The Emersonian Scholar: Understanding Nonconformity, Integrity, and Self-Reliance We are all victims of conformity, whether it be consciously or unconsciously. We change the way we behave or think in response to social pressures by accepting society’s expectations of us. Human beings naturally want to be functioning parts of society, and others have the power to influence what they believe and how they behave; therefore, the process of becoming an Emersonian scholar is extremely complex. It is…

The history of Latin American art is far reaching from the period before colonization up to the present time.

The theme of this exhibition will focus on Academic History painting from the nineteenth century with the title "Contradicting Political Messages from the Academies." The exhibition will cover the countries of Mexico, Brazil, and…

The last beams of sunlight fade away behind the houses across the street. The soft sound of yarn being pulled out of its roll is drowned out by the chatter of a news anchor on the tv. Cheryl Austin sits in her chair, crocheting a boot cuff out of a deep blue yarn. Occasionally she looks up when her husband speaks, or when something interesting happens on the tv. In streaks her two dogs, Koko and Andi, growling and yipping at each other playfully. Suddenly, Andi notices her mistress and begins to…

When presented the question “What is responsible for the presence of sexual violence within the context of religion?” my initial response did not come easily or clearly. It’s a common misguided belief that sexual violence and religion go hand in hand when thinking about Islam, but when it comes to Christianity and Catholicism more specifically, we don’t associate the two. Although I know about Islam more than the average American I still held that schema that Muslim women are oppressed and…

The idea for the electric chair was brought up by Albert Southwick who watched a drunk touch an electrical generator. It appeared to be painless, so they paid Edwin Davis to create the first chair. “Closely resembling the modern device, Davis’ chair was fitted with two electrodes, which were composed of metal disks held together with rubber…

In the writings of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “Notes from the underground” and LU XUN’S “Diary of a madman,” the idea of an unreliable narrator is deeply imbedded to make the reader deliberate twice of the situation at hand. In both writings, there are characters whose credibility has been seriously compromised. However, the characters in both writing differ in their levels of credibility and verge of insanity. Furthermore, both authors allude to the many social problems relevant in their society and…

Kiya was a pharaoh, not just any pharaoh, but a pharaoh of the whole Egyptian empire, and at such a young age. Kiya was given her status at the age of 14, and she’d ruled since then for nearly a decade, leaving her at 23. Kiya was renown in her kingdom as a symbol of beauty, a symbol of the female form in its most pure. Her people would come from miles around, on foot or by animals back just to a get a distant view of her sitting on a throne or waving from her balcony window. She had princes…

Fairytale Once upon a time, in the faraway land of Clandestia, Prince Fallacy, heir to the Kingdom of Peccance, was feeling largely dismayed by the lousy damsel before him. They were currently stood in the Peccance castle, shaped by points (-9, -17), (-5,-17), (-9, -14) and (-5, -14). "Please, Fa," she pleaded. "The last time I let Drogher run wild, he ate all the kingdom's pasties and everyone blamed me." "For the last time, Finis, I am not chasing down your demented cow." Princess Finis…
