The human becoming theory by Rosemarie Rizzo has its basis on the idea that the goal of nursing is to achieve a quality of life and that this quality of life is based on each person’s perspective. Essentially, each human has their individual perception on what the quality of life entails.

The meaning paradigm is embedded on the assumption that human becoming is the ability to find a personal meaning in the situations around them and that the reality of human is ...

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter is one of the most famous novels by the American romantic writer. While the novel is well-known for its depiction of the relationships between the characters, and the romantic plots and subplots, the novel also has great value as a historical study of the Puritan period.

Explorations of the novel, and of the depiction of Hester’s character, her punishment, and her actions in the novel can help reveal whether Hawthorne was realistically ...

A lot has been said about the prowess of Barack Obama and the brilliance he showed on March 18th, 2008 when he was addressing people in Philadelphia during his campaign.

The focus is on the orator ability to talk about racism and togetherness in public and his desire to move the country to a new and better level.

The Modern period from the late 19th to the early phase of the 20th century served as the catalyst for the beginning of avant-garde works of different artists whose works isolated their styles from the rest of the artistic movements that emerged in the previous eras.

Who can’t recognize the image of a voluptuous blonde woman trying to hold her white skirt down as a gust of wind from a subway grate blows it up? She may be in an embarrassing position, but her face does not show it. Instead, she is seen laughing with genuine pleasure on her face like she is just having fun. This is the image of Marilyn Monroe which reminds people that she is a true icon of beauty and sensuality, full of confidence and poise that reflects in her every picture. What is perhaps not known by many is that during that ...

Marilyn Monroe came from a very ordinary background and went on to become extraordinary. Was she really extraordinary or the people around her and the media projected her as one? In order to understand this, it is essential to understand her mind. Maybe there is a side to her that nobody has seen. She is no fiction but a real woman, who made all those movies and did get married. She is not the fantasies that people built around her. People love fantasies more than the reality. Marilyn allowed them to fantasize about something else. The purpose of this paper is ...

Introduction

The 60s are renowned as a decade that saw the first emergence and popular awareness of fashion and fashion trends. One of the main reasons this era was so unique was that it catalyzed a complete transformation of women’s fashion. In contrast with the previous, modest and symmetrical styles of the 40s and 50s, the 60s brought back some of the risk and emotion that the 1920s had begun. The 60s established themselves as a trendy era not to be forgotten with its urbane and informal dressing style. Women wore bold prints and bright colors, embracing the change with ...

The world has grown smaller with technology; bringing people closer no matter how far they physically are. At the same time, people have become more mature for the ages as compared to the past.

This book is a history of the society of the Italian Renaissance in a period (about 1400–1550) in which peers guaranteed that workmanship and writing was 'reborn'. Incomprehensible as it may appear, the Renaissance development was a deliberate endeavor to go ahead by retreating – as it were, to break with medieval convention by taking after a more seasoned model, that of the old Greeks and Romans. Hundreds if not a huge number of studies have been given to this point. The most well-known of them remains The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy (1860) by the extraordinary Swiss history specialist Jacob Burckhardt. Composing ...

Beauty, sexuality, gender, and race have always been inextricably tied to one another. This was especially true in the 1950s in America, when all these elements merged into a single whole, a fantasy version of the ideal woman. These concepts are strongly illustrated in Barbie dolls, beauty pageants, and the icons of the time including Marilyn Monroe. If one examines the three in conjunction, one is granted a disturbing insight into the norms of gender and race as they applied to physical perfection. Further, one can see elements of classism and class bias intermingling with gender and racial prejudice. The appearance ...

On April 16, 1917, the United States declared war and sided with the Allies. In 1918, the war that changed the world forever had ended. ...

Today, society allows people to donate organs, place their organ donor status on their driver’s license and at hospitals when signing in, but the government and FDA are against the selling of human organs. This legislation has been in place since 1984, when the National Organ Transplant Act banned any type of financial compensation for organ donation ("Financial incentives for organ donation," 2010). The question arises if there is a difference. I believe that just like paying your taxes, one should indeed have the rights to do as they please with their bodies. It should be within one’s ...

America has a big drug problem. And the problem has nothing to do with the war on drugs. It has nothing to do with illegal street drugs like cocain, heroin or crack. NO, here in America the problem is that, as the documentary American Addict points out, we have less than 5% of the world’s population, yet Americans consume 80% of the world’s prescription narcotic drugs. This is a problem that runs the current of the society, with victims such as Marilyn Monroe in 1962, and more recently Michael Jackson—whose causes of death are directly related to America’ ...

Hierarchic scale refers to the act or process of manipulating the size and the space in a given picture. Usually, this is done in order to emphasize the importance of some specific object in the picture. For instance, when an individual undertakes to paint a picture of some woman in a farm of vegetables, one could do several things to the picture in order to emphasize the importance and the value that is attached to the object in question. If the most important thing in that picture is the shoe that the woman is wearing, then the person painting the picture would ...

Information used by nurses in their practice has got to be of the highest quality in terms accuracy and effectiveness. The management of information in the nursing profession has been one of the major hurdles that nurses have to handle over the years as part of their occupation (Haux, R. 2006). Nurses have the duty of generally monitoring patients and determining, through the information they gather, whether the patient is moving towards recovery, or is moving ...

