. . .Therefore I say, Forasmuch as the temporal power has been ordained by God for the punishment of the bad and the protection of the good, we must let it do its duty throughout the whole Christian body, without respect of persons, whether it strike popes, bishops, priests, monks, nuns, or whoever it may be....
I interpret this as him explaining the importance of God and religion and they should listen to him over all others no matter who it may affect
supreme head of the same Church belonging and appertaining; and that our said sovereign lord, his heirs and successors, kings of this realm, shall have full power and authority from time to time to visit, repress, redress, record, order, correct, restrain, and amend all such errors, heresies, abuses, offenses, contempts and enormities, whatsoever they be, which by any manner of spiritual authority or jurisdiction ought or may lawfully be reformed, repressed, ordered, redressed, corrected, restrained, or amended, most to the pleasure of Almighty God
It seems to be that the King is portrayed in a god like manner, he has high powers and can do almost virtually anything
The artist Toyin Ojih Odutola, born in Nigeria and raised in Huntsville, Alabama, is a new kind of visual storyteller
I see her intersectionality playing into her art work. She has the vast differences of where she was born and raised which allows her to create art through different lenses and using her personal perspective from life experiences.
“I understand that this is a significant part of black life around the globe,” she continues, “but if all we’re known for is our pain and our struggle, what does that say? I don’t want young people to feel that is the only way they can talk about themselves, through that lens.
In this I see her trying to speak as an activist, someone who wants to promote good in life instead of being known for pain and struggle. She thinks it's important for these people to talk about themselves in a more positive light.
Art was her escape in this troubled sea. She drew all the time. “I was obsessed,” she tells me, “capturing everything I saw and being fascinated with the incredibly simple task of looking at something and transmitting it onto paper. It’s an immediate magic.”
This speaks out to me because everyone has different methods of "escape" hers turns out to be art, but it's important for everyone to have an outlet.
Ms. Eisenman wants the different elements in her paintings to hang together and tell a serious, sad-funny story.
This speaks to me personally because I appreciate the deeper meaning and value of her work given it is meant to tell a story
Ms. Eisenman’s awareness of the European past is matched by her attention to the politics of the American present.
I see this as her being aware and using identity politics I see her trying to speak as an American who is aware of our current political climate
It is perhaps relevant that her German-Jewish grandparents fled their homeland in 1937, refugees of the Holocaust.
I see her trying to use her art to show what happened to her grandparents and others
“I feel like she doesn’t have the privilege to speak for black people as a whole or for Emmett Till’s family,”
I don't think the artist' goal was to speak for black people as a whole but more so to display what happened and it's importance to culture.
Distinctions between opinions of the law, church, artistic community and general public created a diverse outlook on homosexuality that the artworks the Renaissance is so renowned for allow a valuable perspective and in-depth understanding of.
I feel as this is still true today, artwork is an interpretation of something and everyone interprets things in their own way based on their own views.
The impact could be truly catastrophic
This policy seems to not have all the guidelines yet and realize the consequences if this were to become enacted. I think this idea is seen as controversial to many.
In America today, every group feels this way to some extent. Whites and blacks, Latinos and Asians, men and women, Christians, Jews, and Muslims, straight people and gay people, liberals and conservatives – all feel their groups are being attacked, bullied, persecuted, discriminated against.
I feel as if there is a group of people someone will find a way to criticize it. It's hard to have a group where there isn't also another group that is the complete opposite of them thus creating the "bullying" and "discrimination".
Our politics evolve from a healthy love for ourselves, our sisters and our community which allows us to continue our struggle and work.
I found this interesting because I feel the bases of major political parties is to form a group to improve problems they all want to solve/ reflect a majority of what the party wants. An example of this might be the republican party wanting to lower taxes.
