...Judy Chicago. “Birth Project Gallery”). The Birth Project displayed in more than one hundred settings, engaged the cooperative methods and a similar inclusion of concept and media that characterized The Dinner Party. Demonstration pieces from the Birth Project can be seen in various public collections nearby including The Albuquerque Museum, where the main assortment of the Birth Project has been located and available for showing and study (Chicago, Judy, and Donald Woodman. Judy Chicago. ”Birth Project Gallery”). While finalizing the Birth Project, Judy also started to focus on her personal studio work to create the PowerPlay. PowerPlay is an unusual run of drawings, bronze reliefs, weavings, paintings, and cast paper. Judy carried out a serious feminist look to the gender construct of masculinity, discovering how prevailing characterizations of authority have affected the world in general ("Judy Chicago Biography Women's Rights Activist, Artist, Educator, Journalist”). Judy’s thought processes and the way her mind works with PowerPlay, was a long fear with questions of control and helplessness, and a swelling attention for her Jewish inheritance led Judy...

...Margaret Sanger was born on September 14, 1879 in Corning, New York. Margaret was the sixth of eleven children in a Roman Catholic family. Her parents were both socialists and early activists in the women’s suffrage movement. She attended Claverack College and Hudson River Institute, but was forced to drop out due to her mother’s death.

...Semulka Modern Art in London 18 November 2015 How has the representation of women and female identity changed over the course of modern and contemporary art? Women have always been a common subject of art not only created by male artists, but female artists as well. In the late 1960s, the feminist art movement emerged following the women’s suffrage movement. The art during this era included works that obviously dealt with the female body even if the artists did not fully establish themselves as feminists. On the other hand, there were artists, like Paul Gauguin, who represented women in a different way. He spent some time in Tahiti to change his inspiration for art and discovered different subjects that included young Tahitian women. His pieces were so different from the pieces during the feminist art movement because his art typically did not give a precise purpose or meaning. Feminist art was representing something so powerful that it almost always needed a strict meaning. Another piece of art that almost contradicts the feminist art movement is Olympia by Edouard Manet. Consisting of a nude woman, this painting could suggest the views of women by the artist and even their role in society. Looking at these three different types of art really helps understanding the difference of representation of women over the course of the years. The feminist art movement started in the 1960’s shortly after women gained the right to vote due to the women’s suffrage movement (Feminist art...

...is often joy's immediate cause). No, what rankles me is the stylization of this private condition into a bullying social ritual. The French, who have elevated the picnic to their highest civilized rite, are probably most responsible for promoting this smugly upbeat, flaunting style. It took the French genius for formalizing the informal to bring sticky sacramental sanctity to the baguette, wine and cheese. A pure image of sleeveless joie de vivre Sundays can also be found in Renoir's paintings. Weekend satyrs dance and wink; leisure takes on a bohemian stripe. A decent writer, Henry Miller, caught the French malady and ran back to tell us of pissoirs in the Paris streets (why this should have impressed him so, I've never figured out). But if you want a double dose of joie de vivre, you need to consult a later, hence more stylized version of the French myth of pagan happiness: those Family of Man photographs of endlessly kissing lovers, snapped by Doisneau and Boubat, not to mention Cartier-Bresson's icon of the proud tyke carrying bottles of wine. If CartierBresson and his disciples are excellent photographers for all that, it is in spite of their rubbing our noses in a tediously programmatic "affirmation of life." Though it is traditionally the province of the French, the whole Mediterranean is a hotbed of professional joie de vivrism, which they have gotten down to a routine like a crack son et lumière display. The Italians export dolce far niente as aggressively...

...The two argued about their opposing feelings on politics and sociological matters. Upon the end of the argument Weber lost control of his actions and emotions and became violent. He punched Durkheim and then further attempted to hit him. After the disagreement and fight occurred Durkheim left the conference battered and it is reported that his was eye swollen. Not only did a fight break out during the conference the elite woman that was hosting the conference Lady Bracknell’s diamond was presumably stolen or missing. After Bracknell noticed her diamond was missing she called for an investigation to be held to assist her in locating her diamond and finding out who was responsible for it being missing. During this investigation for the diamond it was also noted that Durkheim had not been seen since the altercation he had the night before with Weber. So, after these events transpired Holmes and Watson began to investigate all the sociological theorist that attended the conference in hopes of locating the diamond and finding who was responsible for taking it before the news leaked to the...

