Question 1

Gabriel Orozco’s work can be classified as abstract because it attempts to depart from traditional representation art as physical things or objects. Abstract art is a trend in sculptures and paintings of the 20th century that focused on exploring the relationships of colours and forms as opposed to traditional representation art that focused on representing world features through recognizable images (Gowans 54). Orozco’s works undermine the possibility of achieving full representation. On the other hand, Kiki Smith’s works of art are representative because they are concerned with representing reality. They are forms of art that encompass ...

Racism in the United States continues to be a big issue nationally and in states, institutions, offices and daily commute. However, it is not as severe as it were in the past few centuries.

Introduction

The methodology is a systematic and critical discussion of the methods and procedures used to research a particular area. This chapter discusses the design and methods of the research process in detail along with the justification for selecting them.

The primary benefit of positivism is that it grants the required objectivity to the study by nullifying the role of human interest and the researcher's involvement. Crowther and Lancaster(2008) opined that positivist studies employ a deductive approach, and the researcher concentrates ...

Impetus for Amalgamated Clothing and Textile workers’ Union (ACTWU).

The core function of workers and labor unions is to protect employee rights and privileges. In the same spirit, the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union (ACTWU) organizers felt that SGA could capitalize on the hard economic time and stiff market competition to exploit the company’s employees (Nkomo, Fottler, and McAfee, 2012). The Union officials felt that with rising competition in the industry, SGA could resolve to significantly lowering employee remuneration and perks as well as considerably cutting down on the bonuses and other employee benefits so as to manage the operational expenditure of the company.

Gradually, manipulation in photography was looked upon to necessary to display the subject accurately. This was because the event was not self-explanatory or clear in photographs at times. Thus, the photographer was compelled at times to edit those images. Documentary photography is seen to belong ...

Introduction

Bousso, Poles and Cruz (2013) refer to a concept as an abstract image or a representation formulated in the mind. Therefore, it may mean one thing to one person and another thing to someone else. Concepts are important in the work of research in that a probe into their occurrence leads to the development and formulation of theories (Bousso, Poles, & Cruz, 2013). Thus, the development of theories in nursing practice and research is heavily dependent on the analysis of concepts; which are the structural elements of theory, which inform nursing practice and research (Bousso, Poles, & Cruz, 2013). Examples of ...

The reality is not an abstraction of idea or ideologies. It is a concrete faculty of thinking from the interactions of people with each other and the environment. Simple representation lacks the details that would make the symbols used to be the reality. Jasinski (484) quoting Mitchell (11) stated that people are “representational animal” in that they create and manipulate signs i.e. things that “stand for” or take the place of other things. In this case, the use of simple representations would have to be of something that one can identify readily. However, in this instance of over-simplification, the ...

The United States of America officially gained its independence in 1776. The new country needed to create own governing system. It was a difficult decision, because former colonies wanted to have the central government, but did not want to loose their sovereignty.

It restored main weaknesses of the Articles, but there were many arguments before all states accepted the new document. Constitution’s content stimulated the creation of political parties.

Hegel's philosophy is the culmination of the German philosophy development, which began from Kant. Hegel created a grandiose philosophical system, which covered the whole totality of theoretical knowledge at that time. This philosopher comprehended the state and the right as products of reasonable human activities, which were embodied in real public institutions. Hegel's political doctrine had a tremendous impact on the development of political and legal thought. In his teaching, Hegel considered the idea of the state and law, assuming the task of the science of law and the state not the development of ideas about proper and reasonable ...

The representation of the woman in the modern society is very important. It provides a lot of information about the way society perceives the role of the woman and the position of the woman which is fundamentally steeped in the need to prevent the growth and establishment of a male dominated society and system for the past 50 years. The United States has moved from being a homogenous society to one that has actively integrated peoples from different backgrounds into its national polity – African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos and immigrants. This has culminated in a cultural system where the civil rights ...

One of the major tenets that should be understood prior to analysis is the basic framework upon which the European doctrines of justice regarding liability have been established. The European Union is based on the express governance of the “multidimensional polities that recognize different levels of governance, each with the acknowledged power to regulate within a sphere of competence.” In this case, the tenets of EU liability law are essentially the result of the need to present the ability for those who come under the actions of the member states to be given a legal means for representation within ...

Made In China: Chinese Artistic Representations of Capitalist Consumption

In this exhibition, themes of appropriation and authenticity play themselves out in the works of Chinese artists Ai Wei Wei, Tamen, and Liu Bolin. Ai Wei Wei challenges us to reconsider what is authentic and what is consumerism. Liu Bolin’s works represents consumerism in the style of the vacation postcard — except in his photographs, the figure is camouflaged, evocative of the notion of China incorporated into a culture, but not identified. Ta Men’s paintings evoke the original anecdote of authenticity and food in the North American imagination. Chinese art that represents capitalist consumption brings to mind two ...

Maps can generally be described as representation of the real world through graphics. However, this representation is usually considered an abstraction of the real world phenomenon (Chorley and Peter, 48). This is mainly as a result of the fact that the universe is infinite and it is quite impossible to capture its entire complexities in a single source. Maps can be used to represent various issues for instance: The distribution of human population, temperatures and other aspects of the environment. In the case of representing the distribution of nature in an accurate manner the following maps can be used:

Introduction The rise of women top managers in the last decades is almost phenomenal. As early as 2005, female Chief Financial Officers in major American corporations constitutes 7.5 percent of all managers in this position and female Chief Executive Officers around 1.5 percent, a significant increase in representation from the levels (3.0 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively) seen in 1994 (Huang and Kisgen 822). This female representation, though, is still too small to not indicate the presence of culturally defined stereotypical bias against women for the management position, the so-called ‘glass ceiling’ barrier ...

International business is a complex ecosystem. As enterprises of all size and activity engage in business dealings on a regular basis, differential modes of interaction emerge.

This applies, more specifically, to staff who is assigned internally for short or long business positions. True, international business has been a staple of human activity for millennia. However, current business ecosystem departs radically from conventional business practices. Characteristically, current business is more overlapping and ...

My final project is going to focus on the representation of female masculinity in popular media and especially as seen in Orange is the New Black (OINB). The representation of gay women on television started back in the 1980s in the medical series called Heartbeat. It took so long a time until the 21st century for society to accept their existence. Television plays a very critical role as mainstream media, and many people find themselves glued to it. In order for society to appreciate gender diversity that has strayed from mainstream traditional gender relations, it is important to look ...

A Rose for Emily embodies the comic cannon of the use of obscenity within the spectrum of culture and time. By recognizing the proper reaction and effect that obscene elements have of the social, cultural understanding of the audience, the foundational consideration should be in making such scenes to be less ambiguous and exhibit less perplexing experiences. This paper establishes the extent to which obscenity should be banned from the existing comic canon. The baseline of this essay is to highlight the need for a regulatory framework for addressing the respect for undisguised and open commentary on social spiritual ...

English literature spanning various centuries reveals idiosyncratic trends and ideals of British history, which allows students and scholars to examine and assess successive literary periods. Indeed, literature can be situated within its historical context because literature cannot be separated from the context in which it as written. Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales underscores societal concerns with regards to corruption. Moreover, it provides a window into the historical ideals with regards to gender and how women were expected to behave and comport themselves according to their class. In a similar fashion, Beowulf, a classic in old English literature, reflects the ...

Sports are popularly believed to exist in a cultural, social, and political vacuum and place that is distinct from everyday realities of political and social life. As such, it is presumed that opportunities exist and are available for all groups regardless of socio-cultural backgrounds.
