Sorry Gerry. This is the best I can find. <br>
<br>
Is the National Humanities Medal America's answer to the OBEs and the
CBEs awarded in the UK? <br>
<br>
I think they are awarded to people who have mad a valuable
contribution to society. It's not just for the Arts and high falutin
cultural stuff. <br>
<br>
They are, I believe awarded to ordinary people. It could be in
recognition of someones charity fundraising, or someone who represents
a group of people whose job is important. A nurse, doctor, fireman
and etc. Just ordinary people doing their amazing best. <br>
<br>
People like the Glasgow baggage handler John Smeaton who was awarded
the QGM (Queen's Gallantry Medal) for his bravery in dealing with the
attempted bombers at Glasgow Airport. There are a lot of famous
people who are awarded them. They may be actors or sportsmen and women
and etc. I think they are awarded in the Queens honours list
answers2: Nope, civilians won't be able to be offered the national
protection medal. Any fake verbal, written or actual declare to the
national protection service Medal, via somebody to whom it has no
longer been offered, is a federal legal offense punishable via as much
as six months in penitentiary and as much as a $5000 wonderful.
Civilans might nicely be offered some protection stress medals. they
are able to now be offered the Bronze famous individual Medal. To the
poster who reported John Wayne became offered the Congressional Medal
of Honor. No he wasn't. John Wayne became offered the: Presidential
Medal of Freedom

Art is the most creative way for communication possible. I think the
most valuable form of art is that type of art that involves either
painting your feelings on a canvas, or pouring them out onto a blank
page, or shouting them out on the stage.

Courses at College/Art School?

answers1: If you go to a reputable art school, you'll have to take a
certain number of classes outside your major. Certainly math and
English. But you'll be there with other art majors, and the English
writing class, for example, will focus more on writing in the arts, so
you may find it more interesting than a regular Freshman Writing class
would be at a standard college. <br>
<br>
There are way better art schools out there than the AI chain, or the
NYFA. Examples of good art schools in the NY area include Pratt,
Parsons, School of Visual Arts, Mass Art, RISD, U of the Arts.

Is there a more simplify word for drawing, photography, and sculptures?

answers1: This question restates those asked at least 3 times in the
past and you should research those periods for their answers. The
first occurred after the US Civil War when some people claimed that
photography was only good for recording facts (like dead bodies and
live portraiture) and could not be/was not art while photographers
were capturing images of nature, etc., that clearly were art. The next
occurred after WWI when a battle went between people who believed that
photos had to show recognizable if highly detailed scenes (think of
Ansel Adams nature) and those that believed the photographic process
should be manipulated to abstract qualities (think of solarization and
direct imaging) and the third battle was over the use of color in "art
photographs" where people who accepted photography as art believed
that only black and white was art and color was snapshots or was "too
real" to be art - the Amon Carter Museum in Ft.Worth has held a couple
of exhibits in recent years of the images of the pioneers in this last
battle.
answers2: Other than visual art, drawing and photography are often
referred to as 2D art forms and sculpture as 3D. But perhaps you mean
the word "medium" (media) which is the material that is used in the
artwork. You can get into more descriptive terms for each medium such
as marble or wood sculpture, etc., or colored pencil drawing, but that
is not very simple. Hope this helps.

sorry sunshine, they got rid of graphics :( all of them were forced to
retrain as of last year.. You used to have to submit a portfolio that
was considered along with your ASVAB scores. All the other branches
still have this job if you're dead set on it. However with a BA you
could try and commission. They don't really stick you anywhere you
have experience but the pay is better and you might learn some things.
I'm a 3N0X2 aka Radio/TV broadcaster and we do tons of graphics stuff
however. Whenever I'm bored I play our new CS4 stuff, which is
awesome. Besides being a news reporter I do web design, posters,
signs, animations.. It's like being graphics, only better. I recommend
it -- the ASVAB's only a 76 I think

