423 Words2 Pages

The photo on page 114 is a representation of the painting of “The Creation of Adam” of the Sistine Chapel 's ceiling with a chimpanzee in place of Adam. Due to this essay being formal, this photo is inappropriate as it presents a religious bias, it can offend religious people, and it only shows one perspective of the situation.

The recreation of the painting, “The Creation of Adam”, on page 114 presents a bias that conflicts with the credibility of the essay. Formal essays should contain strong arguments without external influences. Influences such as religion, cause the content to be not as reasonable. As a result, the photo provokes the reader to question whether or not the essay is one-sided with points only supporting its bias. The photo should not have been included as it threatens the author 's credibility as a reliable source.

Moreover, the photo on page 114 is a recreation of a religious painting of the …show more content…

Furthermore, the photo only shows one point of view of the issue. Regardless of if GAPA is passed, chimpanzees will not get a new life. They are constantly being poached. According to WWF, bushmeat has always been a primary food source in Central and West Africa, but in recent years poaching has become commercialized to satisfy the appetites of wealthy urban residents. Likewise, infant chimpanzees are frequently taken alive and sold in cities as pets. As a result, chimpanzee have already disappeared completely from four countries and are under tremendous pressure everywhere else they live. The photo should not have been included as it shows only one perspective of the situation and does not include the overall outlook for the chimpanzees.

The photo on page 114 is inappropriate as it creates a lot of controversy. Not only does the photo present a religious bias that diminishes the credibility of the article, but it also may offend those who are religious.

    1699 Words  | 7 Pages

    Throughout history, photographs have been known to depict and represent culture, character, information, and ideology. Through specific elements of form, and close scrutiny, photographs give a representation of the “bigger picture” by providing content and invaluable information that text, on its own, does not produce. Dr. Carol Payne, a professor of art history at Carleton University, wrote an essay in 2012 for the Oxford University Press. This essay focused on the relationships between photographic images, Canadian culture and identity, and indigenous people. Her thesis was to discuss how an image can present a sense of national identity (Carol Payne 310).

    Man’s view of the world changed greatly in a blink of an eye during the Renaissance, and for good reasons. The Middle Ages (which stretched from about 500 CE to 1350 CE), were a time of little schools, widespread illiteracy, and the Catholic Church ruling everything in Europe, meaning almost everyone had to look up to them to explain the world. During this time period, many of the population were peasant farmers named serfs under the rule of a lord who they worked for. However, At the backend of this period, the world started to change.

It may be one of the most overwhelming paintings to ever understand, and you know how I am when I don’t understand something at first how frustrated I get.

    But what if my brother isn’t in America?-Then the rays don’t hit anything. Wittgenstein correlates this idea with Michelangelo’s painting of the Creation of Adam. The role of pictures of Biblical subjects, Wittgenstein claims, and the role of the god creating Adam are totally different ones. Did the deity creating Adam look like how Michelangelo portrayed him?
