as Gendered Orientalism. This is the kind of “feminism” that centers white narratives and strips away the agency of women of color. It places the West on a pedestal of gender empowerment, and thus ignores the systemic misogyny of Western nations. It generalizes non-Western cultures. It promotes the dual image of the scary brown man and the white savior. This is the “feminism” of white people (especially, but not only, men) trying to save women of color. It appropriates women’s rights movements…

This brings me to another important point in the analyzation of this text, the topic of gender and sexual identity, and how Song and Gallimard’s actions reflect those topics. Song’s attraction to Gallimard, as we learn toward the end of their twenty year “romance”, is actually much more complicated than initially thought. Song feels both ashamed, and empowered through the relationship with Gallimard, he desires to be worshipped by the Frenchman. It is not clear, however, whether Song is…

It remains for the purpose of delivering justice to all citizens with the most specific function being to punish those who impose a threat to the safety of society (MacDonald 1).

The Western World, North and South America Columbus’s discovery launched an Age of Exploration, where every European power wanted a piece of the New World. Shorty after Christopher Columbus’s voyage to the Western Hemisphere, in 1492, many Europeans also started the strenuous expedition. One of which was Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian who constituted an entirely separate journey to this second super continent, came to be named "Americas", deriving its name from Americus, the Latin version of…

basic uses like papers for school and they evolved from the printing press, which shows the impact it still has on society today. Also, some of the ideas and knowledge that the printing press helped to facilitate the spread of are still impacting the world currently. For instance, because of the printing press allowing its ideas to spread faster, the Protestant Reformation was very effective in breaking up the Church into a lot of smaller ones with slightly different beliefs (Butler). Today,…

feelings, others sink into the most total hate, but the result is the same, humanity loses any right to be called such. In the Western world and in developed countries, this phenomenon is less perceived, it is believed passed, or no longer in existence, yet it exists because it…

The Searchers is a “classic” western. It tells the story of Ethan Edwards who is accompanied by his nephew Martin Pawley and their five-year-long search to find his niece after she is captured and her family killed by the Comanche Indians. Little Big Man is a “revisionist” western. It tells the story of Jack Crabbe, a 121-year-old man asked to tell his story about his life, which includes being captured and raised by the Indians and living in a white society with a variety of jobs leading him to…

I will then talk about superhero films and how they have started, their brief history, how they’ve changed, and how westerns have influenced them…

It is well known that Western culture and the Western world has endeavored to assert itself over other cultures for many centuries. Beginning with the colonization of groups of people deemed lesser by the standards of white Europeans, who often forced their customs or religion on people they had colonized, Western civilizations continue to push their cultural standards on other parts of the world, especially when it pertains to art. In the essay, “The Trouble with the Term Art”, Carolyn Dean…

strength enough to surpass neighboring states. I agree with Huntington’s claims involving the reasons why the clash of civilizations worldwide is bound to cause conflicts in the future. I agree with the alternatives Huntington describes for the non-Western states. Interstate conflict will be an important factor in conflict around the globe. Religion will absolutely be motivation for interstate conflict as each civilization can have a wide range of beliefs and values. The differences in culture…
