Star Spangled Banner Jimi Hendrix
1,204 wordsThe best guitarist, who is it? This is an argument that has been amongst many musicians for many years. But who is the hands down best guitarist? From my viewpoint the answer is obvious. Joe Satriani without a doubt is the best guitarist alive today and perhaps the best guitarist ever. I can already hear the responses from the crowd. What about Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, or perhaps Steve Vai and Eric Johnson? All of these players are good guitarists, but they are no...

Biography Of Vincent Van Gogh
1,330 wordsI'm not going to include a full biography of Vincent van Gogh since such information is easily enough obtained from the more traditional media (do people still visit libraries and book shops these days? ). As I mention on my References page, David Sweetman's Van Gogh: His Life and Art is an excellent biography and I would definitely recommend it. In addition, the chronology I include below gives a reasonable overview of the important events in the course of Vincent's life. For my own Van Gogh si...

Capital Punishment Bad Policy
1,252 words... There is no clear empirical support that says there is a lot of racial discrimination in the sentencing of those arrested and convicted for murder. Van den Haag does point out the unequal distribution of the death penalty when it comes to the race of the victim, however he says that this favors Blacks because those accused of a Black murder (which are usually Black) are more likely not to be put to death than are person who kills a white. These arguments seem to be very solid and to me are m...

20 Th Century Van Gogh
1,314 words... d so it speaks of manual labour, and how they have honestly earned their food'. In 1885 van Gogh moved to Antwerp on the advice of Antoine Mauve (a cousin by marriage), and studied for some months at the Academy there. Academic instruction had little to offer such an individualist, however, and in February 1886 he moved to Paris, where he met Pissarro, Degas, Gauguin, Seurat, and Toulouse-Lautrec. At this time his painting underwent a violent metamorphosis under the combined influence of Imp...

Radical Feminism Liberal Feminists
2,592 wordsIt can be said that the state is a category of abstraction that is too aggregative, too unitary and too unspecific to be of much use in addressing the disaggregated, diverse and specific (or local) sites that must be of most pressing concern to feminists. (Allen 1990) The difficulty of any theory of the state is an obvious one. The state is a generalization that is constantly shifting and redefining itself and the power paradigms that exist within it. Therefore, it is difficult to agree on an id...

19 Th Century Age Of Innocence
3,243 wordsEdith Wharton's books are considered, by some, merely popular fiction of her time. But we must be careful not to equate popularity with the value of the fiction; i. e. , we must not assume that if her books are popular, they are also primitive. Compared to the works of her contemporary and friend, Henry James, whose books may seem complex and sometimes bewildering; Wharton's The Age of Innocence appears to be a simplistic, gossipy commentary of New York society during the last decade of the 19 t...