...Remember So We Can Forget Again The commercials for the popular line of Axe body sprays are entertaining, to say the least. With just a few sprays of this female attractant in a can, women no longer have control of themselves, they are hungry and you’re for dinner. Now there’s a new line of shower gels for the guy who women can’t resist. It makes sense because, dealing with the countless hordes of women does tend to make one sweaty. So the creators of Axe have created a product that the modern day chick magnet can’t do without. The extended uncut ad has a guy waking up face down on his front lawn. He then proceeds to groggily get up and hit the shower, seemingly not remembering a thing about the night before. And then, all of a sudden, after using Axe Shower Gel, he has a flashback to a pool party. After waking from the pool party, he heads to the shower, gets cleaned up and is ready for more excitement. This time around, he ends up at what looks like a wanna be honky tonk, where of course the hottest girl in the place has her eye on him alone. They proceed to get away in either a motel room or her place, and end up doing what any young guy and girl do when alone in a room. Which is try on these huge animal heads one after another, and then act out certain scenarios such as whoever had the horse head on got to be rode as one. Page 1 Once again, he wakes up and has no recollection of the previous night. He washes with Axe Shower...

...ROMAN WOMEN ARE VISUALIZED IN ANCIENT ROMAN ART. DISCUSS HOW THIS IS AN EXPRESSION OF ROMAN VALUES AND THE SOCIAL ROLES OF WOMEN. The society of the ancient Romans has often been considered as the foundation for our modern society. Although the legal status of women in ancient Rome was quite confined, in actual fact women played very crucial roles in business, the arts, and politics. Roman women in ancient times, though discriminated against on ground of gender but was seen as the most liberated in the world of that time. When looking at the sources for ancient roman women many questions are asked and considered, such as, what was the role of roman women in their society? Were they considered citizens who had personal freedoms, or were given no or little education? Were there roles really important to society? Whenever we go through the records of roman women's status in society there is always a great consternation. Several sources or journals which mention the roles of women in ancient roman society, several works which mention them as wives and mothers. There are sources however limited they may be which delve deeper into the scope of these questions, which give a glimpse into the lives of roman women. Woman in artwork has been portrayed as the guarantor of bounty and fertility. Roman women throughout their life from childhood and education to marriage and further in the motherhood had played a great role in society of that time. Moreover, Roman women in ...

...Differences of Traditional Conservative Culture and Western Culture Victor Pinto Hudson Community College Abstract In the film (Arranged, 2007), it tells a story of two women who are going through an arranged marriage. Arranged marriage is something that is seen in traditional cultures, not really seen in modern western culture. Modern western culture and traditional cultures are very different. Patriarchy is followed in the home of these families, where the father sets the rules. Dating is also done differently. In traditional cultures, women have arranged dates with men, whereas in modern western culture people can decide who to go on a date with. Touching is also different, women from traditional cultures are not used to being touched by other men. They have little contact with other humans, unlike in modern western culture people are used to being touched by their friends or just shake hands when you meet someone new. Differences of Traditional Conservative Culture and Modern Western Culture: In the United States of America there are many type of traditional cultures people follow. There is a traditional culture that was shown in the film “Arranged”. Then there is the modern western culture that the majority of people follow in the United States. The traditional cultures seen in the film are from the character Rachel, who followed an Orthodox Jewish culture and Nasira who followed a Muslim culture. These two cultures may seem completely different...

What do you mean?” James asked. “He’s selling out to a fucking socialist hell hole. He’s throwing away all the blessing of liberty in America, and turning his life over to the will of the Canadian government.” “I don’t know,” James said. “A fistful of Canadian dollars and a little stability doesn’t sound too bad.” William turned and glared at James. Crocco stared into the white-hot expression in William’s eyes, and leaned as far back into his seat as possible. William reached across the cab and began slapping...

...Salisbury, 2013), and “every household had one or two domestic slaves, and most manufacturing and other labor was done by slaves” (Sherman & Salisbury, 2013), which in both eras, “it was customary to enslave losers in battle” (Sherman & Salisbury, 2013). On the other side, the differences could be found in the status of women living in either era. As the textbook suggests in the Greece chapter: “While respectable women stayed carefully indoors, some women – slaves or foreigners – who had no economic resources or family ties became prostitutes and courtesans who shared men’s public lives at dinners and drinking parties” (Sherman & Salisbury, 2013). The Hellenistic World chapter, “It suggests that women worked and earned money instead of staying carefully guarded within the home. It also shows a loosening of the tight family ties that had marked the Greek poleis and the ancient Middle East civilizations” (Sherman & Salisbury, 2013). Athens supposedly experienced “a developing democratic form of government… that allowed them to run and control the growing city” (Sherman & Salisbury, 2013), while during Hellenistic era, ”Society, economy, and politics all played out on a larger scale, and kings, rather than citizens, now ruled… It indicates people’s view of their king as the highest authority” (Sherman & Salisbury, 2013). What influences did the Greeks have on our society? The influence of the Greeks on our society is portrayed in many ways we can see and learn about in everyday’s...

