- 7931: How Sociological Factors Affec
- A French philosopher and writer, Pierre Bourdieu ( Bourdieu et al.1990) claims that sociological factors such as education, family background, cultural development of an individual as well as one’s belonging to a specific social class, plays a vital part in interpretation and participation in the Arts. In order to evaluate this argument and make any logical conclusions, it must therefore be examined through evidence which in this case will be referring to an Australian artist, Robert Klippel. “Every artist’s career has a ‘shape’ or a development which tends to be greatly affected by sociological factors which influence the life of that artist”.(Hughes 1964: 2). Robert Klippel’s career ‘shape’ was also a subject to formation which was promoted by factors such as education, family upbringing and background as well as the outer and inner environments which affected the life development of ...
- 7932: Reasons For The Fall Of Socialism/Communism In Russia
- Reasons For The Fall Of Socialism/Communism In Russia 1925-1953 The two apparent heirs to Lenin's regime were Josef Stalin and Leon Trotsky. Although Trotsky was better suited for the position (with his strong political inclinations towards reasonable social adaptability), Josef Stalin assumed controlled and subsequently ordered the exile of all ... or murdered. He now had full control without any intervention from other liberal or moderate parties. He decided to concentrate on improving military strength and building on improving the Soviet economy, rather than follow Lenin's revolutionary goal of dominating the world. In order to obtain the immense amount of money needed to maintain his militia, he began a series of five year programs which would force the average farmer to meet a quota by the end of the harvest and then have the state subsidize all of the production. This system, aptly named collectivization, reprimanded all of the average worker's liberties and created great suffering during the Stalin regime. Such suffering was magnified during an anti-war treaty that Stalin had signed with Hitler's Germany in an effort to avoid a confrontation with ...

- 7934: Iwo Jima
- ... was a small island that was controlled by Japan. Iwo Jima is only about 4 miles long and half that in width. (John Man 116)But the Island was very strategically important for the U.S. to attack Japan. On February 19th 1945 a massive fleet of U.S. ships gathered off the coast of Iwo Jima. The ships unloaded a total of 30,000 U.S. soldiers. The first to reach the shore were 8,000 marines from the 4th and 5th marine divisions. (Encarta 1) The deployment was led by, Major General, Harry Schmidt. The 3rd marine division encountered ...
- 7935: The Dead: Summary
- The Dead: Summary In 1987 director John Huston brought “The Dead” to life. His interpretation of James Joyce’s short story could be verbatim to the text aside from a few added lines and scenes. This reproduction of the story must have been difficult considering the complicated symbolism and silent reflections. “The Dead,” like all the other short stories of Joyce’s Dubliners reveals an epiphany. The epiphany in “The Dead” is ironically an awakening to life, a new way of life, and a new outlook on life. This, being Huston’s final film before his death, must have been an epiphany for himself, thus making his film even more meaningful. Set in January 1904, in Dublin, the story opens at the home of the Morkans ...

- 7938: Harry S. Truman
- Harry S. Truman Most Americans in the 1950s did not expect that Harry Truman would become one of their most highly regarded presidents. By 1952, just before he announced his decision not to run again, only 25% of the people thought he was doing a good job. Within a decade, however, most American historians regarded him as one of the nation's greatest presidents. Obviously, Truman was not so effective in domestic affairs as his predecessor, Franklin Roosevelt, had been in the 1930's. Truman's record in foreign affairs, while also flawed, was more significant. He effectively developed a larger role for the nation in world affairs than it had played before World War II. Truman’s ...
- 7939: The Social Status of the London Surgeon, 1350-1450
- The Social Status of the London Surgeon, 1350-1450 Many critics' familiarity with the medieval medical community comes from Chaucer's characterization of the Doctor of Physic: "In al this world ne was there noon hym lik, / To speke of phisik and of surgerye."1 But what few critics fail to realize is that there is an important difference between the Doctor's ability to speak of surgery and his ability to perform.2 In the 33 lines used to characterize the doctor, Chaucer never mentions a surgical procedure. This seems to indicate that doctors might not perform surgical operations. In fact, medieval medical and surgical manuals often demonstrate ideological differences between the two different roles doctor and surgeon.3 This conflict of ideologies informs the tensions behind Chaucer's portrait of the Physician. During the late Middle Ages, doctors were believed to be a repository of medical knowledge, thus their profession was seen as learned. The surgeon, on the other hand, was considered ...
- 7940: Young Goodman Brown's Apocalypse
- Young Goodman Brown's Apocalypse Most criticism and reflection of Nathaniel Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown centers on a good versus evil theme. Critics also debate interpretations of the main character's consciousness; is Brown awake or dreaming. What is certain is that he lives and dies in pain because his belief in his righteousness isolates him from his community. It is also certain that Hawthorne' ...
