The web describes beautiful as "delighting the senses or exciting intellectual or emotional admiration" (Definitions of Beautiful).

Abstract
This paper discusses the City Beautiful and New Urbanism movements within a global context, focusing on Australia and Washington D.C. in the United States. The movements are contextualized within their respective historical moments and the urban planning desires for each. The paper then relates them to each other in terms of the interpretation that while each had good ideas, their practical implementation have not necessarily gone as planned.

From the Paper
"The City Beautiful movement began around the turn of the twentieth century in several global locations including Europe, the United States, and Australia. The basic principles of the movement called for city planning methods that would combine both beauty and utility in public spaces, to make some of the major cities in each of these locations more functional and more appealing to its citizens. New Urbanism is a contemporary notion of city planning that focuses not only on functionality and beauty, but on community sustainability and environmental preservation as well."

Abstract
In this article, the writer considers the way in which schizophrenia is portrayed in the film' A Beautiful Mind'.

From the Paper
"Books and films are at once persuasive and deceptive. This is possible in that if something is written down or is shown in living color on the screen it is easy to interpret those sources of information as true or accurate. This is even more likely when the subject of the work is a real person or historical event. In the movie 'A Beautiful Mind' based on a book by the same name schizophrenia is shown through the life and ..."

Abstract
This assignment is for a first year modes of reason course that is based on the question of whether art must be beautiful. The hypothesis that is made in the essay is that art does not have to be beautiful. The final argument is based on the idea that art is a creative process, while beauty, on the other hand, is a subjective judgment.

From the Paper
"Art and beauty are often associated with each other. This leads to the question of whether this relationship is obligatory? Or is it just a casual association? This essay will argue that art and beauty are not synonymous. There are three basic arguments that will be used to prove this hypothesis. The first is that the term art is highly subjective and almost impossible to define. The second is that beauty is also a highly subjective term. The final argument that will be made is that it is possible to have art that is not beautiful."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. Specifically it considers Poe's assertion that the ultimate subject for a work of art is the death of a beautiful woman. Poe's assertion that death begets art is seen in light of many of the world's greatest works of fiction and poetry. The author concludes that the death of a beautiful woman as a powerful good literary device was used effectively in "The Raven."

From the Paper
"While the poem is heart wrenching, there is also something dark and sinister lingering below the surface. The black bird seems evil and devilish somehow, and the narrator concurs when he shrieks, "'Prophet!' said I, 'thing of evil!--prophet still, if bird or devil!'" (Poe). Why does a "thing of evil" bring memories to the narrator? What is the background of the pair of lovers? It is easy to see the narrator is lonely, but why is he so tormented? There is something missing in the equation here, and whatever it is seems sinister and foreboding. Poe uses this dark underbelly of life in many of his works, leaving the reader with a sense of fear and horror that linger. Lenore is a device to add depth and emotion to the poem, but as she dwells with "the angels" the reader must wonder just what happened to her, and what the narrator had to do with it. There is more than simply longing and grief in the poem, there is something darker that dwells in the very souls of so many of us. Poe saw the world darkly, and that is evident in this poem and many of his other works. Lenore is a sexual and sensual device, but she is certainly not the only device. The dark, haunting quality of the poem is another device that helps create outstanding and dramatic art."

Abstract
The paper discusses the subject of schizophrenia and utilizes the film "A Beautiful Mind," a movie based on the life of John Nash, to introduce the subject. In the movie Nash was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. The paper shows how the movie portrays the misperception that genius predisposes people to mental illness. The movie portrays the insulin shock therapy and anti psychotic medications he was given,and his determination never to use them again. The paper shows that schizophrenia symptoms can differ greatly between patients, but they usually exhibit some combination of delusions, hallucinations, thought disorder , movement disorder and inappropriate emotional expression that adversely affects their daily life. Nash, as portrayed in "A Beautiful Mind," exhibited all of those symptoms. The paper highlights the prenatal risks that are connected to schizophrenia and also the many reasons why this topic is important in the practice of medicine and/or mental health.

From the Paper
"There are many reasons why this topic is important in the practice of medicine and/or mental health. One reason is that it is a global problem with virtually all societies identify acute or chronic breakdowns in functioning, although the labeling is not universal. "There are significant gender variations in the findings surrounding schizophrenia. These include neuroanatomical differences, as well as differential developmental and behavioral patterns" (Galliano, 2003, p. 282). As we take individuals, regardless of gender, into account, an awareness of risk factors and then how they typically play out will be beneficial as we try to understand and help."

From the Paper
"In John Fiske's essay ("The Codes of Television") he is talking about the CBS documentary with General Westmorland (Vietnam era general running the war for the U.S.) in which extreme close-ups are used for emphasis. Writing in the New York Times (and quoted by Fiske) Alex Jones explains "the extreme close-up can be especially damaging when an interview is carefully scripted and the cameraman is instructed to focus tightly on the person's face at the point when the toughest question is to be asked."
"The same genre of camera close up is used in soap narrative, albeit there is noting damaging about the result. In fact, it plays into the hands of the director and writers to have the camera zoom in tightly on Brooke's face as she is making her stand against Taylor. Immediately after Brooke makes her strongest protestation, the camera goes very tight on Taylor, whose head is nodding slightly but not in agreement; she nods because she understands where Brooke is coming from, and what she (Taylor) can expect to be confronted with for at least this episode, and likely one or more - or dozens - in the foreseeable future."

Abstract
This paper discusses the movie A Beautiful Mind while it compares the movie with the true-life happenings of a Nobel Prize winner John Forbes Nash, who had suffered from schizophrenia. Both the story and the movie played a successful part in portraying the disease as having no association with brain diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
This paper argues that the comedic element found in "Life is Beautiful" is appropriate to the subject of the Holocaust. The opposing viewpoints of Gerald Peary, a critic for the Boston Phoenix, and the late literary scholar Terence De Pres are also presented.

From the Paper
"Shortly after WWII, jokes associated with the Holocaust were found circulating in Israel. For example, "Do you know why Hitler killed himself? He got his gas bill" (Mamet, 142-3). Jokes like this one are often considered inappropriate because they mock a very tragic event and furthermore offend many Jewish people. Such people find jokes about the Holocaust disturbing to hear and yet others find them humorous. Therefore, this form of questionable humor poses the question, do comedy and the Holocaust mix? When dealing with an issue as serious as the Holocaust, it is debatable whether or not an element of humor is appropriate."
