- 9331: Dave Matthews Band
- ... rock: music that is conspicuously eclectic but plainly rooted in the familiar bedrock of Americana, the blues and jazz. By introducing acoustic guitars and shifting tempos punctuated by violins, penny whistles and other flourishes of world music and jazz, the band has forged a cerebral yet commercially appealing sound, surpassing competitors like Phish. (Thigpen) After the release of Under the Table and Dreaming came the album Crash, which involved various artists ... that let supposedly somebody down by, and he is so upset he tries to show his sorrow and his want to reconcile his wrong doing. But the helpless of his music propels you into his world so you can feel his pain. Many well known magazines also have good things to say about Dave Matthews Band's lyrical approach, "he (Dave Matthews) conjures optimism in a world beset by environmental depredation, political paralysis, self-doubt, and hopelessness" (Thigpen). Meanwhile Dave Matthew's describes his songs as "therapy, an effort to help his listeners cope with society, where racism is absolutely alive" ( ...
- 9332: The City Of The Sun
- ... The City of the Sun, a new social order is introduced amongst the Solarians. Campanella presents his readers with a utopian society that is ordered by rationality and reason.

Campanella, therefore, reconstructs a society that operates in opposition to the ... to alter their status if they desire, and live a life according to their standards. Campanella directly criticizes the society he grew up in by stating in his dialogue, why the Solarians mock the material world for the way it is structured: Thus they laugh at us because we consider craftsmen ignoble and assign nobility to those who are ignorant of every craft and live in idleness, keeping a host of ... since it is your custom to exalt the ignorant either because they are nobly born or because some powerful faction chooses them (Campanella 45). By analyzing Campanella’s document, it is evident that the real world is filled with corruption and injustice; this inevitably produces an ineffective system. Campanella, however, in his work seeks to eliminate any injustices and presents a harmonious, well-structured society. Bibliography Tommaso Campanella, The City ...
- 9333: The Vesus The Heart In The Sca
- ... was one of the few that knew of his crime. All of these factors piled on to the back of Arthur Dimmesdale leaving him in a decrepit state and on the brink of insanity. The war between the law and the will of the heart took its toll on everyone. Hester and Pearl suffered isolation, Arthur suffered severe mental anguish, Roger suffered the painful want of revenge, while society lost a great holy man. This war caused a lot of pain and suffering, yet it accomplished nothing in the end. Today we continue to fight the war between the law and the heart and we can not help wondering if it will ever end.
- 9334: The Great Gatsby: “The love of money is the root of all evil"
- ... treated them differently, they had to deal with taxes, and more often than not, the money was gone in just a short period of time. Money is not the only thing that causes evil. Rape, war, murder. These things are not caused by the love of money. In some cases they are, but not in all. The need for power plays a major role in many of these things. War is simply a power struggle. If one country wins a war, they therefore have more power. People and countries are trying to gain more control. They do it simply for the feeling of authority that it gives them. This has nothing to do with the ...

- 9336: Plato's Simile of the Cave: Artist's Work is Based On Illusion
- ... psychological harm. As stated in The Fire and the Sun, Art or imitation may be dismissed as ‘play’, but when artists imitate what is bad they are adding to the sum of badness in the world; and it is easier to copy a bad man than a good man, because the bad man is various and entertaining and extreme, while the good man is quiet and always the same. Artists are ... with the opposite sex. Plato would probably try to ban or censor Weston because the photo would not fit his moral standards. Plato would say that this photo would add to the badness of the world and it would corrupt children’s minds. Such speculations aside, Weston has built an icon representing female imagery- beautiful, tough, and profound. I disagree with Plato’s idea that art lack worldliness or that it ... With an open mind art can be perceived on many levels. Art is truth, beauty, and reality. It can be everlasting and it symbolizes purpose. When I create, for example, while drawing I rediscover the world. I do not think Plato has a right to expel and categorize artists for freely expressing themselves. Art can be expressing, it can be therapy, and it can enlighten one’s own understanding.
