Privileges refer to benefits, immunity, or a right enjoyed only a person or a particular group of people. White privilege encompasses unearned power that has been systematically conferred to whites over the years (Rothenberg, 2011). What other people, consider as privileges, some whites consider being normal daily experience conditions that are available to all people. Some of the earned entitlements include free speech, feeling safe in places that are considered public spaces, being valued for the contributions one can make in the society and being able work in places that enable them to fulfill their potential.

Analysis of Guido’s Methods: Solutions and Importance

Analysis of Guido’s Methods: Solutions and Importance

Guido was born towards the end of the 10th century in Italy, and learnt in the Benedictine Abbey near Ferrara. As a music teacher, one of the problems he experienced with his students was the fact that they were unable to sing by themselves despite singing for many years since they had not mastered even a single antiphon, which was generally a waste of time. The solution for this as suggested by Guido would be not to provide antiphons that lacked neumes (Taruskin & Gibbs 2012, Pg. 212). Another problem faced was ...

Historical research has demonstrated that "race" has dependably conveyed a bigger number of implications than negligible physical contrasts; without a doubt, physical varieties in the human species have no importance aside from the social ones that people put on them. Today researchers in many fields contend that "race" as it is comprehended in the United States of America was a social instrument created amid the eighteenth century to allude to those populaces united in frontier America: the English and other European pioneers, the vanquished Indian people groups, and those people groups of Africa acquired to give slave work. With ...

Michael WIlliams

DAD.PSD, 2016 Edition of unique lithographs (monoprints) on grey Rives BFK paper 21 7/8 x 29 in.

Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Description: Michael Williams’ lithographs are actually monoprints, which means that they are printed from a design created digitally, but from looking at this ‘design’ it is not clear that it is only a print. Thought the print seem the same texture as the paper, it looks like a painting with the help of markers, for example, water based markers that create a similar effect. Because of this and the colors used, the painting reminds the viewer child’s artwork. What at first ...

Introduction

The Civil Right Restoration Act of 1987, also known as Groove City Bill, is a US bill, which dealt with governing of the federal money in the institutions in order to guarantee the execution of civil rights (Safransky, 2017). Its main task was to bring non-discrimination laws back into action. On February 1987, Senator Kennedy introduced the ‘Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987’ (Lewis & Dale, 1988). The act was one of the most important legislative documents at that time. Its significance can be compared to the 1972 Amendments. The Act deals with three federal laws. They are the Title ...

The environment is one of the crucial components that enhances sustainable development. It is worth noting that environmental crimes are viewed to be less important compared to traditional crimes. Law enforcement agencies tend to ignore environmental crimes in society. Environmental crimes are threats to food security, economic development, health, and sustainability. Environmental crimes include unregulated fishing, illicit trade of hazardous waste, smuggling of ODS (ozone-depleting substances), illegal logging, wild animal traffic, electronic waste management, as wee as dumping in rivers. Analytically, environmental crimes are sensitive and dangerous to the living things. Militant groups and criminal gangs profit from some ...

While the concept of race is today clearly recognized as fictitious, the term itself has taken an altogether new reality as a cultural denotation. More specifically, the culture of racism is largely influenced by geopolitical imagination and socio-political antagonism. The new political order referred to as “Empire” is a social frame work that posits “the inferiority of an “Other” based not in biology but in cultural differences and their insurmountability” (Semati, 257). Semati argues that ‘Brown’, once signified exoticism, but refers to menacing ‘Other’ today. The Brown in this case (in Semati’s article) refers to the Muslims of ...

(a) In his article “African American Self-Reliance in a Post-racial America,” Marcus Coleman discussed whether or not the pundits claim that the election of Barrack Obama as the first African American President, has marked the beginning of a post-racial America were the racial and ethical agonies, such as slavery and Jim Crow, have forever been put behind us and that forever more we would exist as a society that values, believes in, and supports multi-culturalism and multi-racism. While Coleman, agrees that Obama’s election was indeed groundbreaking on many levels, especially, for him as a fellow African American. But, ...

Introduction The mediums are the means, by which communication entity transmits a message to the target audience. They include personal communication, external information, and public events. Medium can be direct and indirect, formal and informal, personal and not personal. Private mediums are the most effective, because they ensure the interaction of several people in the process of communication, both directly and by phone, over Internet, correspondence, etc. Depending on the situation, different style of message can be applied (Blundel and Ippolito, 2008).

