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 ...

Introduction

How does the factor of gender impact the concept of violent offending? One of the most commonly held notions is that males have a higher propensity to commit violent crimes compared to women. This holding is one of the most widely held concepts in the area of criminology. However, there is a growing debate as to the scope of the “gender gap” in terms of violent offending has shifted in recent years. A number of commentators hold that the gap is described in terms of its stability; others proffer that there is an observable closing of the gap, particularly ...

This is a radiant cut diamond that comprises of distinctively trimmed edges and 70 facets. This highly versatile design combines the depth and brilliance of the round, princess and emerald cuts which makes this type of diamond popular. A cascade of texture engulfs this radiant cut diamond which makes its design relay heavily on the use of shape, texture and in some cases, the size. The 70 aspects design allows for the increased color refraction which results in improved brilliance of the diamond cutter. The radiant cut also hides inclusions better than other shapes since it is a hybrid ...

The media have given the depiction of female-instigated violence a partial coverage, and the belief has been otherwise. In fact, the reporting and the perception of the society have been oriented to male- instigated violence and this construed thought has had a place in the media reporting parlance. Based on this desertion, I have realized a series of shortfalls that have often marred reporting and coverage of female instigated violence. Therefore, I can attest that the partiality in this reporting has construed the social mindsets that male propagates most violence, and the public belief has been that female aggressions ...

It is undisputable that security has also become a challenge in this era where human rights are equally matters to grapple with. It is important that certain elements of ...

Is Climate Change Caused by Human Action

Introduction Are humans responsible for climate change? While it is evident that climate change is a result of different factors which when combined produce a hazardous effect, human action is considered to be the main cause of global warming. Numerous studies show that various human activities produce gas that traps heat which results in most of the increase in globally averaged temperatures. Clearly, atmospheric warming and cooling did not begin with people. It used to occur long before the rise of humankind through natural activities, such as volcanic eruptions, changes in the sun’s intensity and the already existing ...

While the films in the Batman cycle speak powerfully for themselves, the reception of the films – and the resulting commentary – go a long way toward showing the different culture in which the movies were made, and which they reflect. In 1965, when the original Batman: The Movie came out, the focus was on action and humor. A review from the time (Variety Staff) indicated that the film is “packed with action, clever sight gags, interesting complications and goes all out on bat with batmania” (Variety Staff, web). The reviewers also noticed that the “script retrieves every trick from the ...

Introduction

Chiaroscuro is important in artistic photography. Chiaroscuro heightens the dramatic presentation of the lone subjects in painting; thereby putting the audience attention on the central icon of the photograph. Originally, chiaroscuro was a technique used in the Renaissance period and even today to create the illusion of three-dimensional perspective and volume; by the Baroque period in the 17th centuries, the level of chiaroscuro emerged as one of the components of artistic presentation enabling images to mimic the real world setting. In photography, the discourse regarding to chiaroscuro has been left out; yet, it has been ubiquitously used by many ...

The purpose of this paper is to try to analyse two symphony concerts which are performed by the Danish conductor Thomas Sondergard. The both concerts consist of the pieces of music of Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich and his symphonies No. 5 (C mol) and No. 11 (D mol). These concerts do not have lyrical mood, but they draw bright musical picture which is rather dramatic. Abrupt change of rhythms, dissonance notes, dialogues of musical instruments immerse the listener in the world of misery and opposition to the evil. Both symphonies have life-asserting character though.1 The four part symphony No. ...

The meaning of identity takes on a very broad concept as its context can be defined in terms of socio-political circumstances. In any ways, culture is also one of the primary reasons that help in shaping identity of a person that makes them unique from different cultures. In terms of visual arts, many artists have tried to preserve their identities through painting, mirroring themselves, providing symbolisms that make their painting stand out from the rest. Especially in a place called museum, making a painting stand-out from the rest can be difficult and depending on the iconography they portray, the ...

Introduction

Economic globalization has brought about the interaction of people from all over the world. Therefore, whenever there is an economic crisis in one country, it could end up affecting the whole world. Global economic can, therefore, be stated to rely on one another. This fact means that communication between different countries is imperative. Communication and trade between nations can be observed even during the ancient times (Mussa). The Greeks interacted with their neighboring nations and even though they conflicted a lot. It can still be noted that there was some trade that occurred between them. The process of globalization, ...

Abstract

The aim of the experiment was to determine the relationship between the diameter of a steel ball and its terminal velocity in glycerol. Four balls with different diameters were put in a transparent cylinder full of glycerol. The velocity of the ball was calculated based on the time taken for the ball to pass from one mark on the cylinder to another. The results showed that an increase in the diameter of the steel ball leads to an increase in terminal velocity. Besides, the results show that the larger the diameter of the steel ball is, the faster the ...

“The Things They Carried” seems like a simple story concerning the items carried by soldiers while in Vietnam. But in the real sense, Tim O’Brien uses the stories to focus on the terrible conditions of Vietnam as well as the death of one soldier. He believed that the things men carried inside, and those they did or the ones they felt they had to do was so sad (O’Brien 57). It can be described as a powerful meditation by the Vietnam soldiers that is somehow fictional and fact. Besides, the author created a protagonist as a fictional ...
