Cultural Heritages of a Community Cultural heritage refers to the legacy obtained from the intangible characteristics of a particular group of people or their physical artifacts. Most often, the legacy is inherited from past generations. Cultural heritage can be in the form of artefacts (documents or books), built environment (landscape, agricultural heritage), natural environment (buildings). Therefore, people in the given community identify with the given elements and attain some level of pride being part of them. Cultural heritages are often protected as a show of gratefulness to past generations, which did their best to ensure that they survive to date (Barthel-Bouchier, 2016). Furthermore, the protection is often aimed at enabling future generations as well to benefit from cultural heritage. In the end, a positive chain is developed around the elements which give people in the community something to be happy about. In my home community of Cobb County, Georgia, I identify the following cultural heritage; William Root House Museum & Garden, Green Plantation, Leonidas Polk Monument and the Museum of History and Holocaust Education. The narrative aims to describe cultural…

Formal Analysis of a Relief Carving Conceptual art is sometimes referred to as conceptualism. Conceptualism is a type of art where the ideas or concepts used in coming up with the art supersede material, technical, and aesthetic concern. Conceptual art’s work is sometimes called installations – anyone can follow set guidelines to construct the artwork. The most important aspect of the work, in this case, is the concept or idea behind the sculpture (Green, 2001). It is the idea that becomes the machine of making the sculpture since planning and decisions are made before execution. On the other hand, relief carving is a sculpture that contains protruding figures from the background while at the same time, being attached to it.

Geopolitical Tensions Between the US and The Soviet Union The Cold War was a period of military, economic, and political tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States of America after the world war. After the Second World War concluded, somewhere in the range of 1945 and 1990, there existed ideological differences between the two nations. Moves in global force occasioned confusions where the Soviet Union looked for a more area while the United States tried to restrict the spread of ideologies from the Soviet Union. This prompted a clash of philosophies that elevated national security concerns, caused conciliatory difficulties, and started intermediary wars between the countries. The Cold War spread around the prevailing countries of that time.
