Symbolic interactionism studies communication of meaning and social development of meaning using symbols, also the social construction of meaning that people impose on objects, events, and behaviours (Crossman, 2015). To most, someone that is homeless is considered to be someone that has no ambition to do anything with their lives or any desire to have any material objects in life (Christian, 2015). People also believe that the homeless have had many opportunities in life to go out and get…

The European Renaissance was a cultural movement that lasted from the 14th to the 16th centuries. It was a cultural and social change revolution, that was characterized as ingenuity, imagination and creativity.

When you hear the name Leonardo da Vinci, you immediately think of a fascinating Renaissance artist, but before he emerged as a successful artist, he was just a man looking for someone to pay him to paint. Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 near Vinci, Italy. He was a much loved child and his father’s only son. Leonardo was a brilliant child, so brilliant that, “he used to baffle his master with the questions and problems he raised.” Pg.22. Since he had such an astute mind, he ended up being…

The Cost of 'Sheltering' The Homeless May Be Too High A question I hear a lot when I’m talking about homelessness in New York, is: “why don’t the homeless just stay in shelters?” It is more complex than many New Yorkers imagine–both the problems and the purported solutions. For me, the more important question is: ‘why shelters at all?’ As someone who has spent a lot of time with the homeless–as a volunteer EMT and as someone who lived on the streets for 3 nights–I know firsthand how we have…

Yesterday when I was researching the major Renaissance artists da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael,and Brunelleschi I looked at their artwork and I was most impressed with leonardo’s. Leonardo da vinci was simply a genius in general and poetic sense . His painting, anatomy studying, and many sketches inventions. He lives up to his title of being the Renaissance man. By far in my opinion the coolest invention by da Vinci was his machine gun. The 33-barrelled organ was never built but it would have…
