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 most interesting point besides the argument is that according to the author there is a division between morality and politics. It seems that in their opinion that there is too much focus on people being able to live a bare life rather than a life that is happy, and free of inequality and poverty. Instead of just focusing on allowing people with life-threatening diseases/ injuries in the country, the French government must realize that their help is not solving the underlying issues that have caused people to be desperate enough to cause injury to themselves. There needs to ...

The article “Feminism, Foucault, and Subjects of Power and Freedom” by Jana Sawicki focuses on Foucault’s research and his ideas regarding feminism that he was promoting during his academic career.

While Foucault’s masculinity was not favored by others during his career, his methods were still seen to be very useful. Sawicki divided her article into three parts: Introduction, “Feminism and Foucault: Critique, Convergence and Possibility” and “The Late Foucault on Subjectivity, Power, and Freedom”. ...

Benford's law also known as the first-digit law deals with the distribution of natural numbers in which it tends to major into their importance regarding significance. The law states that given any arrangement of natural numbers, the smallest number always seems to be the most significant while the largest number in the collection is always the least significant. Therefore, number 1 appears to be the most significant in any given combination of natural numbers 30% of the times. While on the other hand, number 9 appears only 5% of the times as the most significant number. The law states ...

Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper was published in 1892. The story introduces a candid female protagonist who’s isolation from society, and from her writing, drives her insane. Written from a first person perspective, the story allows the reader to become personally involved with the narrator. Gilman uses symbolism throughout the story, two examples of which are the wallpaper and the wallpaper pattern. The story reveals interesting clues about how mental illness was treated at the time, and how women in particular were repressed by society. Through the use of a first person narrator and symbolism, Gilman ...

Thesis: Through a first person speaker, Collins uses language, imagery and form to convey his theme of lonely, one-sided love.

Introduction First person speaker Failing relationship Speaker still in love Language and Imagery “boat rides” etc “sometimes” and “more often than not” Form and Rhyme Free verse Occasional slant rhyme 5. Conclusion “The Breather” by Billy Collins is an interesting poem which conveys the theme of lonely love. Not that many poems cover the darker, isolated side of love, and this could be partly what makes this poem so memorable. Collins uses a seemingly mild-mannered, pensive speaker to narrate the poem, which creates a contemplative, conversational tone for the reader. Conversational language and imagery are also noticeable throughout, allowing ...

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 ...

John Dowland - Go, Crystal Tears from Book of Songs, Book 1 for solo voice and lute

1) In the beginning, it was strange and even a little bit uncomfortable to listen to it because it is so different from the music that I usually listen to. I never listen to such old music, so it took a few moments for me to open up my heart and mind to the music. I knew that the sound was beautiful, but because it was so unusual compared to what I usually listen to, it did not immediately attract my attention. When this initial shock wore off, I let myself sink into the song even more deeply. I ...

Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

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 ...

The principal characteristics of ADHD are reflected in the name of this disorder: it is attention deficit and hyperactivity, which are usually accompanied by impulsivity. On the other hand, we know that all children occasionally become too active, perform thoughtless acts and daydream about something. That means that the majority of children without exceptionalities also have the symptoms of ADHD, but their level is tolerable, so they are not considered to be exceptional. The presence of ADHD is determined when hyperactivity, impulsivity, and poor concentration, combined with a tendency to be easily distracted, begin to seriously interfere with the ...

a) An example of a circumstance / situation in which I was a successful learner. I have always liked to draw. I remember when being a child I picked up a pen, went to wallpaper and painted a large duck. The parents and brother were horrified.

However, my inner artist was waiting for me. I admired the details in paintings ...

old-fashioned camera with new functions Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 NEO-ClASSIC Instant Film Camera is a new product developed by the company Fujifilm whose emergence in the twenty first century might seem odd, since in the era of Instagram where millions of quickly made pictures are posted every day, paper based photos are not probably the best marketing solution. However, the statics shows quite the opposite. According to Bing Liem, Fujifilm’s VP of sales, “[Instax has] become wildly popular in a lot of the Asian markets and it's a very, very important product to Fujifilm worldwide” (Byford). It is ...

In recent years, there has been much discussion among sociologists as to the nature of crime and whether or not it is socially constructed. Generally, crime is an action or behavior that defies criminal law, and the fact that laws vary from place to place and between cultures automatically supports the argument that crime is socially constructed. Some interesting arguments focus on those who have power to make such laws and their motivations for doing so. There is a legal distinction between crime and deviance, in that while deviance goes against social norms, it does not break any actual ...

Abstract

Proposal Peculiar historical, cultural and philosophical foundations of East Asian states have facilitated relative homogeneity in local artistic endeavors, though certain peculiar details of art in such countries as China, Korea and Japan might alter greatly. Also, in light of historical trends and events, China became an Sesshū Tōyō a source inspiration for many Japanese artists, as it is shown by the body of research. However, it is still interesting to take a closer look at influences Chinese culture and representational conventions produce on Japanese art in relation to a certain period of time and certain variety of ...

