It represents beauty, art, and artistic performance, and that is a vital aspect of the humanities that distinguishes it from many other aspects of our culture. It exists to entertain and enlighten, rather than to teach or solve problems. As noted, this musical compares favorably with many other musicals popular around the same time. The music is especially memorable - in fact, many popular recording artists of the time, including Barbra Streisand, had hit songs with music from the musical, and so, it found its way into pop culture and interest. I am not familiar with many Broadway musicals of the time, but it fits into the same type of cultural expression that is still popular today - the Broadway musical, which never seems to lose its appeal. Modern musicals have become a lot more staged and complex, like the "Lion King" and "Wicked," but they are essentially, the same - they tell a story through words and music, and entertain the audience with song, dance, sets,...
Not only does the theater represent entertainment and the arts, usually the theaters are beautiful, and some are even ornate. They represent an opulence that is not often experienced today, and so there is a "thrill" that comes from attending the theater with a group of like-minded people.

The humanities were created to help teach a more well rounded and full educational experience, and attending the theater in any form is an expression of that. The theater represents some of the most respected areas of drama, music, and art, and so, illustrates the key concepts of the humanities perfectly.

As Canada has become less wild, many of these obstacles have been recognized by writers to exist internally, as Atwood says: "no longer obstacles to physical survival but obstacles to what we may call spiritual survival, to life as anything more than a minimally human being." Grim survival is that sort of survival which overcomes a specific threat which destroys everything else about one, such as a hurricane or plane
Pedagogic Model for Teaching of Technology to Special Education Students Almost thirty years ago, the American federal government passed an act mandating the availability of a free and appropriate public education for all handicapped children. In 1990, this act was updated and reformed as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which itself was reformed in 1997. At each step, the goal was to make education more equitable and more accessible to

Slave Narrative and Black Autobiography - Richard Wright's "Black Boy" and James Weldon Johnson's Autobiography The slave narrative maintains a unique station in modern literature. Unlike any other body of literature, it provides us with a first-hand account of institutional racially-motivated human bondage in an ostensibly democratic society.
