2. The Uncanny: Discuss Freud’s essay on horror as it relates to the libido theory in general and/or the theory of “primary narcissism.” You may also focus your discussion of the essay on Freud’s interpretation of The Sandman: how does your reading of Hoffmann’s story support or expand Freud’s interpretation?

Narcissism by Freud
Introduction
Freud came up with a plethora of theories just before enacting the Narcissism theory and
ideology. Some of the issues addressed before coming up with the above theory included works
on dreams and the unconscious mind for that matter. Freud then concentrated on three vital
psychodynamic analysis narrowing down to the id, the ego, and the super-ego. The development
in each stage represented the very existence of human sexual desires from childhood to their
adult being. Conversely, the author never considered the id while analyzing narcissism as a
concept/theory. On the flipside, he emphasizes the existence of the various parts of the mind in
addition to introducing self -control mechanisms guiding the precepts of the theory for that
matter. Even though Freud uses clinical terminology throughout the explanation of the
Narcissism theory, it is vital to critically analyze the super-ego concept entailed in the method, in
addition to examining the mind bits, then it is essential that homosexuality as explained by the
theory also gets scrutinized.
Freud's take on Narcissism and the surrounding ideologies
Freud takes great interest in defining the narcissism concept as he believes and
distinguishes from all other concepts studied in his psychology class. He defines narcissism as a
concept that involves one adoring themselves in line with them being objects of sexual desire for
that matter. The author then goes ahead to provide two forms of narcissism- the primary
narcissism and the secondary narcissism. An explanation/description for primary Narcissism
points to the fact that all humans have some narcissism through their stages of development. So,
primary Narcists presents itself amongst all, especially at birth. Here, the affected shows some

informal assessment
hi hennryproffesor, For the last assignments I had two questions and you already helped me with one. Thank you. I didn't post question below since it required me to watch video of informal assessment process and to describe my own interest and any insight. Well, I did that and now I would like to you if possible to read what I wrote and again, if possible bring it to conformity with your style of writing since I do not want two answers to be much different in style. Since I already wrote a lot I will put $10 as price for this assignment but I will have lot more homework in a future for you. Question 5B: The video shows the counselor, Andrea, going through an informal assessment process with her client, Bud. You will go through the same process for this question describing your own interests and any insights you might have obtained in doing this exercise. I watched video clip and first thing that came into my mind is that I am little bit old/late for informal assessment. However, I followed the same process from the clip and tried to answer all of the questions. I believe informal assessments are very useful despite being more subjective and validity of assessment may be questionable. They serve to us in order to help us to gain a better understanding of who we are and what we can be good at. I enjoyed exercise because when you put on paper 5 to 10 things that you liked you can really see on one place your interests and activities that you enjoy. Also, this gives you opportunity to single out one or two interests which are different from others. I believe assessments are particularly good for young people since they can help them to evaluate their situation and enlarge their career options.Generally my own interest fell into category of what I am doing right now and that is being with people, helping people, counseling, working in public service etc. There were few outliers as well namely, driving fast, maybe being rely driver and also soccer player. During informal conversation with professional helps to realize things about yourself, leads to uncover our desire what we want to accomplish during our life and what our priorities might be. I also believe that this process through informal conversation can help you realize your genuine affection and what is blocking in the way from accomplishing them.

Albert is the shop owner and manager for a successful auto repair shop and Maria recently got a promotion at a retail department store in the local galleria. They live in a an area that is on the edge of their old neighborhood, where Albert and Maria grew up. Albie went through a difficult period involving drug use and gang activity in his early teens, but now has a good job as a senior printer for a local print company and has pulled away from his old gang associates. He takes classes at the local university at night after work, to complete his degree in journalism. JC has recently become more heavily involved with the same gang and he is the reason the family has come for help. A close friend of JC’s was fatally stabbed and the entire family has been in turmoil, trying to dissuade him from engaging in revenge or violence. In spite of the family’s protests, JC pledges to “get even” with a local young man known in the community - in retaliation for the death of his friend. The family has considered moving away from their community, but is reluctant to move away from close extended family and friends, and away from the family business housed in the old neighborhood. The family is strongly connected in the community of their childhood through church attendance, community projects and mentoring activities. Mr. Alvarez works with the youth center to provide apprenticeships to at-risk youth from the local high school. The Alvarez’s expressed a wish that the church would take a more active role in addressing community concerns and desire for someone to help their community fight the increasing gang violence that is now moving into their middle class neighborhood.Assignment Instructions: Assessment:***Describe and discuss the two (2) social issues that are impacting this family and other members in this community.