<br>
And, Air Force doesn't guarantee jobs. <br>
<br>
Army does. Join the Army. <br>
But, you won't be "just" doing graphic work in the Army. You will be
a soldier first and training for combat all the time. <br>
<br>
But, listen up. You do NOT join the military for a JOB. If that is
how you see it, then, don't enlist and go to community college for
graphic arts and you will be really trained for that kind of work.
<br>
<br>
You join the military to be IN the military. The job you get is
secondary to your ability to SERVE. You join the military to SERVE.
<br>
The military can assign you to any job it wishes even if you have a
trained job already. <br>
<br>
AF never assigns people to work out of their AFSC. <br>
But, Army will assign people to work out of their MOS if they need you
to do that at some base/post. <br>

Reevaluate why you want to join the military. <br>

how you appreciate an arts or visual arts?

answers1: Actually I don't dig those famous paintings on historical
museums that has some meaning whatsoever, but I do know what I like. I
go for visual interests, technicality, freshness and concept.
answers2: Google art theory & art history.
answers3: Hi. You sound as if you really know how to be an artist
without our help. I can only tell you about European Art and I hope
you will not change your own work. I think the best book about art
that all art students read when they are in college is " The Story of
Art " by Gombricht. That gives you a whole picture of the history and
art appreciation, but it is long and if English is not your first
language it might be tedious. <br>
The very best thing I could think of for you might be to get the
series of programmes on Video, CD , DVD. made by Sir Kenneth Clarke
called " Civilisation." That gives you everything you could want and
you can watch them over and over again. I hope you can get them.
Perhaps on Ebay. <br>
Good luck with your painting.

Was the Quartering Act apart of the Intolerable Acts?

answers1: The quartering act was not one of the intolerable acts. It
was one of the acts that lead to war, but it was not a direct response
to the Boston Tea Party.
answers2: because the Intolerable Acts were sent after the Boston Tea
Party.The colonists from Massachusetts threw tea at the river which
costs a lot.The Intolerable Acts were made to punish colonists from
Massachusetts for the lost tea.I guess if the Boston Tea Party didn't
occur, there would be no Intolerable Acts.
answers3: The Quartering Act stated that colonists had to take in
troops and clothe them, feed them, and give them a house to live in
correct? the Intolerable Acts, had nothing to do with that. Good luck
and God bless.
answers4: They were all part of the same problem. It is a common
misconception that everything happened very quickly. You have to
remember that it took a very long time for information to go from the
colonies to England. The colonists first tried peaceful measures
before resorting to protest and eventually war. These measures took a
long time as messages between England and the colonies took a long
time.

what are 10 facts about the sugar act?

answers1: Sugar Act Facts
answers2: Passed on September 17, 1764, the Sugar Act was an Act of
the Parliament of Great Britain, a revision to the earlier Sugar and
Molasses Act of 1733, which had imposed a tax of sixpence per gallon
on molasses in order to make English products cheaper than those from
the French West Indies. Colonists had largely evaded the earlier tax
by bribing local officials. The Sugar Act, passed under the leadership
of British Prime Minister Lord George Grenville, reduced the tax from
sixpence to threepence but provided for the tax to be strictly
enforced and expanded its scope to include wine, cloth, Coffee,
cambric, pimento, and Printed calico and other goods. <br>
<br>
Effect on the colonies: <br>
<br>
The Sugar Act was one of three acts forced by Gren poser to collect
tax for the money used in the French and Indian war. This caused local
production to increase in the colonies, but colonists did not view it
as taxation without representation until 1765, and it was one of the
most minor causes of the American Revolution.The Act was abolished due
to the economic pressure the protest had on British economy. <br>
<br>
This Act also allowed officers to seize goods from smugglers without
going to court. The Sugar Act and the new laws to control smuggling
angered the colonists. The colonists boycotted the taxed goods. <br>
<br>
The chief power behind the protests to the Sugar Act was Samuel Adams.
Claiming the Act to be against the British constitution, natural law,
and the Massachusetts charter and therefore, void, he failed to incite
either the other colonies or the bulk of Massachusetts citizens to
protest. Switching tactics to emotional appeals and mongering fear
that future, equally unrepresented, acts would affect the broader
populace (especially land owners), Adams and his supporters were able
to get some moderate groundswell of protestation. This background
level of dissent, largely engineered by Adams, helped to foment the
more widespread resistance to the Stamp Act 1765.

home theater systems vs movie theater fadeing away?

