Bible, concepts on transcendence and human knowledge refer to ignorance and self-knowledge. The concept of self-knowledge however must be distinguished from the idea of transgressive knowledge which tests the limits of human understanding and ...

Suspense is a literary style that is adopted by most authors to invoke the creative minds of the audience. Therefore, the authors intentionally fail to draw a conclusion to an event in a story, but instead live it upon the audience to think. On the other hand, mystery is an occurrence that is beyond human understanding, and in most cases it is associated with murder. This essay is anchored on these ...
