I am like my brother in some ways and different in other ways. It is a natural phenomenon. No two persons can be alike albeit twins. This is the very beauty of nature that no two individuals share the exactly same characteristics. The very evidence of it is that finger prints of each and every person on the earth are different. However, it does not nullify the presence of resemblance between two or more individuals. Resemblance is basically based on genetics and sociological environment of persons which create their behaviour. Thus, it can be safely said that besides that ...

Politics is a very diverse and at the same time, ancient topic that can date back to as early as the era of the Roman Empire. Members of the senate of Rome used to say that they are the voice of the people and that they would only impose laws and ordinances that will either help or be liked by the people. After those senators became elected, surely, some, or even most, of such promises were not fulfilled. Instead, oppressive laws and those were not really meant to help the people but rather to strengthen the politicians influence, rooting, and ...

The exhibition that requires our attention is the one at the Sculpture Center named is In Practice: Fantasy Can Invent Nothing New. Considering the somewhat large name and the game of words in it one would expect to find something exceptional despite the negation at the end of the name. However, this is turns out to be a reference to a lecture made by Freud, where he states that the creative process only facilitates the regrouping of already existing elements into a new perception.
Despite the high level of expectation this exhibition did not deliver. Most importantly as it ...

The best recipe for a dish to be delicious is preparing it with love – Tita, the heroine of “Like Water for Chocolate” by Laura Esquivel, is sure. That is certainly the formula Esquivel resorts to creating her novel, where love is a key ingredient, and the food for thought produced by the book is savory, hot and rich. “Tita remembered that Nacha had always said that when people argue while preparing tamales, the tamales won’t get cooked. They can be heated day after day and still stay raw, because the tamales are angry. In a case like that, ...

Ai Weiwei and Zhang Xiaogang are Chinese contemporary artists. While both are leading conceptual artists in the country, they seek to evoke different messages using their art work. Ai Weiwei’s art is motivated by the need to inspire freedom and the expansion of individual space away from government and society. It is therefore the case that Ai Weiwei by virtue of eliciting such emotions practiced artistic activism. On the other hand, Zhang Xiaogang is respected in his own right. His art more or less seeks to evoke memories which he says serve as his greatest inspiration. He especially ...

There are lots of literary genres involving and speculating about all possible and impossible things and every person that wants to read something new, entertaining or educating will find his or her book suiting his/her needs, interest, gender or age.

Usually this literature is associated with naïve, simply structured stories that contain primitive battle of ...

The basic Hobbesian idea in favour of the establishment of monocratic states is that the basic nature of human beings is to be self-serving and hence, a much more powerful external force (that is, more powerful than itself) would be needed to force individuals to form societies. However even at the surface level, this argument does not seem complete. The idea that humans are essentially self-centred does hold some water in that many modern sociological and psychological studies have shown as much. But this is not all – there is more at work here because if the formation of human ...

Scriptural Interpretation Essay

The main goal of these two articles is to identify whether there was any Egyptian influence on the Greek archaic kouroi. Both authors use the comprehensive study of the proportions of the archaic kouroi. In fact, Guralnick states that there is a clear evidence that Egyptians influenced archaic kouroi sculptors (Guralnick, 1978). It was found that most of the kouroi had an Egyptian canon span, which makes it clear that Greek sculptors must have been influenced by Egyptian sculptures. Additionally, after thorough researchers, it was concluded that the Greek sculptors were both innovators and professional copyists. Apparently, some of ...
