The Shape of Things

Analogy” in order to demonstrate conclusively that things are known through the intellect rather than the senses and that the mind is better known than the body. Specifically, the argument is concerned with how we know rather than what we know. The argument concentrates on transformation— that is, a piece of wax melting into liquid wax. Descartes states that our senses allow us to know about a piece of wax: its colour, taste, smell, size, shape, and solidity. When the wax is placed near a fire,…

of eye catching and visually pleasing points. The feel of looking out onto a field from inside a room is a life like view. One thing I noticed is that shape was used. This is because of the organic and geometric shapes found in this work. Geometric shapes are found in the windows, the square shaped drawers, and there are also rectangles throughout the work. Organic shapes can be seen in the trees as well as the blades of grass seen outside the window. The warm, analogous color scheme used in…

key roles in bringing forth these changes, and shape the culture and climate surrounding how these changes are forged. The process through which the population breaks down these changes and develop their own perspective on politics is referred to as Political Socialization (“Political Socialization”). This process can be affected by a person’s family, religion, education, the mass media, and many others (“Political Socialization”, “What Factors Shape Political…

personal experiences shape the way that one thinks, acts, and even speaks. Are these things positive or negative? Why do these experiences do this, and how do they affect everyone else's values? For instance, compare the two texts, "Mother to Son" and "A Celebration of Grandfathers". These two texts are great examples of how personal experiences shape people's values. Although the two texts were written at different times, they share a very similar way of how personal experiences shape the…

Originally I was unsure on which investigation to pick however after looking at each in detail the T-Shaped investigation seemed more logical to me. At the beginning, I took a very random approach in picking the different T-Shapes (10, 20, 39, 5) I could not draw much of a conclusion (see figure one.) After reevaluating, I decided to take a more systematic approach, going along number by number to work out the T total. I was unable to start at T1 because of the number grid, therefore the first…

Watercolor Shapes in Fourth Grade Cubism and almost anything abstracted from reality is my favorite thing in art and in my opinion shows creativity. When I was back in elementary school I always dreaded art assignments or activities that required precision and rigid step by step directions. Blame it on my caregiver 's permissive parenting style but, I liked to do things independently. Following teacher’s direction in art, frustrated me when the final product didn 't look exactly like the…

Icy Figures Did you know, that all snowflakes are different? They are amazing, unique figures. Flakes are beautiful because of their extraordinary shapes, their variety of myths, and how they're created from the dust of the earth. It's good to know about snowflakes because according to Fake Flakes by Trent Bradshaw, most stores, schools, libraries, and many other similar places have an incorrect replica decoration about a real snowflake. I'm not saying you can't put up a design with the…

“To what extent do the concepts that we use shape the conclusion that we reach?” When you think about it, to a certain extent we actually utilize the concepts that we acquired overtime to shape the conclusions reached. We as people for the part may use concepts that we know, take pieces from it and use what we know ourselves to come up with this conclusion. To be able to achieve the goal of actually giving a direct answer to this question, reasoning and memory would be used as ways of knowing…

What certain things change the aspect of how you define your cultural identity? Everyone won’t have the same view of identity when it comes to how we view it. This is due to the fact that we each have a diffident experience with how we define ourselves. In my case I believe my cultural identity relies on what I have learned. Cultural identity impacts my perception by what I eat, what I do, and how I interact with others. I believe that by what I eat is a good point that shapes who I see my…
