Foreign policy is important because it has a lot to do with the trade, technology, and communications of the United States. Also by nations working together global problems can be fixed easier. Equal rights are important to the U.S because it shows that everyone has the same rights including: black people, white people, Asian, men and woman, ect. A bad president would make the economy go down, not believe in equal rights and have a bad foreign policy. The best president in U.S history I believe is Abraham Lincoln.
Art was a crucial aspect of expressing Renaissance ideas. Italian sculptors, painters, and architects in particular did a fantastic job of communicating Renaissance concepts in their artwork. Three of the most central humanistic beliefs during this period of time were the appreciation of the individual, the emphasis on the real rather than the abstract, and the imitation of past civilizations. The sculpture “David”, by Italian artist Michelangelo, is an excellent example of the humanistic emphasis on appreciating the individual and dignifying the human kind. Michelangelo depicts David as a strong, godlike figure, emphasizing the size of his hands and feet.
These people are called humanist. Many people believe that Ancient Greece is just famous for the movie “Hercules” and those columns on the White House. The truth is, that if the Ancient Greeks didn’t accomplish as much as they had, then life today would be drastically altered. The Greeks are a huge part of our culture, customs, and government. The Ancient Greeks are the most significant to western culture because of its creation of different types of government, ideas on philosophy, and the impact of Hellenistic culture.
When looking at the history of art and painting, many revolutions and movements are focused around Europe and its artists. Although the majority of the art history is traced back to European art, the artistic movements that were happening in Europe were not limited to European soil. Many painters in America were influenced by Romanticism, and Thomas Cole was one of those painters. Although Thomas Cole was anything but a simple American painter; he conveyed European culture to America and was a large contributor to the development of American heritage. A leading light and a bridge between generations of artists, Thomas Cole and his art were a strong foundation from which the future of American landscape painting would be built.
I chose to do my museum report on three selected pieces from Sacramento’s Crocker art museum. There were two specific reasons that I chose this museum, first was that I wanted to see what beautiful art our city was holding in side these historical walls. The second was that I remember going to this particular museum when I was younger and wanted to see if it felt the same after taking this class and actually being able to look at art in a new way. My experience was so great It was like walking into the past, who knew of all the history paintings could show. The first piece of art I analyzed was Swabian Hamlet after a Rain by Christian Friedrich Mali.
The Renaissance period from 1400-1590 was considered the beginning of the modern age by historians. The Renaissance meaning "rebirth of" is the rebirth of ancient Roman and Greek art and architecture. Its birth place was Florence, a wealthy merchant town in Italy. It made sense that this would be the center of great ideas and art as wealth was needed to build the cathedrals elaborately decorated by great artists. Wealthy citizens commissioned specific art for both secular and religious projects.
He ultimately succeeded in his push to transform the system when he passed Medicare and Medicaid, and increased federal funds for research. One last major contribution of President Johnson’s to this era of liberalism was his education reforms. These acts increased college enrollments, provided students the option of a federal college student loan and expanded research at universities. They also served to enhance integration, since funds were not provided for segregated schools. To conclude, President Johnson set the stage for a period of immense federal reform and a shared sense of equality for the American people – a pinnacle of liberalism.

Similar to the ideal of our Nation, to increase education and accessibility to all, for our country is better when more people get degrees as our company is. To have any real sustainability as a company, education is a primary factor in the success, not just for the elite few, but also for the masses.
