Concepts in aesthetics

definition can contain concepts that are difficult to understand and will hamper a student’s ability to learn. As math in the classroom progresses, The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics recommends that the students create their own definitions of for mathematical terminology with the modification from a teacher. This is done to get the student to think on his or her own, integrating critical thinking skills into the way the students learned. There was a concept that was introduced…

we endured while growing up. An unaccustomed society that’s unlike ours values interdependence, rather, our inherent society that encourages independence. We can see the arising conflictions when the two cultures meet. African culture portrays the concept of dependence, in ways of showing unified…

is bald and someone who is not with a sharp borderline between the two, we believe this is the wrong way to think about it. What we argue is that there is a not one distinct definition for someone who is bald and who is not. The concept of being bald is just like the concept of a heap. A ‘heap’ is defined as a collection of things piled up haphazardly. While this definition makes sense, having no qualitative value to ‘heap’ allows for vagueness in definition between individuals. Just like a…

When analyzing concepts, determining the essential characteristics that make up a concept is a fundamental step. By establishing defining characteristics associated with a concept, one may have a greater understanding of it. If one fails to identify the proper attributes of a concept, than the results of the analysis may limit the ability to expand nursing theories (Walker, & Avant, 2011, p. 162). Distinguishing between types of cases will allow one to categorize concepts and understand how they…

While watching Esther Perel’s Ted Talk she discusses multiple important concepts to focus on while in a long-term relationship. The two ideas I found most interesting was the questions she posed along the lines of “What draws you most to your partner?” such as at their work, when they are far away etc. The second question she mentioned that I found interesting was “what shuts you off and turns you on?”. While watching this TED talk I actually thought about my own relationship. My current…

This means that politics can be viewed as artistic and structured as that of an art form that corresponds with the concept that life is also to be seen artistically. Benjamin believed that this theory of aestheticization of politics was a vital aspect to Fascist regimes. The rise of fascism within Europe, and especially within Germany, was the epochal…

the scientific but also social concept of the “perfect human” or the ”perfect pet”. Personally I find those ideas slightly terrifying in the sense that they appear to take away…

here to tell you what it means to be beautiful, because in truth, beauty is subjective. The definition of beauty, according to a Google search of “beauty definition”, is “a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight.” However, our society has begun a movement of some sorts, to change the definition of beauty from being physical to being solely internal. I, like a good chunk of the general public, find the idea of internal…

The Great Pyramids of Giza, Stonehenge, the Colosseum, Machu Picchu - human beings are responsible for some of the most extraordinary feats of engineering that we still see standing today. Architecture is an art form of a unique category due to the complexity, grandeur, and artistic elements incorporated into the structures. Completely describing the history of architecture would take many books, a couple of doctorate degrees, and a passion for all things related to architecture to encompass the…

separate from society are what enable us to exploit it. In order to explain this concept Smith divides nature into first nature and second nature. First nature, being the pristine ideal that many identify as the natural world, and second nature, that which is the product of human labor and often identified as an object of society, even though its origins are from the earth. Our inability to protect natural areas that are…