...briefly became a colony of the United States. A few years later, Cuba than gained nominal independence from America in 1902 and functioned under a democratic republic, despite weak leaders in their national government. (CIA.gov) With increasing social and political turmoil, Cuba, looking for administrative leadership, fell under the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1952. However, Batista could not gain the popularity of the people and was ousted from the government in 1959. (PBS.org) The government than again shifted to a new type of regime and has continued with the same political lens ever since. Switching to socialist fundamentals and following the lead of Fidel Castro, Cuba has and currently is, governed as a single-party state under the Communist party. Now steadily ruled, Cuba prospers in music, food and their plush agriculture. Cuba’s Spanish integrated philosophy creates a unique and passionate society that cannot be found anywhere else around the world. Cuba’s immigration is broken down into four waves of different types of immigrants, immigrating for different reasons and during different time periods. Cuban citizens settling down in the United States started after World War II, when the country became Communist. These immigrants are part of the first wave, and are primarily wealthy, white Cubans that feared that the new...

We find out that they go to football games, barbecue with friends, join a couples bowling league, buy a condo together—and look pretty happy together doing it. | Flash forward two years. Brooke and Gary are living together. Gary’s still a popular tour guide for a company he owns with his two brothers; Brooke works at an art gallery. On this particular day, Brooke is assisting a very attractive male customer who ultimately decides not to buy anything. She tells him to wait until he sees something he just has to own. The day ends and Brooke rushes home, seeming stressed out. We find out that Brooke is stressed because she and Gary are having both of their families over for dinner. The families haven’t spent a lot of time together, so Brooke really wants this to go well. Gary wanders in the door and hands Brooke a small bag of three lemons. She’d asked him to pick some up on his way home and he’s proud that he remembered. But it turns out that Brooke needed 12 lemons for dinner, and Gary’s forgetfulness feels like a slap in the face. Brooke tries to get Gary to take a shower and then help her in the kitchen, but Gary says he’s tired after a long day and just needs to relax. Brooke says that she’s had a long day at work too, but she still came home, cleaned the apartment, and cooked dinner. They argue for a bit and then the doorbell rings...

...UraniaChristine Franklin ENG 106 April 30, 2014 Instructor: Sandi Greene Why Do You Hit Me? Domestic violence is an example of oppressive conduct in any relationship that is utilized by one person to gain or keep up force and control over their intimate partner. This type of violence does not always start or even become physical; it can also be emotional, verbal, sexual and psychological. All these types of abuse can stem from things that may have happened to someone in their childhood, their teenage years and even in their adulthood. These acts can be seen as acts out of fear, cowardice, and some may even attempt to say love. These are all ways that someone can try to explain their actions and why they may harm those they say they love. No one really knows what causes people to be volatile towards their lover, there are so many excuses that men and women use to defend domestic violence. Domestic violence can definitely affect the way someone looks at life, it can affect children during childhood and when they grow up, it also can cause someone to lose their life. One of the many forms of domestic violence and the biggest one is physical abuse. Physical domestic violence can be anything from scratching, punching, biting, strangling or kicking. It doesn’t stop there, because the use of weapons can play an even bigger role in the volatile acts. These actions mostly take place amongst a man and woman and the man is usually the aggressor, but is not limited...

...industrialization, and immigration. As a result, many Americans found it very hard to make changes in society to improve life for everyone. These Americans were known as Progressives and they pushed for reform aggressively. One of the most famous Progressives was our 26th president, Theodore Roosevelt. He prompted reform in many different areas and as a result created his own political party, The Progressive Party, nicknamed The Bull Moose Party. The Progressives wanted to control many economical issues that were impacting society. Its platform included women's suffrage, tariff reduction, stricter regulations on businesses, a ban on child labor, an eight-hour work day, a federal workers' compensation program, and the direct election of senators. Political machines - powerful organizations linked to political parties - controlled local government in many cities. In each ward, or political district, within a city, a machine representative controlled jobs and services. This representative was the political boss. The bosses gained votes for their parties by doing favors for the people such as offering turkey dinners and summer boat rides, providing jobs for immigrants, and helping needy families. A political boss was often a citizen’s closest link with local government. Although they did help people, many bosses were dishonest.
