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.

Introduction The article, "Why Cultural Sensitivity Training Is Ineffective and Insensitive” by Susana Rinderle states that Cultural sensitivity includes more than simply being mindful of different societies, ethnic gatherings, and traditions. It includes more than simply being tolerant of varying ways of life. It includes more than simply suspending your judgments. Being culturally subtle means having the ability to work successfully in different societies.Cultural sensitivity training is often

Accept Taking sips of waking up. Warmth cupped in my hands. The maroon mug my mother gave me on a day when I didn’t want to be me. It was any day. Any year. How I looked at my body, and I said no. How she said yes. Here, have a mug with a woman on it. You need this. This something warm to soothe the worries. Trust me, it’s a beautiful body. Those memories of her are right here, my hands pressing into them, soaking back into the shifting sense of no, of yes, of no, of yes, of no really, I can do this

On Saturday, November 11, I attended a performance of Cabaret at Dutchess Community College. This musical is set in Berlin, 1931 Germany pre World War I as the Nazis are rising to power. It takes place in a nightclub, the Kit Kat Klub and revolves around an American writer named Cliff Bradshaw and his relationship with an English cabaret performer, Sally Bowles. The cast features six major characters: Sally Bowles, the headlining British singer at the Kit Kat Klub, the Emcee, or the Master of Ceremonies

Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047 The instruments heard throughout the concerto are violins, violas, a cello, a bass, an oboe, a recorder, a keyed trumpet, and a harpsichord. The first movement begins at a quick tempo. Sixteenth notes are played constantly and are passed around the different instruments. Throughout the sixteenth not passages or mordents and other embellishments. The keyed trumpet plays lip trills rather than p laying fingered trills. The phrases of the first

as Evita, was the most powerful woman in Latin American history and encountered a great deal of attention because of this. She was truly a fascinating person who the people admired and looked up to. Eva was the second wife of Argentina’s president Juan Peron and served as the First Lady from 1946-1952. Evita is possibly the most powerful woman of the 20th century and this is due to her being a caudilla: a political leader, even though she was not directly in power and it was her husband who was president

In general the freedom heard in Carmen’s music is not duplicated in Don Jose’s music or any other character in the opera. She is a separate way of life and this is how Bizet successfully stands her out from the rest. Even Sally Macarthur in her online journal writes, “Carmen’s music refuses to be contained. It is used to mercilessly manipulate Don José, who is obsessed with her. By giving Carmen unpredictable, disordered music, she is portrayed as the opposite of Don José.” There is no chance for

Mozart’s Influence In the Enlightenment The Enlightenment was a train of thinking that started with philosophers in the eighteenth century. Philosophers warned against religious division, cultural division, and social inequality. Today, our Declaration of Independence is based upon these same values of equality. In the Enlightenment, music took a different shape. Music was no longer only for wealthy merchants, but was now open to the public. Composers noticed the opportunity and wrote music that

Chaucer’s The Pardoner manages to be a much debated and highly controversial character of The Canterbury Tales, criticized by Chaucer himself in the way he was described. From his ambiguous sexuality and fluid gender representation to his questionable lifestyle of abusing the name of the Church for his own purposes as well as his overall defiance of the social norms of his time, the Pardoner is one character that can be explored from various angles. The Pardoner is first introduced to be travelling

The book I, Juan de Pareja took place during the 17th century in Spain, where Juan de Pareja was a slave. This was during the Renaissance where art was becoming more popular. Everyone at this time, then started to believe science and how everything works and focusing on themselves even more(humanism). Juan was enslaved for about 45 years but was then freed by his master Diego because he felt remorse he did not free him sooner. Another reason was that he developed sympathy and mutual affection for

satiric butts in his version of Don Juan. Lord Byron's Don Juan is different from the original story. The original Don Juan is not native and seduces women. Two satiric butts that stood out to me was the hypocrisy of marriage and divorce. It stood out to me because of the history, how similar it is, and how different it is to today's generation. In Don Juan, marriage and divorce went hand in hand. Divorce was not very common during the time period of Don Juan. It also wasn't looked highly upon.

Eva Perón: A Woman with Controversy Introduction: July 26th, 1952, Eva Duarte de Perón, the first lady of the Argentine Republic, passed away from cancer at 8:25 PM at the presidential residence Casa Rosada. Soon after, her death was announced by the Subsecretariat of Information and the government declared national day of mourning, suspended all activities as well as ordered all flags flown at half-staff for ten days (BBC, Eva Peron Dies). During Eva’s four-day long funeral, the city of Buenos

Lord Byron's poem “Darkness” was published in 1816, a short time after having left England. By most of the critics, the poem has been considered to be a manner to overcome depression. However, his work might not be only a reflection of his feelings when the poem was written but also a great example of how different the vision of the world of the second generation of romantic poets -also known as the Younger Romantics- was in comparison with the first generation. By analysing this poem, numerous romantic

I flew across the rocky blue Arabian Sea on flight AI1010 to America. With a new home and husband awaiting me, a new world ahead stuck on this huge metal plane, I feel so distant from everything I once knew. After spending the last six weeks with my husband’s brother and his wife in their home; cooking, cleaning and serving tea and sweets to guests, my nights leading up to this day have been spent tossing and turning at the thought of my parents being so distant and my new life so near. My last

in Argentina? When president Juan Peron died in 1974, Dictator Jorge Rafael Videla came into power, bringing all military officials to government positions. This caused the “Dirty War” in Argentina from 1976-1983. The causes of the” Dirty War” in Argentina were the death of president Juan Peron in Argentina, the people of Argentina fought for power against dictator Videla and the violence that corrupted in Argentina throughout the war. The death of the president Juan Peron caused the conflict in

Peron’s childhood established the foundational principles in which she ruled her life. Born as Evita Duarte to unwed parents, Juana Ibaguren and Juan Duarte, she resided in the city of Junín, a part of the Buenos Aires province. A year after Peron’s conception, Juan deserted his family – five young and their mother – for his own wife and kids, as Juana was a mistress in her relationship. This circumstance left only one option for her family, they relocated to Los Toldos, a poor regional village of

Don Juan vs. Dex In many different cultures around the world, Don Juan can be described and found in many literature stories as a “womanizer”. The Trickster of Seville or in the movie The Tao of Steve, are two perfect examples of that. Even if those stories were written in different country and in different time, the idea of this Don Juan is the same. Can those two Don Juan be similar therefore or do they have their differences? I believe that the story of Dex and the story of the original Don
