what is the significance of humanities in business?or is it related?

answers1: Absolutely none. High time we got rid of the notion that
humanities have any place in the business world. We should overthrow
the unions, too, and go back to slave labor. And while we're at it,
there's no point in businesses wasting their profits on donations to
the arts or sponsoring art, music or dance performances. <br>
Bah, humbug!
answers2: .When South Africa was still segregated, I worked with a
bunch of Yale Students to get the Trustees to divest and we set up an
alternative investment program for that purpose. At one of those
Brunchens the trustees informed us that the Board had no obligations
to any notions of Ethical Investment and in fact Yale didn't divest
from Nazi Germany either. What does that tell you! <br>
<br>
If Humanities has a roll in business, given the current market it is
used only for market analysis!
answers3: well one need to nose human behaviours an social behaviours
before you start trying to sell them something through any
business.every one would benifit studying humanities,,lots luck with
your studys,peace.

just there to enjoy and help us take a break from our burdens.

Should I take AP US Humanities or just AP Us history and AP English Language 11?

answers1: There's no such thing as AP US Humanities. Your school
probably lists it as AP so that more students take it, but colleges
won't accept credits from it and there's no AP test. If you're
interested in humanities, by all means take it, but don't expect to
get college credit from it. <br>
If you only have room for 2 more courses and not 3, take the two real
APs. If you have room for 3 and you like humanities, take the class.
AP US History (APUSH for short) is a hard course, considered by some
to be the hardest social studies AP, but the other AP you're taking
isn't that hard, so I'm sure you'll be able to handle it. Good luck!
answers2: You should take as many ap courses as you can. It looks
better on you transcript and college applications. You are also saving
college tuition and time by taking these classes in high school
instead of having to struggle with them in college.

What do people study in a humanities class? Which one is more interesting US Humanities or World Humanities?

answers1: Humanities classes are very broad topically. Mine usually
have included literature, visual arts, film (if in the 20th century),
architecture, philosophy, and history. The idea is to draw connections
between all the various creative movements and influences that exist
in a culture at any given moment, as well as how these movements and
influences have influenced what has come later and what we are
experiencing now. <br>
<br>
As far as whether world or US humanities is more interesting, that is
a matter of opinion. A lot of my classmates absolutely loved their US
Humanities classes, but I found them boring. I really, really enjoyed
World Humanities, however. Your professor or teacher will also
influence how much you enjoy any class, humanities or otherwise.
answers2: humanities class??? we study a lot of stuff in that class. <br>
you study History, English(grammar), Poetry, and Novel Studies. <br>
and i don't know which one's intresting. i'm only in grade 8 and i
don't have plans to study other kinds of humanities...(=
answers3: i imagine about this stuff too. now and again it makes me
sense like i'm superior a useful existence by ability of helping
others. Then I comprehend how self-dependent even it truly is. We help
others to sense more suitable desirable about our lives, to get a
sense of exhilaration in what good people we are. lol it truly is all
authentic. there is not any element to any of it. it truly is
thoughts-boggling fairly. ?

Whats some good art colleges?

answers1: Liberal arts + art: Alfred University [NOT Alfred State].
It's in the middle of nowhere and a very small school, though.

art studies you like to do?

answers1: keep your own art journal- i.e. draw/paint one picture per
day related to something that struck you or that you felt was
important or characteristic of the day. That way you'll manage to
cover a number of different art themes over a period of days and
you'll improve your reflective and expressive skills in art (for
example when drawing a picture which doesn't really refer to something
in particular that you saw or that happened during the day; but just
depicts your mood throughout the day or during some part of it). <br>
Hope this helps! =]

Good book for comprehensive art history and methods (visual arts)? I'm lacking!?

