Commodification

Communist imagery and text appear in two contexts in Cuba, one, satirical and the other, its intended “proper” use in political propaganda. This essay will juxtapose the use of word and image in propaganda art of the Cuban revolution and the post-socialist conceptual art of the 90s that emerged in indirect and sometimes overtly direct response to it. Due to the regime’s strict control over the media, art has become one of the only spaces where critique of the government can sneak through, mostly…

Women are exploited and devoid of their voice to refuse since ages, they are the silent bearers of all the sexual assault that has been exerted upon them. Through her novels she depicts the objectification of women and their commodification by the Whites as well as the Black men. This was the reason why Frieda was molested. However, unlike the society of that time especially the Black society her parents decided to shun away such a man from the society. The striking part of all this…

In 1992, on May the first division of football league was resigned and the groups formed “The Super League” later the name was changed to Premier league. This transforming increased the revenue because new TV contract were established, and the revenue that was collected enabled this group of English teams to try to catch up with their Italian and Spanish counterparts especially in the department of money. The Barclays Premier League currently is the biggest constant annual worldwide sporting…

It also permitted Italian women a newfound visibility, not based on the commodification of one’s body or labor. In addition, the number of Italian female athletes demonstrated how these competitors were able to overcome the Catholic Church’s opposition to women’s participation in sports, and the country’s reluctant support of female…

Recently, we have seen a shift in literature from the socialization-approach to an institutional perspective when trying to explain the origins of social capital. There is an increasing recognition that the welfare state plays an important role in social capital creation. More precisely, it is argued that the capacity of citizens to establish social trust and their preparedness to engage in cooperative behavior is highly dependent on the efficiency and trustworthiness of bureaucratic…

What is Human Nature? A critique of the utopian ideal Hsun Tzu famously claimed that humans are evil, and although I wouldn’t opt for such emotive terminology, I believe that he was on the right lines. Humans are not evil; but they are inherently bad. Evil suggests something much more sinister, a plotting mind with a purpose for destruction. Rather, the process of evolution has determined human nature as innate and selfish, with survival and self-preservation an unconscious priority. I…

Surfing has grown exponentially over the past several decades and with it surf brands have exploded and surfing has become considerably more marketable. However, at one point in time, this did not seem like it would ever be possible. In the 1960’s there was a vast expansion of surf culture, but before that surfing was not seen as a popular activity. The counter-culture ways that were associated with the sport created a view that surfers were slackers and druggies as their time was largely spent…

Satisfied guests come back and do word-of-mouth advertising. This leads to a higher average infrastructure utilisation and at the same time leads to reduced advertising costs. Wehrli et al. (2011) stated that Lucerne gets over a million overnight tourists every year not counting the number of tourists who just stop by the city during the day. This staggering number can only take place if the visitors kept coming back to the city as the numbers do not at all imply that these million visitors…

as a role model, considering the song contained violent and misogynistic lyrics. This was controversial for a number of reasons; Iverson was simply expressing his lifestyle and how he was brought up. This brings me to question the effects of commodification on the art form. Since Allen Iverson was a profitable figure on the basketball court, he wasn’t able to express his work. The expression of his work took a backseat to the money that was being made. On top of his ephemeral rap career, he was…
