The Impact of Racism on Fashion Industry- Is Gucci’s half-veiled Sweater Unveiled the Reality of Sugar-Coated Solidarity- Democracy or Hypocrisy Introduction We are the lovers of beauty, and for this reason, we have some standards to measure the good looks. The biased approach drags us to think about the thin white model or a tall and white man as a beauty symbol. Though the world has diverse colors, race, caste, and creed, still white are a symbol of beauty, and black is considered a substandard race, which is lagged, not only in the fashion industry but in all fields of life. The history of fashion is evident that black people are misrepresented, stereotyped, and marginalized, and their own identity is still surrounded by many controversies (Abate, 2019). Many times, we heard the word “Blacklash,” but now it is not affecting our thoughts and perceptions as we are used to hearing these sorts of things. The term is turned to the latest trending fashion, which is used for marketing purposes, to get more attention as this is the most controversial way…
the Present Laughter by Noël Coward Nearly 2500 years, theater was how drama was shown to spectators. However, in the twentieth century, theater has experienced a series of trials because of the evolving motion pictures that have always threatened to replace it. However, despite these problems, there has been a considerable variety of theater activity in Broadway theatres in the United States. For example, the Present Laughter by Noël Coward has been produced six times on Broadway, starting with the initial production in 1942. The current rebirth is by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, which stars Kevin Kline in the main character of Garry Essendine. What makes the recent production unique from the previous productions is the excellent performance by the actors, the overall setting of the production (lighting, sound, costumes designs), and the explicit representation of the themes of the play. Even Moritz’s production cannot match the exceptional characteristics of the original piece by Coward; his play is filled with comedy that anyone can hope for. The actors convey a brilliant performance that portrays the life Garry has attempted to set…
The Japanese Yakuza Organised Crime Syndicate Introduction Defining the concept of organised crime has proven continuously difficult because of the differences in approach by different countries and even persons regarding the issue. However, there has been a need for an indisputable, universal definition of organised crime due to the fact that this crime has taken a cross-border shape and would need cooperation among different countries (Holmes, L. 2016). Therefore, the major characteristic of the term “organised crime” is that it refers to a method or process of committing crime lacking a particular nature of crime in itself nor even a specific criminal type. Thus, a good definition should involve primary aspects of the “process” in that certain criminals increasingly perform criminal activities over the transnational area. Organised crime is a serious crime coordinated, planned, and conducted by people who are continuously working together with the aim of financial gain (HM Government, 2013). In the United States, the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 states that “Organised crime means the unlawful activities of members of a highly organised,…
JFK Assassination On 21st November 1963, President John F Kennedy, together with his wife Jackie Kennedy, embarked on a two-day five-city fundraising tour to the state of Texas. The tour was also supposed to be an attempt to unite a broken Democratic Party within a state that was critical to JFK’s reelection chances in the upcoming 1964 elections. The President was thus warmly received at his initial two stops, Houston and San-Antonio, as well as Fort Worth, where the Presidential delegation spent the night of 21st November. The following day in the morning, after making a speech in the hotel’s parking space, Kennedy took a brief flight to the Dallas Love Field Airport. At the Dallas Airport, JFK and the Jackie shook hands with some of the members of the hospitable crowd before taking the seat at a customized open convertible vehicle. They shared a ride with the Democratic Texas governor at the time John Connally together with his wife to the Trade Mart, which was the next scheduled stop. At the Trade Mart, Kennedy was expected to deliver yet…
African American military history During world war1, a large part of Africa was affected either directly or indirectly. France were leaders in the use of African soldiers in the theatres of war. The North African solders had initially served various wars, including; Italian war (1859), Crimean war 1854/1856, and the German- France war of 1870. The experience in these wars raised their profile and hence increased their use in subsequent battles. Contrary, African American military history can be traced back to the arrival of slaves in the United States. They have continued to serve in the Army till the present day. They fought in every war within the country, including the Civil War, the American-Mexican war, and the American-Spanish war. A significant distinguishing factor between the experience of colonial soldiers from West Africa and the African American Soldiers in the US army is their mode of recruitment. Most of the West African soldiers in the French Army were forced into service by their masters. Adolphe Messimy, a radical politician, signed a petition extension in 1905 that allowed forced recruitment to…
