For the last few centuries, robots have assisted humans in the creation of apparel. Although, with recent advancements in technology, many are beginning to question whether machines will one day be able to encompass the capacity to be creative. While some people believe that jobs involving human creativity, such as fashion design, aren’t at risk of becoming largely influenced by automation, I affirm that fashion design is nearing the tipping point of becoming so technologically advanced that a…

The purpose of the Counter-Reformation was for the Catholic Church to revive itself after the Protestant Reformation where the Church was threatened with the conversions to Protestantism. While this was a very dramatic and life changing time for religion and people, art went through a complete transition in terms of its style. Post-reform, art was very much absent in churches, and non-religious art was humanist, consisting of genre and landscape paintings. When the Catholic Church fought back…

The 1920’s society in America displayed many different concerns, these concerns are highlighted in the novel The Great Gatsby. F.

Impressionist art is typical, strict, clear, and concise whereas post-impressionism you could say…

the passive voice must be used. First, passive voice is justified if the receiver of the action is more important than the creator of the action. They use this example: A priceless Rembrandt painting was stolen from the Metropolitan Museum of Art yesterday by three men posing as janitors. In this case, the Rembrandt should remain the subject of the sentence even though it receives the action. The painting is obviously more important--more newsworthy--than the three men who stole it.…

Technology, it overruns our daily lives constantly. Teenagers are always spending time on their phones and laptops every day, yet the arts are being lost as fast as technology is developing. Furthermore, the art of literature is being lost. We see people on their phones texting and tweeting to express themselves, but what happened to sitting down and getting lost in a book?

Newspaper reports stated that local Awami League leaders were initially seen mobilising the mob and emphasising the sentimental religious issue to counter the opposition. The Daily Star, a widely circulated national daily, reported that a motley group comprising local leaders of pro-Awami League organisations, BNP men, madrasa students and common people were allegedly…

However, the large drop in PalmKid’s contribution margin per unit combined with a decrease in the actual number of PalmPro units sold as well as a drop in the actual contribution margin per unit below budget, led to the total contribution margin being much lower than budgeted.
