At Work in the New Economy
The video “At Work in the New Economy” predicted an increasing number of women and minorities entering the work force. This prediction is truly accurate in today’s society. As the gaps between the income classes continue to widen, married women often no longer have a choice to stay home and raise their children. In order for many families to survive in today’s economy, both parents are forced to enter the workforce. The typical family dynamic

Attachment Disorders
Attachment disorders can limit a child’s ability to communicate in ways that build satisfying and meaningful relationships later on in life. Traumatic experiences even early on in a child’s life can affect their developing brains. Many people think that an infant will not remember traumatic events.

Aural Perception
Aural Perception While reading the selection on sound perception, it became very clear to me that every aspect of music and aural skills is completely reinforced in scientific reasoning. The aspects presented in terms of volume, harmonics, tones, and sound quality all come together to scientifically form music. However, my initial reaction was that aural perception in the study of music is hardly studiable scientifically, and none of the material presented in the article is

This film explores different cultures and their reaction and involvement with the same crisis. The technique the director uses, moving around in time and place, envelopes the viewer in every situation simultaneously.

Bach Chaconne D Minor
J.S. Bach is quite possibly the most respected composer of any time period. His compositions continue to be performed today because of their untimely beauty as well as the incredible technical ability one gains from playing such works. They not only challenge the performer technically but conceal a wealth of musical complexity which appeals to any musician regardless of their ability because it can be appreciated by individuals on various levels of musical understanding.

Back to Black represents Winehouse as a blunt person, who is not afraid to disclose her personal mishaps like struggle with alcohol or a breakup from which it has been hard to recover. The whole album brings back the late sixties

Baroque and Classical Wordpainting Techniques

While this is primarily one of the main purposes of all forms of music itself, including genres today, in the 15th through 18th centuries, this was largely done through the musical composition of a piece rather than the lyrics. Composers utilized several different techniques in order to portray to the listener the purpose and meaning

The best part of Batman Begins was its ending... and I'm not being sarcastic. As I was watching the last scene of the movie, I wanted to jump out of my seat and cheer when Jim Gordon handed Batman the Joker playing card. It's been a while since I reacted with such glee at the promise of a sequel (usually it's more of, "hay nako, may part two pa yan!"). Yes, the movie was that

Batman: The Movie
After an analysis and reanalysis of Batman: The Movie (1966) it’s apparent that this utterly absurd Batman film is one for the ages. This hysterical take on Batman is completely made by character development and emotions towards them brought on through the unique mise en scène of the film. While this depiction of Batman is much different than what modern day Batman fans are used to, everything that can be seen on screen makes it

Bats When a movie like "Bats" comes around you can get a general idea of what the movie is going to be about just based on the title. With progressively increasing budgets limiting the capacity of the movie, filmmakers are left with a catastrophic product. This is a completely mediocre, unexciting, and unoriginal example of the normally-harmless-animals-eating-people genre. It is a miracle that this movie was made, let alone released to theaters.
