Women And Girls Physical Attractiveness
641 words
I should start by saying that advertisers often
emphasize sexuality and the importance of physical
attractiveness in an attempt to sell products, but
researchers are concerned that this places undue
pressure on women and men to focus on their
appearance. In recent survey by Teen People
magazine, 27 % of the girls felt that the media
pressures them to have a perfect body, and a poll
conducted in 1996 by the international ad agency
Saatchi and Saatchi found that ads made women fear
being unattract...

the characteristics of medieval English literature
is its high allegorist. It also applies to the
whole European literature of Dark Ages, as well.

United States And The Twentieth Century
797 words
United States and the Twentieth Century The two
main dilemmas of democracy are following: 1) If
people are equal, why there is no even a slightest
practical proof of it, throughout the history? 2)
The assumption of people's equality contradicts
the most basic laws of natural selection, upon
which modern biology is based. Therefore, we can
talk of equality, as rather highly abstract
concept, which has nothing to do with the
realities of everyday life. In United States, we
are witnessing left-wing...

Philosophy of Art It is quite hard to argue about
what concept of art represents the true essence of
this socio-philosophical phenomenon in 3 pages
paper. It has to be kept in mind that historical
definitions of art are largely based on peoples
irrational predispositions. Nevertheless, we can
define four largely accepted concepts of art. The
first is classical one, when persons drive to
express itself is done thorough the means of art
and is described in divine terms. Leonardo De

a crisis of capitalistic state. Focusing on the

Postmodernism and Feminism Definitions of what
postmodernism is and how it is related to feminism
seem to vary with every citation. This taken into
consideration we may say that postmodernism is
simply what anyone wants it to be, changed to suit
their view on the matter. Perhaps that is what the
person who coined the phrase wanted it to be, an
entirely personal piece of art that is not
supposed to be interpreted by anyone else.
Therefore, a postmodern art critic would have to
be someone who inte...
