- 7631: Galileo And The Telescope
- Galileo was not the person who invented the telescope, but he was the first one to use the telescope to study the heavens. He made many observations using the telescope that shocked the religious world. In this short essay, I will only focus on three observations and how an Aristotlean reacts to it. These observations played a very important role on the development of astronomy. The first object he observed ... irregular and imperfect. He saw that the moon s surface had mountains and valleys. It also consists of many other irregular shapes. This was a very big contradiction to Aristotle s theory. To Aristotleans the world was the center of the universe and that it was perfect. This showed us the holes in the celestial realm. It is not perfect like people believed it to be. If the moon had all ... moon. It showed the Earth to be a little less celestial. The Earth can shine on another object like any regular object. It is not as special as initially thought to be. Aristotleans around the world did not want to accept these observations. They had an excuse to every single point. To disregard these new beliefs, they blamed it on the preciseness of the telescope. They used to say that ...
- 7632: Contemporary Chicano Literatur
- ... I write my final paper on. Whitman's "Oh Captain, My Captain" happens to be my favorite Whitman poem. I cried the first time I read it. I've read works by some of the world's finest authors: Mark Twain, William Shakespeare, Anne Rice, Stephen King, Hunter S. Thompson, Upton Sinclair, Alex Haley, etc. I suddenly realized that I have never read a work of fiction, or a play by ... In 1967 he separated form the UFWOC and El Teatro Campesino became an independent company (Hernandez 36). The playwright within Valdez emerged. He wrote the Root of a Scream, in 1967, which condemned the Vietnam War. Also in 1967 he wrote Los Vendidos. He wrote No saco nada de le escuela (year written I did not find). He wrote Bernabe, in 1970, a love story that takes place during the Mexican ...
- 7633: Analysis Of Beloved By Toni Mo
- ... for years. The topic of slavery continues to be a vital part of the American consciousness today, in addition, slavery as an institution was a part of American culture as a whole until the Civil War, and its repercussions on race relations are still being felt today. The genre of the survivor's tale is one way that contemporary authors can depict and discuss this formative American experience. ‘Beloved’ is the ... But it's not. Places, places are still there. If a house burns down, it's gone, but the picture of it-stays, and not just in my re-memory, but out there, in the world. What I remember is a picture floating around outside my head. I mean, even if I don't think it, even if I die, the picture of what I did, or knew, or saw is ...
- 7634: Progression Of Islamic Art
- ... the pertinent actions of the warriors remain visible. The figures of the scene, the warriors of Haital and Sufarai, immediately command the observer’s attention. The intense action does suit the themes of the painting: war, victory, death, and honor. However, the faces don’t reflect the intensity. Each face is exactly the same with high arched eyebrows that give everyone the look of unnatural surprise. Perhaps, the uniformity of the ... nothing more than an elaborate repetition of a faced motif. Furthermore, the similarity gives the sense that each warrior is not a particular man, nor is the fight a particular event, but both are universal; war and its consequences are experienced by every man. Though the painting may imply universal plight, the depiction represents a particular moment in time. Although violent, the miniature presents the moment of apprehension, the moment before ... for the result is written above in the text. Even the observer of the work knows following his or her reading. The warrior’s ignorance only makes the fated defeat and death more tragic. The war ends in a Sufarai victory and the national honor of pre-Islamic Iran is restored. Interestingly, Islamic history has nothing to do with the content of the story, yet its influence is apparent in ...
- 7635: Processed Art
- ... he was much more directly and effectively a supporter of the Nazi cause. Had his sculpture been ugly, ambiguous in meaning, poorly executed or less directly associated with Nazi militarism, the negative effects on the world of his sculpture would have been considerably lessened. In a certain sense, Breker uses his numerous "naked men with swords" to unite the notions of health, strength, competition, collective action and willingness to sacrifice the ... about the portrayal, but given the era in which it was created, themes like health, athletic prowess, collective action and competition are unmistakably intended to promulgate this view of German society and what kind of world the Nazis wanted to be thought of creating. It is unfortunate that today so many artists have not taken home the wrong lesson from such works. Of course the end toward which they agitated was ... they were. Many artists of that time, such as Pablo Picasso, were hidden from the public view, because their messages were not of athletic prowess or collective action. The Nazis controlled art and presented the world with an image they created for themselves, giving society a false image of who they really were.