Theater is thought to have started in the 6th century BC in Athens, as a form of classical entertainment (Goldhill 54). At this time, it was predominantly for entertainment, and also to create a catalogue of historical events, or depiction of mythology. This evolved into plays that were categorized as tragedy, comedy and drama, each in forms that we would readily recognize today, were all born out of that early tradition. However, over time, different countries adapted the western art form, to create formulas that more directly address their social concerns, or meet the social need for expression. In ...

Introduction

The most severe discriminations and oppressions of all times had been based on race and gender. Women and people of color had been subjects to this mistreatment because of their gender and races respectively. Societies have always tolerated the exploitation of women by men. Women have being viewed as the weak creature within the society for a long time with consequential oppression (Glenn 5). On the other hand, the people of color have been viewed by the white people as being the primitive races. This has made them be poorly regarded, and to some extent heavily exploited and discriminated ( ...

Artist: Alfons Maria Mucha

Movement: Art Nouveau Art Nouveau is an art movement from western Europe, which also became popular in the United States in 1880s and was one of the major trends until the First World War. Art Nouveau, which means New Art in French, is a modern art form, but it was inspired by natural world, forms and details of nature. Art Nouveau is often called ‘total’ art style, because it influenced all of the types of art, like architecture, interior design, graphic art and, of course, fashion, clothes, textiles, jewelry and so on (Gontar). Alphonse Mucha is a czech artist, ...

Effect of climate Change on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR)

Rising sea temperatures: Empirical evidence shows that the rising temperatures caused by climatic changes have a ripple impact on the GBR due to the interdependence between algae found on the coral reef tissue and sea animals that feed on it (GBR Marine Park Authority, 2011). More importantly, rising temperatures stress coral reefs because they are highly responsive to fluctuating temperatures; in particular, if sea temperatures remain higher than usual overtime due to climate change, algae that depend on corals for food may escape the tissue. The effect of algae leaving the tissue is manifested when the corals change color ...

For a long time, art and culture of the peoples of Africa remained a mystery to the rest of the world. The study of culture and art of the peoples of the African continent has discovered their unique traditions and way of life. Masks and weapons make the basis of their culture. These so-called artifacts are present in every village and every African city. It is impossible to imagine Africa without masks; they reflect the uniqueness and originality of the local customs and beliefs. Unfortunately, African wooden sculpture is poorly preserved in the hot and humid climate. That is ...

The trade deals between Japan and Europe facilitated the entrance of Japanese prints, the ukiyo-e, in the Western world. In 1849 the first Japanese prints, belonging to Hokusai entered the West, sometime after the death of the Japanese artist. Nevertheless, the first recognizance of the Japanese influence in French art was marked by the Exposition Universelle from 1867, hosted at Champs de Mars, in Paris. Although Hokusai’s art was not much appreciated in Japan, where other, more elevated painting styles were preferred, the artist’s work found appreciation in French art, where it has become influential for reputable ...

While taking a closer look at Buck’s (2007) and Davis’s (1983) articles, I concluded the main theme in both papers to be how women of colour not only face sexism but also racism in western cultures, specifically the U.S. These articles address the development of the women’s movement in America and show how sex is always placed ahead of, and to the exclusion of, race when it comes to feminism. Both writers take the stance that women of colour never had a chance to be a viable part of the fight for women’s rights as ...

Video in Opera Stage

Introduction Advances in technology and the corresponding creation of digital technologies have significantly impacted the performing arts (Poole & Ho, 2011). Opera has not escaped the technological advancements and as such, new forms of opera have emerged in both digital and virtual formats (Symonds & Karantonis, 2013). Salter (2010) explains that since the 1990s, the scenography of opera has emerged with technological advancements transforming stages into video and monitor accompaniments. The obvious payoff is an enhanced experiential, virtual reality of the opera’s stage. The new technologies blur the lines between the opera’s stage and the motion picture common in ...

The story “How to Date a Brown Girl” is told as pointers for African men, or black men. The story tells the expectations coming from a white, or half-white woman when she dates an African guy. Nevertheless, the story, in general, is about trying to win a woman, despite the differences in color and race (Diaz 1-3). The story speaks about the truth of the current society. It may be coming from the author’s experience or not, but the feeling of negativity can be seen in every part of the story. It is as if the author is ...

(Student’s Full Name)

Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences. Experts argue that this may be the case because children’s brains are wired differently compared to when they grow up as adults. When children grow up, their brain physiology and chemistry change so as to accommodate other sections of the brain that are necessary for adulthood. Consequently, individual loses her child-like wonder when experiencing ordinary events as an adult. Therefore, childhood is a time when the brain focuses on allowing the child to develop by ...