AHIS 1 Santa Monica College Art History Throughout Time Discussion Questions
1. In your opinion, did the use of iconography appropriated from Roman pagan images facilitate or slow the progress of Christianity? Do you think it is possible that Roman authorities did not recognize the pagan images appropriated for Christian iconography? How did this shift within the Byzantine period?2.Scholars used to address the stylized appearance of early Christian and Byzantine art as the result of a loss of artistic skill, as if the artists forgot how the Romans made their art. Based on what you have learned about the art of the era, does this explanation sound reasonable to you? Why or why not?3. Compare and contrast a work of art or architecture from late Antiquity with one from the Byzantine period.4. Light was highly symbolic in the Byzantine era. Is this still true today? How do we use light symbolically in the modern world and what does the light symbolize now? Compare and contrast your example briefly to a Byzantine artwork that utilizes light.5. How does Hagia Sofia’s design reflects its function as a religious building. Which element do you feel is the most successful? If we think of Justinian as the head of the church as well as the state, the building takes on a political implication. What aspects of the building do you think would emphasize the emperor’s position in society? Is Byzantine Architecture more about the ruler or God?6. How does viewing Byzantine representational art as Icons/Windows change the interpretations we give them? Does that adequately account for the change in style to more simplified and non-natural forms? Or do you think that there was a loss in artistic skill after the fall of the Roman Empire? Is the Byzantine understanding of Icon helpful in understanding our obsession with art in museums, where we place singular objects against a blank white wall within temple like complexes to be revered and honored?7. Search for "islamic art paradise found" in youtube and watch youtube video . Feel free to start after the third minute as the introductory part of the first three minutes is irrelevant to the homework questions. Paradise is a concept that is closely connected to Islamic architecture. What are the most important similarities and diferences between the concept of heavan on earth within Christian and Islamic conceptions of the role for architecture? Consider the geometric motif and the use of calligraphy (the word) as art. How does the use of the word as art difer in creating a visual spectacle than the Byzantine use of mosaics?8. Trace the Birth of Islam (Links to an external site.) through the Nature of Islamic Art (Links to an external site.) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Web site. Summarize how the aspects discussed in the Nature of Islamic Art (Links to an external site.) section, specifically the calligraphy section helps you to understand why this artform was so significant to Muslims.9. Describe the cultural contributions made by Islam to Western Europe.10.How does the Great Mosque of Damascus "owe much to the architecture of the Greco-Roman and Early Christian East"?11. MOSQUE OF SELIM II- Sinan the Great was responsible for some of the masterworks of Ottoman architecture. His greatest work, the Mosque of Selim II in Edirne, Turkey was constructed to glorify his patron. It was also intended to surpass the Christian Hagia Sophia. What is your opinion of this strategy? Can you think of any other structures that pursued similar ends?12. RELIGION AND ART- Discuss the effects that the religious beliefs and practices of Islam have on Islamic art. What do you think is the most important religious belief affecting Islamic art? Cite specific examples to support your answer.13. Compare the manuscript styles that developed in this period. All of the images of Mathew, for instance, had the same function, to illustrate the opening page of the Gospel of Mathew as both an aid to religious contemplation as well as to provide an aesthetic experience. Do you believe that one of these is more effective than the others? What elements do you feel support your opinion?14. The Carolingian Renaissance ended with Charlemagne. Why do you think his successors did not pursue the same vision of a "New Rome"? In what ways did medieval European art and architecture depart from classical Roman art and architecture? Did any of the civilizations retain characteristics of Roman art and architecture?15. The Christian Church was the one unifying authority during this period. To what extent did the church preserve Western Culture and in what ways did they invent something entirely new? Use St. Michael’s Hildesheim as one of your examples16. Why do you think there was such a strong positive reception of the concept of relics in Romanesque society? Are there modern religious and secular pilgrimage sites? Identify one and explain how its architecture or setting accommodates large numbers of pilgrims.17. In light of the regional differences found in the art and architecture produced between 1050 and 1200, do you believe that it is accurate to apply a single stylistic label--Romanesque--to all of the objects and monuments? Why or why not?18. Identify key elements