answers1: Well, you could try a book like the first one below, but
generally, when we are teaching introductory courses in the history of
art, we have traditionally assigned the classics, either Gardner or
Janson. I can't say that the writing is brilliant, but they are
comprehensive. <br>
<br>
For more technical issues, such as color theory, you don't want a book
on art history. That's actually a separate subject covered in studio
arts/visual art courses and in books on these topics. <br>
<br>
Otherwise, I'd suggest that you look for books on individual topics
and periods in art history. They are where you are going to find
truly interesting scholarly writing.
answers2: That is a good observation

How to describe composition in visual art?

answers1: You can describe: line, form, repetition, directional
forces, use of colors, use of texture, etc. Composition is literally
the "technical" elements that were used in the painting. Good luck :]
answers2: composition in art is a placement of objects on a 2d surface
that allows the eye to settle upon and then move within it's
framework. the positioning of the elements of shapes, colors, and
values (along with subject matter) are orchestrated by the artist to
evoke a particular reaction from the viewer.

What does "acting black" mean?

answers1: hard factor look into on yahoo this can assist
answers2: when people say "act black" they specifically mean the
stereotype of acting ghetto.

how would you act towards an ex you were forced to work with?

answers1: you blah. i would hateeeee that. :[ idk. i have a hard time
liking my ex's...like a have no friends that are ex's. it's cool
though. there is a REASON there is an X there. XD
answers2: I wouldnt date a co-worker, and that is precicely why.
Inter-office romance is doomed to failure in most cases for a couple
of reasons. The reason that inspired your question is one of them.
Another is the problem that I have seen when one of the people gets a
new job. Suddenly they dont get to spend any time together, because
they actually counted a major part of their "time together" as time
they spent at work. They eventually broke up. So then they had to quit
their job too because all around them were reminders of their ex. <br>
<br>
But in answer to your question, I would get a new job.
answers3: On the inside I'd be hating every second ... but it's work.
What can you do but just act like an adult and treat them (at least
outwardly) with basic kindness and respect? Be cordial, and when you
get home, use a picture of their face for a dart board or something.
<br>
<br>
It sucks, but being civil seems like the only option, unless you want
to find a new job.
answers4: I wouldn't care, not going to let him ruin my life and
especially get in the way of me and my job. That's just foolish.
answers5: It depends on which ex, there was one who broke my heart and
stomped on it. I'd get a Russian dictionary and send her messages in
Russian. If you studied Russian history, you'd know who Nikolai
Romanov was. She actually thinks or thought he rides on her shoulder.
answers6: Ignore him the best that i could. Never be stuck in the same
room with him or the elevator, basically avoid him.
answers7: wouldn't happen...I don't sh!t ..where I eat.....but if I
did ..hook up with some one...I would be cordial....haven't had my
heart broken...but I have pissed off a few girlfriends ..... I cant
help it.... if they act a fool around me... especially if I'm with
someone else... ...
answers8: There is a certain coolness of attitude coupled with
ordinary workplace courtesy which is far more apt to make him realize
he was a fool to drop you than either excessive friendliness or
clearly bitter behaviour. Probably the other person has some qualms
too. Unless it was a pure and simple, unilateral heartstompin'----I
suggest trying to get along with it the same way you would with any
other co-worker you didn't particularly like. <br>
<br>
the unfortunate thing about emotions is how they feed upon and
resonate each other. <br>
<br>
Ever notice how you tend to like someone who indicates they like you
or find you interesting, attractive, etc. <br>
<br>
Well---my guess is that you are more the grown-up in this relationship
(former relationship)---so---you probably get to set the tone. <br>
<br>
In both our work places, the supermarket, and sometimes even in our
extended families----we don't always "like" each other. That's what
manners and courtesy were invented for. They don't tell you how to
get along with people you like or love---that's pretty easy. they
tell you how to get along with annoying people who are standing on
your foot, or your last nerve. while keeping your own personal
standards of dignity and decency. <br>
<br>
(Heartbroken too)
answers9: Act professional, but not friendly. Be cold, not rude.
answers10: Not quite the same but I have to work with my ex crush(and
friend) who really treated me and turned out to be a two faced
backstabber, it sucks!

