The song “The Globalist” by MUSE emphasizes the message that monstrous human behaviors are byproducts of humanity itself. The subject of this song is about human nature in the context of wars and dictatorships. Through the use of changes in tones throughout the piece like going from a cinematic to a harsh and then a melancholy tone, MUSE really wants people to hear the rise and fall of an empire both lyrically and musically. They use heavy drumbeats to really express this. MUSE emphasizes three…

All religions that have been discussed thus far, have had an impact on several cultures within this era. Over time, each religion has been modified to fit that time period or culture with different theories and philosophies. Of these, philosophies such as Stoicism, Sophism, Idealism and Other Hellenistic philosophies. While other religions were abolished by rulers or by the very people whom adopted another religion. Christianity does not differ from this from of being “modified.” At this point,…

When you think about American Culture, what comes to your mind? It may be something like football, the Internet, hot dogs or movies. You could have also thought on a place like Hollywood or New York, or a landmark like the Statue of Liberty or Mount Rushmore. You could have gone even further and consider our strong value of freedom and respect to democracy, or what we many consider a taboo. The American Culture is very strong, so much that it plays a major role on popular culture and it is…

America is supposed to be known as the melting pot where all races can come together and help each other with no hate. However, America has been doing everything but bringing people together from different regions. The people of America have been dividing into separate groups at an alarming rate ever since President Donald Trump came to power. A model for Christian Charity mentions a ligament, love, between people. The fact that the nation is still segregated and people are being shunned because…

Part #1 1. I believe that the differences in cultures is shrinking and cultures are becoming similar. With the level of media that is available throughout the world, different cultures are now more recognized and followed. Also, the same products are now available throughout the world and this doesn't allow any certain cultures to have their own products or styles to be known by themselves. 2. I believe that there are still some differences in cultures that need to be marketed differently. If…

Cultural globalization causes fewer conflicts which helps promote more equality. Many countries suffer from racial and gender biases. The diffusion of values from around the world allows for a more open society. People are exposed to different cultures, which in turn leads to less discrimination. They are more accepting of new ideas and are willing to adapt their beliefs to incorporate these customs. Cultural globalization is the spread of values around the world. The development of our species…

The Nineteenth Century brought a new movement to the art world in the form of Impressionism. Impressionism is creating art with blurred images rather than defined lines. One of these Impressionist artists include Marie Bracquemond. Marie’s painting entitled Woman with an Umbrella consists of thin, blurred and controlled lines of pastel colors to intrigue art-lovers. The objective view of the painting remains clearly identifiable. In the middle of the painting is an average woman, wearing a soft…

The world came together from everyone migrating one place to another. Our nation, the United States of America, was made from immigrants. There’s a good amount of every nationality here. If we didn’t have diversity, life would be quite boring. Having different languages, and cultures is fun learning about and experiencing. Others have their own opinions on major topics. Some people believe immigration should be stopped, and others think differently. Immigration reform mainly focuses on…

For my third museum visit I went to the museum of fine arts in St. Petersburg on the 21st of April. This museum had everything from classical antiquity sculptures to contemporary abstract art. The piece that I am going to discuss in detail is titled Encroachment and was painted by Jay Hall Connaway. When first looking at this oil painting, aspects of the scenery stand out most. The painting depicts waves crashing into rocks along the coastline. In particular, there is one wave that is in the…

Every individual person in the modern world is innately capable of performing similar duties as everyone else, yet people differ immensely in cultures and beliefs. The levels of advancement and innovation are also unmistakably diverse, leading to certain societies dominating and seizing control over others. Recognizing the causes of these economic and social dissimilarities is crucial in analyzing and attempting to find an approach in dealing with world conflicts. Jared Diamond, an ornithologist…
