SummaryIn the intellectual world, there are many different theories to explain and ideas to shape our role on this planet. The question over the existence of God is too large to tackle, but the fact that we have individuality and free will is indisputable. How are we to understand man’s role on Earth? Romanticism tells us to look within ourselves for this knowledge. Enlightenment tells us to listen to the reason and scientific findings of others and to the law. Materialism tells us to assess the flow of capital to understand our place. However, the world and all the nature within it go beyond societal laws and possessions. Man-made laws, money, and humans are only a small part of the entire universe. Romanticism is the best path towards understanding what our role in this world is because it focuses on the natural elements around us, on only truly experiencing life’s emotions and lessons, and expanding our thinking through our own selves.
Table of Contents
- Romanticism stresses intuitive learning and personal emotion.
- Romanticism teaches that social awareness is very important.
- Romanticism encourages us to be comfortable with ourselves.
- Enlightenment encourages society and mankind to work towards perfection together.
- Materialism is another viewpoint that may be used to understand one's place in the world.
- Romanticism rises above Enlightenment and Materialism to provide the best methods of understanding one's role in society.

SummaryIntroduction
Artwork is created for a number of reasons. For instance, artwork may reflect the artist’s inner conflict as he or she strives towards evolution. At the same time artwork can serve as the artist’s interpretation of larger society and culture. In most instances, the viewer, examining the artwork may find it difficult to discern why the artist has created the work. This invariably adds to the work’s enigma.
Even though it is often difficult for the layman to understand why an artist chooses a specific subject or medium, there are instances in which the average viewer can discern the reason and purpose of artwork. Such is the case with the photography that has been collected and displayed on the subject of the AIDS epidemic in South Africa. Thanks to the painstaking efforts of photographers from all over the world, the photographs of the AIDS epidemic have served as the impetus to raise public awareness about the epidemic and educate society about the true tragedies that are occurring in Africa. Through the photography of the AIDS epidemic in Africa, collective consciousness is increasing and more support and aid is being provided for countries and individuals suffering with this tragedy.

SummaryThere is no better way to learn about historical experiences of others than to hear about them through the actors’ own words. In Latin America, there is a continuing history of political upheaval. In many countries, ordinary citizens are repressed by the elite government, and there exists an intricate system of guerrilla rebellion to injustice. Political “subversives” are treated as common criminals, and an ideological war confronts anyone who wishes to publicly hold a view different from the national government. Fortunately, there are brave citizens who choose to fight for their beliefs and braver ones still who write about it so the world may know. Maria Eugenia Vasquez Perdomo of Colombia has done this with My Life as a Colombian Revolutionary: Reflections of a Former Guerrillera. And Alberto Ulloa Bornemann has done this with Surviving Mexico’s Dirty War: A Political Prisoner’s Memoir. These two autobiographies/memoirs have provided insight into each country’s struggle for and against freedom, and what it may have been like to be on the front lines of this conflict.
Table of Contents
- While the governments of Colombia and Mexico both repressed citizens from voicing differing political opinions, the roots of the repression were different.
- Ulloa Bornemann, on the other hand, had parents who were not particularly supportive of revolutionary political ideals.
- When Vasquez Perdomo and Ulloa Bornemann joined the guerrilla movements in their countries, they participated in many of the same types of training and missions.
- Like many guerrillas who fight against repression in their governments, both Vasquez Perdomo and Ulloa Bornemann were eventually arrested and served time in prison for political subversion.
- Ulloa Borneman was captured by the Mexican military with stolen arms in his vehicle. His imprisonment was considerably more harsh than that of Vasquez Perdomo.
- Vasquez Perdomo and Ulloa Bornemann both turned their life stories into priceless testimonies of Latin American history.

SummaryA heated competition exists between Playboy and Maxim magazines, two internationally-known magazines aimed at the male pop-culture target audience. Playboy, a well established publication, has risen to the status of sex icon in the fifty years since it was created by Playboy Enterprises Inc. mogul, Hugh Heffner (Lazaroff, 2004). The magazine possesses a rich history of featuring celebrity model centerfold spreads and humorous editorials, and has served as a means middle-aged males could stay in step with the times. In 1997, United Kingdom-based Maxim was launched. The impact of this publication has been tremendous, to the extent that an article in the American Observer stated that “The traditional U.S. men’s magazine market has been under a British invasion for seven years” (Kay, 2005).
Table of Contents
- At a recent lecture given to the NYU Department of Journalism, current Playboy editor Christopher Napolitano said the magazine serves to accomplish two main goals
- With respect to consumer base, males compose 80% of Playboy readers, with females composing the other 20%.
- Certain trends can be observed when looking at these figures.
- With respect to Maxim's circulation, the total number of paid and verified circulating issues in 2006 was 2,568,339.
- In contrast to Playboy's CPM, Maxim's appears to be quite higher.
- The content description found across the cover of Playboy really help highlight the difference in content found in both of the magazines.
- Generally speaking, the content found within Playboy, at least of the non-sexual nature, seems to be more sophisticated and intellectually stimulating than that of Maxim.
- The editorial love-affair with Kaminsky proves to be very interesting, as Playboy is now viewed as better able to compete with Maxim.
- I reviewed these four magazines as a 22-year-old woman, and do take an interest in men's issues, not to mention the fact that I also love looking at a hot girl.