why were colonist angry with the townshend acts?

answers1: The colonists had just finished fighting to get the Stamp
Act repealed when the Townshend Act came into play. This act put a
tax on the most populat imported items such as paper, glass, and tea.
They felt that these were unfair due to the "taxation without
representation" as the former person answered. Yet, for some it was
just another injustice after the Stamp Act, and the Quartering Act.
This is especially true of those colonists who considered themselves
Patriots and felt that the colonies should be independent from the
British Govt. Of the Patriots the most heated arguments came from the
secret society called the Sons of Liberty.
answers2: The townshend acts were enforced because the Stamp Act were
repealed. They were angry because England was still trying to seize
control of the colonies. The townshend acts put taxes on paint glass,
lead, wood, etc. They tried so hard to revolt against the Stamp Act,
but now they have the townshend acts on them.

Good theater groups near Charlotte, NC?

answers1: Here is a link to a Google search I did for theater groups
in the Charlotte area. You can go down through these results and see
if any of them would work for you. I saw that there are a number of
groups in the Charlotte area so I think you'll probably find one that
will be a good fit for you. I seem to remember there is a good one in
the Belmont area but a search I did didn't find it. You may want to
ask about one in that area if that's not too far away for you. <br>

Know anything about theatre?

answers1: Oh, Great Blue Jumping Jehosephat! Save me from Important
Theatre Scholars! <br>
<br>
Theatre, unlike painting and sculpture, is ephemeral and mutable. A
single performance is never the same as another performance. Theatre
is a One Shot Deal. Once the performance is over, that's it. <br>
<br>
One can view Michelangelo's David or Picasso's Guernica today, and
revel in the artistry. One can only read about the great performances
of Will Kemp or Sarah Siddons. <br>
<br>
Theatre is a "living art form" because it is born in rehearsal, lives
under the lights, and dies at Closing. <br>
<br>
Not a bad turn of phrase, if I do say so. <br>
<br>
Perhaps I might be an Important Theatre Scholar some day. I got the
lingo down pat.
answers2: id say thats a great way to describe it becuse unlike art or
poetry it cant be put in a book or on a shelf it can only be seen, in
its truest form, live on a stage with an audience. <br>
an thats as living as it gets
answers3: Theatre only exists when it is being performed live in front
of an audience. If is is recorded in any way, it ceases to be
"theatre" and becomes something else, such as a film or a recording of
theatre which are not theatre in the strictest sense. The same is
true of dance and musical performance.
answers4: I agree with this. He may be saying that theatre is a living
art form because most art is still (painting, sculptures, drawings,
music, etc.) It is still because it does not change, whereas theatre
can only be art whenever it is live and there is always the chance of
error where improvisation (such as improvisation that we do in real
life) may need to happen.
answers5: The reason why he refers to it as a "living art form" isn't
because it is being performed live or anything like that. It is
because it changes and develops and grows over time. Theatre goes
through phases and stages like a human or other animal. It moves, it
expands, it contracts. Theatre is a living art form because it never
stops changing. It has grown from the greeks praising dionysus and
Zeus and the other gods that they believed in to now street theatre,
experimental theatre, theatre for social change and etc. Theatre never
stays in one state. It goes through rebellious stages, religious
stages, pop, punk, country music. hip-hop musicals are becoming rather
wide-spread now as well. There is always something new, theatre never
lies dead. The analogy or metaphor or what-have-you is basically
saying that theatre never stays still, and it's always going somewhere
new.

Youth poetry magazines or contests?

answers1: complex problem. look with the search engines. that will help!
answers2: Most countries have competitions for young poets, but since
I am based in the UK I know only about the ones we have here. <br>
<br>
You should probably talk to your English teacher at school - and
perhaps show him some of your poetry when you do that. He is likely to
be able to tell you about National and State poetry awards and
schemes. <br>
<br>
The competition is always fierce (everybody seems to think they can
write poetry), but even entering a competition is likely to get you
thinking seriously about your writing, and how you can improve it.
<br>
<br>
Even if you don't win, it will improve your writing no end.

