and develop and grow the town further. Housing in Medieval towns for the average serf or freeholder would not be the prettiest sight. Houses in most towns would be 4-6 stories tall because of steep land prices and the priority of staying inside the wall. This would make streets narrow, houses crowded and a rather dark atmosphere. People would also have to share their houses with their livestock if they wanted to keep their livestock. Although medieval society had evolved with towns, peasants…

Nevertheless, American and Indian societies have many differences when dealing with family, food, and diet. American and Indian culture both have strong religious beliefs. Many people in the Indian society share the same…

Rene Magritte’s The Therapeutist is an amazing piece of art. Rene used surrealism and some cubism to show that opening-up to others, and supporting them, can help set them free from their problems. This piece of artwork was completed in 1937. The painting protrays an image of a rusty metal bird cage, that is housing shelter for one white dove, and is holding up another on square wood plank on the outside of the cage door, which is sitting on a man’s lap. To add in, this man is holding a cane in…

Whether or not its practical, culture in our country is forever changing, knowing the different lifestyles is a necessity.

The Persian Gulf War has been just the beginning of a completely new epidemic in the world. In the United States military, every soldier has to be aware and learn about different cultures in the world. From Germany to Korea to the Philippines and Iraq, it…

The type of artwork that attracts me shows scenes of mother Earth from the bottom of the deep blue ocean floor to the silent and breathtaking galaxy and everything in between the two layers. In the East Asian culture, the Syngman Rhee Era pertained artworks of the bird and flower painting genre where simple drawings of simple life forms were used as the major subject (Yong-Jin, Kim 1¬¬¬¬). At the University Of Michigan Museum Of Art, Kim Yong-Jin’s Fourteen Fruit and Flower Sketches features…

If one thing is true, it is culture has always remained important in society. So the question of the matter is how can culture be so important, but at the same time ruin civilizations that once ruled the land. The perfect example of this being Sparta, Sparta was a prominent city-state in ancient…

As we embark upon a journey, where two artists, only decades apart, contributed their finest pieces of art that forever added to the great collections of prodigious historical art. These two fine artists clearly display their true skill sets and artisanship in their paintings of themselves. Frida Kahlo, with her famous surreal self-portrait with a monkey and Judith Leyster, with her self portrait of her painting within the picture. Both self-portraits have many differences, but also have small…

A German poet by the name of Johann Wolfgang once said “Go to foreign countries and you will get to know the good things one possesses at home” by reading the Ugly American it seems like all the characters can relate. Americans were genuinely trying to better Sarkhan but the communist weren’t really accepting to foreigners who were trying to come in their native homes and change how things were being done. The Americans were said to be completely different when they joined a different countries…
