"Flags Of Our Fathers" - A Photograph's Ability To Shape Popular Perception Of An Event
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Perhaps no other photographic image represents the inherently painful conditions of political and social upheaval than that of Joe Rosenthal's famous photograph of Marines raising a U.S. flag over Iwo Jima during World War II. The historic image - which "derives its power from a simple, dynamic composition, a sense of momentum and the energy of six men straining toward a common goal" (Macy, 2006) - illustrates just how popular perception of an event revolves around considerable randomness and unpredictability inherently associated with the historic impact a given photo might embody.

[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the criticism that has been waged by some authors against "National Geographic". Analyzing those criticisms and evaluating them against one specific article in particular this paper concludes that "National Geographic" is not a political publication and it is not intended to be.

"Sword And Sheath," "Scholar's Studio" And "Red, White And Blue" - The Color Red
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The color red in any context indicates strength, power and even defiance; in some cases, it also means a statement about war, conflict and other strife. Compared to all other colors of the rainbow, the color red is symbolic of political, social and religious ideals where a strong statement needs to be made. Within the art world, the color red represents the same indicators, often utilized in such a way as to blend with softer colors in order to temper the strength so prominent in red. Three countries with artists who proudly use red as a reflection of their nations' history are Africa, Korea and the United States, with red being a prominent color in Sword and Sheath, Scholar's Studio and Red, White and Blue. The theme associated with red in each of these works of art illustrates how each artist utilizes the color to represent strong emotional attachment to his or her country. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

'Popeye is Not a Mickey Mouse Affair'
[ send me this paper ]
Arguments have existed suggesting that fictional characters cannot be copyrighted because they are an abstraction of the minds of the viewer and, therefore, can have no tangible existence outside the original work. Yet it is now recognized that both Popeye and Mickey Mouse receive copyright protection on the basis that they were sufficiently developed to command protection. This 12 page paper considers the issue of copyright laws as they have developed in Japan and reflects upon the notion that fictional characters like Mickey Mouse and Popeye have been 'developed sufficiently to command protection.'
