Era of Good Feelings

because SIBEAM did make much money and to fund SiBEAM there was headcount losses on the Silicon Image side. Just from a cultural perspective, I has always found the SiBEAM guys are much more willing to help each other than the Silicon Image guys are. A good example, when you are writing software for the chip, you really rely on the chip designers to tell you how the chip works, and it is often obvious they often do a poor job of documenting what they have done. So, in SiBEAM it is really easy…

forget Cui. In the “The Story of Yingying”, Yuan Zhen compared himself to Zhang, and Yingying as his true love Cui. "Yingying Biography" can also be called as Yuan Zhen's autobiography. The Tang Dynasty poets are good at refining the universal human feelings, showing the common feelings of life so that it is close to the height of life philosophy, which can still cause the most widespread resonance in the next generation. The author's personal experience brought a lot of inspiration when they…

The lady that composed this piece is actually the mother of the woman that was playing violin. I thought this was very cool and you could tell that this piece meant a lot to her. This piece is from the modern era as it was wrote in 2012. The piece itself was written to represent the landscape of Wallah Wallah, Washington. This was the place of a musical festival that she and her husband had founded. The landscape was supposed to be beautiful fields filled with golden grasses. The piece used…

history: the pre-industrial revolution, the Industrial revolution and the World Wars. Deep within these eras grew artists – poets – who showed us the vagaries of their lives during those times. The works of three poets, namely; William Wordsworth, William Butler Yeats and Seamus Heaney shall be used to represent the transition in form of behavior and life of individuals and society in these eras. Out of this traditional and apparently extremely slow unchanging pre-industrial life grew,…

well-known leaders. Two of which are known as William Wallace and Godfrey of Bouillon. These two were alive during this period and fought many battles each with their own cause. Since both Wallace and Bouillon lived under similar circumstances and same era, they were bound to be similar in some areas, both Wallace and Bouillon have very similar achievements yet they are very different when it comes to their expertise. When it comes to commanding an army both Wallace and Bouillon used promise to…

truly love each other and are in love before they are engaged; much like a typical relationship in today’s society. Elizabeth does not conform to the general views of her era. This is supported when Mr. Collins proposes to Elizabeth and she turns him down because it is not what she wants. Elizabeth describes Mr. Darcy's feelings for Elizabeth when she says, "'...you were sick of civility, of deference, of officious attention. You were disgusted with the women who were always speaking and…

During the Victorian Era, and even somewhat today, social class greatly influenced who married each other. Ideally, people married within their class and usually for money or social ties. If a pair did not fit certain standards, they could not marry each other. Bronte believed…

Gender through the lens of socialization is a process in which individuals become gendered. According to Kimmel, “We acquire our gender identity through socialization, and afterward, we are socialized to behave in a masculine and feminine way (Kimmel, 2013, p.131),” hence we’re always “doing our gender,” performing and evolving as the political, economic, and social standards change. There are several institutions that contribute to masculinity and femininity, and how members of each group…

Group 1, Question A Aristocrats of the Victorian era aimed at being perceived as extremely moral and proper; however, in the reality, the fact of being seen as moral by other members of society overshadowed being moral itself. Oscar Wilde in his “Importance of Being Ernest” satirizes the intent of people to be loved and admired for what they are not, “You look as if your name was Ernest. You are the most earnest-looking person I ever saw in my life” (Wilde 6). For Cecily and Gwendolen it is…

of the songs. The pieces ranged from being purely instrumental to art songs. There was also a mixture of music from the Baroque through the Modern era. The assorted musical periods and instruments contributed to a more varied Musicale. The group pieces at the beginning and end of the Musicale sounded the most contemporary. “On stranger Tides” was a good choice to start with because it was from a popular movie with which most of the audience was familiar with. The audience was acquainted with…
