Periodization

The socioemotional development of middle age children can be a challenge for both the parents and child. You as a parent can look back at the days when your child was in the early childhood phase of life which is between two to four years of age and remember how life seemed pretty carefree and for the most part pretty uneventful for both you as a parent and the child, minus the occasional temper tantrum by your two year old. Than as your child starts to approach the middle age period of their…

4. “The notion that the later Middle Ages was a calamitous, miserable period has been vastly overstated.” Before examining whether this assertion is exagerated or not, it is important to understand where this view comes from. “Struck by a plague that carried off between a fifth and a half of its population, shaken by Ottoman Turks who conquered Constantinople and moved into the Balkans, buffered by internal wars that threatened the very foundation of its political life, Europe shuddered.”1…

Taylor Mac was unlike anything I have ever seen at Mass MoCA. I’ve seen other work-in-progress performances (Big Dance Theater and another Sundance Theater performance, I believe), but it was hard to believe that this particular performance was work in progress. The entire show was planned so beautifully and Taylor Mac, was so easily adaptable that, despite his claims of it not being a polished show, everything that happened on the stage seemed intentional and very fitting. It made all five…

Journal Ten Both the novella Passing by Nella Larsen and the section of Langston Hughes’ work The Ways of White Folks entitled Dear Ma deal with the subject of African American people who are “passing” as white. The term passing means to be accepted for what one is not, and in this case refers to an African American being accepted as white. Both stories take place decades ago, 1929 in Passing and 1934 in Dear Ma. This was a period of time when racism, ignorance, and bigotry were found…

Culture can be affected by many different factors. One factor that affected medieval culture was women’s book ownership. Susan Bell makes a claim that medieval women’s special relationship with books is often overlooked, but it influenced iconography, book content, and the geographical movement of ideas. The influence of women during the later medieval period affected vernacular language, religious thought, and the spread of cultures and this influence is often overshadowed by the activities and…

Pair Four: Senufo Equestrian, wood, (19 century) [Location: British Museum] and Equestrian Portrait of Charlemagne, bronze (9 century) [Location: Louvre, Paris] When art is from two different time period and two different cultures it is thought that the two pieces when compared would not have much in common. However, that is hardly ever the case; they can have similaries in meanings and cultural significance. With the help of the readings from “Icon” and “Art Through the Ages”, along with the…

In this passage Paul looks around and he cites the difficulties that exist in his time period. He looks around and he sees the existence of pain. He see the people suffering and all to often I think we forget how hard life really is today and even more so during the period that Paul walked the earth while the church was being shaped and formed. Just turn the TV on and you can hear issues of destruction, brutality and adversity. Which my brothers and sister is a constant reminder that we…

The number eleven is a significant number to me as a professional. No, it is not the number of years I have served as an educator, or the number of schools that I have worked in, but rather the number of lives and families I saw totally destroyed by the abuse of prescription drugs. Remember, the community in which our school is located has a population s 1,500 people. The significance in the number eleven is the total number of fatal drug over-doses our school district and community dealt with…

Happy endings and fairy tales have become disney’s forte, but how they accomplish this is what matters. Over the years fairytales have evolved making women play many roles throughout the years, some submissive others assertive; the females in Little Snow-White and Beauty and The Beast portray these roles as reflections of the times in which they were created. Written in the 1800’s Little Snow-White personifies the submissive roles women played at the time. In this time period being a housewife…
