The sociological concept of feminism The sociological concept of feminism is conspicuously exhibited in the different lives of the characters of You. Notably, the rise of feminism and the empowerment it has afforded women is masterfully highlighted. As posited by various scholars, feminism seeks to eradicate the inequalities in the treatment of women and their subsequent oppression through patriarchy. Harriet Martineau embodies this in her Society in America as follows: “All women should inform themselves of the condition of their sex and their position. It must necessarily follow that the noblest of them will, sooner or later, put forth a moral power which shall prostrate hypocrisy, and burst asunder the bonds (silken to some but cold iron to others) of feudal prejudice and usages. In the meantime is it to be understood that the principles of the Declaration of Independence bear no relation to half of the human race? If so, what is the ground of this limitation?“ As such, women are deemed equal to men, even intellectually, and should hence be afforded the same proactive roles and opportunities as…

Ozymandias             Different motives always lead authors in their writing works, and Percy Shelley was not an exemption. The writing of Ozymandias has been interpreted differently by readers, but Shelley appeared to have a hidden purpose behind writing the poem. Shelley’s work came at a time when the British people had an extreme interest in learning about the history of Egypt. Ozymandias happened to be one of the greatest pharaohs and had built a statue in his owner with the belief that the statue would help in keeping his legacy forever. Most people have associated Shelley’s work with the desire to win a contest that had been organized at the time. Shelley was, however, led by his political radicalization to write about a subject that would help in reminding the monarchs that their rule was only seasonal and that their legacy would end after their death. The setting of the writing contest was coincidental to Shelley’s political radicalization, and he decided to use the opportunity to pass his ideas. Generally, an author has more than one audience, and this was…

The Least Desirable Place to Live             The sun is shining reluctantly and with hesitation to the tall building of Downtown in Los Angeles, giving it a beautiful scenery. The sun rays are so animated, creeping through the windows of those tall buildings thus acting as a catalyst of eager, a curious inspiration of a place that is full of peace and tranquility. The city is the main artery of livelihood for the Angelinos as its population can be compared to that of the New York. As a business center, there are several aspects which makes the city an attractive place with flourishing activities. The place is endowed with recreational points which includes the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Olvera Street, and other architecture places. The presence of all these pleasure delicacies makes Downtown a source of unfathomable joy to its residents. To my utter disbelief, it is so ironical that that the city known as the entertainment capital of the world is the least desirable city to live! Yes, there are so many reasons why…

           French art I vividly remember this crucial event that I attended at Washington, accompanied by a few friends of mine. Basically, the event involved learning about French art and it hosted all art students from premier schools worldwide. Also, all the art tutors had been asked to avail themselves. Significantly, I attended the event because it fell under my area of specialization and it had been made mandatory for everybody concerned to attend. Despite of the high air fare cost and long flight duration, I arrived safely, took a short break at the restaurant and thereafter stepped to the venue. No sooner did I arrive than the master of ceremony declared the meeting officially opened. Indeed, I was not that late as I suspected initially.  One of the USA famous art professors began the talk on the introduction to French art. I was very keen on his talk as he elaborated on the dreamy and dauby landscapes of the French impressionists and bolder. I was very overwhelmed about his emphasis on creative impressions of cave painting rendered at Lascaux…

How Art Evokes Different Emotions: Drawing Perspective from Plato, David Bell, and Karl Barth. 1.0 Introduction Various philosophical approaches have described art in different forms, and over the years, thoughtful contributions from diverse disciplines have converged to form an integrated whole. Plato used the desired unattainable beauty, which is beyond the form of body and face to describe how, when coupled with imitation and inspiration, gives a perfect kind of divine aesthetic. Karl Barth made an extensive contribution to the discipline of theology aesthetics. He explained how the church builds on new forms of aesthetics in the twentieth century to commission its work. David Bell, an influential contemporary art scholar, is bringing a unique perspective into art by advocating for aesthetic engagement. This is an approach of introducing aesthetics to an early childhood learning for both learning art comprehensively as well as developing advanced techniques of learning at an early age. I agree that art evokes emotions, and with aesthetics as an aspect of art, it goes beyond beauty to give inspiration, power, and religious influence. Understanding these emotions as…

Hisako Koyama Sunspots are hypothetically the most conspicuous features on the photosphere above the solar atmosphere. They have been argued to be the most significant players in solar and terrestrial interference. Notably, sunspots are dark spots that appear on the surface of the sun and which are cooler than other parts. These regions are results of magnetic bipolar magnetic loops that find their way onto the surface of the sun (Knipp et al., 1216). The occurrence of sunspots is variable and may happen for days or even months, presenting threats of flares and coronal mass ejections. The existence of sunspots, and their study thereof, can be traced to thousands of years ago. Writings of Chinese astronomers, dating back to 28 century BC acknowledge visual observation of the sun having ‘dark vapour’ at its centre.  However, despite the length of time over which they have been studied, sunspots have proven to be a particularly elusive thermal phenomenon, with knowledge about them evolving each day. This notwithstanding, the evolution of human consciousness on sunspots, cannot be isolated from the contributions of various…

Masks in the First Nations and Inuit Cultures First Nations material culture has become highly valued and has been recognized in the world of modern arts and culture. These views, however, often distract from current historical behavior towards the First peoples. The masks of the First Peoples are art pieces that are celebrated by the First peoples and Inuit cultures and are seen as powerful, incredible, and identity-making art. On the other hand, the art represents and shows the terrible travesties that were imposed on the First Peoples in Canada. These art act as reminders of the cultures of the First Nations and also as preservers of culture. They are reminders that these cultures still exist and that they are still being practiced in the 21st century. The masks are treated as art and are kept in the museums as artifacts used to preserve history and teach interested persons about the cultures of the communities associated with the masks. The art market highly values these pieces as they are used to dispel stereotypes associated with the people from these cultures…
