Aesthetics has for the longest time been strongly related to beauty. It is essentially about how we comprehend the world around us and the things that are in it, how we experience these things, and how they manifest themselves in front of us. As a result, this process can fundamentally affect how we sense these things, how we feel about them and our mood when we interact with them. James Hillman describes it, stating, ‘Aesthetics in this primordial sense involves sensing the things of the world in their particularity and being affected by the many ways things present themselves.’ According to Kim Hermanson, only when we create space for beauty does beauty truly reveal itself. Afterwards, we can take the time to recognise and admire this beauty, …show more content…
As a result, the images we create in our minds add value to these places, this familiarity allows us to see them as protection rather than a means of impediment. It is because of this phenomenon that we feel safe in our homes, or that we feel safer in certain places as oppose to others regardless of if we have experienced that place …show more content…
These men do not feel like criminals, yet they are forced into a space which is intended to confine convicts. The idea that they have been unfairly judged and assigned to an incompatible space provokes objection. In affect the captive wish to oppose their captors, but in order to do so they must inflict themselves with suffering. They must put themselves further into this abject space in order to fight for their convictions, for the right to be acknowledged as political prisoners, a difficult experience for all
As they stay longer and longer in the camps, the prisoners began to become former shells of themselves and just had their physical presence to define them. They denied everything, not just human rights, but also their heart, soul, dignity, pride, bravery, confidence, and the
Regular Discussion Question: Chapter One: Tellson's Bank is small, dark, ugly, and uncomfortable. Why do the bank’s owners not update the look of the bank? Why might the owners of Tellson's Bank be proud of the bank’s dilapidated condition, and why would they go so far as to boast about its appearance? How does Dickens compare Tellson's Bank to England?
Dozens of starving men fought desperately over a few crumbs. The worker watched the spectacle with great interest” (Wiesel 101). This shows how the prisoners are being dehumanized and are being treated less than human.
The author tells how these men, as prisoners, are treated of quasi-slaves. In fact, the prison system is now the new plantation system of slavery in America today. It was more shocking for to learn what type of low wages the prisoners earn; and how refusal to work could be grounds for disciplinary action such as isolation cells or extended time added to original sentence time. It was additional shocking to learn the there is little or no rehabilitative service or training offered to the prisoners, and with the privatization of the prison system has led to longer sentencing time.
This essay analyzes the rhetorical strategies employed in this documentary and their effectiveness in the observer's mind. Logos Solitary confinement worsens the behavior of the inmates. The fifty four minutes film reveals that about 80,000 inmates in America alone live in isolation (Edge). The isolation was initiated to make the prisons safe and also punish the inmates. There is an evidence of an inmate earnestly trying to open his cell’s door to no avail.
They were hanged from chains and whipped till they were no longer able to scream. This unjust treatment was aimed to tame mental individual from “lashing out.” Their mental conditions were unrecognized; they were forced to endure harsh “punishments” due to their mental state of mind. The stand
Finally, a very unusual regulation this city has is its form of punishment. Equality gets taken to Palace of Corrective Detention for being late to work one day, and refusing to give a reason why. In the palace, people are whipped and then taken to a cell. Everyday the prisoner is asked if they would like to admit to their actions, or speak of what they refused say when they were first taken to the palace, but receive no further punishment if they decline. Though this aspect of punishment in a dystopian society
This theme is not just important in a famous holocaust recollection, but is constantly seen in our world today. Millions of people are trapped and wish for freedom, but the free do not normally cherish their freedom every instant. Confinement can make one long for the freedom they once took for
It pains me to say that I will not have the satisfaction of giving each and every one of those people who escaped or not the credit and appraisal that they so dutifully deserve. No, in this essay I will be focusing on three people, each with their own hardships and their own “imprisonments”, whether those “imprisonments” were literal or not; they deserve to be appraised. All three of these people contrast against each other greatly but, at the same time have immense comparisons. For example, all three of these people are minorities but, only two of them are male.
And they beat m e ... A g a i n … I can't go on” (Wiesel 110). This shows that some of the prisoners had no mercy for even a dying man. It proves that they were given nothing and that they would have to fight if they wanted to live. The second thing that this quote shows is that these people were desperate.
What most people do not realize is that beauty is an opinion. Nobody sat down when the world began and wrote a book on what defines beauty for the future. Beauty has just become something that we care about. We all think someone is more beautiful than us. But for every person you think is prettier than you, there is someone thinking the same thing about you.
During World War ll the Nazi's used concentration camps to kill Jews, elderly, gypsies, and much more innocent people. One of these death camps was Auschwitz. One interesting thing about Auschwitz is the physical location. Another interesting thing about Auschwitz is the train ride to get them. Finally the last interesting thing about Auschwitz is the ways they killed the prisoners.
The appropriate atmosphere is created also by the use of the words ”beauty”,
In his documentary film “why beauty matters” English philosopher Roger Scruton introduces the idea of beauty is disappearing from our world. The philosopher implies, that Art has become ugly, as well as our physical surroundings, manners, language, and music. Nowadays, the main aim of art is to disturb and break moral taboos. It has now lost its initial duty and is used to show solely the ugliness of our world, instead of taking what is most painful in the human condition and redeeming it in the work of beauty. What according to Scruton is the main purpose of art.
However, what one may see as beautiful may not be so through another’s gaze, which leads me onto my next point about beauty and desire. Beauty & Desire Firstly, if something is considered good, it does not mean that it is beautiful or that there is a desire for it. As Umberto Eco states, we can enjoy something for what it is and not desire it. Therefore, beauty and the good are subjective, clarifying that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, a term coined by Margaret Wolfe Hungerford in her text Molly Bawn from 1878.
