Her analysis suggests that it is the knowledge and acceptance of otherness what helps the relationship between two different races achieve new evolutionary level of social and biological symbiosis. Hardy argues that in order to understand the complex relationship between both species and the psychological impact that it has on both of them, the readers must first examine complex Talic and Terran’s arrangement. She opens her essay quoting Butler’s afterword to “Bloodchild” where Butler presents the picture of the utopian society. According to Butler, Hardy says, humans will eventually encounter an alien live form and they will have to make certain adaptations and unusual sacrifices in order to survive and preserve humanity. In “Bloodchild” Butler speaks of the adolescent boys carrying the eggs of insect aliens as the part of agreement between both species.
The Contrast and Influence of Michelangelo and Da Vinci Charity Alexander ART 101: Art Appreciation Mrs. Willis February 08, 2013 The Contrast Page 1 In a world where the art of the past is considered to influence both the past and the future artists of the age, one would be remised to not include an examination of the works of Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo. These two artists greatly influenced the art and artists of the 16th century in Italy and Europe. Their works have been examined and used as examples of various techniques and subject matters. The first set of works to examine would be that of Michelangelo’s Leda and the Swan and Da Vinci’s Lady with the Ermine. In Michelangelo’s Leda and the Swan, the subject matter is the story of how Zeus, a Greek god, took the form of a swan and seduced Leda, who then gave birth to two children of Zeus, Helen and Polydeuces.

Tell us how you expect that your better understanding of this factor will influence your perceptions of others in the future, after a little more searching of the strip mall. I figured we should take a look in the professional office building just to make sure it was or wasn’t located on one of the five floors. Sure enough the building had suites labeled in their directory. I had based my decision to enter the professional office building by stereotyping. Seeing that we were looking for a business suite why not look in a business office building on the chance of accomplishing what we had set-out to accomplish.
How do Frankenstein and Blade Runner reflect and challenge key issues that transcend time? Texts reflect social, economic and historical contexts, however, they are also able to go beyond the boundaries of their time and context and this can be demonstrated through Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus (1819) as well as Blade Runner: The Directors Cut (1992, Warner Bros) Ridley Scott. Composed during the Industrial Revolution and a period of radical scientific experimentation, Shelley typifies the Romantic and Gothic Movement as she criticizes her enlightened society for playing god. In turn, Ridley Scott, through Blade Runner, reflects upon the dominance of capitalism and technological advancement within the late 20th century. Elements that are transcendent of time include science and technology, Christianity, monstrosity vs. humanity and creation and creators.
It differentiates them from other life forms in that humans display an awareness and emotional response to life as part of their intrinsic nature, which forms part of the natural rhythms of life. The dystopic stance of the texts warns the audience of the dangers of humans passively accepting and being defined by technological progress and thus, in the words of William Blake, subjecting themselves to "psychic slavery". The composers, through the settings of their texts, offer views of highly technologically progressed societies with spiritual emptiness on one hand; and primitive societies with pre-technological misconceptions and values on the other. Despite the different time periods in which the texts were composed, these binary opposite worlds reveal the composers’ concerns about the social dislocation of humans due to violations of their free will to choose to live between these extremes and exist in a natural state of humanity. The environment of the World State in Huxley's Brave New World illustrates the insanity of technological advancement for the simple reason that "progress is lovely".

The places people live, work, play, and get well all have an effect on how they react to the environment. Jonas Salk (1914-1995) believed whole heartedly in this cause and effect concept; his belief is demonstrated in the Salk Institute. The design of the Salk institute is a memorial to his time in the Assisi Monastery. He was so profoundly affected that he even gave credit to the architectural monastery for inspiring the creation of the polio vaccine (Athens, 2009). Since Salk’s personal discovery scientist and behavioral specialist have considered the connection between behavior and architecture.
___________________________________________________ The High-Modernist City: An experiment and a critique This essay is a criticism of urban planning and creation of a High-Modernist city. In the first section we take a look into the utopian project of the creation of a city according to Le Corbusier. The utopian project has some of the following features: There is a visual order and aesthetic order, on the principles of architecture.
