While the fight for progression and equality is an everlasting and ever-growing situation, it is clear to see in many pieces of culture and arts that America has not progressed as far as it claims. Historically, the United States has created an uneven balance of racial bias and racial injustice among its citizens.

They are stripped, and marked on the chest by an iron. These imprints coincide with the marks of the French, English, and Dutch, in an attempt to distinguish their “property”. The fact this demeaning act of branding is treated nonchalantly, exhibits where the overall value is placed. In Document 10, the various…

the attitude, memory and the psychology of those who experience it. People attach importance and interpret physical existence of the built environment with reference to earlier encounters: the earlier existence of grandeur in architecture left an imprint on the conception of scale and location of works of architecture.

As with her lover and her partner in sin, the life of Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter gives key insights to idea that shame varies from individual to individual, and from society to society. Like Dimmesdale, she experiences a deep shame for her previous actions. Unlike Dimmesdale however, she is punished for her crime and is forced to wear an embroidered scarlet ‘A’, as a token of her shame, “the same reason that the minister keeps his hand over his heart” (Hawthorne 122). From here, her…

one of the purest forms of evil, and that discriminating and taking advantage of someone out of spite of their race is immoral and wrong. Scout and Jem’s father believes in the equality of races, and does everything in his power to enforce that and imprint it into children’s young, innocent…

Today, at an archaeological site on the West side of the ancient town of Mt. Pleasant, in a living complex known as Tallgrass, we have made an interesting and rare discovery.

There is an emblem that appears to be painted onto the front of a flaming circle, with two lines separating the circle into four pieces. The object seems to have…

Whitney Noonan 3/17/2016 Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection was his way of explaining adaptation and speciation. This theory gave a reason as to why species “change” over time and explained the process. This was a huge discovery for Darwin because now we know that species are not fixed and are changing. Ethology, the study of animals in their natural environments, also played a role in the development of Darwin’s theory. Konrad Lorenz’s geese imprinting experiment…