How can I understand poetry?

answers1: Try reading the poem out loud. Poems are made with the music
and rhythm of words in mind. That might help. <br>
<br>
Also, don't over think the poem. Read it carefully to see what it is
saying literally, but don't go looking for a "hidden meaning" in it.
The meaning to you comes through how the poem makes you feel, and what
it reminds you of. It's a personal experience.
answers2: Perhaps you're reading the wrong poetry. Why don't you
start here: <a href="http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/001.html"

answers3: Yes, it might be
answers4: Try to relate the words to real life and the problems or
experiences you've had.
answers5: By dissecting each line <br>
By understanding language <br>
By distinguishing gibberish crap from good poetry <br>
By trying to understand a creative original sentence that we have
nether spoken or heard before <br>
<br>
It's not a easy task
answers6: By finding the time period it was written in first. <br>
Then find what part of the world it pertains to. <br>
Finally the same as reading a book or watching a movie. <br>
I know some poems have different meanings for different people.
answers7: There are quite a few good books that can help you with
this: "How Does a Poem Mean?" by John Ciardi, "A Poetry Handbook" by
Mary Oliver, "Making Your Own Days" by Kennneth Koch, and "Nine Gates"
by Jane Hirshfield, for example. You can find these, and others that
you might enjoy, at your library.

what are some good online poetry contests?

answers1: poetry.com has some good ones...you can post your poems and
what not...
answers2: Its a scam......comparable ingredient exceeded off to me
luckily i did no longer purchase something from them i found out it
grew to become into all a lie only in time sucky ain't it (-__-) are
you able to suspect somebody who wrote a poem on the means rangers
have been given an acceptanmce letter....as long by using fact the guy
is keen to pay, it is not considerable
answers3: This is probably very late answer but then this platform
didnt exist then. <br>
Have a look at Tallenge. Its an online platform with 100,000
participants from about 135 countries participate in contests across
multiple categories like Art, Photography, Literature, Dance,etc. <br>
There is also online poetry contest and prize for the winner. Its free
so just go and try it out. <br>
Poetry contest:
http://www.tallenge.com/contest/literaturepoetrycontest.html <br>
Tallenge website: www.tallenge.com
answers4: www.poetry.com has great contests
answers5: Online poetry "contests" are generally scams, most notably
those offered by poetry.com. <br>
<br>
You submit your entry then get a notice that you've won (!) and that
you're work will be "published" in a volume with the winning entries.
You are then allowed to purchase this book for $59 - $99. It's a scam
to sell books. Unfortunately, desperate authors fall for it all the
time. <br>
<br>
The only poetry award that would be impressive on a college transcript
is a legitimate one. This means a contest that: <br>
<br>
1. has no entry fee and no reading fee. <br>
2. is judged by established, respected, published poets. <br>
3. is administered by a respected organization, institution or publication. <br>
<br>
These contests are far and few between. Check out "Poets and Writers"
magazine for announcements and calls for submissions.

What's your political philosophy?

