A person’s identity is something that is very personal and is hard to describe and express to other people. Some people prefer to be identified by their physical characteristics, whereas others would rather be identified by their personality and how they are as a person. Knowing the difference between the two is one of the hardest things to do when you first meet someone. The same thing applies to art when trying to capture the identity of the artist. One’s identity can be defined by their experiences, ethnicity, religion, values, childhood, family background, among many other factors that make up a person’s identity. A piece of art can be perceived differently in the eyes of the audience, so it is vital that an artist’s work efficiently senses the artist’s identity. An artist who genuinely puts their heart into the piece and has the aim of expressing themselves through their heart has the powerful ability of conveying any message to an audience. Shirin Neshat, a visual artist from Iran, is known for her work in film and photography. A big portion of a person’s identity derives from a person’s family background and childhood. Neshat, grew up in a wealthy family of five children in an extremely religious town in north-western Iran. Unlike most of those in her town, her father, a physician, dreamed of life in the western world and adopted many western values. Her parent’s western values caused Neshat to be enrolled in a Catholic boarding school. Different from the…

Recently I’ve been thinking quite a bit about identity. Partially due to our discussions regarding it in class but also because of the part of my life I’m in. This is my second month of Freshman year and I have no idea where I fit into all of this. I feel like I’ve spent my whole life building an identity expecting it to be done by now. However, I am beginning to realize just how far I have to go and how excited I am to start. With this new objective in mind, I decided to take this class as a…

A) Place is a concept of two levels of meaning (Imort, Knox, Marston, and Nash 41). First, it is an objective location that has both uniqueness and interdependence with other places (Imort, Knox, Marston, and Nash 41). Second, it is a subjective social and cultural construct. In other words, somewhere that has personal meaning for individuals or groups (Imort, Knox, Marston, and Nash 41). York University is definitely a place, because one of York University‘s campuses is named “Keele campus”.…

There are different meanings for each word that is said in a language. Especially the English language. While Precession may have been looked at as angles of torque for physics or body mechanics; in astronomy precession refers to any of several slow changes in an astronomical body's rotational or orbital parameters. An example would be the steady change in the orientation of the axis of rotation of the Earth. How the earth rotates and what angle it is at changes many things. The sky we see today…

CONCEPT PAPER My identity is a collection of thoughts, feelings, and ideals that best describe how I perceive myself. I consider my own identity as that of a caring and outgoing young man, who is viewed by his friends as somewhat charismatic. For example, physically I am a young man impacted by spina bifida, a condition in which a portion of the spine is outside the body at birth. The…

I’m glad to say that we don’t have to live up to anyone expectation; however, in order to make the final decision to establish the foundation of your professional identity we must look with ourselves to find that professional identity.…

Identity today is a complex subject. What is your identity? What specific traits determine who you are? It’s difficult to give an exact definition to such an abstract concept but many authors have expressed their perspective on it through their literature. Two works that share a common subject of identity and its meaning are The Secret Life of Walter Mitty by James Thurber and Identity by Julio Noboa Polanco. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty tells the story of Walter, a man who fantasizes daily…

Is certainty necessary for knowledge? To really answer this question, we have to define what knowledge really is. Then in turn, we have to define what certainty really is. Truth also should be defined in order to help better understand the question. Once all three of these terms are defined then the main question can be dealt with. Truth should be dealt with first since it is the underlying aspect of the question. Some people could consider certainty truth. However, I do not feel as if…
