Art is very subjective, yet very objective. When the topic of art in Europe is brought up, one draws their mind to Michelangelo or St. Peter’s Basilica. Those classic, yet timeless pieces of art are something that will forever be part of our modern conscientious and understanding of art. But the reason that art will be considered subjective and objective is that those two ideas are what people seek in art. People seek reasoning for why art is made, and if those reasonings align with the ...

The spirit of the soldiers is worthy of our admiration, are they use their lives to protect the peace, is that they guard the security of the territory behind, let people live and work in peace. They take children reluctant to part and go, they fight in the care of relatives; They gave up their love, they gave up their comfort… Just like the American soldiers in World War II. When Nazi-occupied France, on June 6, 1944, Allies began a battle at Normandy, France, known as “Operation Overlord.” ...

The Democrats were threatened by the change going on in the nation, while the Whigs thrived from it. The Democrats, lead majorly by Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, supported free trade and wanted to limit the federal government. This party was ...

He claimed to be the defeat of his enemies and to remove their possessions, his wives and their children. ...

In the span of thirty-two years, Jefferson sent and received numerous letters from individuals that shared his point of view regarding slavery. He also exchanged letters with men like Henri Gregoire and Benjamin Banneker who did not fully agree with his writings. Regardless ...
The above excerpt encapsulates the principle articulated by the ECJ in Hoffmann-La Roche (HLR) i.e. exclusive purchasing agreements and loyalty-inducing rebates are abusive by their very nature. The excerpt thus invites the discussions about the current and future development of the case law in the regime of exclusive dealing and conditional rebates, particularly since Intel potentially indicated a departure from the ‘form-based’ approach to a de facto ‘effects-based’ analysis, thus bringing ...
When we don’t learn from history, we are doomed to repeat history. The holocaust was such a horrible event, and if it was directly caused by one nation, it involved the complicity of several others, and a lot of deaths could have been prevented by countries like the USA and Canada if we had been only willing to accept more Jewish refugees before the war. Why should we learn about the holocaust?However the antisemitism disease seemed to be a world-wide phenomenon. Because it's something really ...