of Romanesque architecture. Travel back in time to the Romanesque Village of Baraigne in France. Search for info on the Romanesque Village of Baraigne in FranceExplore the Romanesque church there and explain what makes it a typical Romanesque church and the similarities it has with at least one of the examples in your text.19. Contrast the focus of life in the early Early Medieval period with the focus during the Romanesque period. What factors sparked the increase in building of churches in Western Europe? What were the various roles of figurative art, both two-dimensional and sculptural, during the Romanesque period?20. The Bayeux Tapestry & Propaganda- The telling of events both leading up to and the subsequent invasion and victory of the Normans is clearly from the Norman perspective. Is it too strong to label this as propaganda? What is propaganda and do you think this is an appropriate term to describe the tapestry? How much information can we glean from the tapestry regarding social/political/military customs of the time? Visual representations are documents of a culture but how valid are they in giving us an accurate perspective? Think of some representations of our culture that might go down in history as accurate reflections of how we live and what biases they may present to future people.21. Visit the Washington National Cathedral Website, www.nationalcatehdral.og (Links to an external site.) and view the below youtube videos before answering the questions.https://youtu.be/pBrhqpb4wWk (Links to an external site.)Compare and Contrast the exterior architecture of the National Cathedral to one example from our course. Why do you think the Gothic style was chosen for this national cathedral? There are many interesting aspects to the cathedral, including its utilization of the same essential building materials and technologies of Gothic architects and engineers being constructed entirely with Masonry and load bearing walls. How effective is the iconography at conveying the stories of our nation? Is the inclusion of Darth Vader as a gargoyle sculpture a document of our culture, or pandering to populist tastes?22. Romanesque religious art has been described as scaring Christians into behaving well, while much Gothic art is seen as approachable and intimate. Use examples to agree or disagree with the above statement. In your opinion, which artistic style was more effective? Explain your answer.23. Abbott Suger believed in the symbolic value of colored light. Is light still considered symbolic? Offer an example of a symbolic use of white or colored light and compare it to light in Gothic churches. Paintings use the principle of absorption and reflection of light, where stained glass allows a specific wavelength of light to pass through generating the brilliant color. How does the use of light as an artistic medium alter our experience? How is Gothic use of light similar and different from the use of light in Byzantine Art?24. Compare and contrast a Gothic cathedral to a Romanesque church. What is generally believed to have been the purpose of the sculptural programs of the portals of the great Gothic cathedrals? How did these programs differ from the sculptural programs of Romanesque portals? Use examples to support your essay. Explain why Romanesque sculpture is described as "fearsome" and Gothic as "kind". What role did politics and economics play in the creation of Gothic churches and in the spread of the Gothic style throughout Europe?25. Trace the changes visible in the treatment of the human figure from the beginning of the Gothic era to the late fourteenth century in both painting and sculpture. Cite specific examples in your answer.26. Pick a single object from this module as the best example that defines Gothic Art and explain your choice. (French Cathedral)27. The word Gothic conjures up all kinds of idea in the popular imagination. Pick an example of something that you consider "Gothic" in popular culture and discuss how it measures up. How has the Gothic style continued to capture the imagination of our contemporary culture? Pick one example and analyze the use of the Gothic style and how its aesthetics and politics have been adapted and utilized. Make sure to point out where aspects and tenets of the Gothic style have been misrepresented or avoided. One example that I have is the successful UNDERWORLD film series. In my answer I might discuss the use of the actress as a gargoyle on a gothic cathedral but the Gothic style is one of light, and this is emphasizing darkness.28. Evaluate the terms Byzantine/ Romanesque/ & Gothic by discussing the evolution in the depiction of Christ. How was the depiction changed and modified? Consider the political and social climate of each period and how it influenced and was influenced by the changing identity of Christ. Make sure to use specific examples to support your essay29. Compare and contrast the below two images. ( I added the files of the two churches) 30. Define the below term and give an example of an art work that relates to it from this course and explain your reasoningAbbot Sugar31. Define the below term and give an example of an art work that relates to it from this course and explain your reasoningIconoclasm32.

