Mariam Beerman: Collages 1965-2008 After a virtual tour of the Queens-borough Community College City University of New York art gallery (QCC), I choose to write about Mariam Beerman collages that are in the PowerPoint document attached. The QCC art gallery is an essential and educational and cultural resource. I love the artwork of Mariam Beerman because, in most of her paintings, she works to present brutality and political occurrences of our lifetime in a bid to point out the world’s injustice and bring them to an end (Beerman, 2020). What is more, the artist uses beauty and vigor, which inspires various painters all over the globe. In the long run, the combination of passion, emotional struggle, and creativity makes the works of Miriam a masterpiece. In all the artworks of Miriam, there are living creatures, such as human beings or animals. And this is one factor that made me love the paintings since they bring out an inner perception to present the future and the past effectively. From one of the paintings, Miriam paints one of the ten plagues stories…

There are four dimensions of conflict of interest, and they include: Overt bribes and kickbacks-Overt bribes refer to the receiving or giving of anything valuable to influence the behaviour, actions and attitudes of another person in a corrupt manner. Kickback is a form of bribe incrementally paid by the contractor in the process of being paid.

Comparison of Two Sonnets William Shakespeare’s Sonnets are a collection of poems that talk about different aspects of human nature and relationship. The following paper will correctly compare and contrast sonnet LXIX and sonnet 18. Both sonnets are premised love that is written by the use of metaphoric language and a lot of sensory imagery to convey the viewpoints of Shakespeare. During Shakespeare’s time, metaphoric love poems were so common. In the two poems, it is apparent that Shakespeare describes the beauty of his lovers by likening them to the beauty of nature. He exaggerates his metaphors by ironically comparing the beauty of these lovers to the value of nature. For instance, in LXIX, Shakespeare mentions that without the light his lover carries in her hand, others would not be able to see. Shakespeare, in Sonnet 18, uses the metaphor of the season to describe the everlasting beauty of his lover. He mentions in the poem that though the days of summer will eventually come to an end, the beauty of his lover shall remain. At the same time in…

Latinos, these are Latin individuals with American decency. Deportation of Latinos has become a very alarming issue in the United States of America.