Introduction

One of the largest and most controversial topics pertaining to nationwide and homeland security is the issue concerning nuclear weapons. Being one of the most deadly and effective war tactic known to man, nuclear arsenals have the potential to wipe out a major part, if not all, of humankind and as such they pose a major threat to countries and societies at large. It is interesting—and quite alarming—to note that even though people are majorly aware of the destruction that nuclear weapons have, most of the major countries keep a nuclear arsenal for potential use in military ...

Nursing as a practice has continuously evolved in order to align with the variety of stimuli that influence the profession. These may include new medical treatments and technical systems and dynamic social norms and expectations. One recent trend that has significantly influenced nursing is the need for culturally competent care, a situation attributed to the increasingly dynamic and multicultural society. For this reason, nurses are required to provide culturally competent care in the high-stress and high-acuity environments they operate in (Dayer-Berenson, 2011). This would allow one to improve their skills as patient advocates as they can adequately comply with ...

Immediately after assuming the presidency, George H. Bush had to deal with the enormous deficit the country was in while simultaneously dealing with the American people who expected him to follow Reagan’s policies. Bush also had to contend with being the leader of a Democratic controlled Congress that fought his decisions at every turn because they believed the best solution would be to raise taxes while the Republicans wanted to cut government spending. Thus when one evaluates George H. Bush’s presidency, it is important to keep in mind that even if he had meant to keep the ...

Lady Macbeth is an interesting character, no matter how she is staged, or how she is read. The changes in the way she reacts – going from a seemingly confident woman who herself urges her husband to shore up his courage in the face of what he has to do, to someone who wavers more and more, until finally she kills herself – are a challenge to stage in a realistic manner. The weird sisters are said to be the three fates which appear in Greek and Roman mythology, though how much they are so is up for debate. There is ...

Throughout the history of the film industry, the cinematography was aimed at expanding and solidifying the nature of storytelling. The development of cinematography influenced the development of cinema as a whole, while cinematography itself was impacted by the expanding methods of storytelling. Cinematography also makes you involved in the art of expressing your thoughts and worldview to many people and allows convincing and sharing your opinion with many at the same time. In a movie, you have an opportunity to employ your imagination and explain things that can be hard to explain. For some people, cinema provides a platform ...

Chapter 1

I found the role of the internet in conducting fast and cost-effective marketing research very much interesting. More importantly, tracing the consumer’s online buying behavior and suggesting recommendations for them from time to time as practiced by online retail giants like Amazon.com amazed me. Also, the concept of mobile marketing by adopting the GPS technology to locate the buyers and send them information about the special offers for the day is quite appealing. I also found the concept of relationship marketing more interesting. The interrelationship between all the stakeholders is the key for the success of any business ...

I think discarding something as uninteresting or not useful means hindering yourself in terms of learning new things; I have my reservations about documentaries that try to engage the viewer by playing cards like human vanity and ego, disasters and grand statements, such as ‘the most impenetrable fortress’; but I still think that everywhere we look we can find useful knowledge. As the name suggests, the documentary is about the civilization of ancient Egypt and their engineering accomplishments that became landmarks in ancient architecture and significantly contributed to ancient Egypt’s grandeur image as an empire. Historians featured in ...

Problem Statement

Japanese companies have enjoyed a high market share in the world market since 1980s. The products are preferred due to their high quality as compared to their competitors available in international markets. The main reason for high response of consumers is the use of advanced technologies that differentiate Japanese products from others. Unfortunately, the situation has become challenging in the last decade as Japanese companies are suffering low business activity due to the decreasing demand for Japanese products in the global market. There are numerous factors and reasons for this sudden and continuous decline in the market share (Fukao, ...

Wealth is abundance of something whether it has physical nature or not, it helps to make people better off. This is the most general definition which I would like the explanation to start with. This word is commonly used in different situations and touches upon different spheres of human life; that is why the word “wealth” has several shades of the meaning that are very interesting to discuss in this paper. First definition is from economics: “Total of all assets of an economic unit that generate current income or have the potential to generate future income” (Wealth). So if ...

Answer 1) AT&T is the largest telecommunications company in the United States, which also has a broadband business unit as well as satellite TV brands. Time Warner on the other hand, positions itself as a content company which also has some of the country’s largest entertainment channels as well as a Television and Film Studio. A merger between both is going to benefit AT&T greatly because the unique content generated by Time Warner will now be broadcasted using the expensive wireless and satellite capabilities of AT&T (Selyukh 1). Answer 2) the business rationale for this merger is that ...

There is no denying the fact that because of rapidly growth of humanity, a modern society provides a huge amount of different jobs. For instance, a person can be a teacher, an engineer, a manager, or choose a specific and complicated position. Despite the huge differences between these occupations, all of them are well-known and recognized by society. However, there are some hidden jobs that deserve some words here. A good illustration here is a mother’s work. It is often taken for granted; nevertheless, it also demands special knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) from women around the world. ...