Define the below term and give an example of an art work that relates to it from this course and explain your reasoningArchivolt34. Define the below term and give an example of an art work that relates to it from this course and explain your reasoningChoir35. Imagine that you come upon this image in a museum in the Gothic Art section and want to impress the person that you are with. Demonstrate how much you have learned in this course by relating what you have learned in this course to the below image. Do not limit yourself to one section of the course. Feel free to discuss this image in relation to anything that we have covered. I have provided you all of the information that would be on a museum wall object label.

AMIND440 Week 14 Doctrine of Discovery American Indian History Questions
For this week's final discussion blog posts, please answer the following questions in 400 words minimum. Also don't forget to post a response to a peer as well in at least 200 words minimum!Sources: attached powerpoint!Please write a 400 word discussion to the following 7 questions: 1) Why is the chapter called “The Doctrine of Discovery”? We discussed this term at the beginning of the semester – why and how is this term returning at the end of the textbook? How does “The Doctrine of Discovery” seem to manifest itself, according to Dunbar-Ortiz?2) What does Dunbar-Ortiz mean by “Narratives of Dysfunction”? What are these narratives rooted in? How does she advocate changing these narratives?3) How might the Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty movement (from 1975 to present) be transforming the continent’s Indigenous community and nations? How might this movement also be transforming the US?4) Why is the final chapter called “The Future of the US”?5) What does a “race to innocence” and a “no fault history” mean, according to Dunbar-Ortiz?6) According to the final chapter, how can US society come to terms with its past? How can it acknowledge it responsibly? How might this acknowledgment be healing to all people in the US?7) Lastly, please reflect on your experience in this class - what resonated with you personally? What seemed to be the most important take-aways from this course?Please respond in 200 words to this student: The chapter is called “The Doctrine of Discovery” because, “According to the centuries-old Doctrine of Discovery, European nations acquired title to the land they ‘discovered,’ and Indigenous inhabitants lost their natural right to that land after Europeans had arrived and claimed it” (Dunbar-Ortiz 198). This has to do with Colonists and the discovery of new land and peoples. Before the European colonists arrived, the past history of the Indigenous peoples was erased. This topic is discussed at the beginning and the end of the textbook to help connect everything that we have been learning throughout the semester.In the context of what Dunbar-Ortiz is discussing, “Narratives of Dysfunction” means that there were issues that were found in the Indigenous communities. As discussed in a TED Talk from another week, “Rates of alcoholism and suicide are far higher than national averages, and higher even than in other communities living in poverty” (Dunbar-Ortiz 211). The living conditions in the Indigenous communities were very poor which did not help matters and there were false narratives being told.The Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty movement might be transforming the continent’s Indigenous community and nations. The sovereignty movement and Indigenous self-determination, “… is not only transforming the continent’s Indigenous communities and nations but also, inevitably, the United States” (Dunbar-Ortiz 217). Their culture was reestablished which helped give individuals a voice. The movement also reminds individuals to not give up when times get tough; it is supposed to be inspirational. It teaches individuals to not just go by what others say, but to fight for sovereignty.The final chapter is called “The Future of the