Plato described the cosmos as being created by the Craftsman as a living entity with a soul. Since it is a creation it has attributes that all living things share. The cosmos is also separated into two realms, the physical and the eternal. The physical world is one the is ever adapting in both a negative and positive manner and will at some point cease to exist.

Thus, the definition of the word “nature” is more fluid than words on a page might indicate. The etymology of the word comes from the Latin “nat,” meaning to be born. This word morphed into the more current - at least in terms of language - “natura,” which has several different meanings. The first meaning of this root is the idea of birth. From a religious ...

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.

Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences.

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 ...

“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

The decade of 1845 to 1855 witnessed a rapid rise in abolitionist sentiments across the United States. Interestingly, at the forefront of the abolition movement were ex-slaves narrating their experiences in the hopes of eliciting a response from the anti-slavery forces. Now, and in perhaps the most effective tactic that the slaves employed, their narratives counteracted the dehumanizing nature of slavery. In other words, rather than accept the notion of white supremacy on which the slavery system survived, persons of African descent escaping their masters applied different tactics to argue for racial equality in the hopes of liberation for ...

The literal definition of Avant-Garde is “at the forefront”, and is a term derived from military usage. The avant-garde movement arose mainly because of the Academy’s (mainstream, acceptable art) stranglehold on the art world. The avant-garde sought to subvert the standard fare of the Academy, such as portraits, or urban or rustic scenes, and depict images that reflected the conditions of other socioeconomic classes – rather than the upper class. Moreover, the avant-garde emphasized “innovative”, sometimes radical, techniques.

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...
