Art by its nature is a subject of the philosophical, social, economic, political or religious context surrounding its creator. More often than not, a work of art addresses a specific topic or somewhat revolves around a particular person. Therefore, it is impossible to separate the context of a piece of painting, either historical or cultural, to its intrinsic value or the artwork's meaning.

Power and Justice: Both book 1-9 of Genesis and book 1 clearly portray a "higher power" that seeks to uphold justice in the world (often times through punishment).

For the first two weeks of the whole school year for English 2, we read Genesis 1-9 and Book 1 of the Metamorphoses. The two books are all about the Creation Myth, based on the religions and culture of the contemporary society. Although

Face pale with terror, Adam's shaky hand moved to switch on the bedside lamp. Images of Fire and Brimstone, and writhing figures, - men, women and children all - screaming in pain as flames consumed their bodies, flowed through his mind. Eyeballs exploded, and liquefied flesh oozed into fiery lava pits, leaving nothing but a collapsed pile of charred bones on the ground before moments later the victim's human form was resurrected in its entirety, and subjected to the same agonising fate again.

Is Pop Culture Really Making Us Dumb? Everyone has been told at least once in his or her lives watching too much TV is bad for you. Some will argue it makes you dumb or don’t believe everything you see on TV and even “TV kills brain cells”. This goes for all types of media not only TV.

Usually, cartoons are never shown at night, simply because most kids are asleep by that time. I didn’t find anything decent, until I saw this cartoon. I figured it was for children, but I after I saw the theme song, I second guessed that.