United States” because it tells us what we can do in the present and future. As I have learned in many of my English classes, the conclusion (in this case, the last chapter), has a “call to action”. We cannot change the past, but we can make sure not to repeat it and learn from it.According to Dunbar-Ortiz, “A ‘race to innocence’ is what occurs when individuals assume that they are innocent of complicity in structures of domination and oppression” (Dunbar-Ortiz 218). New immigrants and children assume that they cannot be responsible for what happened in their adopted country’s past (Dunbar-Ortiz 218). No one wanted to be blamed for what was going on which relates to both of the terms. As far as “no fault history”, this refers to making someone seem less harsh than it actually was.According to the final chapter, the United States can come to terms with its past by being responsible for the present since it is a result of the past. Unfortunately, “Everyone and everything in the world is affected, for the most part negatively, by US dominance and intervention, often violently through direct military means or through proxies” (Dunbar-Ortiz 218). Due to the concern, Dunbar-Ortiz says that it is important to educate K-12 students on American Indian ancestries and heritages. This process needed to start, “… by honoring the treaties the United States made with Indigenous nations, by restoring all sacred sites, starting with the Black Hills and including most federally held parks and land and all stolen sacred items and body parts, and by payment of sufficient reparations for the reconstruction and expansion of Native nations” (Dunbar-Ortiz 218). Educational programs are essential in order to have the future be realized and to help heal all people in the United States.Overall, this course has taught me so much more than I ever thought. To be honest, at first, I just took it because I needed to take an exploration. However, this course has helped open my eyes. It has taught me that I need to hear and listen to multiple perspectives, not just the first one I hear; not just the one I like the answer to; not just the one that my friend says is right; but all of them.

Albert is the shop owner and manager for a successful auto repair shop and Maria recently got a promotion at a retail department store in the local galleria. They live in a an area that is on the edge of their old neighborhood, where Albert and Maria grew up. Albie went through a difficult period involving drug use and gang activity in his early teens, but now has a good job as a senior printer for a local print company and has pulled away from his old gang associates. He takes classes at the local university at night after work, to complete his degree in journalism. JC has recently become more heavily involved with the same gang and he is the reason the family has come for help. A close friend of JC’s was fatally stabbed and the entire family has been in turmoil, trying to dissuade him from engaging in revenge or violence. In spite of the family’s protests, JC pledges to “get even” with a local young man known in the community - in retaliation for the death of his friend. The family has considered moving away from their community, but is reluctant to move away from close extended family and friends, and away from the family business housed in the old neighborhood. The family is strongly connected in the community of their childhood through church attendance, community projects and mentoring activities. Mr. Alvarez works with the youth center to provide apprenticeships to at-risk youth from the local high school. The Alvarez’s expressed a wish that the church would take a more active role in addressing community concerns and desire for someone to help their community fight the increasing gang violence that is now moving into their middle class neighborhood.Assignment Instructions: Assessment:***Describe and discuss the two (2) social issues that are impacting this family and other members in this community.

