Aesthetic I think realizing the importance of the characteristics of a nurse allows one to develop a vision of the type of nurse that they want to be or become. Realization also contributes to what you want the public, specifically your clients, to view the nursing profession as. I feel that there are more than three characteristics that I value as a nurse. When I think about what is important, I tend to think back to Maslow 's Hiearchy of Needs. In this model, needs can be viewed from a…
We can acknowledge that beauty takes place in the aesthetic notion, which is the case of perceiving a subject without other purposes than appreciating it. This attitude is purposeless, because its involvement is to seek aesthetic pleasure. (Borghini) According to ancient Greek philosophy that extended into the seventh century there were philosophies on definition of beauty. “As a general term, the Greeks perceived beauty as interchangeable with excellence, perfection, and satisfaction.”…
Wilde is not the only writer who employs the trope of a woman’s sexual prowess being a negative. Arthur Symons, another Aesthetic poet, also uses this ethereal, vampire woman in his poem “White Heliotrope.” The effect of the woman in Symons poem is similar to the effect the women in Wilde’s. The speaker in “White Heliotrope” laments a past love that seems never to go away. She has a strong and undeniable influence over the male speaker. He writes that if his handkerchief ever smells of white…
Previously mentioned, a good number of goals fall short when it comes to the definition and specificity. Sizer even admits how “these goal statements beg for definition” (Sizer 78). One of the goals that come to mind is “Aesthetic Awareness” (Sizer 77). Two brief definitions I crafted are awareness for art and in its various forms and awareness of one’s physical self. It can be important for students to find beauty and peace in art whether it is in the form of music, visuals…
Hollywood’s Commercial Aesthetic: Commercial aesthetic can be thought of in the context of turning pleasure into a product we can buy-this includes films. Maltby and Craven (1995) argue that films are made up of many different elements, such as a script, story, director and so on. They say these elements are then intertwined together by producers and production companies to satisfy the current needs and wishes of consumers at a given point in time. Storytelling style is an important part of…

division Nietzsche makes between the Apollonian and Dionysian tendencies in art. They both claim that there are aesthetic experiences that are oriented towards a form or rational ideal (Nietzsche believes this ideal to be a dream), but there are also aesthetic experiences that expose man to limitlessness and formlessness. However, Kant and Nietzsche are not going to agree on what an aesthetic experience of the limitless and formless will inspire in us. Kant makes a division between the…
This artefact is a twofold representation of this. Firstly, the artist creating the music, the designer creating the artwork and the curatorial knowledge of the record label are all modes of aesthetic expression. These 3 worlds intertwine to create a product that represents a commitment to a multi sensory aesthetic, one unified by the visual power of the packaging, the strength of the sounds and the distinctive touch of the record. Although I did not create this record, I view it as part of my…
define and differentiate artistic creations from other things. He uses a hand axe which was made around six hundred thousand years ago as an example to demonstrate that humanity’s creativity does date back to ancient times and what he calls as ‘aesthetic sense’ was already developed in those cultures as opposed to functional or practical use of things. However, he argues that even with the sophistication or the long age of such artistic works or objects, it was hard to determine what is…