- 7636: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
- ... animals (Lacey, 1995). Such knowledge for the pathogenesis of the BSE disease shows precisely the actions that must be taken in order to control and minimize the risk of infection in healthy cattle around the world (Darnton, 1996). The appearance of BSE has made a sizable impact throughout much of the world even though few countries, other than the United Kingdom, have experienced positive cases (Burton, 1996). The scare of an outbreak in other countries has led to a great disruption in the trade economy, as well ... domestic sales of meat and bone meal (Hager, 1996). In 1990, the Commission of the European Communities banned the importation, from the United Kingdom, of all live cattle born before July 1988. Panic throughout the world caused many countries to entirely ban the importation of all live cattle from the United Kingdom. Some even went as far as to ban the importation of milk and milk products (Hunter, 1993). BSE ...
- 7637: Mania Dictator Of Inability Ha
- ... Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew," (1.2.129-130) Here Hamlet is speaking of his own flesh and makes his first reference to suicide. He expresses great dissatisfaction with the state of the world. "How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable / Seem to me all uses of the world !" (1.2.133-134). These feelings of uselessness and depression are greatly due to his disapproval of and disgust with his mother's recent action. Shakespeare's Hamlet is built upon a foundation of hills ... inactivity and apathy .Hamlet never seemed to express much feeling to Ophelia and when he finally did say something he insults her and showers her with the rage he feels toward the state of his world. The actions that Hamlet performs mirror the patterns of a manic depressive almost exactly. Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder in which both mania and depression are present. In bipolar disorder periods of mania ...
- 7638: Popular Music Revolution
- ... to sociological movements at the time. Rock music evolved mostly out of a need by young people of the fifties to break away from so-cietal norms. America had just come out of the Korean War, and men looked to settle down into a peaceful life. Also just prior this time period, Senator Joseph McCarthy ac-tively encouraged citizens to conform with his infamously false accusations of Commu-nism. “McCarthy spectacularly ... To Freedom, being “Date Rape” and “Smoke Two Joints.” The lyrics reflect the tendency of youth to rebel against laws and authority. “I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war/ I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints/and then I smoke two more.” This is an ob-vious attempt to aggravate the attitudes of parents, and although added vulgarities and drug references do ... as closely as other offshoots, but they are obviously influ-enced somewhat by the vitality that a rock or folk lyric exudes. To get enough protest from teens to start a music revolution, another major war must be fought. Conscription must be reinstituted in the United States. Deaths of friends and family is usually enough to anger the population. Another factor that must be present is an overwhelming feeling of ...
- 7639: Fossil Fuel Consumption, CO2 and Its Impact on Global Climate
- ... societies into the energy-intensive economies of today. Since the eighteenth century the industrialising countries have come to rely on non-renewable energy resources, and at present about 80 per cent (Myers, 1994) of the world's commercial energy is derived from oil, coal and gas. Although it has been observed that the growth of energy consumption is closely correlated with the increases in gross national product thus our economic development ... a value of 600 ppm. It has been estimated that the pre-industrial level of carbon dioxide have been as low as 260-70 ppm by volume (Goudie, 1994). Thus, it appears that the industrial world is increasing the atmospheric CO2 contents by an appreciable amount. It is arguable that the increase in CO2 concentration may not be induced by fossil fuel consumption since the carbon cycle is always operating, it ... R. A., Energy and Problems of a Technical Society, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 394-400. Myers, N., 1994, The Gaia Atlas of Planet Management, London: Gaia Books Limited, 96-113. Tolba, M.

- 7640: Pop Art 2
- ... of the critic might play a role in the appraisal (Duncan 87). Older generations born before the 1960s remember the exuberant optimism that lay at the core of Pop, superficial, maybe, but promising a fresh world of demotic feeling (Bann, 121). In the 1960s, the shock of Pop, the excitement of happenings, and the cool of minimalism, provided an emergence of a new attitude. According to Jahn, "happenings directly challenged viewers ... and of conformity to conventions" (66). Pop, like so many other styles of art, raised questions of meaning: Was it art? What was the message? Was it the celebration or parody of the mass-consumer world? Happenings and Pop Art evoked strong emotional response during this era. Artworks in this style challenged social conventions and offered models for new ways to relate to our culture and to one another (Gablic, 20 ... pictures. Furthermore, Pop Art can be seen in conjunction with any other realism in the history of art whose aim was to give a routine, harmonious appearance to the contradictions and absurdities of the material world ("A Retrospective", 1). In conclusion, while many see it as superficial and trivial, Pop Art is still deserving of its' place in art history.
