The Seven Deadly Sins By Joseph Bosch
Bosch was born in Hertogenbosch, Brabant (now known as the Netherlands), around 1450. He was a northern European spiritual painter of the late Middle Ages and his work utilizes striking and seemingly surreal iconography including his famous art piece The Seven Deadly Sins (Mitchell, Dalton; 2013). Throughout his career, he used his art to portray the sins and quarrel of humankind and to show the consequences of these actions, which directly links to the meaning of Apocalypses or revelation. Known for his dark and disturbing visions, Bosch took a critical look at the world around him, which he incorporated in his several works, which include the most famous Seven Deadly Sins and and Four Last Things. Bosch was known for letting his imagination

    Guns, Germs And Steel, By Jared Diamond

    The article, Guns, Germs and Steel, written by Jared Diamond, is an argument about how and why things happened differently in history in different continents. It’s about looking deeper into why things happened the way they did. Why did western Eurasian societies become more powerful? What enabled these parts of the world to develop more quickly and in turn be able to conquer less developed societies around the world? The important message to grasp from this article is not about how certain continents or areas becoming developed quicker, but why those specific areas were the ones to develop quicker. An example of this that Diamond discusses, is how New Guineans were still living in the “Stone Age” 200 years ago when Europeans came to New Guinea with materials (called cargo) that were very valued. The question was, why did the people of New Guinea have a scarce amount of cargo when the white Europeans had so much of it? (page 14)…

    Christian, Fall, And Redemption By Angela M. Sabates

    The birth of a child seems natural to the physicians that help with the delivery process. Yet, religious midwives believe that it is a natural miracle caused by God. Unlike naturalist, the Christian, Fall, and Redemption (CFR) approach adopts the Godly and natural view. According to author Angela M. Sabates, the naturalist approach is that reality compromises material substances, and the immaterial (God, soul, mind) either does not exist or is irrelevant to an empirical investigation because it cannot be measured. The unseen is a hoax that cannot be proven real. Evidently, the reality of naturalism consists of observable facts and solid material explanations. Life origin, the purpose of life, self-seeking tendencies, fundamental need for…

    The primary topic of chapter one in “A People’s History Of The United States” by Howard Zinn is the viewpoint of history through the eyes of the Indians during the time of the discovery of the Americas.

    Pieter Bruegel The Elder Analysis

    Unlike the previous High Renaissance artists would idealize their artwork to go beyond human potentials, The Harvesters which was one of Bruegel’s most famous paintings, showed a lot of abstraction by the figures being distorted and simplified especially when it came down to his peasant subjects to possibly show how poor and uneducated they were. Based on the type of art technique he used, Bruegel must have also been originally influenced by Hieronymus Bosch’s alchemist paintings since many art historians would compare his artwork to Bosch’s imagery paintings and would eventually call him the Second Bosch of the Northern Renaissance. Examples of Bosch’s influence on his earlier drawings for the Four Winds publishing house were The Seven Deadly Vices. Bruegel integrated the fantastic imagery of Bosch into the series by having every figure dominated by each sin which was in a form of a woman. He also had his seven female sins follow the traditional standards of iconography. In contrast to the pleasant landscapes that Bruegel painted later on in his career, he created hellish landscapes that surrounded the figures in order to show each sin and its consequence since Bosch was also a religious man who warned his viewers about the consequences of their sinful actions. Out of all of the deadly sins, the Allegory of Lust was the most heavily Bosch inspired artwork since it was possible that Bruegel could have studied more in detail of Bosch’s hell panel of the Garden of Earthly…

    Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the Seven Deadly Sins

    In Douglas Adams's novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect traverse an imperfect galaxy plagued by a lack of individuality. In The Seven Deadly Sins Today, Henry Fairlie ventures that this galactic epidemic correlates to the transmission of immorality throughout the world. Douglas Adams utilizes satire and characterization to demonstrate how the human condition is flawed. Furthermore, Henry Fairlie calls upon the archetypal seven deadly sins to criticize human banality. Collectively, Adams's wittiness and Fairlie's bitterness encourage the reader to exercise one's identity. First, Douglas Adams satirizes modern society to delineate the blemishes that chafe the face of humankind. Next, characterization indicates that every person battles against their fait accompli; however, some fight with more ferocity than others. Lastly, Henry Fairlie rancorously acknowledges the seven deadly sins to portray the world's sinful commonalities. Ultimately, the authors of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Seven Deadly Sins Today accentuate a person's obligation to rise from the stereotypical to the atypical.…