Women are objectified in patriarchy. They have to use their sexuality in order to live a decent life and get what they want, because their position in the world doesn't allow them to achieve that kind of success alone. At least that was the case in 1953 when "Niagara" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" were filmed. In the fifties, emancipation of women was not at its peak. Women are victims in a male dominated world and their only chance is to marry preferably a rich man, who will support them. Lorelei and Dorothy sing: "Find a gentleman who is shy or bold; Or short ...

Kara Walker’s painting is a clear combination of techniques which can be said to have imbued the American psyche. The issue of racism is quite clear and one can feel it in the title which is ‘The Rich Soil Down There’ where the inherent racism which permeates the piece is demonstrated by its clear allusion to the agricultural labourer’s history especially in the Antebellum South. The work which is currently on display at the Museum of Fine Arts has a lot in common with other works which Walker has exhibited at a number of important museums. These include the ...

Introduction

The double bind concept according to Marilyn Fyre refers to a situation of reduced options that human being have in their social living. Such options may lead an individual into a penalty or even depression. For instance, being cheerful and smiling is a requirement among oppressed people. If such people comply with these requirements, they signal their docility and acquiescence of their situation. Fyre further argues that, the oppressed acquiesce in their own world hence making them invisible, as they occupy no space in the available social atmosphere. According to Marilyn Fyre, the oppressed contribute to their erasure. In the contrary, anything ...

The Error Rate, in probability terms refers to the number of mistakes/errors committed per a stated number of statistical attempts or actions. In the death row context, the error rate would hence represent the number of wrongful executions conducted per the total number of executions completed over a stated time period. Given the sanctity of human life, the Error Rate in capital punishment is only acceptable when it is at 0%. However, wrongful convictions are in most cases unintentional and regrettable and hence there is a need to mitigate the possibility of such occurrence and this can be greatly accomplished by the ...

- Introduction The late twentieth century has become the “'age of the image” in the sense that gender roles has affected the stereotypical representation of men and women.

At the same time, media has presented a theoretical framework in the manner men traverse from positions of acceptance of the conventional gender roles to feminist activism and gender role supremacy. To be able to have a deeper understanding of the gender role journey over time, ...

Introduction

During the late 1940’s and 50’s, media was on the forefront in a post war effort to reconstruct the family structure after World War II. Most shows on television are dominated by nuclear families whereby women who are home makers do not challenge their prescribed gender roles. It is evident that sexuality was not illustrated in these shows (Barry, 256). On the contrary, there are film images of the famous Doris Day whose acting career was popular between 1948 and 1973 during which she challenged the image of the woman at home by being single, independent and successful ...

Introduction:

Art is always subjective but the way it has developed in recent years does show a certain tendency for the cubist and realist elements to be at the forefront. However one can observe how art changed from the middle 19th century to the avant garde preoccupations of Picasso which have demonstrated the changing face of art. We have also moved on to the modern exhibits such as those of Andy Warhol who demonstrates an original way of depicting artistic visuals. The change can be seen by comparing Gustav Courbet’s ‘The Meeting’ with Picasso’s ‘Le Demoiselles de Avignon’. ...

Analysis of Andy Warhol’s Marylin

Andy Warhol is considered to be one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. Actually, he is the leader of the pop art movement, which balances on the verge of artistic expressions, celebrity culture (mainly, movie stars) and advertisement. Pop art marked the consumerism mood among art lovers and artists. Unsurprisingly, it appeared in America and Britain, where consumers are famous for their active position. And Andy Warhol was their icon and so to say spokesman. In his work he combined different materials and techniques: he used hand drawing, oil painting, printing, photographing, silk screening, filming, using ...

Marilyn Manson got his name from juxtaposing the names of two huge cultural icons: Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson. He was born Brian Warner some years ago and decided to change his name in claimed appraisal to America and its culture. This name change is praising the same culture that he bashed in his piece. This is in itself contradicting. His first name, Marilyn, appeals to the gorgeous 50’s icon who has become a sex symbol for American culture. Manson is known for his controversial fetishes which include sadomasochism. Marilyn Manson may not be the direct cause of the ...

Andy Warhol represent popular culture type of art or “pop art,” an art movement which was very popular in the second half of the twentieth century.

It is also considered as an art movement which intends to “blur the boundaries between "high" art and "low" culture” (Scherman & ...

Introduction

As a student I have always wondered about the success of Marilyn Monroe in the film industry at such a tender age. She staged very stunning performances for the entire period she was on the public limelight. Marilyn Monroe was an American actress, singer and Model who lived for only 36 years. She had a dumb pale persona which was used to humorous effect in successive films. By the late 1950s, she had established a production company which released on of the best selling movies at the time. She won several awards during this time and became one of the most successful characters ...

Introduction

“Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition”, said Marilyn Monroe as she was defining the power of women thru their charms and presence, and not thru equal work with men. This concept, according to which femininity is the aspect that most empowers women in relationship with men was developed in various writings of the nineteenth century and comes as a contradiction to the binary relationship man – woman, which suggests that woman is placed on the negative side, as she is disempowered. Three novels, “The Awakening” (Kate Chopin), “Mrs. Spring Fragrance” (Sui Sin Far) and “Maggie: A Girl ...

Introduction and writers claim

The article ‘Columbine: Whose Fault Is It?’ was written by Marilyn Manson to caution the public against allowing such entertainments scenes that are responsible for all the violence being experienced in the country. The writer first introduces us to the earlier world where there were no literatures like books, movies and even television. During those times there was a different form of violence that is different from what is being experienced today. Violence and murder was not just something that was done and had serious repercussions. With the onset of literature, violence has become something that is more celebrated rather ...
