    Is it their skin color? Their language? Their appearance? Or maybe the tragic occurrence of September 11th? Over the years, Muslims have rapidly become subjects to one of the many groups that are strongly stereotyped throughout the West. Whether it is religious, physical, traditional, or even affected by disdained feelings against them, Muslims suffer from all kinds of stereotypes. This occurrence, however, is clearly recognized by a Muslim author named Marjane Satrapi. In her graphic novel, Persepolis, Satrapi illustrates her story of living in Iran as a discreet revolutionist child going against the Fundamentalists’ throughout the Islamic Revolution. Proving Iran’s image of having connections with fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism false, Satrapi successfully sheds light upon her subversion to Western stereotypes about Muslims through the use of three illustrative strategic dichotomies. These creative dichotomies include the color usage of black versus white, the significance of big images versus small images, and the illustrative facial expressions of Iranian Fundamentalists versus Iranian Revolutionists.…

This is no exception to Mahbod Seraji, Iranian born, American based writer who wrote his debut novel, which also served as a social novel, Rooftops of Tehran, first published and printed in May 2009 that served as both commentary and criticism to both Iranian and world communities. This essay will try to attempt to provide an insight of what are the main messages behind Mr. Seraji’s Rooftops of Tehran which will be divided into five main points which are, prevalent corruptions among religious scholars and royals, the importance of family and social values, the importance of knowledge, the price of freedom and the concept of reality versus perception. One has to take note that these messages are not solely targeted for one community or area or those with particular interest, but actually served as an insight for the global community whom can view these points from different perspectives and reflect upon the real importance message behind it.…

William Morris was a dynamic and multi-talented man. His name is “indissolubly linked to wallpaper design” (William Morris & Wallpaper Design, [sa]). All his designs were made by hand and not machines because Morris believed that “the tastelessness of mass-produced goods and the lack of honest craftsmanship might be addressed by a reunion of art with craft” (Meggs and Purvis 1998:179).…

    Two paining, which I choose they are traditional painting. When people watch this painting (color and thinking). It is easy for people think about traditional culture. Two pictures show people for peaceful. The sculpture I chose is the Yungang Grottoes “The work on this first period of carving lasted until the year 465 AD, and the caves are now known as caves 16–20. Beginning around the year 471 AD, in a second construction phase that lasted until 494 AD, the twin caves 5/6, 7/8, and 9/10 as well as the caves 11, 12, and probably 13 were constructed under the supervision and support of the imperial court. The imperial patronage ended 494 AD with the move of the Wei court to the new capital of Luoyang. All other caves emerged under private patronage in a third construction period, lasting until 525, when the construction came to a final halt due to uprisings in the area.” Buddha is important in Asian culture, there are many believers. Regarding the cultural identity, I chose the film Yong Zheng Dynasty,Young Zheng was a Emperor, “A hard-working ruler, Yongzheng's main goal was to create an effective government at minimal expense. Like his father, the Kangxi Emperor, Yongzheng used military force to preserve the dynasty's position. Suspected by historians to have usurped the throne, his reign was known as despotic, efficient, and vigorous.” This film, which deeply introduces palace politics struggles.…
