The Iranian government under Mohammad Reza Shah encouraged Westernization of the Iranian…

Only through efforts to improve the efficiency of providing law enforcement…

In the play, “The Death of a Salesman,” by Arthur Miller, the characters exhibit a dichotomy to one another through their morals, actions, and ethics.

the “Prologue” to The Canterbury Tales, the “Wife of Bath’s Prologue,” and “Tale,” Chaucer’s deliberate satire upon marriage and women highlights the wife, Alyson, as a sexual desire. Depicted by the people as an idyllic woman, however there’s a dichotomy in her character for Alyson is not the person she portrays to be. In the general prologue, the usage of symbolism describing Alyson’s physical appearance help express her self-confidence. Alyson’s vivid attire is described as, “ Her hose were…

work of artist Grayson Perry (“Grayson Perry”, 2014), I will attempt to make an informed and reflexive analysis of what ‘legitimate’ art is, why and if it really exists at all. In conjunction with this, I will use the long debated art and craft dichotomy in relation to my own praxis as an example in an attempt to shed light on this subject and reflexively explore how it affects myself…
