Balance: The White House And The Holy Place

263 Words2 Pages

Balance in art and in other subjects has a few different, indirect meanings but one meaning that could ultimately unify the word is that it allows something to remain in a steady position. In art, balance can generally be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Symmetrical balance is easy to view because both sides of the work can be considered the same; if one were to “fold” the piece then it would match perfectly because one side of the piece is the same as the other side of the piece. For example, the white house and The Holy Place all depict symmetrical balances. Meanwhile, asymmetrical balances are a bit more difficult to comprehend because many people tend to have issues with interchangeably thinking balance means symmetric. A work of art, such

  • Review Of By Order Of The President, By Greg Robinson

    567 Words  | 3 Pages

    In By Order of the President, author Greg Robinson examines the controversial topic of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s decision to relocate more than 100,000 Japanese-American citizens into internment camps for the duration of World War Two using Executive Order 9066. Preceding studies have sought to explain Roosevelt’s decision as a sensible reaction to bureaucratic pressure from military and political leaders on the West Coast, who feared the control Japanese-Americans and pro-Japanese held. Despite the vast examination of the Japanese Internment dilemma, Robinson argues that scholars have not sufficiently examined Roosevelt’s role in creating and implementing the internment policy. Robinson argues that typical narratives tend to diminish

  • Righteous Deniability In Angels In America

    370 Words  | 2 Pages

    Roy Cohn’s dialogue at the doctor’s office upon his AIDS diagnosis draws my attention to discuss the theme of righteous deniability in Angels In America. What I meant by that term is the ability of a person to deny a diagnosis or an accusation due to their powerful position and/or belief of being morally justifiable. I see the way Tony Kushner introduces a real lawyer during McCarthy era as a point of contact for the right wing “righteous” audience who may view homosexuality as a social disease during the time period of the play. In real life, Cohn was a prominent figure for the Lavender Scare in the 50s where the United States government went for a witch hunt and mass fired homosexuals. A hypocritical act from Cohn as he was regularly seen

  • The Trouble With (The Term) Art By Carolyn Dean

    791 Words  | 4 Pages

    While reading “The Trouble with (the Term) Art,” written by Carolyn Dean in the summer of 2006, we are taken through an array of different scenarios that lead us to questions what art really is. Dean explores the idea that the word “art” is used far too often and too habitually, and that as we study the non-Western cultures we need to use much more discretion regarding what we call the different pieces of their culture. Throughout the essay, Dean supports her thesis that we too often categorize non-Western pieces as art by using different examples of how certain non-art pieces were deemed as art throughout the course of their history. Dean does this by using four key examples of how these ancient pieces are inappropriately called art to successfully support her thesis and avoid biases.

    Connections Decline of American Religion and the Rise of Marijuana Use Name: Peter Sans Instructor: Institution: Hiram College Date of Submission: 10-22-15 Introduction Over the years, the United States of America has experienced a steady rise in a category of people who indicate “None” when asked about their religious affiliation. According to Grant (2014), this is a profound shift considering about two decades ago, only one in twenty Americans declared themselves unaffiliated with religion. However, the numbers seem to have shifted enough for the “Nones” to become significant. Interestingly, there has also been an increase in marijuana use among Americans over the years. The main purpose of this essay is to present a discussion about a possible connection between the decline of the religion in America and the rise of marijuana use.
