Societal collapse

Kathleen Kerner Dance History Mr. Garfinkel 12/1/14 “Pina” Bausch Philippine, or “Pina”, Bausch created some of the most interesting and radical modern dance works of her time because they are based on human relations and how we interact with each other. Born in 1940, in Solingen, Germany, she was born into a family of business owners with her parents owning a connecting restaurant and hotel. She and her siblings worked for her parents at a very young age. In doing so, Pina would observe…

income exceeds 5, it becomes disadvantageous for the societal unit involved. Tinbergen discussed some of the minor points in article that was published in 1981 but never expanded publically on his…

Powerful women don’t fare well in histories when looked at through the lens of a patriarchal society. It speaks volumes that Visenya Targaryen is still respected by the Maesters as both a Warrior and a Queen and not dismissed because she’s “on her moonblood.” The Conquest was not a solo project, yet her brother got the credit in the stories while his sisters got hills in Kings Landing named after them. She was a founding mother that helped set the stage for everyone that followed her. She is…

themselves for power. On the other hand, Lear’s foil, Gloucester, faces a similar problem with his sons. He becomes blinded by Edmund’s persona, which leads to him getting blinded and betrayed. Their blindness and foolishness leads to the downfall and collapse of the kingdom. All in all, Shakespeare in the play showcases that one should not be easily blinded or make foolish decision because they can have serious…

The American Dream is a concept that was always deeply embedded in the American psyche from the very beginnings of its earliest settlements. The concept emerged through the cognition of America as the “promised land”, the mythical symbol of a “new Eden”, a “Kingdom of Heaven on Earth”, where man was in complete control of his political, social, mercantile and religious destiny. Despite the internal tensions the Civil War brought forth, the rapid growth of industrialisation of the nineteenth…

GOLD STANDARDS Every day, more and more, it has become almost inevitable to not turn on the TV and hear nothing but the fact that the economy is taking a turn for the worse as the days pass by. One can’t help but presume—more likely assume—there be no light at the end of the tunnel. America, as a whole, all that she is comprised of, finds herself at what almost can be classified as tumultuous. And with the national economy being stagnant at most, the question of whether or not to reinstate the…

A standard. A global monetary standard. Such the day, as capricious as it may sound, may not be so inconceivable after all. It might just very well be right around the corner. For those who service the media as a sort of “global creed,” it is with great disappointment to find it saturated with too many economic disparities and presumptuous assumptions. Adept theorists are blatantly candid in sharing the reason(s) they believe are the cause(s) of the current state of turmoil. And it goes without…

What is Human Nature? A critique of the utopian ideal Hsun Tzu famously claimed that humans are evil, and although I wouldn’t opt for such emotive terminology, I believe that he was on the right lines. Humans are not evil; but they are inherently bad. Evil suggests something much more sinister, a plotting mind with a purpose for destruction. Rather, the process of evolution has determined human nature as innate and selfish, with survival and self-preservation an unconscious priority. I…

The Early Medieval period can be understood as the period lying between the ancient and the medieval. This era like the ‘Ancient’ and the ‘Modern’ has a personality of its own because it was not merely a period of time between the 4th-5th century and the 12th century but one that marked the transition between the ancient and modern world. The early medieval age in India was an era which showed immense transition, developments in the society’s social, economic and political field and drastic…
