Abstract:
In this paper, I will attempt to explore the following question: If we accept the premise that master historical narratives are shaped by “great people”, how can we truly know about the past? Are there enough sources to know the truth? By looking at contemporary Macedonian history (since 1991) and its master narrative (post-Yugoslav, sovereign), particularly focusing on one key stake holder, namely former president Kiro Gligorov, I plan to examine the Gligorov biography using available sources: web sources, Kiro Gligorov’s memoir Macedonia is all we have, TV and newspaper sources. In this text, Kiro Gligorov’s biography is represented using available, revealed resources. By NAIMA K.

Revolutions have often been about restoring liberty and fighting for freedom. Freedom has always settled well in the minds of the people. However equality as a concept has had a colder reception. The rich don’t want to be equal to the poor; the educated not to the illiterate; the men not to women; and the white not to the coloured. In today’s supposedly “modern” society, inequality is still hidden in every corner. Philosophers, political theorists, revolutionaries, dictators, and many others have struggled to define, to fight for, and to understand equality. What does it mean to be equal? Are all men really born equal? Are we morally obliged to treat everyone equally? Two different sets of answers to these questions can be found in the writings of Jean Jacques Rousseau and Karl Marx.

ABSTRACT
Adolescence is characterized by impulsive and risky decision making. Considering that the brain continues to develop throughout adolescence, the author of this paper hypothesized before researching on the topic that different developmental paces of different brain regions cause risky decision making in adolescence, which are exacerbated by stress and sleep patterns in this period. During research, it is found that the prefrontal cortex, a brain region associated with cognitive functions, is less developed in adolescence than the striatum and amygdala, which play important roles in reward and emotion processing...(continued) By CHUYI YE, Guangzhou, China Stanford Summer Humanities Institute, 2015 Course: Revolutions Professor Dan Edelstein Graduate Teaching Assistant: Sarah Grandin
This paper is an examination of several specific artworks with background information of their corresponding revolution. It begins with a brief introduction of French art history and Russian art history in the time of revolutions and segues into interpretation and analysis of specific artworks. The paper ends with a concrete comparison between propaganda art and artists during the two revolutions and an evaluation of their effects in a broader scope. |