Perhaps no other number has fascinated scientists, mathematicians and artists alike as the Golden Ratio. Also known as the golden mean or golden section (depending on its application), the Golden Ratio is observed by many people to occur naturally, manifesting itself in many natural shapes and geometry. This interesting phenomenon has resulted in an almost cult-like fascination among many people. In fact, there are people, including notable scientists and mathematicians with the likes of Johannes Kepler, Leonardo Da Vinci and Fra Luca Pacioli, who refer to the Golden Ratio as the ‘Divine Proportion,’ suggesting that the Golden ...

The Women’s Rights Movement arrived at its climax in 1970s and 1980s. However, there is still gender bias against women in the workplace. Discrimination is visible in many ways, including in the areas of wage equality, career progression, and leadership. Furthermore, such discrimination exists all over the world, though the capacity that such discrimination takes varies from country to country. While there has been undoubted progress in achieving gender equality over the decades, the task has not yet been completed. In her article, “The Glass Escalator: Hidden Advantages for Men in the “Female” Professions,” Christine Williams reports on ...

The exercise in self disclosure was an interesting one that got me to think sincerely about how deep my relationships with other people are. Generally speaking, I consider myself a fairly private person, and even in my close friendships I do not reveal a lot of information about my own life. Because I knew this, I was expecting that all four of my diagrams would be somewhat shallow in their relationships. I think this would be pretty obvious to anybody who looked at my diagrams, because in most cases my disclosures did not go past the first or second ...

Lord Gardiner’s statement is a wonderful example of legislators recognizing that precedent may stifle the appropriate outcome in a legal dispute. Comparisons can be made between other Western countries; for example, the US Supreme Court has reversed precedent that it set itself decades prior, such as the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education. Just like these countries, Lord Gardiner believed that Britain should not limit itself to decisions based solely on decisions in the past because the modern day situations that arise often require a more complex and systematic methodology for determining justice. In addition, but not ...

Police Interviews are a fascinating form of social interaction, and one in which a power and control dynamic is instantly apparent. As one part of forensic linguistics, the study of language dynamics between an investigating police officer and a member of the public provides an important opportunity to study this type of interaction, and power dynamics in social interactions more generally. There are various approaches to analyzing such interview, two of which are Conversation Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis. Using these approaches, and bearing in mind the context and ongoing importance of interview data, such interactions can provide linguistic ...

Washington Street, penned by Henry James, is a work of realist fiction, which takes on the cliché plot line of a traditional romance. In essence, a plain, naive, and inherently good young woman is pursued by an older man with ulterior motives. From within this traditional plot structure, James explores the nature of relationships, with a particular interest in marriage. Overall, he presents marriage as a troupe established for social purposes and essentially forming a simplistic social contract, with romance removed, or ruined by the interplay of social demands and questionable motives. This can be directly contrasted with the ...

Introduction

The concept of discrimination at the workplace has gone through a significant transformation as societal norms evolved under the pressure of globalization and urbanization, international mobility and access to information. While a lot have changed since the US have accepted equal employment opportunities and freedom of its black population, many will argue that gender and racial discrimination are still deeply embedded in employment relationships (Shen et al, 2009). The point that should be made here is once the first step was done to promote diversity and inclusion in social and business contexts, the society cannot go back and accept ...

Policy Problem:

The possession of firearms in the United States is a topical debate, and has been for many years. It is a national policy problem as gun crime seems to be on the increase, with many citizens believing that laws on gun control should be tightened. Rhode Island’s gun possession laws are similar to those in many of the other States. There is no requirement for an adult to have a license in order to possess a rifle, shotgun, or handgun. It is against the law for a minor (someone under the age of 18) to possess and use ...

The Affordable Care Act— also sometimes known as “Obamacare”— is one of the most important defining features of the Obama administration, and one of the first things that has been done by the Trump administration is an attempted dismantling of the programs that Obama so carefully designed to protect the American people’s right to healthcare (Kodjak, 2017). From a policy perspective, dismantling Obamacare will be a long and arduous process for President-elect Trump; it is likely to be a difficult process, made worse by the extensive cost associated with re-working the insurance system yet again (Pear, 2017). Nearly ...

Introduction

Divers studies have also shown that helping this group of people would require not just experts in psychology but also by the majority of the members if the society (Feng et al., 2012).

Introduction

The members of the LGBT community continue to suffer discrimination all over the world. Interestingly, the level of discrimination varies greatly from one nation to another.

In order to fully understand how the perceptions of people towards homosexuality vary, it is important to set some variables and study them. There have been diverse studies performed ...

My job search was not as easy as I had initially thought. I was interested in jobs in finance and investment. Using the keywords finance and investment, I found many jobs but only a few of the jobs interested me. At first, it was difficult for me to make various tradeoffs say for instance between a high salary and job that would force me to relocate. To overcome this challenge, I classified all the factors that I was considering in a job into two i.e. I came up with a want list and a wish list. In the want ...
