History shows that a social affiliation inside trade bundles cannot speak to uprising in the ...

There is no doubt that Hector is the mightiest and undisputed warrior in the Trojan army. Despite being slain by Achilles, he lays waste to the Achaean army while Achilles is absent. However, even though he appears to be a competent leader, there tend to be perceptible flaws in his leadership, especially toward the end of Homer’s Iliad, when the Achaean army receives new strength when Patroclus and later Achilles himself joins them. It seems that Hector exhibits the trait of cowardice when he “turns coward and runs” ( Erwin Cook Ivi) from the Great Ajax twice in Book 17 ...

The two protagonists of Homer’s Iliad and Shakespeare’s Coriolanus present similar sentiments. All three of them were great leaders of men and valiant fighters. It is unfortunate that these men were dragged into situations from where there could be no escape as they were, and had to live up to their heroic statures. There was a huge burden placed on them by their respective followers during war that they paid no heed to the consequence they would face when they faced off with their enemy. Therefore, there is no doubt that all the three of them; Hector, Achilles, ...

Introduction Modern psychology relies primarily in experimentation. Since animals and human beings constitute the subjects of experimentation, precautionary measures continue to improve the process of experimentation while producing the less possible amount of damage to animals or human beings. Thus, different models, approaches and theories keep coming up as to how to do experimentation in psychology for furthering research. Danziger (1985) writes that the experimentation in psychology has evolved as a social institution (Danziger, 1985, p. 133). Similarly, Schultz (1970) recognizes that modern psychological experimentation is the result of a long history of developments that have shaped this science ...

The treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. Benjamin Franklin had insisted on the recognition of American independence by the British Empire. He had also refused to consider a peace separate from France, which was America’s great ally. The insistence was because he had rejected informal peace overtures for a settlement by the Great Britain, which would have provided a settlement for the thirteen states with some measure of autonomy. The cause for the recognition of the independence of America was due to the war between the Great Britain and America, which had lasted almost seven years. The Great Britain had, ...

Personal Narrative: Visit to France

I can recall the time I visited Paris, France like it was yesterday. I had been excited for months; the anticipation had grown to insurmountable proportions. My passport was ready and my bags were packed. I had repacked them twice, partially out of excitement and partially because I did not want to forget anything. I remember thinking, naively as I looked at my bedroom, house, and street the morning we left that this was the last time I would look at any of these places as a child. I would be returning a cultured adult who had seen the world. I ...

In this chapter, the author Colin Westerbeck discusses the photographic prowess of two great Hungarian photographers, Brassai and Weegee. Although both artists come from completely different backgrounds, Westerbeck observes some common traits that are starkly similar, especially in particular exhibitions such as Brassai’s The Secret Paris in the 1930’s. This series of photographs exposes the horror and brutality of the Paris nightlife that was hidden away in the dark streets of the less fashionable quarters with drunkards, vagrants and prostitutes rampant – all are caught with stark immediacy by Brassai’s camera. Westerbeck analyses this exhibition in ...

Pierre August Renoir: The Pont des Arts, Paris (1878, Oil on Canvas)

Renoir’s bold form of impressionism lent itself to a number of finely wrought paintings which definitely show his affinity with the landscape genre. This magnificent view of Paris in the late 19th century almost brings up memories of Proustian elegance with its cultivated beauty. One of the most enlightening features of this painting is the manner in which the boats are portrayed as they laconically await other passengers to board them. Renoir uses bold brushwork to convey a heady sense of imagery and relaxation; this is an artistic form which permeates the whole painting. The glut of people who ...

Movie review: ‘what time is it there’ and ‘pushing hands’

The two movies, ‘What time is it there’ and pushing hands are similar and also different in a number of ways.

Both the films what time it is there and pushing hands are very similar in terms of the message they carry across and how they do it. Both films involve people trying to recover from major setbacks in their lives and adapt to a new environment in the process.

The Trojan War is easily one of the most critical events in Greek Mythology as perhaps best emphasized in Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad. While there are variations in the accounts as to the causes of the War, the War that was waged by Achaeans against Troy, follows the loss of the King of Sparta’s wife to Paris. This does however remain largely debatable as regards its historical veracity, with beliefs that Homeric literature did exaggerate different things in line with varied poetic needs. This paper assesses the varied accounts of the primary and secondary factors that caused ...

Although the symphony as we know it today has a wide remit in terms of structure and organization, this was not always so.

Huysman’s novel is an interesting and almost fateful indictment of Parisian society which focuses on the artificial and artistic collections with several aesthetic conundrums although the end result is surely quite agreeable. Huysman examines the decline of the aristocratic Jean Des Esseintes who is a recluse in his own world of art and decadence with a retrospect of the past in the salons of Paris.

The Feminine Divine: Artemis and the Sanctity of Balance

Artemis is a divine representation of nature’s primal force and its capacity for self-preservation. Her archetype is, as Ginette Paris has said, connected to global ecology through the cycle of life and death, and of sacrifice in the sense that death itself plays a necessary role in maintaining the natural equilibrium (Paris, 2009). A feminist goddess, she is suppliant to women in childbirth in which she holds power over life and death. Through Artemis’ intervention, as Paris asserts, abortion becomes a sacred act intimately tied to maternal love; it is not a manifestation ...
