The principles of leadership in the Greek Society involved a concept known as ar’te, which served as a basic depiction of masculinity in back then.

Ar'te basically contains four parts--courage, honor, virtue, and manliness.Read more…The Color Purple - the Color of Race and Gender

“Mending Wall” seems to be a straightforward poem about the relationship between two neighbors repairing a useless wall; but despite t it’s unsophisticated appearance, the poem contains many interesting metaphors.The main action is two neighbors fixing a rock wall.

Where The Girls Aren’t by Jerry Saltz: The programmatic exclusion of women is partly attributable to the art world’s being a self-replicating organism: It sees that the art that is shown and sold is made mainly by men, and therefore more art made by men is shown and sold. This is how the misidentification, what Adorno called a “negative system,” is perpetuated. I have been watching the trends on this with alarm, it is a true fact that women are under-represented in the art industry.Read more…Tracing the Origin of Ancient Sumerians

Dialogue between characters in Pinter's plays can often seem enigmatic, and its purpose obscure, but it becomes less so when we realise that as often as not a battle is taking place between the characters, and that identifiable strategies are being employed. I would like to consider some of those battles, particularly in The Caretaker, The Homecoming, Old Times, and No Man's Land, in the light of Pinter's short story The Examination, which depicts an archetypal Pinter battle.The ExaminationFrom a reading of The Examination I suggest that the person wishing to gain and maintain a dominant position must:1) Ensure that his opponent is playing the same game, accepting the same parameters of the situation as himself.Read more…Russian Attitudes Toward Money

Traditionally, human society is considered to be one of the most developed forms of self-organization of alive beings but, unfortunately, very often it may be a very cruel and evil. It seems to be strange but, probably, the most severe people are in relation to outcasts of the society among which we can find those who differ from others by their social position, material wealth or even by poor condition of health. In other words, poor or handicapped people may be thrown beyond margins of the social group.Read more…Sir Tom Stoppard, the Early Plays - Jumpers
