challenged with the grueling task of obliterating a wildfire that engulfs communities and destroys them from the inside. This wildfire, otherwise known as racism, and its adverse effects on countless lives are discussed in the articles “Black Men and Public Spaces” by Brent Staples and “Is Everyone a Little Bit Racist?” by Nicolas Kristof. These articles further clarify how racism has affected minorities, especially African Americans in the United States, and how people believe that they are not supremacists
These two essays mainly talk about the understanding of the painting A Bar at the Folies-Bergere by Edouard Manet. Also, both of them develop a deep understanding of a social term, which is called modernity, by viewing the painting A Bar at the Folies-Bergere. However, the authors of two readings have the totally different understandings of painting, besides, those different understandings also focus on women’s status in late nineteenth century. Griselda Pollock declaims that this painting represented
restrictions regarding subject matter and views, and lifestyle so drastically differing socially, individually, and economically between men and women. Pollock begins with the discussion of the concept of spaces, then moving forward to modernity and the public position or lack thereof, of women using an essay written by Charles Baudelaire. Griselda Pollock shows this fervor while stating her points in the article – giving the article this life to it not only through being detailed,
In the Essay “Probation and parole are good alternatives to incarceration” the author is stating that prisons are in a need to shut down because of alternatives to incarceration.

In this society I am a firm believer that a criminal should

Leading up to the Cholera epidemics the industrialization of Canadian cities such as Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto, accelerated urbanization as rural living Canadians and
In the story "Black Men and Public Space," Brent Staples, a black man, describes how a number of his public appearances have frightened and alarmed other civilians nearby, and how he had "the ability to alter public space in ugly ways" (536). Each occurrence he dealt with (a young woman terrified on a deserted street, the faint sound of car doors locking as he walks past an intersections, his workplace mistaking him for a burglar) resulted in an uncomfortable, threatening situation for his "victim(s)"
In this historiographical essay, I aim to discuss and bring forward issues dealing with the United States’ (U.S.) complex history between African-Americans and housing. Urban social policy and housing are intertwined into the fabric of American history. In the Twentieth-century, the New Deal policies and programs of the 1930s allowed the federal government to adopt wholesale changes to the existing urban landscape. Large-scale federal intervention in housing policy had positive effects and New Deal
This essay will mainly discuss about how the Balinese architecture developed through time since the past to the present days. The architecture built during different times and circumstances all tell a story, and it’s those “stories” that will be explored in this essay. If one looks closely enough, one can extract all those stories from each and every building block. Firstly, let’s start with the term “landscape”, the word semantically means a portion of area, of which is viewed at one time from
In this comparison essay, I will be pointing out the differences between “A Proposal to Draft America’s Elderly” and “Last Rites for Indian Dead.” The articles have many differences, but I have narrowed it down to four main points of each essay to base my argument on. This makes it easy to compare the differences of the two essays.