answers1: Might makes right is a warped philosophy. If you remember
'Lord of the Flies' - the stronger members of the group eventually
gain power, and the stable society inhabited by Ralph ? and Piggy
begins to break down, anarchy reigns supreme. <br>
<br>
Since the majority of people are totally uninterested in politics
(unless something drastic forces them to be) it seems to me that it is
the most powerful and the most persuasive on TV who will be
elected...based on personalities rather than policies. <br>
<br>
Government is the elected members and the civil servants....I think we
could do away with the elected members and let the civil servants do
their job...I don't think many people would notice any difference in
their day to day existence. <br>
<br>
A government is legitimate if lawfully elected (however ignorant the
electorate) by a majority <br>
<br>
Yes, indeed. I wonder that, too.
answers2: These questions are what were asked by the American founding
fathers such as John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton,
James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams. <br>
<br>
They found their answers in the philosophies of John Locke, John Hume,
Harrington, Thomas Hobbes, Jean Jacques Rousseu, Adam Smith, and
Francois Quesnay. <br>
<br>
Hobbes was a state absolutist. <br>
<br>
Hume was a tory (democracy was an open door to chaos). <br>
<br>
Blackstone was a tory lawyer <br>
<br>
Harrington were republicans of strong aristocratic bias <br>
<br>
Locke were constitutional monarchists <br>
<br>
So just remember the 'Golden Rule of History' - them that has the
gold, makes the rules. Or them that has the guns, makes the rules.
<br>
<br>
Might makes right: The victors write history. <br>
<br>
Political power: Politics has sometimes been called the 'art of
compromise'. You are forced to compromise when powerful men do not
want to change. <br>
<br>
American government is a system of checks & balances so powerful men
are held back. <br>
<br>
Any government is legitimate when it is 'recogninzed' by other
powerful governments. <br>
<br>
Why are there governments at all? Because very rich & powerful people
put themselves in charge. <br>
<br>
Realistically speaking, no government exists if there are not powerful
people who make it exist.
answers3: There are governments beacause society must be organized.But
i think that in the near future,every person will be able to vote
through internet,i mean,not to vote other persons but laws and all the
things that must be done in a country. <br>
A govt.is legitimate when it does what was promised in the campaign
before the election
answers4: The answers to these is very extensive. Are you referencing
to Communist, Socialist, Democratic, just to name the big three but
there are a hundred different architectures of governments. but in a
nut shell, my personal insite of government .... We are screwed.
answers5: "What does it mean to say that "might makes right"? " <br>
<br>
- It's essentially saying that the most powerful have a duty to use
that power against the rest of us. <br>
<br>
"Is political power ultimately nothing but the rule of the strongest,
the most powerful, the most persuasive on TV? " <br>
<br>
- Yes because the nation state is nothing if not organized coercion.
All the money it generates is stolen through taxes (behind threats of
violence) and it's borders protected through threats of violence. <br>
<br>
"Is a government anything more than the power of those who run it? " <br>
<br>
- A government is not real. It's a conceptual tag. All the things the
government does is done by specific individuals. The reason it's
powerful is because it represents the psychological trauma of
childhood. The same parts of the brain light up in familial relations
as political ones and next to none is involved with the neo frontal
cortex (the reasoning part of our brain). <br>
<br>
"In your opinion, what makes a government legitimate? " <br>
<br>
- Nothing. It breaks from it's own principles immediately after it
states them. It's posed as a solution to theft, murder, rape and
kidnapping (among other things) and yet inflicts ALL of those as a
solution for them. It's a logical contradiction and wholly evil.
Police kidnap, steal from and murder people everyday and puts those
people it kidnaps in a place where they will likely be raped weekly.
Just because a man wears a uniform does not make him exempt from
simple logic. Soldiers murder, the police steal and it's not justified
ever. <br>
<br>
"Why are there governments at all?" <br>
<br>
- Because our parents exempt themselves from the rules they force us
to abide by.
answers6: Might makes right- means the most powerful makes the rules. <br>
<br>
Political power- There is also an element of back door deals and arm
twisting from the cleverest. Political power is divided so that rule
of the strongest really doesn't happen in the US. <br>
<br>
Yes government is more than power for those who run it, because in
America the gov't is made up of the people. That makes it a force to
create society not just a source of power. <br>
<br>
Gov't is made legitimate by the peoples decree, by force, or by peace
and prosperity. <br>
<br>
Governments will always be around to create structure of rules and
security for all people to live under. This can degenerate into
dictatorship pretty easily though.
answers7: My philosophy is to stay out of sex, religion and politics's <br>

what was john locke's philosophy?

