The Motion Picture Production Code (MPPC), or more famously known as The Hays Code, was set into motion in the 1930s and was ultimately discontinued in the 1960s. The MPPC, affected hundreds of films throughout that time period, I will be focusing on how it affected films like 1932’s Scarface and 1942’s Casablanca. Both of these films, came out after the code was released with a 10 year interval in between. These films were both heavily affected by the code and had to make many changes to adapt…

museum that I chose to go was to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which was holding an exhibition that was dedicated to Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera, Picasso and Rivera: Conversations Across Time. The piece that stood out to me the most was Pre-Columbian America by Diego Rivera that features indigenous imagery and creates an alternative view of America. The piece itself was made with oil on canvas with bright colors, which features many scenes that depicts the daily lives of the…

The lifecycle of a drug is its path from discovery to market. This journey involves basic research, the discovery of a compound, preclinical development, increasingly complicated clinical trials in human subjects, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. This entire process can take up to 15 years and cost hundreds of millions of euro. (1) For every drug that gets approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US, 5,000 to 10,000 compounds don't make it through the process,…

Poetry has typically defied the confines of the period it was written in and ushers in a new era in terms of ideas, politics, art, music, and everyday life. In the Victorian Period, many poets would write about ideas, the current attitudes toward women, and the resisting temptation, from a new viewpoint, which lead to changing thoughts and morals among the masses (Khanna and Landow). Although the word ‘Victorian’ brings to mind conformity, the Victorian Era of poetry is anything but typical…

A Philosophical Stand-Off The pre-Socratic philosophers were among the first to lay the foundation upon which our current beliefs and philosophies were built upon. These philosophers of ancient Greece were some of the very first scholars to apply logic to the universe and attempt to rationalise the world around them. Just the thought that these individuals had such a colossal ability to infer, with regard to the era they presided in and the resources accessible to them, is simply remarkable.…

Greek philosophy is widely considered as the beginning of organized Western thought. Mathematics, science (including biology, cosmology, and physics), political theory, psychology and more were all developed in the Greek era. Ancient Greece’s influence on philosophy is so abundant that the works of Plato are often considered the footnotes of western philosophy. In making such a bold conviction it is only to say that Ancient Greece marked the starting point for Western philosophy. In this paper I…

illustrating, and later, her writing. Christina herself went on to write many texts that are still studied to this day, to include “Goblin Market” and “Remember”.

Therefore, Dante would have seen how sex could potentially destroy a woman’s life. He may have pondered over wedding a woman who would have…

By nature, every single person ever created was born with different views and ideas. There may be groups of people that agree on certain subjects and ideas, but not everyone is the same. From what someone automatically thinks of when they see a painting to how they interpret a work of poetry. The words, thoughts, and images that come to one's mind differ from the many other people in the world. ☆In the painting, Circe Pouring Poison Into a Vase and Awaiting the Arrival of Ulysses, Sir Edward…

The True Power Of Women In Mrs. Warren’s Profession by George Bernard Shaw, the characters presented in the play each depict a Victorian stereotype relative to their gender role during this time period. During the Victorian era, males were privileged and could do whatever they pleased in order to live the life they dreamed of. “The man’s power is active, progressive, and defensive. He is eminently the doer, the creator, the discoverer, the defender. His intellect if for speculation and…