SummaryBy the decisive spring of 1945, Allied Forces had entered Germany and were pushing towards the Rhine River. A series of bombing campaigns destroyed a number of major cities, crippling German industry and leading to the defeat of the Third Reich. Among the war correspondents who chronicled the destruction of German industry was Margaret Bourke-White, a photojournalist on assignment for Life magazine. Among the hundreds of photographs she snapped during her time as a war correspondent is an image of the wrecked Hoherzollen Bridge in Cologne, Germany. It is not a well-known photograph – her images of ruined German cities would soon be eclipsed by her chronicling of concentration camp horrors – but it reflects her function as a war correspondent charged with informing the public. Simultaneously, however, the photo reflects her keen sense of artistry honed by years of pioneering industrial photography and glorifying the machine age. The photograph thus echoes two warring impulses.
Table of Contents
- At the time she snapped Hohenzollern Bridge, Margaret Bourke-White was already one of the top photographers of her day.
- Hohenzollern Bridge does indeed serve as a telling document of the wreckage.
- Today both Royal Air Force and American bombers attacked the Hohenzollern bridge at Cologne.
- Bourke-White's eye for the aesthetic emerges in the photograph primarily through the geometries of the composition.
- As I drove in to the city from Deutz today, it felt like it always did.
- As a war photograph, Hohenzollern Bridge is best contextualized by the intersections of Bourke-White's entire body of work.

SummaryA filmmaker’s ultimate role is to properly present images in sequence that tell a story and/or conveys a message or several of them therefore. With various imagery tools, movies present a message in a way that makes them seem natural and fitting for the context that it is presented in. Whether it’s a horror movie, documentary or educational film, the media gives us ways of imagining particular groups, identities and situations. This is most often defined as a stereotype.

SummaryThe changing face of today’s classroom has been linked to the direct correlation to a child’s achievement. Since the late 1980’s, nearly $5 billion more was spent annual on classroom technology (Foltos). This rise in funding positively displays the effect these new methods of teaching have on education as a whole. According to Larry Cuban in 2002, fewer than 20% of teachers used technology in the classroom and nearly half of all teachers didn’t use it at all. Although, when the materials were used, they were not necessarily utilized to improve teaching or learning (Foltos).

SummaryWriting is the most powerful tool that was given to humans. However, verbal communication is easier. Many people can articulate and verbally relate information they seek to pass on to their peers. Writing is a way of making sure that the message stays with the masses for a longer period of time. There are different ways to write; a piece of writing is created to send a message. Two seemingly different pieces of writing can sometimes hold unique comparisons. In this paper, we will seek to examine correlations and differences between two pieces of writing by two completely different individuals on two unrelated topics, to show that written messages can be very powerful, unique and similar at the same time.

- Contrast Analysis.

SummaryThe mirror is quite an interesting and useful tool; they allow people to see themselves in great detail and in ways one would never imagine possible. This greater perspective of oneself is very important for various reasons that run the gamut from physical aesthetics to inspecting oneself for abnormalities. As such, we trust the mirror to be as accurate as possible in relaying information about ourselves and we would find no use in them if they twisted or distorted the original image. As the primary source of information in contemporary industrial society, we rely upon the media to do the very same. As the proverbial mirror of society, we trust the media to faithfully relay accurate information to us so that we may better understand our world. Suppose for a moment that the media better resembled the likes of a funhouse mirror rather than those loyal panes of glass we stand in front of every morning. The consequences of this distortion would most definitely be a cause for serious concern. Crime and criminality are often found at the forefront of television news casts, the front page of newspapers, in our movies and in our video games. The former not being a far cry from the latter, it would seem as though criminal behaviour is indeed quite a popular area of concern to the many of us peering into the societal mirror. However, the nature in which crime is depicted is not often faithful to reality, and therein lies the problem: our faithful bearer of information is, in reality, much more similar to the likes of a carnival funhouse mirror; one that is better suited for amusement rather than serious inspection. Unfortunately, as one of our primary sources of information, the ramifications of this distortion find their way deep into the very policies used in crime control.
Table of Contents
- Society's perception of crime is indeed distorted.
- The entertainment side of the media is often considered less reliable.
- Looking overseas to Britain and Germany, Lucia Zedner (1995) conducted some interesting research.
- Typically, the general public determines crime control policy by voicing concern.
- Sensationalist reporting and distressed citizens are not surprising.
- Further down the proverbial rabbit hole of media inaccuracies.
- It should be clear by now that the media influences the public emotionally and distorts their view of crime.

SummaryCommunication competence is the concept or framework that defines communication as we know it. It covers the all of the bases of communication, from talking to a person individually, to specific cases where logistics and demographics come into play. In order to be able to communicate over a large contextual area, such as group, interpersonal, public, mass media or intrapersonal, a person must have at least a standing knowledge of communication competence. Drawing back to the time of Plato and Aristotle, we can find instances where communication competence has drawn its rots.
These are the ten principles of communication competence that are most intertwined in our society today. These principles, if used singularly, are incredibly useful but when used together extremely potent.
