    Progressive Education In America

    The world of education as we know it is a place built on a foundation that is surrounded by enigmas and empty promises. It is for this reason that America has yet to find an effective solution that works for schools nationwide that is “progressive” as well as “consistent” in the field of education. The articles and the book that we have read so far in class have left me a bittersweet taste in my mouth. I think about how far we have come and how many steps we continue taking backwards. The issues surrounding education seem to share the same common factors of race, high expectations, and hidden agendas.…

    Ronald Brownstein The Challenge Of Education Inequality

    Bottom up: Ronald Brownstein in his article “The Challenge of Education Inequality”, he concludes that “without strategies (from affordable housing initiatives to school-assignment policies) thatalso combat the economic isolation of so many African American and Hispanic students, the US is unlikely to ever entirely close the racial and income gap in its educational performance”. Brownstein is claiming that education reform is a lot more complex than it appears. Education equality has many issues that we need to change but cannot single out one thing as saving the whole thing, it’s complicated. From housing loans to allocating funds among schools there needs to be change. The US can no longer try to put a band aide on a large wound, you have…

    Distinctively Visual Analysis Of Venus By David Sando

    Venus’ body doesn’t look like a human bodily figure and it’s not supposed to. Her body wasn’t supposed to be exactly the same as the human body, it was supposed to be structural and flow within each other. For example her shoulders run down into her arms in an unbroken stream of movement like her floating hair. It looks like she’s standing but she is supposedly floating on top of the shell.…

    Inequalities In Society

    Society has developed a constantly repeating cycle of oppression and inequality. However, using the power of newfound technologies has led to the individual to be able to research, speak out, and unites with others to break free of the grasp of large corporations. Professor Tim Wu analyzes the growth of digital technology and the internet in, Father and Son, and he concludes that: “It may be true, today, that the individual holds more power than at any time in the past century”(Wu 556). Wu also realizes that if society is not changed now, then individuals will continue to lose power to make a difference when he says: “Whether or not he can hold on to it is another matter”(Wu 556).

    Venus Of Urbino Analysis

    The treatment of sexuality is commonly used as a source of pleasure for the viewer when portraying the idealized woman. Women are constantly used in art for pleasure and the goddess of love, Venus, is frequently used as the perfect woman to gaze upon. Titian met the viewers’ attention when using Venus in his piece Venus of Urbino, 1538. However, another art painting attracted more attention when depicting a nude woman in a similar style of Venus, Olympia, 1863, by Edouard Manet. Manet’s use of a nude woman is considered blasphemy due to comparing a low class woman to a goddess.…

    Marks And Spencer Market Segmentation

    A) Segmentation means that the market is divided into parts, which are identified, accessible, viable and profitable and has a growth potential. In other words, the company believes it is impossible to target the entire market due to lack of time, cost and effort. It needs a targeted segment- a mass of people who can be identified and targeted with reasonable effort, cost and time. Segmenting the market place correctly can make the difference between successes and shut down for a company. M&S also bases its market segmentation through value, many products in M&S's clothing range have a premium-priced, high quality segment (M&S, Clarks, faith) a mid-priced segment (top shop, River Island) and a lower price segment e.g. shoes.…
