I would categorize his work as "dedicated, obsessive and conceptual."
His work was extremely interesting to me, and what captured me the most was (http://www.insearchofthetruth.net/wp-insearchofthetruth/). It reminded me of the the Ghana ThinkTank (http://www.ghanathinktank.org/) and I wondered if it inspired his work. I loved how he talks about his project and how it connects from one project to another. For example, when he showed The "Pulnabrone Bouncy Dolmen"(http://www.jimricks.info/bouncydolmen.html), I was blown away because I always had a love for bouncy houses but I did not know that one can just make one themselves or have someone make it. I thought it was unique in the sense that his work is inviting and interactive as a piece, which makes it successful

I find it insane on how it inspired his in search of the truth. What I wanted to know more about was "Carpet Bombing" (http://www.jimricks.info/carpetbombing.html) and when Jim went to Afghanistan to get a replica of Ed Ruscha's LACMA on Fire

He is a very creative writer that makes you sit at his words and think. I loved reading this book for that reason. Works Cited for:
In my opinion, his creation of pointillism is outstanding. I am amazed at how the dots somehow create an undeniable texture. It looks as if Georges Seurat captured a fuzzy picture of the scene he was inspired

The actions of the developed nations were justified in regards to imperialism in Africa. Europe desired to gain not only more land, but more power. The Europeans nations and the United States took control over Asia, Africa, and South America. Taking over Africa had its negative effects but overall it was the most feasible and justifiable arrangement.
Africa was a nation that was based off of selling slaves in which the Europeans were familiar with but by 1807, slavery was abolished which made King Leopold II move onto a different resource to line his pockets. The resource he started production on was rubber because of the widespread want for rubber for tires and other manufactured goods. Around the 19th century when Leopold acquired even more land and expanded his production on rubber and sometimes ivory his managers proceeded to force labor and strip away daily cleanliness which eventually led to the widespread disease of malaria which killed as many as 10,000,000 people. With a absolute infectious disease clouding Africa and the seemingly brutal army brought up by Leopold, what really was the driving force behind European Imperialism in Africa?
Since the beginning of modern civilization, man has had a burning desire for land. European nations in particular are well known for being those of imperialists, the act of extending a nation’s power or economy through the process of acquiring land. The strive for power in Africa can be seen dating back to the late 18th century, and continued throughout the early 20th. Europeans practiced imperialism in Africa for several centuries for reasons including economic opportunities, national pride, and the interpreted moral responsibilities.
The weak always gets taken over. That pretty much explains imperialism. Imperialism was was in 1875-1914 in Africa. What was the driving force behind European imperialism in Africa? That is that question that I aim to answer in this essay. The term driving force means reasoning or push. The word imperialism is the act of fully taking over a country. I have three main reasons for the driving force behind European imperialism in Africa: get materials, national competition and to gain more power. The main reason was so that Europeans can gain more power.
His writings exude who he was as a person and how much he believed in the Adult Learner. As I listened to him on the video, I could not write fast enough all the things he was saying or how much he was inspiring me and then the video was over. While both videos were 25 minutes each, I wanted to see more. Both scholars inspired me to understand more about the adult learner and to become self-reflective in my own style of learning.
Strategic bombing is a military strategy used in a total war with the goal of defeating the enemy by destroying its morale or its economic ability to produce and transport materiel to the theatres of military operations. This tactic was used by the United States and Britain against the Germans and Japanese in World War II. Strategic bombing is debated on whether the United States and Britain were justified in using it. The United States and Britain used strategic bombing to protect their people from fascist dictators and were justified in doing so.
I stumbled across it on the way back from a job interview in 2013 and it immediately made me keen to find more of his work.
The relationship between the geography of West Africa and the development of the Kingdom of Ghana go hand in hand. It was a great place for civilization because it flourished over time. The Kingdom of Ghana’s development was helped because of trade and wealth.
Imperialism is defined as one country’s domination of the political, economic, and social life of another country. In Africa in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, imperialism was present and growing. The main countries involved in the imperialism in Africa were the French, German, and Great Britain. The French’s empire was mainly in North and West Africa while Britain’s colonies were scattered throughout the continent. Germany ruled over such countries as Tanganyika, Togoland, and Cameroon, until their defeat in World War I.
i enjoy all his work. One of my favorite quotes by him is ¨ Be the type of person that when your feet touch the ground in the morning the Devil says aww sh@t there up¨. I also like more quotes like, for ex:¨Wake up determined and go to bed satisfied¨. He has been around for a while, but I just didn't realize it till I got older, I liked him ever since.
I feel inspired by him because of the fact that his work seems so care free, as if he did it without caring how the final product will turn out to look. This made me extremely interested in him, also due to my style being very similar to his. I prefer being care free and rough, without knowing how the end product will turn out. To me it's about the emotion that one puts in while doing the work and then being surprised at the end. Working quickly and roughly is the way I express my feelings and I feel like Schiele does the
