In general, many believe that Dada was not art, it was anti-art. For everything that art stood for, Dada was to represent the complete opposite. Where art suppose to have a meaning to it, Dada art was absolutely meaningless. During the first world war, Dada was a way to express the confusion that was felt by many people as their world was turned upside down. Lets take the most famous Dada artists Marcel Duchamp for example.
“Dulce et decorum est” and “Who’s for the game?” In comparing the two war poems by Jessie Pope and Wilfred Owen I have analysed the ways they have presented war. The poems have very different opinions on the Great War, “Dulce et decorum est “is against the war and the injustice of it all whereas “Who’s for the game”, is a recruitment poem. At the time Jessie wrote ‘Who’s for the game’ she couldn’t do any research on the war, due to the media and propaganda, also with being a women with no experience in the war it was hard for her to know the harsh reality. ‘Who’s for the game’ was written with the intent of trying to enlist more men for the war as Pope believed that all men should stand up and fight for their country. However ‘Dulce et decorum est’ has a different view on war, it was written in response to ‘Who’s for the game’ and it was written to show Jessie Pope and the rest of the public that war isn’t at all glorious and it’s not patriotic to fight for their country, both poems have used metaphors and pronouns to portray these ideas.
Propaganda is everywhere. Whether we like to admit it or not, people today are constantly bombarded with messages aimed at either changing their views or reaffirming the "proper" ones according to the propagandist. Good and bad are not intrinsic to propaganda, as it can be used to nearly any end. For example, All Quiet on the Western Front is a strongly anti-war film based on a novel of the same name. It's message, condemning the horrors of The Great War and war in general, was effective enough that both the book and the film were banned in Germany during the Third Reich.
Carla Rubalcava Bean Humanities 105 June 8, 2015 The Revolutionary Eras of Communication Discussing and learning about the eras of human communication really expanded my opinions on communication itself. Learning about each of the eras has allowed me to appreciate how far we have come with communication today. I think that it is important to acknowledge that each of the eras; oral, written, print, electronic, and digital, is significant in their own manner which would eventually lead to our current stance as a human population. The first, and what I believe is the most influential and important, is the oral era of communication. Everything that was ever told in history was passed down through oral stories.
As there are two sides to a coin, there are two groups of believers- one that supports pacifism, and the other that does not. The basic principle of Pacifism is mainly to oppose the idea and act of war and violence completely. The ideology stems from the severity and moral derogation of war, where violence is used to take away or injure innocent lives, deeming it to be morally incorrect. With this thread of thought comes the inevitable conclusion that violence is never justified. Truthfully, violence has never been a concept that could be morally justified.
For example, the Mass Observation team picked up that people didn’t feel safe using the government shelters. However, instead of making the shelters better, they did a propaganda campaign advertising how good the shelters were. One of the ways of controlling what the people of Britain knew and didn’t know was censorship. The government banned anything that would demoralise the public, or get people to think in a negative way; they didn’t print anything that would make people feel as if they were being defeated. Many photographs and stories were not published until after the Blitz had ended.
Despite one of its main purpose being to prevent the outbreak of war, it was useless and did nothing to prevent the outbreak of World War 2. This was due to it having no military force of its own. America, one of the major powers, did not support it. France and Britain the other major powers also did nothing to stop. The League did nothing except protest against Germany’s past aggressive behavior and Japan and Mussolini’s invasion.
When they won the French and Indian War, England had to make a few reforms. King George III declared the Proclamation of 1763, which forbid American colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains in an effort the stabilize relations with the Native Americans. However this angered many colonists who had land grants there and in turn, the Proclamation Line was ignored. This was the start of a series of disagreements between the two lands, as the American citizens began to gain a stronger taste for independence. Enlightenment writers such as John Locke, who patented the idea that it
An example of these was the non importation movement. In this movement, Americans stopped buying goods from the British goods as a protest against stamp tax. This action was not defiant in nature and did not call for punishment from the British government. On the contrary, it put a lot of pressure on the government and forced it to react by repealing the stamp act (Greene & Pole, 2004). Violent reactions were, therefore, not effective as they received violent reaction from the government and did not bring the desired change to the colonists.
Why was there a Civil War Between King Charles I and Parliament The English civil war made a big change to the countries history. It was Charles I VS Parliament. Charles was happy with his rules but parliament weren’t. So his parliament turned against him and started the civil war. Who, what when why that’s what we want to know.
