Islamic Militarism Since 600 A.D.
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that discusses the history of Islamic militarism. One hears a great deal, in this age of Islamic terrorism, about how the Muslim instigators of indiscriminant violence are not true "Muslims." However, an overview of Islamic militarism shows that, as with Christianity, violence and aggression are integral to Islamic history and that this history very much pertains to the current situation. The writer first discusses Islamic militarism, beginning in 600 A.D. and continuing to the Crusades and then relates this militaristic tradition to Islamic belief and current terrorism.

J.M.W. Turner as the Epitome of Romantic Art
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the work of the 19th century British painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) and the fact that his work serves as a consummate example of what Romanticism in art was and is. Instead of simply recording what he saw before him, Turner was able to translate the scenes he painted into light-filled expressions of his own romantic feelings. In other words, he expressed what is the most fundamental aspect of Romanticism -- showing the sublime in what might be thought of as ordinary. One critic of this age has referred to Turner’s work as “music in paint.” Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Keeping Art In Public Schools
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. It has long been realized how the infusion of creativity serves to enhance the overall level of intelligence; as such, students who are in public schools with active arts programs stand to benefit from the synergistic alliance between creativity and intelligence, a coupling that is being threatened by budget cuts and teacher shortages. To attend public school without the advantage of including art is placing students in an environment without culture; clearly, maintaining a schedule of math, science and English does not fulfill the requirements of a well-rounded education. In short, the presence of art programs in public schools "raises SAT scores; improves reading, math, and spatial skills; increases overall academic performance; and builds self-esteem, self-discipline, creativity, community cohesion, and greater tolerance for difference" (Gee 9). As the author points out, the mixed nature of art helps to bridge the divide student populations have with accepting diversity in their lives. With so much being excised from today's public schools, taking away art programs does nothing short of jeopardize the broad-based knowledge that affords greater knowledge, better opportunities and a sense of accomplishment.
