Haiti is a diverse country with different languages. Haitian Creole is the national language of Haiti. All Haitians speak Haitian Creole besides the 10% that speak French. The people that have learned French learned it from either home or school. Haitian Creole is used in everyday lives. Today, the Haitian’s consider Creole as a co-official language along with French. Creole is used in mass media and education more often now. Haitian Creole also finally has a written language. This shows how they

When most people hear the term, “corrections” they probably think of prisons, striped uniforms, cellblocks, armed guards, and surly prisoners. Part of American corrections is prisons, but corrections is much more than that. Corrections includes prisons, jails, halfway houses, group homes, probation, parole, intensive supervision, electric monitoring, restitution programs, victim-offender mediation, and even the death penalty. Corrections can be defined as all that society does to and with offenders

Essentially unchanged for more than thirteen centuries, the Dome of the Rock remains one of the world's most beautiful and enduring architectural treasures. Adorned with its magnificent gold dome and elaborate quranic inscriptions, the structure intimately represents the world's second largest religion in a city historically associated with the three Semitic faiths. Representation, however, is not the only effect of this site. Despite its intended purpose, the Dome of the Rock inherently stands as

Edward Hopper exemplifies the zenith of 20th century American Realism. After training under Robert Henri at the New York School of Art, Hopper worked as a commercial illustrator for the first half of his life. In fact, although Hopper sold a variety of prints and watercolors on the side, he did not achieve his first artistic success until he was forty-three. At the Rehn Gallery in 1924, all of Hopper's works on display were purchased. From that point on, Hopper's use of light, isolation, and narrative

bias but not much. It’s obvious though that he does not endorse Hitler. In class we learned about Hitler and some of the things he did like, how he “had dreams of becoming an architectural artist.” And how he had “horrible charisma.” I would only recommend this book to someone who really liked Bill O’Reilly’s writing style and who really enjoyed military history as the book is a little

response to the exponential growth in demand for motor cars. Melbourne and Sydney embraced the fact that the world was getting more technologically advanced, that new styles and movements were emerging and that experimentation was everywhere. Australia was not in a time lapse during this movement and followed closely behind American and Europe with use of technologies and trends. Australia being very rich in its minerals, allowed easy access to develop modern

     Native American architecture varies greatly from region to region throughout North America, and was influenced by factors such as climate, kind of community, and the natural environment. Whereas some buildings were designed and constructed for specified functions, others, such as Anasazi great houses, were massive multi-purpose structures. Because great houses from Chaco Canyon are so well preserved, it is possible to have a decent understanding of the structure of Anasazi

The term ``Pop Art'' was first used by the English critic Lawrence Alloway in a 1958 issue of Architectural Digest to describe those paintings that celebrate post-war consumerism, defy the psychology of Abstract Expressionism, and worship the god of materialism. The most famous of the Pop artists, the cult figure Andy Warhol, recreated quasi-photographic

notable and advanced were the Maya, who built their sacred city and ceremonial metropolis in the western part of Honduras ("Honduras Newspapers"). In 1821, Honduras declared independence with Spain along with other Central American countries (Gottlieb 791). In 1855, North American soldiers of fortune led by William Walker tried to convert Central America into a United States colony. United States banana companies dominated Honduran politics till after 1911. Fruit companies were able to choose presidents

Buying a home is one of the biggest milestones a person can accomplish, and in the American society, bigger is usually better. With larger homes, there is a certain sense of prestige and wealth that comes along with them. Unfortunately, what home buyers do not tend to know, is just how bad that home is to not only their health, but to the environment and their wallets as well.