Part 2. Recent and historical images of Mars

Historical Image of Mars. Website reference: http://www.fourthplanet.space/tag/christiaan-huygens/

Image info: Christiaan Huygens’ observational drawing of Mars shows a triangular feature which known today as Syrtis Major.

Telescope used: Huygens used a telescope created by himself (1655). It was a good 2-inch (5.1-cm) telescope of 10.5-foot (3.2-m) focal length and 50x magnification. (Sheehan)

Observer: Christiaan Huygens

Exposure time: Observations were taken over a number of weeks. Other relevant details: Huygens used results of his observations of Mars to measure Mars’ rotational period. He measured it as 24 hours (only one hour away from the rotational period of the planet recognized today). It should be noted that the most prominent and largest crater of the Mars was named after Huygens (14.0°S, 304.4° ...

Abstract

The aim of the experiment is to plot the calibration curve for deteremination of antigen 4D5 by performing ELISA experiment. The primary antibody was blocked by bovine serum albumin, then it reacted with IgG (secondary antibody). Then, the system was washed with carbonate, blocking and substrate buffers. Three replicate experiments were performed, and the experiment was performed with the serial dilutions. By measuring the optical density of the diluted solutions, the calibration line was obtained and the region with the linear dependence “concentration – optical density” was determined. The callibaraion line can be used for the practical tasks: for detecting ...

René Magritte's oil on canvas painting The Son of Man (1964) has become a very popular visual text in a short period of time. The symbolism and unusual and enigmatic create a holistic picture of the semantic code that every viewer tries to interpret. Although the canvas contains a fairly small number of different details, as contrasted with Bosch or Rubens' paintings, yet there is a deep consisting of several layers meaning in it. The painting contains a number of visual symbols, which have already become some kind of the archetypes of modern society. The Son of Man (see ...

Introduction Cirrhosis is caused by liver injury that results in fibrogenesis and inflammation. These problems result in collapse of liver structures and significant distortion of hepatic vascular structure. This distortion leads to elevated resistance to portal blood flow as well as portal hypertension. Moreover, hepatic synthetic dysfunction is also caused as a result of these problems. Clinically, liver cirrhosis is considered as an end-stage disease that could result in death until liver transplantation is performed (Tsochatzis, Bosch, & Burroughs, 2014). Liver cirrhosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in most of the developed countries. In ...

This essay looks at my heritage and how I define myself by race through skin colour, family history, the advantages of privilege and the disadvantages of race. Finally, I look at what life or historical events have influenced my identity and what written works I have read in order to learn more about where I come from. When I was a child I did not know that my skin was the wrong colour. Being loved and sheltered as a child hides you from the nastiness of the world until you have to go out into it. My parents were ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

The visual perception i.e. size/shape in the L’Oreal Men Expert Vita Lift 5 ad is rectangle with the focus on more than one dimension to enable consumers to downsize their order by enlarging the product along all dimensions. On the other hand, the shape of the Aveeno Absolutely Ageless ad is portrait. The size of the ad is adjusted through focus on multiple dimensions to perceive the product easily. Lettering is another factor affects the perception of ...

I strongly support the views expressed by Zhou in the article. It is often said that America is a land of liberty, equality and opportunity. The gifted people get what they deserve. Asian Americans have proved their ability and they have been credited for one of the major drivers of American economy. They are called “Model Minority”. The previous generations of Asian Americans came to this land to shape their future and the future of their next generations. They got liberty and opportunities to prosper as elite Americans. It clearly indicates that America is a land of liberty and ...

Although the times of oppression related to gender, class, and race seem to have gone by, the issues of discrimination still matter in our country even nowadays when people finally seem to understand that diversity should be celebrated. According to Andersen and Collins, attitudes toward gender, class, and race are the foundation of our society and it is impossible to understand its structure, nor organization without taking into account this triad (Andersen & Collins, 2). This paper focuses on three issues related to how the subject should be dealt with in the modern context: intersection, or overlapping of different ingredients ...

Advertising has for ages used women and more female celebrities to drive their sales, a strategy that has evolved over the ages but holds the primary concept. This strategy stands to date by exploiting many flaws that young women exhibit and capitalizing on them by creating the illusion that if they by the subject’s products they some way parallel the success of the personnel used by the marketer. A recent case suiting this context is the Vanity Fair Holly Wood 2016 magazine cover. The magazine’s cover featured a trifold cover image that was shot by Annie Leibovitz ...

