The Ottoman and Mughal empires both used Islam in their culture, economy, wars, and society. It influenced their art, the way they treated non-Muslims, their motivations for war. It is important to note that both empires were influenced differently by their majority religion. However, both the Ottomans and Mughals were heavily influenced as Islam was a major part of everyday life from the art to the bureaucracy.
Hence with her appearance, Elphaba relates very well with the audience. Skin colour is a physical attribute to one’s
One movie that I enjoyed due to the production design is Avatar. The production design team did a wonderful job of illustrating what life was like on the planet, Pandora, from the creators such as the dragons and the planet life. The designs that I really enjoyed were the scenes displaying the Tree of Souls. Another film with wonderful production designs is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
The Wicked Witches of Oz correspond to the major corporations during the election of 1896. The Wicked Witch of the East is the ruler of the eastern land of Oz. She is the equivalent to the real worlds banks. Because of her wickedness a house was dropped on her leaving “her two feet, still sticking out from under a block of wood.” (Baum).
The twentieth century marked a major shift in power. European Empires began to weaken the development of independent states began. Specifically, the fall of the Ottoman Empire left nations like Turkey scrambling to find a national identity and British control over the East India Company was beginning to weaken by the 1930’s. During this time, people began to debate what the true definition of a modern society was. As seen in Iqbal’s poetry, “Revolution” and “Europe and Syria” and Kemal’s “Speech to the Congress of the People’s Republican Party,” in order for a society to truly be modern we must disregard our current mindset that either strictly disregards religion or strictly follows it.
This “curiosity for all things from the Orient” also manifested itself in transculturation, where “many” Britons transformed themselves into Muslims. This speaks to the level of interest in the way of the Ottomans, that some went so far as to change everything in their lives. Nabil Matar notes that “members of the lower classes who adopted Islam … saw no religious or cultural divide between them and the Other that they could not easily and willingly cross.” There is no better example of Britain’s curiosity about Islam and the Middle East than this - people that changed themselves to be an “Other” in their own land, and this curiosity would continue over time as
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, written by John Boyne is about a boy named Bruno and his friend Shmuel. Bruno’s father is a Nazi soldier and Shmuel is one of the Jewish people in the concentration camps. Bruno and Shmuel are separated by an electric fence. They both meet each other in the same spot everyday when they can and bruno sometimes bring food for Shmuel. Shmuel was in the house
The novel, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne is about a young German boy named Bruno who moves due to his father promotion to becoming a Commandant (level in the military), to a concentration camp. In what I’ve read thus far, I think the most significant part is when Bruno describes the people in the camps: “[everyone was] wearing the same clothes as each other: a pair of grey striped pajamas with a grey striped cap on their heads” (38 Boyne). Bruno does not comprehend the situation as he describes the people in the camps as “other children [who did not look] at all friendly” (26 Boyne). Since the book is being written in third person limited, it puts the reader in a position in which they have to infer what is truly going on; not
Discrimination and are problematic parts of our culture tangled within the American history. For the majority of U.S. citizens these parts of our culture die out after the civil rights movement, but for the ethnic minorities this is far from the truth. These ugly aspects of our culture that once thrived in the shadows praying poor and minorities, has recently had light shed on it with event of the few years. The racial tension being made worst with statements being made by republican presidential front Donald Trump, saying we should ban Muslims from the country. These open discriminatory statements can have devastating effect the Muslim communities and our country as a whole.
The use of certain colors associated with clothing in a film can help tell a story, show a character 's journey or who they are to the story, and it helps communicate ideas to the audience. In Guy Ritchie’s film, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, the battle between good and evil is represented by light colors like white, tan, or light brown and black in clothing, but when using magic, the characters who represent “good” have blue, gold, and silver accents while “evil” characters have red, orange, and black accents. Colors can have a powerful effect on the audiences’ understanding of the story. According to Richard La Motte, the “real story” of a movie is “not in the dialogue or in the setting but in the theme, which is what all the visual and audible information expresses and reveals” (La Motte 1). Colors and Camera angles can help the audience understand more about the character’s feelings and where the story is taking place.
The amount of stories, comments and news articles I have come across based on Muslim discrimination, due to being Muslim, is very concerning. Since the September 11 World Trade Center attacks, media and society in America seem to perceive all Muslims as extremists and enemies. The majority of Muslims have been forced to live in fear of being judged or discriminated against because of their faith. This essay will explore the damage exerted on Muslims as a result of the September 11 attacks and how they have struggled to live in a society that appears to despise them. It will be discussed that Muslims in America face discrimination and danger through violence and vandalism due to their
This type of criticism has lead to the discrimination of cultures and races in the United States. With the recent terrorist attacks occurring around the United States, it has only strengthened the stereotype against Muslims. These actions
Disney’s portrayal of culture and race in their fairy-tale love stories had often led to backlash and criticism due to racist elements. It’s not a new concept the Disney films have poorly represented the experiences of people of color. As far as Disney Princesses are concerned, the women of color tend to be far less prominent than their Caucasian counterparts. The movie Aladdin (1992) showcases an Arabian princess Jasmine, the first women of color among the Disney princesses. They marketed the movie to people “of all races” devising “Brown” as a monolith to represent all Middle Eastern, South Asian, Black and Latin experiences, which obviously came with some heavy backlash as it shows negative stereotypical imagery and lyrics.
Enchanted The movie Enchanted is a self-parody that plays homage to former Disney films. It focuses on Giselle, a princess who is sent away from her animated world of Andalasia, by an evil queen, to the action-packed city of New York. In the movie, director Kevin Lima utilizes different camera movements to invite the audience in and reveal details about the movie’s plot. Through the use of traditional animation and various camera movements, Lima was able to perfectly complement the film’s narrative to the visual story-telling.
The spread of Islam had been exceptional since widespread conversion in Southeast Asia started in the 13th century. As Islam continues to grow in present times, it potentially holds great political power over unlimited territory; Islam may eventually hold vast power over our society. Hence, this paper aims to discuss the use of Islam as a political tool and the use of politics in Islam using Indonesia as a key reference. As the process of Indianisation was concluded with the coming of Islam, the cultural heritage of Hinduism is reduced, and eventually, Hinduism will become heritage.