AHIS 1 Santa Monica College Art History Throughout Time Discussion Questions
1. In your opinion, did the use of iconography appropriated from Roman pagan images facilitate or slow the progress of Christianity? Do you think it is possible that Roman authorities did not recognize the pagan images appropriated for Christian iconography? How did this shift within the Byzantine period?2.Scholars used to address the stylized appearance of early Christian and Byzantine art as the result of a loss of artistic skill, as if the artists forgot how the Romans made their art. Based on what you have learned about the art of the era, does this explanation sound reasonable to you? Why or why not?3. Compare and contrast a work of art or architecture from late Antiquity with one from the Byzantine period.4. Light was highly symbolic in the Byzantine era. Is this still true today? How do we use light symbolically in the modern world and what does the light symbolize now? Compare and contrast your example briefly to a Byzantine artwork that utilizes light.5. How does Hagia Sofia’s design reflects its function as a religious building. Which element do you feel is the most successful? If we think of Justinian as the head of the church as well as the state, the building takes on a political implication. What aspects of the building do you think would emphasize the emperor’s position in society? Is Byzantine Architecture more about the ruler or God?6. How does viewing Byzantine representational art as Icons/Windows change the interpretations we give them? Does that adequately account for the change in style to more simplified and non-natural forms? Or do you think that there was a loss in artistic skill after the fall of the Roman Empire? Is the Byzantine understanding of Icon helpful in understanding our obsession with art in museums, where we place singular objects against a blank white wall within temple like complexes to be revered and honored?7. Search for "islamic art paradise found" in youtube and watch youtube video . Feel free to start after the third minute as the introductory part of the first three minutes is irrelevant to the homework questions. Paradise is a concept that is closely connected to Islamic architecture. What are the most important similarities and diferences between the concept of heavan on earth within Christian and Islamic conceptions of the role for architecture? Consider the geometric motif and the use of calligraphy (the word) as art. How does the use of the word as art difer in creating a visual spectacle than the Byzantine use of mosaics?8. Trace the Birth of Islam (Links to an external site.) through the Nature of Islamic Art (Links to an external site.) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Web site. Summarize how the aspects discussed in the Nature of Islamic Art (Links to an external site.) section, specifically the calligraphy section helps you to understand why this artform was so significant to Muslims.9. Describe the cultural contributions made by Islam to Western Europe.10.How does the Great Mosque of Damascus "owe much to the architecture of the Greco-Roman and Early Christian East"?11. MOSQUE OF SELIM II- Sinan the Great was responsible for some of the masterworks of Ottoman architecture. His greatest work, the Mosque of Selim II in Edirne, Turkey was constructed to glorify his patron. It was also intended to surpass the Christian Hagia Sophia. What is your opinion of this strategy? Can you think of any other structures that pursued similar ends?12. RELIGION AND ART- Discuss the effects that the religious beliefs and practices of Islam have on Islamic art. What do you think is the most important religious belief affecting Islamic art? Cite specific examples to support your answer.13. Compare the manuscript styles that developed in this period. All of the images of Mathew, for instance, had the same function, to illustrate the opening page of the Gospel of Mathew as both an aid to religious contemplation as well as to provide an aesthetic experience. Do you believe that one of these is more effective than the others? What elements do you feel support your opinion?14. The Carolingian Renaissance ended with Charlemagne. Why do you think his successors did not pursue the same vision of a "New Rome"? In what ways did medieval European art and architecture depart from classical Roman art and architecture? Did any of the civilizations retain characteristics of Roman art and architecture?15. The Christian Church was the one unifying authority during this period. To what extent did the church preserve Western Culture and in what ways did they invent something entirely new? Use St. Michael’s Hildesheim as one of your examples16. Why do you think there was such a strong positive reception of the concept of relics in Romanesque society? Are there modern religious and secular pilgrimage sites? Identify one and explain how its architecture or setting accommodates large numbers of pilgrims.17. In light of the regional differences found in the art and architecture produced between 1050 and 1200, do you believe that it is accurate to apply a single stylistic label--Romanesque--to all of the objects and monuments? Why or why not?18. Identify key elements of Romanesque architecture. Travel back in time to the Romanesque Village of Baraigne in France. Search for info on the Romanesque Village of Baraigne in FranceExplore the Romanesque church there and explain what makes it a typical Romanesque church and the similarities it has with at least one of