answers1: Home theater movie services are all over online and can also
help you with your problems in your home theater system. Also, from
their site you can buy quality products easily and also at a very much
cheap rate. Good Luck!
answers2: I've been thinking about that more and more lately myself.
Just as video arcades have nearly disappeared now that there are so
many home gaming systems, movie theaters will begin to fade as well.
<br>
But I doubt that they will go entirely. There are still drive-in
theaters around if you look hard enough and you can still find a small
video arcade as well. <br>
The 3-D isn't really for the benefit of the movie theaters, it's for
the upcoming 3D TV systems. They want to start pushing the new 3D
stuff for the home and they won't get very far if there isn't a lot of
movies (and perhaps TV shows) to view on those expensive systems.
<br>
But the appeal of getting out of the house and a dinner and movie
night isn't likely to fade a lot. It'll take many years before that
happens. They are working on a digital transmission of movies to
theaters (no more film) and of course upgraded equipment. When the
economy is bad (like now) theaters make a lot more money. <br>
I'd say 20-30 years before they are significantly gone from the mainstream.

Why is Philosophy Important?

answers1: Philosophy is about as valuable as a used diaper.
answers2: i agree 100%, well said
answers3: You're proper- but most effective partly. What you suppose
was once undoubtedly correct when Aristotle used to be around. When
you consider that then, philosophy has branched out into other
disciplines, arithmetic and physics, for illustration. Scholasticism
that held sway till renaissance served as handmaid of faith. Which, in
outcome, way a dogmatic conclusion was given and philosophy had to to
find proofs to justify it. I think Kant was once the pioneer of
state-of-the-art philosophy. He eliminated the last traces of
scholasticism but in the approach, he became metaphysics the other way
up. Present day philosophy has an totally delicate challenge to
participate in. It has to find the ideal law with which information
gleaned by way of different sciences can fit in. On this experience,
it stands at a 2nd cast off from observable data ( observable is used
here in widest feel). I agree you've gotten put philosophy on the
pedestal it deserves. However I disagree it should be a foremost
subject alongside math and science in the course of grade university.
My argument is scholars lack maturity stage to fully grasp philosophy.
We need to wait until one has grasped lots of the facts. To present an
instance, Stephen Hawking's try to to find TOE (theory of the whole
thing) is quite philosophical in nature.
answers4: Philosophy answers all the fundamental questions - see Schopenhauer.
answers5: I agree if nothing else it's good to question the world
around you and how you live your life. It's part of what separates us
from machines that just do as they told (programmed) to do. People
should always want more. A good example of this is the books 1984 and
brave new world
answers6: I essentially agree. Philosophical ideas are tossed out,
and they undergo a form of testing in the arena of public discourse.
Some fall by the way (many...) and some seem to contribute to some
understanding of ourselves, which is what it's all about.
answers7: Nope!!

Philosophy outside intelligence?

answers1: Well, I have a dog who seems to be lacking in intelligence,
his dumb luck is amazing. He is so ugly he's cute, won't fetch a
stick, doesn't even chase off cats... But, somehow he seems to know
when one needs some quiet company, a paw in your lap as he looks you
in the eye... his philosophy seems to be working quite well for him...
:)
answers2: If by intelligence, you mean human thought, the answer is
no. Philosiphy is a person's perspective on a subject. A perspective
can only exist within human thought.
answers3: Most academic philosophy, the stuff they teach in schools,
is inside, or confined to intellect. "Intelligence" is a word with
somewhat broader meaning than "intellect." There is an abstract
intelligence that goes beyond formal intellect, but there is more
beyond that. The ultimate questions can not be adequately answered by
intellect alone. <br>
<br>
There is trans-intellectual philosophy that is compatible with but not
limited to intelligence. It is intuitive, transcendental, and
mystical. But note that many intellectual types will tell you these
latter words have little meaning. <br>
<br>
Everything depends, not just on what one thinks, but what one is, that
is, what you are conscious of. Consciousness is far more than
intellect and emotions.
answers4: Outside the frame for sure, but outside of intelligence, I
don't think so.
answers5: Very solutive. I'll suppress my brother's laughter.
Philosophy is a system of beliefs and rational investigation into
existence and knowledge. Beliefs are an intelligence related
characteristic. Nothing else has beliefs, at least nothing currently
known.
answers6: yap. Even if someone is stupid, he still can come out with
his own philosophy
answers7: Intellect is an essential part of philosophy, but this does
not mean that philosophy is essentially and solely intellectual. There
is great love in philosophy: the highest of passion can bring the
highest of knowledge.
answers8: I'm pretty sure there is. A lot of my philosophies come from
my feelings. I just write down whatever comes to mind.

