Developed originally for family and friends, our ideas have been transformed into something greater. What started as mere exploration of shapes and patterns has been cultivated and refined into a line of both functional and nonfunctional artwork and home-décor. Initially crafted for use in the quintessential Italian kitchen, the fruits of our labor began to run wild amidst the horizon of innovation. Under careful guidance, all of the work is designed and produced by hand in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA utilizing eco-friendly materials as well as recycled materials when applicable.…

The excerpt we read of Kath Weston’s Exiles from Kinship. In Families We Choose: Lesbians, Gays, Kinship is a description of something immediate to my family. Weston describes the alienation of homosexual individuals within their own families and how generic family structures and values are different for homosexuals because of the low tolerance for that lifestyle that families sometimes have. The people described have to leave and find their own family or kinship groups to rely on for support instead of their nuclear, hereditary families solely because of their sexual orientation. My grandpa and grandma are strict Christians and extremely conservative in their values.…

Lithuanian immigration to North America was spurred by economic opportunity and political oppression. A large wave of immigrants came between 1880 and 1914, when an estimated 300,000 arrived. The Klem family was part of this wave of immigration, arriving sometime in the mid to late 1880s. They left their native Lithuania and made the long journey across the great oceans. Simon, along with his father Joseph, mother Mary, and brother Joseph made the journey together.…
In examining the reasons causing the tragedy of the Ung family after the Cambodian Genocide in 1975, one can assume that these reasons include economic breakdown (continuity of the Angkar trading crops for firearms), government collapse (changes in the soldiers’ behavior towards the villagers, continuity of Khmer Rouge killing villagers at Lo Reap), and the lack of social interactions (changes in communication within the village of Lo Reap).…
"Family dynamics is the term used for the way that families communicate and exist together. Every family has a distinct pattern of relating to one another, which can be positive or negative. (Rachel Olivia)." The dynamic is often influenced by certain aspects such as structure, dysfunction, and roles played by each member of the family. Therefore, the family dynamic of the charmer is opposite of the family dynamic of Brother dear.…

In her article “The Hellenistic Family,” Dorothy J. Thompson seeks to demonstrate the ways in which changes in the Hellenistic family structure mirrored and influenced overarching societal trends. Additionally, she endeavors to illuminate the limited usefulness of applying generalized family models to the diverse and multicultural environment of the post-Alexandrian Hellenistic world. Through her implementation of a variety of primary sources (i.e., histories, stone inscriptions, papyri, ect.), Thompson presents a balanced and enlightening depiction of the Hellenistic family, which is both firm in its claims and cognizant of its limitations. By assessing the general arch of Thompson’s argument, this review will seek to illuminate both the successes…
At the El Paso Museum of Art I saw many beautiful and wonderful paintings and sculptures but the “The Portrait” was the sculpture that caught my attention the most. “The Portrait” was sculpted by Frances Bagley an American artist born on April 7, 1946 in Fayetteville, Tennessee. Frances Bagley lives and works in Dallas, Texas. “The Portrait” was created in 1997 and it is made out of stainless steel and marble. I believe that “The Portrait” is an interesting piece of art because it resembles exactly what the title says. It is a portrait of a the artist or a portrait of woman. The sculpture has shape and contour which is the shape of a woman like in a night gown. The sculpture has mass. It also has texture because in the stainless steel you can see that is shine and smooth and the marble is not finish so you can see that is rough. It has color because even if the marble is rough it has different colors. It has proportion and scale in the part of the body from top to bottom as well it does have the proper scale to simulate a woman sitting down. “The Portrait” has design, unity, and aesthetic because the whole piece is appealing to eye since it resembles the shape of a woman with the different pieces of rough marble place inside of the stainless structure and even if the materials does not have a glamorous touch the sculpture does captivate the viewers attention because of its has beauty. But most important the portrait has content and iconography because the piece is portraying a woman that is always beautiful even in her simplest form and it also resembles the meaning that a woman has in society as a strong person because it gives life to their children and as the foundation of the family. In my opinion The Portray has the meaning of what a woman is. She is hard as stainless steel because she knows that she always have to be there as an inspiration for her family or her children. She…
For the History of the family Historians, the life cycle can give a larger look into the way individuals lived in previous periods from childhood to death. The life cycle may help find connections in which a person’s childhood caused certain behaviors in their adulthood or even their own child rearing methods. The life cycle is unique because it looks into the psychological and sociological aspect of individuals in the past. The life cycle can also help with understanding gender roles from certain time periods and how men and women were treated in the various phases. Historians can also look into certain issues that can affect the lifecycle at a certain age, such as divorce, pregnancies out of wed-lock and poverty. As well as the family life cycle and how the two coexist.…
My maternal grandmother, Kwun, was born in Fujian, China in 1919. Her rural community consisted mainly of farmers, and their society most resembled the clan family pattern where the hoe was the primary mode of production. In comparison to other residents of her town, she was raised in a relatively wealthy household; her parents were shopkeepers for a local tea business and field work was not required of her. However, she was still a productive member of society and contributed by taking care of the younger children in her family. Kwun’s household size varied while she grew up. She was the second oldest child out of four or five children, the exact number of her siblings is unknown since infant mortality was…
Lydia Maria Child makes a strong point when she speaks of how men objectify women in literature and base women’s value on how much the women’s beauty appeals to men. The objectification of women that Child speaks out against is quite apparent within the selected paragraph from James Fenimore Cooper’s work The Pioneers. Within just the description of Elizabeth that Cooper narrates from the viewpoint of Remarkable Pettibone, a reader will note the issues that Child mentions.…
La Sagrada Familia by Antonio Gaudí has made a momentous historical and cultural imprint on the city of Barcelona in Spain. After working on his ultimate masterpiece for 43 years, Gaudí died in 1926, leaving his unfinished monument to be fulfilled by future architects. Though the Basilica began its lengthy constructional history in 1882, it is to this day still in process of being completed. The Sagrada Familia Church was initially funded by the Spiritual Association of the Devotees of Saint Joseph, a group of distressed citizens that agree on the need for a new church devoted to the middle working class growing during an industrial expansion. Initially, the architect Francesc del Villar was commissioned to design the church but later resigned…