the examples in your text.19. Contrast the focus of life in the early Early Medieval period with the focus during the Romanesque period. What factors sparked the increase in building of churches in Western Europe? What were the various roles of figurative art, both two-dimensional and sculptural, during the Romanesque period?20. The Bayeux Tapestry & Propaganda- The telling of events both leading up to and the subsequent invasion and victory of the Normans is clearly from the Norman perspective. Is it too strong to label this as propaganda? What is propaganda and do you think this is an appropriate term to describe the tapestry? How much information can we glean from the tapestry regarding social/political/military customs of the time? Visual representations are documents of a culture but how valid are they in giving us an accurate perspective? Think of some representations of our culture that might go down in history as accurate reflections of how we live and what biases they may present to future people.21. Visit the Washington National Cathedral Website, www.nationalcatehdral.og (Links to an external site.) and view the below youtube videos before answering the questions.https://youtu.be/pBrhqpb4wWk (Links to an external site.)Compare and Contrast the exterior architecture of the National Cathedral to one example from our course. Why do you think the Gothic style was chosen for this national cathedral? There are many interesting aspects to the cathedral, including its utilization of the same essential building materials and technologies of Gothic architects and engineers being constructed entirely with Masonry and load bearing walls. How effective is the iconography at conveying the stories of our nation? Is the inclusion of Darth Vader as a gargoyle sculpture a document of our culture, or pandering to populist tastes?22. Romanesque religious art has been described as scaring Christians into behaving well, while much Gothic art is seen as approachable and intimate. Use examples to agree or disagree with the above statement. In your opinion, which artistic style was more effective? Explain your answer.23. Abbott Suger believed in the symbolic value of colored light. Is light still considered symbolic? Offer an example of a symbolic use of white or colored light and compare it to light in Gothic churches. Paintings use the principle of absorption and reflection of light, where stained glass allows a specific wavelength of light to pass through generating the brilliant color. How does the use of light as an artistic medium alter our experience? How is Gothic use of light similar and different from the use of light in Byzantine Art?24. Compare and contrast a Gothic cathedral to a Romanesque church. What is generally believed to have been the purpose of the sculptural programs of the portals of the great Gothic cathedrals? How did these programs differ from the sculptural programs of Romanesque portals? Use examples to support your essay. Explain why Romanesque sculpture is described as "fearsome" and Gothic as "kind". What role did politics and economics play in the creation of Gothic churches and in the spread of the Gothic style throughout Europe?25. Trace the changes visible in the treatment of the human figure from the beginning of the Gothic era to the late fourteenth century in both painting and sculpture. Cite specific examples in your answer.26. Pick a single object from this module as the best example that defines Gothic Art and explain your choice. (French Cathedral)27. The word Gothic conjures up all kinds of idea in the popular imagination. Pick an example of something that you consider "Gothic" in popular culture and discuss how it measures up. How has the Gothic style continued to capture the imagination of our contemporary culture? Pick one example and analyze the use of the Gothic style and how its aesthetics and politics have been adapted and utilized. Make sure to point out where aspects and tenets of the Gothic style have been misrepresented or avoided. One example that I have is the successful UNDERWORLD film series. In my answer I might discuss the use of the actress as a gargoyle on a gothic cathedral but the Gothic style is one of light, and this is emphasizing darkness.28. Evaluate the terms Byzantine/ Romanesque/ & Gothic by discussing the evolution in the depiction of Christ. How was the depiction changed and modified? Consider the political and social climate of each period and how it influenced and was influenced by the changing identity of Christ. Make sure to use specific examples to support your essay29. Compare and contrast the below two images. ( I added the files of the two churches) 30. Define the below term and give an example of an art work that relates to it from this course and explain your reasoningAbbot Sugar31. Define the below term and give an example of an art work that relates to it from this course and explain your reasoningIconoclasm32.

Define the below term and give an example of an art work that relates to it from this course and explain your reasoningChoir35. Imagine that you come upon this image in a museum in the Gothic Art section and want to impress the person that you are with. Demonstrate how much you have learned in this course by relating what you have learned in this course to the below image. Do not limit yourself to one section of the course. Feel free to discuss this image in relation to anything that we have covered. I have provided you all of the information that would be on a museum wall object label.