Need help with philosophy!?

answers1: soz i dunno. all i know is that philosphy started with the
greeks centuries ago if that helps xD.
answers2: 60's were defnitely about the freedom of expression. Hippies
were yearning for freedom from the Man. Peace and love of course but
also rejection of fear. Hippies in the 60's wanted to let loose and
show the world the greatness of freedom. But of course there were
conservative people who believed in the old-fashioned ways. Nice
suits, short hair, denying reality of progression. the 60's were an
era of happiness, love, peace, the beginning of rock and roll, long
hair, funky clothes, pot, and experiementing with mind-expanding drugs
:). Also, a lot of sexual activity :)

answers4: 1960, analytic philosophy has shown a revival of interest in
the history of philosophy, as well as attempts to integrate
philosophical work with scientific results, especially in psychology
and cognitive science.

Philosophy....academic or practical?

answers1: What the heck. Your question puzzled me at first glance.
Then I realized that it's a false dilemma and you're confused.
Academic philosophy IS the practical kind. I completely agree with
tuesdaysgreen. Most philosophers at universities are very practical
people, I'd even argue more practical that the everyday layman, and
they use their knowledge and research to work with the rest of the
community. Philosophers of mind can work with computer scientists on
problems concerning A.I. Ethicists work with politics, public policy,
medical ethics board advisers, etc. Philosophers of science may
collaborate with scientists to help solve problems about time and
space. I don't know where you get off saying that philosophy is ether
academic or practical. That's the problem with many of the people here
on Y!A. Pretty much nobody knows a lick of academic philosophy. They
might as well call this section "random questions" Hardly any of the
questions here actually relate to academic philosophy. Or if they do
you have to bend over backwards to make them. <br>
<br>
btw. tuesdaysgreen, if you read this. I've seen tons of your answers.
You're actually one of the very few people here that I agree with
almost every time they answer something related to philosophy. I
notice you cite SEP a lot (which is prob why i agree with u so much.
you're giving answers from articles written by scholars) I can't tell
if you're like an undergrad or a graduate student in philosophy who
actually knows a lot, or if you're just really good at doing research
with SEP. Either way you actually give real answers. Just wanted to
let you know. It's refreshing for this section.
answers2: I think it's a combination of natural understanding & knowledge
answers3: I base it on logic mostly, so I suppose a combination.
answers4: I don't see how anyone can think philosophy impractical
after thinking about it at all. Every time somebody makes a value
judgment, they're doing philosophy, which means that studying some
philosophy can help them do it better. Just try to avoid making any
value judgments for a whole day, see how practical it is to avoid
philosophy. <br>
<br>
Just as an example, what is more practical than ethics? What is your
idea of a practical subject, chemistry? Do we use knowledge of
chemistry more often than judgments about what actions are right or
wrong? <br>
<br>
Go to a philosophy department, and you're likely to find ten immensely
prectical and community-involved people for every one
head-in-the-clouds type that people who are not working philosophers
assume that working philosophers must be. <br>
<br>
Seriously, it's the oldest of all academic disciplines. Why should
"academic" be "impractical"? Engineering is an academic discipline,
but I don't hear anyone calling it impractical.
answers5: The Stoic philosopher Epictetus wrote, "What is philosophy?
Does it not mean making preparation to meet the things that come upon
us?" <br>
(Discourses 3.10.6). <br>
If philosophy is not practical - if it cannot help one to understand
the world, oneself, one's actions, purpose, suffering - then it serves
no purpose. Academic philosophy, to me, is no more than mental
masturbation. It's not going to finally do anything meaningful for
you. <br>
I've known plenty of people who have read Plato in order to be able to
say "I've read Plato" and one would never guess, from their behavior,
that they'd ever read anything deeper than the Sunday Comics section.
If philosophy doesn't in some way impact, change, help direct your
life, help give you perspective in a dark time, it's worthless.
answers6: I declare victory.
answers7: Mainly practical...In order to maintain a certain level of
happiness and understanding in my own day to day life, philosophy
provides to me a certain level of propriety and morality.

