the only place I really noticed any Indian dolls being featured. This leads to a misrepresentation of their culture and race as a whole. The outfits, architecture, and the magic behind genies are bundled with Indian culture, making them more of a novelty. They were not portrayed as just regular characters, they were presented with stereotypical practices of their…

Representation is often found as a theme in public art pieces and two public art pieces that masterfully capture this are Gisele Amantea’s Memento (Poodle) and Douglas Coupland’s Golden Tree. Both use the theme of representation in contrasting and harmonious forms while incorporating iconization. Gisele Amantea’s public art installation Memento…
but it can’t be the only motivation. As said by David Nusair from Reel Film Reviews the “characters… are scarcely developed beyond their most superficial attributes, and it becomes exceedingly difficult to care about any of their exploits once the novelty of the film's look wears off.” Overall, I would say Blade Runner is a very good film, but it isn’t great and definitely not one of my favorites but good enough to make me want to find the supposedly superior Director’s…

I felt younger, lighter, happier in body; within I was conscious of heady recklessness, a current of disordered sensual images running like a mill race in my fancy"(44). Jekyll loves how this drug makes him feel and he does not…
the current study, the effect of nilotinib, a marketed drug used by human beings that has a well-defined safety profile, was investigated on APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. Nilotinib treatments for mice were found to protect against APAP-induced liver injury as indicated by decreasing the elevated levels of serum ALT, AST, LDH and GGT activities. The protective effect exerted by nilotinib against APAP-induced liver injury was further confirmed histopathologically by preventing APAP-induced…
teenagers are not fully developed, and this leads them to committing actions that an adult in the same situation might not commit. Studies show that, “In adolescents, the striatum is more reactive than in adults, making adolescents more excited by novelty and feelings of reward ” (Broadway 3). Neuroscientists have determined…
Left-handed people may have problems with scissors or other things but, people have found a solution to that, introducing left-handed stores!

The natives and the Europeans differed in many ways. They had different languages, cultures, and even looked different. Christopher Columbus and Thomas Harriot were some of the explorers that came to the…
