Introduction There is no limit to what human intellect can achieve. This mindset is particularly evident during the Renaissance; a period in European history wherein there was a significant ‘rebirth’ or revival of classical work. Scholars believe that the Renaissance started sometime in the 13th century and ended at the onset of the postmodern era in the late 16th century. During this period, Europeans became increasingly interested in the arts, architecture and science of ancient Greek and Rome. The significance of the Renaissance is that it ended the long period of cultural darkness that characterized the Middle ...

The social control theory holds that certain factors within one's surroundings regulate normal behaviour and one’s perception of the society. In the case of Ed Gein, his mother was responsible for controlling his environment, and the unhealthy relationship between these two individuals is arguably the cause of the former’s criminal behaviour. Right from his childhood, Ed was isolated from his peers and the general public, spending most of his time with his older brother, Henry, and his obsessive, authoritarian mother (Vertlieb 13). Their mother, Augusta, was a religious fanatic, who took pleasure in instilling into her boys ...

This research outlines the instructional methods and the instruction aids, used in the learning process while at the same ...

Medical students find it essential to learn human anatomy, which deals with anatomical structures of the human body, including organs, cells, tissues, and organ systems. Anatomy relates to physiology, the branch of science dealing with the functioning of living organisms (Snell, 2011). Therefore, it is not enough to identify body structures, but also to understand them. For example, knowledge about human anatomy can help understand anatomical behaviors such as the human sexual response cycle. The most significant reason for understanding human anatomy is when a person plans to become a doctor, physician, or nurse. People planning to treat human diseases ...

Human organism represents a complex structure consisting of organs that interact in such a way that humans can live, breathe and perform all the functions that they need. But the organs as we can see them now (see Figure 1) haven’t always been the way they are now.

In order to clearly see the evolution of human body, it is convenient to analyze ...

Question 1

In the Preface to his Books on the Fabric of the Human Body, Andreas Vesalius discusses the problem of surgery in the medical science of his time – Late Renaissance. He argues that, historically, there have been three major methods of curing the diseases: treatment with medications, dietary regimen and surgery, meaning that you have to apply your “own hands” to treat a particular disease. To the physicians and scientists of the Ancient Greece it was obvious that those three methods are equally useful and closely related with each other and, moreover, they cannot be separated. Vesalius notes that the ...

The purpose of this paper is to differentiate the Medieval Art from Renaissance Style. The way to study the present is to first study the past; hence, the Renaissance style that flourished in the beginning of the 15th century was nothing more than a rebirth and continuation of the classical styles whilst breaking free from the traditional religious concepts of the Medieval Period. The Middle Ages or commonly known as the Medieval Period is a part of the European history dating from the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 A.D. Erstwhile, in 395 A.D., the Roman Empire was divided into ...

The epigraph mentioned in the question has been taken from the journal The Medieval Church Encounters the Classical Tradition. This blame on medieval ages is most often credited to the Christian Churches for throwing away the minute sparks of science and other creative activities. However, the conformation of the scholars to this fact has proved to be a major hindrance to the real understanding of the medieval ages. It cannot be denied that the middle ages were the times of political and social turmoil and saw a steep decline in the fields of learning and literacy. But, it is the ...

The Greeks’ profound studies about the human anatomy are reflected in the marble statues seen in the museum nowadays. The Classical style in Greek is the cross-cultural merging of the Greek and Roman styles (Mancoff and Bosch 38). The sculptures made during this period were realistic and natural; they are carved nude in marble along with the perfect body figures. One of the greatest products of the classical style is the Discobolus or the Discus Thrower by the 5th century Greek sculptor, Myron. In his work, the statue represents extreme concentration before throwing the discus at the target. The ...

Introduction

Modern day health care systems focus on offering holistic care that is patient-centric, safe, effective, efficient and timely. To this end, medical practitioners must have a diverse set of skills and knowledge from pharmacology to human anatomy and physiology. Of this, a sound understanding of anatomy and physiology are critical in provision of care for long term care. Physiology is the study of function in living systems while anatomy is the study of structure in living things. These two disciplines have been central in the delivery of health services since Ancient Greece where philosophers such as Aristotle explained the relationship between ...

The artistic and scholastic novelty which swathed Europe in the 14th to 17th century (Wikipedia, 2012) led to the creation of some finest artefacts and portraitures.