It stands right there when the door moves out of the way, silently reciting stories of all of the glory and every hour spent building it from sheer metal and cloth. The gentle curves of the car say all there is to say for her, and just like that, the hand rests on the bonnet. Every bend in its metal and every contour stands out yet it feels like it was built to be the part of the car all along. It is silver, and the color itself has never given more class to any other object in the ...

Neurodegenerative Disorder

Introduction Neurodegenerative disorders refer to debilitating health care complications that occur because of slow degeneration of nerves cells. Neurodegeneration process is the progressive deterioration of structure and functionality of neurons in human body systems (Kovacs, 2016, 189). Ideally, neurodegenerative disorders represent the long-standing challenges in the field of basic science and clinical medicine. This is because of the persistence showed by the illnesses despite the unending attempts to adopt solutions to mitigate their health effects and severity on patients. The diseases affect the neurons in the human brain. As a result, it causes instabilities in the brain and spinal ...

Digital image analysis is a method of extraction of useful information from digital images by using various digital image processing techniques. A digital image is a two-dimensional matrix that consists of great number of smallest addressable elements – pixels. Each pixel has its own digital characteristics, such as address and color representation. Digital image characteristics have two main measures: spatial resolution that is focused on capturing details and tonal resolution that is used to measure color, dynamic range and bit-depth. Higher tonal, spatial, and color values mean larger sizes of digital image file. (Peterson, 2005, pp. 1-2) The appropriate method ...

Institutional Racism towards Black Americans

Racism, as several experts describe, has been a way of life, for quite some time in the United States (Nesbit). The rise of the pre-colonial era, and immigrations, slavery and the way people drifted towards different shores in search of power can all be accounted to the present day situation that we face in America. While slavery and apartheid ended long before, what is left over is our own complicated melee of whites, blacks, and Asians, and many more races, in a mixed colorful bouquet, and yet, creating a lot of confusion in the minds of both people and ...

Background

Successful modern business marketing lays emphasis on meeting the needs of the customers. This focus is a departure in the opposite direction from the traditional business whose major concern was selling its products or services. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one way of meeting not only the direct customers’ desires but also the needs and expectations of all the stakeholders of a business (Ortenblad 2016). Unethical profiteering practices of large companies and customer awareness due to free flow of information have forced many companies to make CSR a key strategic focus in their conduct of business. Besides enabling a ...

Central to the views of Maria Stewart in her 1832 speech titled “Why Sit Ye Here and Die?” and those of Henry Highland Garnet as portrayed in his 1843 “An Address to the Slaves of the United States,” was the assertion that persons of African descent had to fight for their freedom. According to Stewart, any efforts made by “the advocates of freedom” stood a chance to be as in vain as the death of Christ for those who refused the “offered mercy” unless the free people of color made “some mighty efforts” to rescue their counterparts from slavery ( ...

There are three major types of gallstones classified as pure, mixed and combined depending on the composition of the three essential components which are calcium carbonate, bile pigment, and cholesterol. Firstly, the pure class has another set of categories designated as purely cholesterol, pigment or calcium carbonate stones. The pure cholesterol stones are large, oval and mostly radiolucent. Some stones deposit in the macrophages found in the mucosa of the gallbladder resulting in high cholesterol levels. Secondly, mixed gallstones are the most prevalent of the three broad categories, with a prevalence of 80% of all the cases of gallstones. ...

It is said that great character comes from the inside of a person and not the outside; that good people can be found in any race, color, gender and creed. Such is true in the case of Amanda Smith, a pioneer in evangelism and servitude during the late 19th century. Smith’s genuine character proved that goodness could transcend color, gender and tragic experience. Amanda Smith was born into slavery on January 23, 1837 in a rural town in Maryland. She spent the majority of the adolescent and adult years, however, in York, Pennsylvania, joining the family there after ...

An acid is a solution that loses hydrogen ions. Common household acids include vinegar and citrus fruit juice. In contrast, a base is a solution that gains hydrogen ions. Acidic substances often taste sour whereas bases taste bitter and feel slippery. Since the tasting or touching of acids and bases can be harmful to human health, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, 2013) recommends the use of indicators to test for the acidity or alkalinity of substances. Typically, indicators such as litmus paper change color when exposed to acids or bases (Stanley et al., 2015). As such, the present ...

My earliest childhood memories are mostly devoid of color, except for one. Pink. That was what I was surrounded with as a child. That was the color of my first notebook, my schoolbag, and my pencil case. The color pink was something that was to determine the course of my life to come. A part of this present notion dates back to antiquity, men have been called hunters and women have been assigned the role of homemakers. Apparently, Walt Disney seems to agree to it. Father's hunting in the forest, mother's cooking in the home is a rhyming tune ...