i want to answer to somebodies questions on hindu philosophy.can i help?

answers1: on a similar time as your good judgment is nice that
questions meant to reason excitement and protest might desire to be
disillusioned with dismissal outright, the organic tendency of the
human beings is to react in straightforward terms. See how youthful
Senthil's sentiment is matched by using some senior participants
additionally. quite often we don't taunt different Faiths bringing up
their scriptures and thinking their purpose etc extremely many attempt
to entice parallels to the commonality interior the training etc
that's additionally no longer enjoyed by using the different Faiths.
For they have sturdy theory that throughout straightforward terms
their faith is actual and others fake. you may have considered how
some possible least offensive questions bearing directly to different
Faiths getting deleted earlier the 1st reaction is provided in. Such
alert removing shold be there for malicioua questions approximately
Hinduism additionally, as rightly talked approximately by using some
pal right here. coming up a ruckus by using abusing the different
faith could be opposite to our faith. i do no longer flow with the
grievance that divisions interior us is a reason for the repeat
provocations. in fact all are lot greater acceptable than the
different team. nonetheless a greater effectual way of dealing with
the prospect might flow an prolonged thank you to chop back trolls
enjoying mischief against Hindus. that's what Poondi Haritha and
countless different different senior participants have expressed. The
infants might desire to seem at this in useful perspective extremely
than emotionally.
answers2: Hindus worship Baal, just like Kabbalists and Mormons. <br>
<br>
Baal ( /be?l/ bayl; sometimes spelled Bael, Baël (French), Baell) is
one of the seven princes of Hell. He is mentioned widely in the Old
Testament as the primary pagan idol of the Phoenicians, often
associated with the heathen goddess Ashtaroth. <br>
<br>
------------------ <br>
<br>
When I looked, I saw that you had sinned against the LORD your God;
you had made for yourselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. You
had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you.
<br>
(Deuteronomy 9:16) <br>
<br>
------------------ <br>
<br>
The Cow and the Bull <br>
<br>
Cow and bull worship is the practice of fertility cults and harlotry.
It encourages having a harem, and "not wanting to make covenant". This
is Baal worship. Freemasonry and Mormonism is worship of the Bull /
Baal. The fertility cult at the very least is infidelity in the mind
and in the thoughts, as well as in action. Baal is even using some
devices for sexual perversion i.e. sex toys, etc. <br>

answers4: Hindu philosophy is very complex and does not conform to
normal logic. You may find it helpful to have the following points in
mind: (1) Hinduism teaches that the god Brahman includes three
forms—Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver, and Siva the
Destroyer. But Hindus do not think of a personal god with an
individual existence. (2) Hindus believe that all natural objects
possess a soul that never dies, that the soul experiences a virtually
endless cycle of reincarnation, that the forms in which it is reborn
are determined by deeds (Karma), that release from this "endless
wheel" is possible only by extinguishing all physical desire, and that
if this is achieved, the soul will merge with the universal spirit.
(3) In general, Hindus respect other religions. Hindus believe that,
in spite of the fact that they teach conflicting doctrines, all
religions lead to the same truth. <br>
Many instead of trying to deal with the complexities of Hindu
philosophy, present the satisfying truths found in the Holy Bible.
God's loving provisions for life are open to people of all kinds, and
the clear truths in his Word will reach the hearts of those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness. Only the Bible provides a truly
well-founded hope for the future; only the Bible gives really
satisfying answers to the important questions that face all mankind.
Give them opportunity to hear those answers. It is of interest that
the Hindu Rig-Veda hymn, 10. 121, is entitled "To the Unknown God." In
some cases you may find it appropriate to refer to this in a manner
similar to the apostle Paul's reference to the altar "To an Unknown
God" in Athens. (Acts 17:22, 23) Interestingly, the name of the Hindu
god Vishnu, without the digamma, is Ish-nuh, which in Chaldee means
"the man Noah." Point out what the Bible says about the significance
of the global Flood in the days of Noah. <br>
