In the first section of Chapter 1 of Encountering God: A Spiritual Journey from Bozeman to Banaras, the author Diana Eck discusses her personal experience from exploring the encounter of Bozeman and Banaras. The author raises many interesting questions in this section about religious differences, what it means to be of a certain religion, if the label of being a certain religion matters or defines oneself, what another culture or religion means to an individual of another religion, and how members of different religions view one another. Eck explains how she was raised as a Christian in Bozeman under an influence of the church, and during her college years, she travelled to Banaras in India and she experienced a challenge in her faith by observing
In the book, DiLorenzo brings up several topics. The first one, which seems to be one of DiLorenzo’s strongest arguments, is the question of why Lincoln did not end slavery peacefully. In chapter three, DiLorenzo tells the reader “Dozens of countries, including the possessions of the British, French, and Spanish empires, ended slavery peacefully during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries” (48). Since all these other countries were able to end slavery in this way, the question is why America could not.
She writes, “The standard apology for museum sales activities, ‘Because we need the money. ’”(Source D). This describes the gift shop aspect of the museums and how it is not well regarded among both museum patrons and art connoisseurs alike. Even though this system of earning money is not what the public would like to see, it is still essential to running the

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum showcases Mrs. Gardner 's collection to the public in greater Boston area. Each room functions as a pilgrimage, as one travels through various countries and time periods ending at the chapel and subsequently the Gothic room. In this paper, I will examine the Gothic room 's theme in relation to the placement of its objects. I will also evaluate the room 's strengths and challenges in serving the public, and how the practices employed in this room fit into the context of accessibility for the entire museum.
Museums are underrated in that no one really acknowledges how important they are in not only society, but also preserving the history of that society. The role of the museum is to materialize history by expanding what the textbooks depict and show the physical manifestation of the past. Without museums, the only portal society would have to envision the past would be through textbooks. In essence, this means that there would be no real way to physically see or feel history as the only method would be reading texts describing what they looked or felt like. However, it is obvious that the public does not see every single artifact, or units in which history is preserved.

The way in which the Romans unfairly treated the Celtic people, particularly the Iceni tribe and its royal family, whilst they were in rule was the main factor that contributed to Boudicca’s revolt against Roman rule. Elements of Rome’s abusive treatment of the Celtic people including their high taxation, disarmament order, land confiscation, forced conscription and other harsh treatments each enhanced the growing hostility between the tribes and Rome that encouraged the rebellion. This gave cause for a rebellion however it was specifically the betrayal of the Iceni tribe, with their land pillaged, the king’s will disregarded, their queen being flogged, and her daughters raped that provided the final spark needed for the revolt to occur. Hostility
The natural human response to a threatening situation is either fight or flight. Holden's first reaction to adulthood is to attempt and maintain a strategic distance from it by entering his own particular world where he is in control. In his novel, J.D. Salinger, uses various symbols such as, The Museum of Natural History, The Ducks in the Central Park Lagoon, and The Carousel's Gold Ring, to express the overall theme of his novel which is that growing up can be painful. The Museum of Natural History is one of the most vital symbols of the novel as it represents the state in which Holden desires two always be able to stay in, unchanging. The "museum" is a vital spot to Holden on the grounds that it is a spot where the typical "laws" of the
I watched “Babar à la ville”. In this episode, Babar tells his children of the time he ventured out of the forest and into the town. At first he was having fun playing with the children at the playground, but as he traveled farther into town, he was almost run over by careless people in cars and on foot. However, he did meet a nice old lady, who helped him cross the streets. In good spirits once again, Babar spotted mountains of fruit next to a grocery store.
Fredric Jameson argues that utopian space is “an imaginary enclave within real social space”, “[a] pocket of stasis within the ferment and rushing forces of social change” “within which Utopian fantasy can operate”. (2005: 15) That is, transitional political moments like revolutions allow for utopian enclaves to appear as the products of their unstable yet fertile social dynamics. These enclaves emerge outside of the space of pragmatic politics, as a corollary, imaginative space for constituting an emerging or possible community. The enclave is a space for “utopian figuration”, what Louis Marin uses to describe the emergence of figures unique to the particular community being imagined. Established through “utopian play” (Marin), these figures embody the imaginative possibilities of real social
Compare Christopher Columbus's letter to Santangel (1493) regarding the first voyage to his letter to Ferdinand and Isabella (1503) regarding the fourth voyage. Discuss the apparent differences in the motivation and purpose of each letter. Also discuss what the letters suggest about the relative value of kings and great cities, the power of Spanish explorers, or the relative importance of the "people without number" who already inhabit the islands. essay Columbus’s first letter talks about his successes and the lack of opposition from the inhabitants and how they fled immediately upon his arrival. Columbus sends out scouts to look for royalty or cities on the islands.