answers1: Locke was one of the great empiricists, meaning he believed
valid knowledge could only come from experience, observation and
experimentation. This contrasts with rationalists who believed that
the intellect and reason were most important. For example, Locke
believed that the mind was a "blank slate" at birth, and got filled
with facts and knowledge through experience. A rationalist would say
that many truths can be arrived at through reason alone (e.g. advanced
mathematics). Locke's political philosophy was also very influential
and laid the foundation for the democracy and freedom that formed the
U.S. Constitution. Locke was influenced in his political philosophy by
Spinoza whom he came to learn about during his time in the Amsterdam
area.
answers2: John Locke (1632-1704) believed that human nature was
inherently good. Though, even good people could be selfish and thus
there was a need from the State. He is credited to the idea of "checks
and balances" in government. Locke also provided the justification for
revolution. He believed in the principal of a social contract,
therefore if the state became tyrannical, the people had the duty to
revolt against the state. Like Hobbes, Locke was inspired by the
events around him. He wrote his most famous book Second Treatise on
Government at the time of the Glorious Revolution in England.
Therefore, you trust the government to do something and if they don't
do it then take back your trust; he also believed that human beings
had rights that the government had to consider. In his view, the state
should be democratic in property holders, not everyone.

What are some philosophy books that they use in college?

answers1: First a correction on the other answers. Odds are that you
will not read Santayana or Heidegger; it is also unlikely that you
will read the Bhagavad Gita. It is also not likely that you will study
other religions (that is for a comparative religion course). you MIGHT
read Immanuel Kant (not 'Emanuel') but less likely. None of the above
is absolute of course since instructors do some quirky things <br>
<br>
Most likely you will be assigned one of a huge variety of anthologies
containing readings by Plato, Descartes, Locke, Hume, etc.
answers2: Plato's, The Republic <br>
<br>
Heiddeger, Being and time. (not that i would reccommend anyone
actually read it.) <br>
<br>
some compilation books on some particular subject like logic or
epistemology. <br>
<br>
David Hume, Treatise of Human Nature <br>
<br>
George Santayana, The Sense of Beauty (Asthetics) <br>
<br>
the Empiricists <br>
<br>
the Rationalists <br>
<br>
Minds and Bodies <br>
<br>
Descartes <br>
<br>
Emanuel Kant <br>
<br>
the Bahgidvad Gita (indian philosophy) <br>
<br>
religions of the world
answers3: I am probably the only person in the world with a philosophy
degree that has not read the republic... LOL. Although I've read
excerpts. <br>
<br>
But I went to a catholic school, so we read a lot of Aristotle,
Aquinas and Augustine. <br>
<br>
It really depends... Philosophy is such a broad subject. <br>
<br>
First it will depend on the school, then the professor's interest, and
then the teaching style. Some instructors like to take one text and
beat it to death. I teach now, and I prefer to read small excerpts
from different texts and compare and contract dissimilar thinking on
the same ideas. <br>
<br>
If the purpose is to get a head start, I would consider purchasing a
good general intro book and reading it. It will give you an overview
of the different ideas. Even if you end up reading someone not in the
book, you'll be familiar with the theory. <br>
<br>
If you really want to know (I did when researching graduate schools).
Visit the philosophy department of the school you're considering.
Look at the syllabi online. Many instructors have an online copy with
the required books. Or, you can go to the online bookstore of the
school and see what books are listed for the philosophy courses. <br>
<br>
I know that last part seems like a lot but I did it when researching
graduate schools. I didn't want to just do catholic philosophy again
:) <br>
<br>
<br>
UPDATE: By Catholic Philosophy, I didn't mean religion. I'm a
philosophy instructor as well, so I kinda get the difference between
philosophy and theology. :) <br>
<br>
I meant philosophers approved by the Catholic Church. <br>
<br>
And purchase a general interest book, also known as an anthology....
