Inspired by the hardworking identity that blue-collar workers shaped in their careers, Mike Rose, in his article titled "Blue-collar Brilliance", describes that intelligence is not only developed with a high educational level but throughout experiences, involvements, and interrelations in a workspace.

During the assessment the education that I provided was what the instruction…

1) Why do you think critics labeled Matisse and other artists who made paintings in a similar style as Wild Beasts? Do you agree or disagree? Why? What do you think these "Fauvist" artists were trying to express? The reason why critics labeled Matisse and other artists who made paintings in a similar style as Matisse is due to the fact they had an abstract or semi-abstract style as well as the use of strong or intense colors that were labeled as wild. It also is labeled as Wild Beasts because…

His use of words such as “aspirational” and “transcendent” show that he recognizes that the prevailing worldviews of the Cold War era point towards something past material reality and even past high levels of abstraction. O’Gorman does not, however, use myth in the Burkean sense of the word. He often makes the argument that Cold War worldviews function mythically, but he does not use Burke’s definition of myth. It should also be noted that there is no mention of…

contentious, but Ayer’s justification of causal determinism incorporated with freedom of volition implements synchronous aspects of both philosophical perceptions and manifests as a logical conclusion to the activities of humans: compatibilism, the abstraction that humans possess the capacity to select subsequent events based upon their actions, but availability of such alternatives is dependent upon anterior options. An individual who is a proponent for unequivocal determinism or absolute…

This is called as “self-determination.” He further added in relation to self-possession: Self-determination is possible only on the ground of self-possession. Every authentically human “I will” is an act of self-determination; it is so not in abstraction and isolation from the dynamic personal structure but, on the contrary, as deep-rooted content of this structural…

Inspired by the Book of Revelations, the artist explores many themes, such as the duality between abstraction and illustration, by making many international and art historical references.
