In terms of both our vocations and hobbies, we often aspire to become great. What happens, however, when this very desire consumes and overtakes us? The 2010 film "Black Swam" starring Natalie Portman as a high-profile ballet dancer, shows its viewers that unchecked ambition can be a dangerous and ultimately deadly thing. This message is achieved primarily through the film's use of detail-heavy camerawork, its character depiction, and its embrace of magical realism and distortions of reality. The main character Nina loses her identity, herself to become perfect and on this way to the culmination of her transformation she ...

The artifact that will be the center of the proposed Holocaust Museum that will be placed in Cedar Rapids would be the red scarf carrying the symbol of the Nazi Group, otherwise known as the swastika flag. As a primary consideration, the target population, which is a small Jewish minority in the Cedar Rapids area, only has limited knowledge about the Holocaust and the horrors that their Jewish ancestors suffered from during the Second World War in the hands of their German conquerors and persecutors.

Critical thinking – Pink Summer

‘Pink Summer’ by Philip Guston is quite a great painting although at times it does seem to have lost its focus. There are several facets to it; from the way the objects are arranged around the viewing point to the strange pink colour which permeates the whole work. The immediate impression one gets is that Guston wants to convey a sense of disorder and comic portrayal; you can immediately observe the brush alongside other objects such as the ruler and the sandwich which may seem to be slightly out of place. Philip Guston painted “Pink Summer” in 1975, which consist ...

Arab Marriage Ceremony

Most foreign Arabs living thousands of miles away from home still respect and uphold their traditions dearly. Unlike most other cultures that fade away as people are assimilated into new cultures in their immediate environment, the Arabs inherit their traditions and practice them without major foreign interference. The Arab wedding is one such occasion where the traditional practices inherited from the previous generations still remain popular (Monger, 2013).

It is difficult to defend Tom’s statement that candidates can be discriminated against based on physical appearance. Although it is in general true that people “naturally” favor more attractive people, when it comes to a business, hiring, legal, or similar situation, discrimination should not be tolerated because attractiveness is highly subjective. It is easy to imagine situations in which appearance affects a candidate’s hiring prospects in ways that are natural but unethical and discriminatory. The obvious example is in a hiring situation in which an under-qualified but better-looking person is hired over a less-attractive but well-qualified candidate. A friend once related a ...

1. Introduction

Tradition can be thought of as an annual family ritual like a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Traditions can also apply to communities such as when the nation watches the lighting of the White House Christmas tree on television. Not everyone in one community or even one family always celebrates in exactly the same way and exactly the same time.

Another way to define tradition according to Oxford American Dictionary (728) is as “a long-established or inherited way of thinking or acting.” That definition applies more to what this essay will be discussing. Even better is the fourth definition ...
