In Albert Camus' book chapter "The Rebel," Camus defines rebellion is when a rebel experiences a feeling of having his or her rights being broken, they decide that enough is enough and stand up for herself/himself. In the scholarly article "Teaching about Civil Disobedience," written by J. Clark, Thomas Vontz, and Kristoffer Barikmo, they define civil disobedience as a nonviolent act to break an unjust law, to bring attention to some perceived injustice. The theories and definitions in these texts will be applied to the characters actions and intentions in Jonathan Kaplan film Over the Edge, as well as the actions and intentions of the Stonewall Riots and Montgomery Bus Boycott. From this analysis, in Kaplan's film rebellion and civil disobedience…

Entrepreneurship, Jeff Cornwall at Belmont University defined it as, “A process of identifying, evaluating, seizing an opportunity and bringing together the resources necessary for success.” (www.belmont.edu) There are a wide variety of risks when it comes to starting and running your own business, just some of them are: under capitalization, poor management, market misjudgment, and lack of planning. Two of these go hand – in – hand, lack of planning and under capitalization, and this due to improper planning. For example, when someone says “Just looking!” while searching for an item in a new store, you put yourself in a bad situation because your business is not completely laid out. How can you budget money? If you do get your business up and going should you hire employees…
Photorealism originated in the United States in the mid-1960s in the wake of the Vietnam War. It is an international art movement involving the precise reproduction of a photograph in paint or the replicating of real objects in sculpture. The name Photorealism (also known as Hyperrealism or Superrealism) was coined in reference to those artists whose work depended heavily on photographs, which they often projected onto canvas allowing images to be replicated with precision and accuracy. Photorealism complicates the concept of realism by successfully mixing together that which is real with that which is unreal to a degree not previously achieved prior to it. The exactness was often facilitated further by the use of an airbrush, which was originally designed to retouch photographs. Being entirely representational, photorealism art is a natural counter to contemporary abstraction. Therefore, their canvases remain distanced from reality, both literally and figuratively.…
The term Post-impressionism is used to describe late 19th century art that rejects the “capture-the-fleeting-moment” attitude of Impressionism and is characterized by bright colors and defined brushstrokes as opposed to the impasto approach of impressionists. Impasto is a technique in which paint is applied so thick onto the canvas that it stands out from the surface, creating a 3-D texture effect. The paint can be mixed on the canvas to achieve a desired color.…

The VARK Learning style assessment was developed by Neil Fleming in 1987 as a way to improve the development of teachers and to help students become better learners. The VARK inventory categorizes four different sensory modalities with an extra category for multimodal students (Marcy, 2001). The acronym VARK stands for visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic learning modalities. Visual learners are students who learn by seeing information displayed using graphs, pictures, or diagrams. Aural learners prefer to hear the information, and process it best by listening to lectures or having information read aloud. Learners that fall into the read/write category thrive on seeing written words, and do best when they take meticulous notes and read them over and over. And lastly, kinesthetic learners do best when the student is partaking in physical activity. These learners need to move around and work manually with ideas and thrive with hands on activities. The additional multimodal category consists of students who fall into more than one sensory modality of any combination (Nelson, 2013). The VARK inventory is one such tool that is easy to use and can give students information on how to maximize their learning. After completing the VARK questionnaire, my learning style was determined to be multimodal with preferred modalities in visual and kinesthetic.…
"While watching a silent picture each individual supplies the unspoken words according to his own understanding of the action. The dullard sees the story in his own way as does the intelligent, the wise, and so on-each one, as I said before, supplying his own understanding and everyone is pleased. But when the actor gives through the spoken word his own interpretation-then-well, there is bound to be disappointment." - Charlie Chaplin. (taken from http://www.public.asu.edu/~ialong/Taylor46.txt)Drawing on audiences from many foreign countries, The Tramp was a universally known character. This international recognition and success was due to Charlie Chaplin's conviction that dialogue was superfluous and constricting. Chaplin wanted the images and plot action in his films to be interpreted by the viewer without the influence of dialogue. He wanted this interpretation to be based on the body language of his characters and the images he created with the mise-en-scene, his cinematography and editing. Chaplin did not want his audience to be restricted in their comprehension by imposing his own interpretation of his work through dialogue. Chaplin wanted silence.…
