I was born on September 29, 1998. A fact so simple, yet just a couple of years ago, I would have said that this piece of information is enough for anyone to know who I am. According to astrology, I am a Libra. I am sociable, indecisive, and diplomatic. As a child, reading these horoscopes forced me to examine myself and decide whether I fit the characteristics I was apparently supposed to identify with. I allowed these assumptions to dictate the kind of person I should be, rather than just…

Western Culture stemmed from a fusion of various civilizations. The Greek and the Roman civilizations had some of the biggest impact on the development of the ancient world. What was different about these societies from other cultures within the ancient civilizations was their political and religious systems. As Rome conquered various Hellenistic cities, they captured the essence of Greek culture and melded it within theirs. Through influence of literature, architecture, and mindset, as well as…

My vision for america’s youth today is that we focus less on the newest Jordans or the newest iPhone and focus more on issues that affect us because we are the one that inherit this earth. Materialism eats us from the inside out. Our society places significance on what you own—not who you are, it is sad and bitter fact. Many problems may arise and often do when young people embrace this culture of materialism. Lacking the means to acquire the much-valued material things, some individuals…

The amount of beliefs culture war touches upon are immense: take tax privileges away from churches, use anti-discrimination laws to target religious non-profits, and reduce religious schools’ access…

Without a doubt Ancient Greece influenced nearly every aspect of western civilization, from our architecture and literature to even our system of governing. Western cultural continually glorifies Ancient Athens, even when it probably shouldn’t. Some scholars, like Victor David Hansen, claim that the Greek victory against the Persians saved western civilizations. But the question remains, did it really save western civilization? It’s important to keep in mind that all of this is pure speculation.…

displacement and emphasises that she yearns for her family in her homeland. Yet as the movie progresses Nazneen’s costume changes, she starts from always appearing in her sari to gradually accustoming herself to western dress. This movement away from cultural dress emphasises her adaptation of western values yet she still yearns for familial connection.

Landscape art, is the art of landscapes such as natural scenery mountains, trees, and forests are the focal point for the subject. The two main traditions are from western or eastern landscapes perspectives. I will be comparing or contrasting the works of Thomas Cole and Watanabe Shiko. There are vast differences within the perspective, style and coloring when viewing the different landscape techniques. When we first view a painting we notice the visual details. The color, size, location and…

René Magritte is a surrealist artist who has produced a reputation for his “clever and intriguing imagery” using basic designs and ordinary symbolism. Maybe viewers for the most part got caught by his The Son of Man painting, but may not know the painter by name. Rather would recognize the iconic painting and the repetitive topic and theme in another depiction by this artist. There's considerably more to know about Magritte and how the painting fits into his works as a whole. René François…

The self-portraits by Frida Kahlo and Gustave Courbet have important similarities and noticeable differences. First, they both drawn planets of their face, they show sensations and both drown these plates to show the people how they feel. Also, maybe they both share their feeling because they had a hard life and that makes them feel tired, strong, or sad.Kahlo’s portrait shows different feeling like tired and mad. She looks rich but has a hard life and not happy with it. I know she feels like…
