revolution. Dr. McKinley discussed the influence the neo-classical world had on the art and architecture of the period. We discussed how the French like the Greeks and Romans emphasized the use of precise archaeological exactitude, which was down to their understanding of the classical world. Whether it is the French replica of the Pantheon (the Panthéon), or the Sacré-Cœur, neo-classical influence is all over the architecture of this period. Not only is neo-classical architecture scattered…

Neo-colonialism occurred during this time period, which forced developing nations to follow a democratic or communist approach towards their policies.

I watched the Ted talk video, “The fascinating secret lives of giant clams” by Mei Lin Neo. This speech essentially entails information regarding giant clams, such as their basic size or growth status and most importantly how important/essential they are to their aquatic environment/ecosystem. While this speech was well presented and very informative, there are a few points in which Mei Lin Neo falls short on. Starting with her good points first, she was very confident regarding her topic, which…
that differ dramtically in both size and composition.

For instance, the ‘club banger’ by Petey Pablo and ‘let’s go’ by Trick Daddy sets cast for the dirty rapping from the south.

The main character in each story…

sense of self from unravelling following the revelation of his wife’s affair. Night Moves is a prime example of neo-noir that is very self-aware of its classic noir film roots and uses its protagonists paranoia, and constantly crumbling sense of self to reflect a breakdown in confidence of a post-Watergate America.

The male gaze is internationally prevalent throughout the history of art and film. The gender power asymmetry that dominated the nineteenth-century was a commanding force in how artists catered to the male viewer.
