There are lots of very influential people in this bracket. However, our most influential Americans are Jackie Robinson, George C. Marshall, Martin Luther King Jr., and Henry Ford. The most influencial American needs to be somebody that not only affected his time period, but also affects ours. For that reason, I choose Henry Ford. Jackie Robinson was the first African American to play a professional sport, which opened the door for others to play at the proffesional level. But he didn’t merely…

male gaze by reproducing and manipulating it, that idea served as the basis of Wilke’s feminist art. Her feminist critiques remain consistent throughout her work even when she is not the sole subject of it. Portrait of the Artist with her Mother, Selma Butter featuring her healthy, nude upper body next to her mother’s ailing, nude body is a clear example of Wilke’s commentary on femininity and objectification that doesn’t flaunt her beauty but rather uses it as a reference for hegemony. However…

During my studies in AP U.S. History, my favorite topic to discuss was the racial Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and “Swinging Sixties.” I was fascinated by how America’s rebellious nature since the Revolutionary War would lead to constant stress upon the idea of social change and equality within the nation’s cultural identity. The image that is depicted in this collage was inspired by the cover of a touching novel that I had read in middle school called Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson.…

Journal 5: What is appealing to me regarding Chinese films is the very heavy use of some form of martial arts in most of their films. While I was looking on Google trying to figure out what movie I should watch for this journal, I notice while rea ding the descriptions, that most of the films dealt with some kind of martial arts training. Additionally, what I also found appealing while looking at which movies to watch, was how most of the films were set back in time and the movies were mainly…

Beowulf: A Reflection of Cultural Context. A society's culture and values are dependant on their standard of living. Anglo-Saxons in harsh winter weather constantly warred amongst the neighboring tribes for food, valuables, and territory. In a world where survival hinges on combat, rulers would extol the concept of glory in death. These people were not allowed the luxury of having compassion, not to say they were completely void of it, but it was not necessary. Conversely, we today live in a…

The well-known epic poem, Beowulf, continuously strives for the new views of the thematic approach. Seamus Heaney translated Beowolf in an effort to help create different theories and views on this epic poem. This epic poem is based off Danish warriors seeking revenge on a monster, while being saved by a tenacious leader during the Anglo-Saxon time period. This has lead to two very different and yet similar films. “Beowulf and Grendel”, directed by Sturla Gunnarsson in 2005, and Beowulf,…

rights, in 1965 Martin Luther King and the SCLC attempted to lead a peaceful march through Alabama from Selma to Montgomery. Any type of movement made by African Americans was an insult to the white people because, if any, change scared them. Although the march included northern whites, they were treated just as blacks because they joined with the “scum.” The demonstration did not make it out of Selma, Alabama, due to police resistance waiting for them at the Edmund Pettus Bridge. At two failed…
