Arts & Humanities - 20 July 2007

I am painting pictures and have just started in Acrylics and don't really know much about them. I find it frustrating that the paint dries so quickly, and so when doing a large area it does not go on smoothly because it dries so quickly. I'm looking for something that will help with the flow of paint.

Coercion
The most obvious form of motivation is coercion, where the avoidance of pain or other negative consequences has an immediate effect. When such coercion is permanent, it is considered slavery. While coercion is considered morally reprehensible in many philosophies, it is widely practiced on prisoners, students in mandatory schooling, and in the form of conscription. Critics of modern capitalism charge that without social safety networks, wage slavery is inevitable. However, many capitalists such as Ayn Rand have been very vocal against coercion[citation needed]. Successful coercion sometimes can take priority over other types of motivation. Self-coercion is rarely substantially negative (typically only negative in the sense that it avoids a positive, such as undergoing an expensive dinner or a period of relaxation), however it is interesting in that it illustrates how lower levels of motivation may be sometimes tweaked to satisfy higher ones.

I LOVE to act and I want to pursue my dream of being in a movie. How can a 13 yr old boy become an actor in Dallas, Texas. Can someone tell me the steps to becoming an actor? I really want to be on Disney, but I will settle for anything.

Yes. He should have ordered Col. Tibbetts and his brave crew to park fat man and little boy right on the Imperial Palace in Tokyo and incinerated Hirohito. Revisionist history now indicates that Hirohito, although somewhat weak, was really a man of peace. This interpretation is total BS. Hirohito was as big a war criminal as Tojo and we should have incinerated him. Comments??

Controversial history has been subject to conspiracy theories since the beginning of time. Did man really walk on the moon? Who shot JFK? And more recently, who was behind 9/11? The World Trade Centre’s (WTC) were located in Lower Manhattan, New York, and built in the 1960’s. Consisting of seven steel structures in total, these buildings were a part of New York City’s skyline and were recognised all over the world as an icon of the United States of America. Since their untimely demise on that fateful day of September 11, 2001, theories as to who was behind the tragedy have arisen from the debris. Was it an act of terrorism? Or was it more likely an inside job, covertly arranged by multi-million dollar, power hungry American men*? Although painful to suggest that such a disaster of this magnitude was caused by people of their own nation, more and more evidence is being found that leads us to doubt the validity that foreign “terrorists” perpetrated the attacks. Today, almost 7 years late

Why should people strive for goals, marriage, a family, etc if everything dies eventually? Why become a doctor when you'll die eventually and your patients will die too?
