that spilled oil would scatter throughout the Arctic. There would be no way to halt the damage, since there is no way to get all of the oil, and help is so far away. The ice filled landscape of the Arctic provides an additional obstacle. According to Frida Bengtsson, an author for Greenpeace.com, oil behaves differently in ice; it takes longer to spread, and it gets into the ice(“The Dangers of Arctic Oil” 1). As Nancy Kinner, director of the Coastal…

Guerrilla girls The contemporary poster “Do Women Have to be Naked to Get into the MET Mueseum,” (1989) was made by the Guerilla girls in response to the conscious and unconscious discrimination in the art world at the time. The Guerrilla Girls are intersectional feminist activist artists who since their inception have underminde the idea of a mainstream narrative by revealing the understory and subtext in order to expose bad behaviour in the art world. Working collaboratively as a group to…

Sylvia Plath , not being the only American writer, was considered to be the best dramatization writer. Her childhood was like everybody’s , a childhood full of books and a desire to touch the sky with their fingertips . Sylvia Plath’s works were phenomenal, which were based on her life.Sylvia Plath was a great writer that ended her life at a young age, but who is now honored as been the “patron saint of self-dramatization” and self pity.

jobs were reserved for men. Even if women had jobs, they were often paid lower than men. If a woman were to express her thoughts, she would be labeled as “mad” and her thoughts would be disregarded. Charlotte Perkins-Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”, Frida Kahlo’s artwork, and Susanna Kaysen’s Girl, Interrupted, all had characters that experienced this unethical phenomenon. Gilman,…

Tastefully developed and carefully curated, The Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University now holds one of the largest collections of Spanish art outside of Spain. The museum prides itself on displaying widely diversified paintings, a statement I do not fully agree with. Although the two-story museum’s walls are furnished with with a wide variety of subject content there is a chauvinistic sense about their collections. I am not saying there is an unequal ratio of male to female portraits…

Medieval Barony, as well, discusses how peasants were bound to the land, much like how the whales are bound to the SeaWorld corporation. There is a clear connection between Blackfish, a documentary exposing SeaWorld of its treatment to its animals, and Frida Kahlo’s Self Portrait Between the Borderline of Mexico and the United States. Much like Kahlo felt…

In 1808, Spain is taken over by Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon disposed of the existing monarchy and installed his brother, Joseph, as head of state. The resulting war against France and Britain lasted nearly to the Mexican Revolution as Napoleon’s government falls into disarray and the revolutionaries began to gain momentum.