AMIND440 Week 14 Doctrine of Discovery American Indian History Questions
For this week's final discussion blog posts, please answer the following questions in 400 words minimum. Also don't forget to post a response to a peer as well in at least 200 words minimum!Sources: attached powerpoint!Please write a 400 word discussion to the following 7 questions: 1) Why is the chapter called “The Doctrine of Discovery”? We discussed this term at the beginning of the semester – why and how is this term returning at the end of the textbook? How does “The Doctrine of Discovery” seem to manifest itself, according to Dunbar-Ortiz?2) What does Dunbar-Ortiz mean by “Narratives of Dysfunction”? What are these narratives rooted in? How does she advocate changing these narratives?3) How might the Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty movement (from 1975 to present) be transforming the continent’s Indigenous community and nations? How might this movement also be transforming the US?4) Why is the final chapter called “The Future of the US”?5) What does a “race to innocence” and a “no fault history” mean, according to Dunbar-Ortiz?6) According to the final chapter, how can US society come to terms with its past? How can it acknowledge it responsibly? How might this acknowledgment be healing to all people in the US?7) Lastly, please reflect on your experience in this class - what resonated with you personally? What seemed to be the most important take-aways from this course?Please respond in 200 words to this student: The chapter is called “The Doctrine of Discovery” because, “According to the centuries-old Doctrine of Discovery, European nations acquired title to the land they ‘discovered,’ and Indigenous inhabitants lost their natural right to that land after Europeans had arrived and claimed it” (Dunbar-Ortiz 198). This has to do with Colonists and the discovery of new land and peoples. Before the European colonists arrived, the past history of the Indigenous peoples was erased. This topic is discussed at the beginning and the end of the textbook to help connect everything that we have been learning throughout the semester.In the context of what Dunbar-Ortiz is discussing, “Narratives of Dysfunction” means that there were issues that were found in the Indigenous communities. As discussed in a TED Talk from another week, “Rates of alcoholism and suicide are far higher than national averages, and higher even than in other communities living in poverty” (Dunbar-Ortiz 211). The living conditions in the Indigenous communities were very poor which did not help matters and there were false narratives being told.The Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty movement might be transforming the continent’s Indigenous community and nations. The sovereignty movement and Indigenous self-determination, “… is not only transforming the continent’s Indigenous communities and nations but also, inevitably, the United States” (Dunbar-Ortiz 217). Their culture was reestablished which helped give individuals a voice. The movement also reminds individuals to not give up when times get tough; it is supposed to be inspirational. It teaches individuals to not just go by what others say, but to fight for sovereignty.The final chapter is called “The Future of the United States” because it tells us what we can do in the present and future. As I have learned in many of my English classes, the conclusion (in this case, the last chapter), has a “call to action”. We cannot change the past, but we can make sure not to repeat it and learn from it.According to Dunbar-Ortiz, “A ‘race to innocence’ is what occurs when individuals assume that they are innocent of complicity in structures of domination and oppression” (Dunbar-Ortiz 218). New immigrants and children assume that they cannot be responsible for what happened in their adopted country’s past (Dunbar-Ortiz 218). No one wanted to be blamed for what was going on which relates to both of the terms. As far as “no fault history”, this refers to making someone seem less harsh than it actually was.According to the final chapter, the United States can come to terms with its past by being responsible for the present since it is a result of the past. Unfortunately, “Everyone and everything in the world is affected, for the most part negatively, by US dominance and intervention, often violently through direct military means or through proxies” (Dunbar-Ortiz 218). Due to the concern, Dunbar-Ortiz says that it is important to educate K-12 students on American Indian ancestries and heritages. This process needed to start, “… by honoring the treaties the United States made with Indigenous nations, by restoring all sacred sites, starting with the Black Hills and including most federally held parks and land and all stolen sacred items and body parts, and by payment of sufficient reparations for the reconstruction and expansion of Native nations” (Dunbar-Ortiz 218). Educational programs are essential in order to have the future be realized and to help heal all people in the United States.Overall, this course has taught me so much more than I ever thought. To be honest, at first, I just took it because I needed to take an exploration. However, this course has helped open my eyes. It has taught me that I need to hear and listen to multiple perspectives, not just the first one I hear; not just the one I like the answer to; not just the one that my friend says is right; but all of them.
