Developing a better understanding of the concepts and elements of music through education can greatly improve one's musical appreciation. Just as you can come to better enjoy fine cuisine, art, dance, and theater by cultivating a foundation of knowledge and familiarity on the subjects, music is a vastly more rewarding experience when you know how to listen actively. By becoming aware of the five fundamental disciplines within a musical composition, it is possible to open your ears to a piece of…

In a typical court, determinations of criminal liability require a voluntary act and intent to commit a criminal act. Legal theory refers to this as Actus Rea and Mens Rea, and liability as the state of being responsible for something. The legal requirement rests on Mens Rea to determine culpability and the actor’s mental state. A general example of this in criminal law is how liability or no liability in a murder case rests on the actor causing the death intentionally. The goal of this paper is…

The invention of photography has direct correlations to the notions of documentary. Historically, a photograph represented the means to preserve a snapshot of the world as accurately as possible. This suggests something in opposition to art, the photographer is not portraying his or her vision of the world, in so far as expressionist painters of the time would be. Instead, they are merely capturing and collating information, as a historian would. Slowly it can be seen that these notions began to…

regards to the focus of space in the room: “From the late 1760s onward, a new meeting house idiom inspirited symmetry, uniformity, and equality in its plan” (Herman 153). Much like the individual in the Quaker community, it became obvious that the minimalism of design in the Quaker meting house reveals the plainness of architectural expression that made all members of the community equal to each other. Therefore, an effort to create an egalitarian and open meeting place helps to force the…

They did a really good job at making it look like it was actually underneath the tunnel. The way it was painted in the colors they used made it very realistic. There's also sort of minimalism to it that was great because it kind of showed that you don't need to represent every single object in the play, you can use things to stand-in for other things. Spectacle was my way in to the performance because of the imagery, especially the graffiti…

It depicts a playful with smirky smile angel whom opens Teresa’s robe and aims with an arrow at her breast. It represents…
