in honor and praise of the kings prosporous and happy family life. Location (Where is it now?)—The piece is currently located in Agyptisches Museum. Medium and Technique—The artist sculpted this relief in painted limestone, 12.25 ft long by 15.75 feet wide.============== In terms of subject, what the relief shows is a detailed image of Akhenaten and his family, sitting under the Sun God, Aten, who blesses the family. The family’s three children are held by their parents, each sitting on thrones.

The Stele of Naram-Sin was erected in the courtyard of the temple of the sun god Shamash in Sippar during the reign of Naram-Sin circa 2254-2218 BCE. Conveying the Akkadian ruler’s deified authority and military prowess, this imperial stele proudly celebrates the triumph of Naram-Sin over the Lullubi people of the Zagros Mountains. The stele towers at an impressive height of over 6’6” (1.98 m) made completely of pink limestone. The stele’s physically larger than life size emphasizes its importance

Ashurnasirpal II and the Winged Deity The relief, consisting of five panels, functions not only as a religious representation, but also imposes the king’s supreme power and portrays his importance. Stone Panel in Bas-relief, Ashurnasirpal and a Winged Deity once lined the inner walls of the Northwest Palace of King Ashurnasirpal II at Nimrud. Located, on the Tigris River in northern Iraq, Nimrud was the capital of Assyria during Ashurnasirpal II’s reign. The bas-relief visually communicates its message to

In “Famine, Affluence, and Morality,” Peter Singer argues that some morally good actions, such as donating to relief funds and charitable organizations, should be duties. His argument is as follows: 1) Suffering and death are bad, whether from starvation, lack of shelter, or insufficient medical care. (P1) 2) We are morally obligated to prevent bad things from happening if we are able to do so and we would not sacrifice anything morally equivalent in the process. (P2) 3) Suffering and death in

hunger. The next article is also social constructionism because the article shows how food programs and government officials have not conquered famine or fit the problem in Africa. Baro and Deubel (2006) looks at how famine has stayed the same or even increased in Africa because of government officials and the World Food Program. For example, in Sudan, food relief piled up, because of the lack of transportation the cities had. (Baro, Deubel,2006, p. 532). Also, when food aid arrives, the aid is dropped

Famines, in many cases, affect populations disproportionately, with some ethnicities facing worse conditions than other parts of the populace. This reality is rooted in the country’s social dynamics and the human construct of divisions between groups of people. Minority groups are discriminated against, and that usually resulted in them having the least amount of access to food in times of famine, as was experienced by marginalized peoples in Somalia. The two minority clans that were the most disproportionately

1.Introduction Within the essay “Famine, Affluence, and Morality”, Peter Singer offers a new way of seeing the relationship among this three elements, which is extremely different from the traditional understanding of charity, famine relief, morality, etc. It seems that Peter Singer put our position much closer and more related to the situation when facing problems such as famine and poverty and he redraw the distinction between duty and charity which takes more charity as duty. In order to illustrate

essay will explore the causes and effects of the Irish Famine of 1845, which had great contribution to the decline in Irish population in the nineteenth century. It is based on the accounts of the Irish famine of 1845, written by Cecil Woodham-Smith and Mary E. Daly. Both authors give special attention to the population growth during the pre-famine years, regarding it as an aggravating factor contributing to the devastating power of the famine; however, they focus on distinct events and facts as for

without sacrificing morally significant (Singer, 1972). It is clear then that moral autonomy to pursue one’s own interests is something that can constitute moral significance. An individual is morally free not to devote themselves full time to prevent famine. It is important to make a distinction between the freedom to pursue one’s own interests and the freedom of wasting resources on excessive luxuries. Singer concedes there is no justification for the purchasing of stylish new clothes as any benefit

000 people died in this disaster (Forcing Back Famine page 2). In 2010, a famine struck in Somalia. The food shortages have been going on since then. As a result, thousands are starving and becoming malnourished. It will continue if nothing is done. This famine has harmed human beings and has put them under stress. Thus, they have little food and are experiencing many hardships. The food security in Somalia has dropped substantially due to a famine that has caused thousands to die from starvation

unquestionable at first glance; however, with further examination, Singer utilises arguments which, in my opinion, are weak and fundamentally impractical. It should also be noted that Singer himself does not follow his own principles as discussed in “Famine, Affluence and Morality” and his New York Times article, “The Singer Solution to Global Poverty”, contributing to the argument that his principles are impractical. In order to be methodical and fair, I will structure this essay in the following manner:

They did not want to potentially lose touch with their way of living and the resources their lands possessed. The First Nations people had requested that the government aide their people with agricultural assistance, as well as help during times of famine, and pestilence. The Canadian Government was also asked if they could assist them with modern medicines. This lead to the creation of the medicine chest. Therefore these few aspects have allowed Aboriginal people to become part of something larger

from 2.5 million (1987) to 7.85 million (1992), and in the current drought emergency it stands at 7.7 million. Food aid deliveries to Ethiopia averaged 11% of national cereals production - or 12kg per capita - between 1985 and 1995, peaking at 26% in famine years (Clay et al. 1998:393). Ethiopia has been structurally food deficit since at least 1980. The food gap rose from 0.75 million tons in 1979/80 to 5 million tons in 1993/94, falling to 2.6 million tons in 1995/96 despite a record harvest (Befekadu

people to have their civil rights and manage their own lives. They were initially founded in the UK in Oxford at 1942 and since then have expanded globally and been a huge success. History In 1942, during World War II, the famine relief (Oxfam) set up a supply of vital relief for civilians in Belgium and Greece because of the blockade of Europe. By 1943, Oxfam had raised a staggering amount of £10,700 which is equivalent to £370,000 in current money. By 1945, Oxfam launched a European campaign called

inevitable that food scarcity will soon become a global pandemic; as many more universities are teaching their students about the impact that food insecurity is having on the ever growing populations of the world, but especially in Africa where drought and famine are almost becoming a norm of life as millions struggle to simply survive. What is food security? Or more importantly what is food insecurity, and what can be

The Impact of Technology on the Fashion Industry The fashion industry has been a creation of the modern age. Before the 19th Century the majority of clothing was custom made. Hand crafted work was more common for those that could afford it. Clothing was hand made for individuals who met the expense of dressmakers and tailors. However technology today has allowed for a progression in the fashion industry. Three dimensional printing and digital printing has replaced many hand techniques allowing

happened in baseball history. Roberto Clemente’s death consists of many unhappy events. The cause of his death was a plane crash in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This event occurred in 1972 on New Years eve. He was on the plane to help with earthquake relief after an earthquake in Puerto Rico near his hometown. After the tragedy and to this day, Roberto Clemente’s body was never recovered after the crash. The death of Clemente led to another part of his

The Irish Famine of 1849 to 1852 was a catastrophic event in Irish history that wiped out a quarter of Ireland’s population. Ireland was the most densely populated country in Europe at the time, with a population of eight million in 1845. This population mainly consisted of Irish Catholics, who were discriminated against by the English. This discrimination led the Irish to have very little rights and say in the matters of their own lives. The land system gave wealth to the landowners, and some to

Playwright Tennessee Williams once said “a symbol in a play has only one legitimate purpose which is to say a thing more directly and simply and beautifully than it could be said in words”. He seems to take his own advice to heart when writing such a thought provoking play as A Streetcar Named Desire. While Williams makes extensive use of symbols in Streetcar, the use of animals and animal-like characteristics as a symbol are constantly used to define Stanley Kowalski’s character and convey his desires
