According to The Humanistic Tradition Vol. 2, “Baroque is associated with such features as ornaments, spatial grandeur, and theatrical flamboyance” (p. 47). However, the manner that I would define Baroque would be that Baroque involves dark lifelike paintings; scrupulous and carefully crafted sculptures; meticulous, spatial, and secular architecture; attentive and diligent performances. The manner that the Baroque movement reflected on social realities involved delivering a new perspective on…

My hypothesis, if we test the water from the Conodoguinet Creek for signs of pollution, then the results would be negative for the pollution because the water appears clear at most parts of the river, is somewhat correct. Based on our findings, the degrees of pollution of the Conodoguinet Creek are very low. The phosphate levels, phosphate meaning a salt or ester of phosphoric acid (mineral acid), are at most 1. Nitrate is a salt or ester of nitric acid. The levels of nitrate are also very low,…

In 1939 the Elizabeth fry association of British Colombia was taken in place, the purpose of this organization was to assist and create programs for the “female offenders” and help them develop skills when transitioning back into society, (Stewart, pg.1) Like Elizabeth it would start by visiting the prison and creating changes and opportunity for these women. The foundation originally was to create programs but it became more than just a program based prison. In the 1960s women were granted care…

however, he and his co-workers did not accomplish their goal due to the woman taking her own life. When Montag told Mildred, his wife, what he had done, he said, “ ‘We burned a thousand books. We burned a woman’ ” (Bradbury 47). Mildred’s one word response was, “ ‘Well?’ ” (47). Mildred did not feel any emotion when she learned of the lady’s death,…

Many songs are written to portray the sadness that comes the loss of a loved one. Pearl Jam’s Black portrays the grief that love brings and how hard it is to overcome the heartbreak. During a walk on the street, the narrator states, “I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by Some kids at play I can feel their laughter So why do I sear” (Pearl Jam 19-23). The narrator claims that the happiness of children at play still can not wake him from his depression. Pearl Jam relates the children’s…

police officers, social workers, and psychiatrists etc. (Swantko 2000, 343, Wright and Palmer 2015, 47). “The authorities searched the households and took 112 children into protective custody”, however the children were returned to their families as the court concluded that the raid was unlawful and that there was not sufficient evidence of any kind of abuse done to the children (Wright and Palmer 2015, 47, Palmer 2010, 64, Swantko 2000,…

Anthropologist Franz Boas is well-known for promoting the concept of cultural relativism. Meaning, practices, beliefs, and ideas within a certain culture make sense within that culture. As an outsider, certain beliefs or practices of cultures that are different from our own can easily be misunderstood or interpreted incorrectly. Although cultural relativism promotes the idea of respecting and understanding the beliefs and practices of different cultures, when does a certain practice/belief…

“For these the old usages of poets afford Walt Whitman no means sufficiently fit and free, and he rejects the old usages. The style of the bard that is waited for is to be transcendent and new,” (Fitzgerald). Throughout history, Walt Whitman has been documented to have a unique style that had never been approached before. Whitman is believed to be a very radical figure of his time period, by never writing the way that previously had been traditional. Whitman began early in his life as a…

Cocaine has been used for a long time, way before recorded history. It is a known fact that cocaine comes from “western South America in countries such as Peru and Bolivia” (Carroll 13). Cocaine comes in different forms such as “coco plants, paste, cocaine hydrochloride, freebase cocaine, and crack cocaine” (Olive 9-11). The use of crack cocaine can lead to a higher chance in committing a crime, neurological problems, and dependence on the drug that is hard to escape. It is certain that…

put students off being involved (McCutcheon para. 47). According to McCutcheon, political candidates, especially those apart of the Republican Party, tend to gear most of their appeals towards older conservatives, and neglect the views that younger adults view as important. For example, McCutcheon cites that sixty-seven percent of eighteen to twenty-nine year olds are in favor of “a path to citizenship for those in the country illegally” (para. 47). Conservatives, on the contrary, gravitate…
