Analyzing Art in the Northern Renaissance I agree with Sayre on how he interprets Arnolfini. He views it as an illustration of an engagement (Sayre, 2013). This is informed by the fact that they have joined hands in the portrait. This, he interprets as a sign of the promise to be wed. Another reason that makes this interpretation to be more persuasive is the manner […]

Until a reality has been thrust upon you, you cannot really comprehend the exact depth of it. As a person with full function of all their mental faculties and limbs, you cannot really begin to imagine what it would be like to live without those. Most people rarely even think about at all.

Colorblindness is a racial ideology that posits treating individuals equally regardless of their race, ethnicity, or culture (Banks, 2012).  At face value, most people believe that it is the best way to end racial discrimination. Unfortunately, in today’s diverse society, it is important to acknowledge and celebrate cultural and ethnic differences. With this knowledge, we analyze whether the colorblind perspective can be applied in other […]

We have all loved and lost. It is devastating. At that moment, one feels like they will never be whole again. One is only comforted by the thought that love will come knocking again. It is wonderfully strange that the hope for eternal love never quite fades. Even one is jaded and shredded, they still hope.  Kevin Hollingsworth has penned poems about the loves he […]
