Abstraction

How did the peer leader (PL) encourage or demonstrate that he/she values active participation of students in the session? For example, at the beginning of the question session, peer leader would say “hi” to students, which reveals a sense of welcoming questions, so students would willing to ask questions. I found this way would help increase the chance of receiving questions from students. What were specific actions/question performed/asked by the PL that increased student involvement,…

1. Figure 4.3, Going Home by Jacob Lawrence. This piece was created in 1946, and was painted with gouache, which is an opaque type of watercolor. I personally did not like this piece, I’m not a fan of the medium used, but nevertheless I found it interesting. In my opinion, the low value and intensity of the yellows and greens are unappealing, I think they make this train or bus seem outdated and old, or just dirty. But I do enjoy the contrasting red and green, and the warm feeling that the…

I. INTRODUCTION Brian Tamanaha notes that in Plato’s dialogue, Minos, Socrates identified weaknesses with each view in turn, the one of state law being that some decisions are unjust, unworthy of law. In my view, law as ‘state law’ offers the most compelling account for the paradox that is defining law. The following arguemnts will be premised upon the concepts of an unjust law still technically existing as law and the weaknesses that Socrates identifies for law as social order and law as…

abstract representation of the subject matter. A viewer making the most basic, surface level observation would see that the shadows in Porch Shadows don’t appear any less three-dimensional than the table itself. Thanks to the Modernist shift towards abstraction and the focus on experimental representation through line, tone, shape, and composition, the viewer is allowed to disassociate the subject matter to focus on the aesthetically pleasing elements of the photograph. Yet, based off of the…

He also drew inspiration from Orphism (a type of cubism but pure abstraction and brighter colours), Futurism and Purism (emphasis on the purity of form and rejection of cubism by returning to representing recognisable object), his most common subject in this period was the female nude. His biggest source of inspiration…

painting is the skull and the long glass bottle. The term Memento Mori is a Latin word that means remember you must die. It depicts a picture of a skull on a table on top of a stand with an orange glass bottle beside it. The style of this is Painterly abstraction. The skull is color yellow, orange, white, and the color dark blue is in the skull mouth, eye sockets and in the hole of the skull brain. The stand that supports…

With that, I understood empathy not through the abstractions written in dictionary definitions, but rather through the smell of freshly mowed grass, my sister's wide grin and dirty cleats, and my own beating heart. Adulthood, I came to the conclusion, was not defined by a paycheck, birth year, or the ability…

Descartes perspective in The Official Doctrine emphasizes mostly on humans having both a body, and mind which are constructed of many different properties. These two according to the doctrine are harnessed together in life, but conceivable situations such as death can cause the body, and the mind to come apart, and the internal mind may continue to exist because the mind is essentially private. Ryle argues that Cartesian Dualism is wrong and should be rejected because he beliefs that the…

Veblen (1899) critiqued contemporary economic theories as being intellectually static and hedonistic by suggesting to economists to take into account people’s social and cultural behavior, rather than rely on the abstractions of theoretic deduction to explain the economic behaviors of society (p.73). Moreover, Veblen contradicted neoclassical economics which define people as rational agents who seek utility and maximum pleasure from their economic activities. He perceived…

is distinct from gender and how people deviate from traditional culturally constructed roles. He emphasis on how students should consider ways in which the privileges of one’s culture punishes certain gender roles. He removes a majority of the abstraction by moving the discussion of gender to a reflection focusing on childhood play.…
