The Berlin Conference, or the West African Conference, took place between November 15, 1884, and February 26, 1885, and sought to settle skirmishes that erupted among the European nations that desired territories in Africa. Central to the calls for the Conference was Otto Bismarck of Germany and the French government. By 1884, three European powers boasted of control over a portion of the Africa Continent: the British, French, and the Portuguese. However, with the Conference and the ensuing endorsement of the “General Act,” tides changed as the colonization of Africa gained momentum (Craven, 2015, p.38). Before the Berlin Conference, ...

He is one of the main figures in the art world in the first half of the twentieth century.

Part I:

I think that many of the characters in The Secret Garden could be considered good role models. However, this is not until the garden changes their lives for the better.

Mary Lennox, though she is an incredibly selfish and self-absorbed character in the beginning, seems to take a dramatic change in her behavior as she gets to ...

Introduction

Most of the people go the cinema really often. They drive theirs cars to the desired movie theatres, maybe stand in the line to get tickets, head to the bar, and then finally find themselves in comfortable seats, waiting to be immersed by another story. Yet, I bet few of them know of numerous detailed and complex patterns which lie behind that immersion – and who exactly executes them. Essentially, these patterns sprout from the director’s vision of the film, production designer’s creative contribution to it, and are supported by the work of the art director. These elements ...

Introduction

The film industry considers the horror genre in cinema, especially in Hollywood, as a staple because it draws a sizeable audience that consequently makes horror movies highly profitable (Hantke, 2010, p. viii). At least, this was the case during the 19th and 20th centuries since the state of the horror genre has changed over time. At present time, filmmakers would confess that horror films today are not as profitable as they were in the past. According to Hantke (2010, p. viii), we can attribute the so-called slump in the horror genre, especially in Hollywood, to its decline as a result of the ...

This interest in values and standards led to a fascination with the idea of perfection – mathematics and geometry were studied almost religiously. As a result, the philosophy of humanism expanded ...
