Has Technologies Birth to Film and Photography Played a Vital Role in the Destruction of Art in Its Traditional Sense, or Has Art Naturally Adapted into Other Criteria as a Liberal Movement?
The definition of art is a creative production that can vary on its materials, this is a highly generalised definition as there are other things to consider which define art, but these materials in particular would be my focus and whether such modern formats as photography and film are one.

African History
I think it is very important for us to learn about our African history. As John Herrick Clarke states in African people in world history, “History is a clock that people use to tell their political and culture time of day. It is also a compass the people use to find themselves on the map of human geography”. As African people we have been misinformed and mis educated about great African leaders and some of

African History
African History The pre-colonial African past is a subject that everyone should know about. Africa is where we originated from, and that is why I think it is very important to know about this subject. In order to know what happened in this time period the work of historians, archaeologists, and paleontologists is critical. I think historians are very important in the study of the pre-colonial African past. If historians didn't do their job than

Review of an Inspector Calls
"An Inspector calls" takes place in 1912, where there are great social divisions and distinctions. Written by JB Priestley in 1945 this allows for hindsight which eventually leads to dramatic irony. There are many examples of this, all of which are said by Mr Birling, "Just because the Kaiser makes a speech or two, you'll hear some people saying that war is inevitable. Well I say to that - fiddlesticks" This play was first published

The issue of female persecution throughout many of Hitchcock’s films has been fiercely contested, none more so than the controversial issue of assault and the attempted rape of a woman.

Shakespeare on Film-Observations
Shakespeare On Film 02/10/04 Hamlet 20002 Observations It was a difficult movie to sit through. It is not because the movie is inherently bad but because of my own neurosis. The works of Shakespeare, in my humble estimation, are not meant to be modernized. Modern settings, along with modern stylization detract from the original beauty of the work. It is illogical to watch Polonius giving fatherly advice to the young Ophelia in a penthouse
