When we went to city of Napoli, my cousin was persistent on us going to this hole in the wall pizza restaurant called, L 'Antica Pizzeria da Michele. When we arrived to the restaurant we were appalled at how many people were waiting outside for a table, making us hesitant to go inside and find out how long the wait was for a 13-person group. Eventually someone squandered up the courage and we found out the wait was three hours…

I chose to take the Asian American IAT because I wanted to know if I subconsciously preferred American faces to Asian American faces. I haven 't…

factors, distance or height, and the acceleration. Because the object was dropped to the ground, the acceleration should be the gravity acceleration, which is 9.8m/s². All free-falling objects were accelerating downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s², whatever the mass and surface area was. About 600 years ago, a famous Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei had done thousands of experiment to prove that: “An falling object accelerates uniformly: it picks up equal amounts of speed in equal time…

More simply put, works of art have a meaning. Danto believes this theory solves the “Problem of Indiscernible Counterparts.” Warhol’s boxes have a meaning to them that ordinary boxes do not have. The same can be applied to the Leaning Tower of Pisa lookalike and the copy of Macbeth typed by monkeys. They are merely a pile of rocks and a sequence of random letters. Danto goes on to state that a definition of art must include more than simply the requirement of being representational, because not…
