Art and Culture Law

Another major issue concerns the competence of the court to judge the 'aesthetics' of artworks. 'Is the law competent to resolve the question through legal criteria and evidence established by artists and curators in the courtroom?' Overall, Judge Waite concluded that the sculpture was 'beautiful', 'symmetrical' and 'ornamental', and therefore should be considered art.[1] This conclusion would not, however, favour many others artists whose 'ready-made' sculptures are in no way 'beautiful'.[2]

Nike Sweatshops

The exploitation of their factory workers included child labour with horrific working conditions: toxic emissions that affected both human and environmental health, verbal and physical abuse, and long hours - up to 14 hour shifts. Workers were left voiceless - if they complained they would face further abuse and violence. These workers were predominantly women who worked for controlling, demanding men - a clear gender divide.[3]

As these areas' economies developed, workers became more productive, wages rose, and many moved on to higher paying jobs. This led to fewer workers meaning Nike had to open additional sweatshops in lower income economic countries.[4]

The Iceberg of Success

The Iceberg of success is a specific structured model used to explain the unseen workings of an achievement.[5]

It compares what people see on the surface, to the inner complicated workings underneath the surface. Success requires hard work and dedication, most of which, people do not see and rather only see the final accomplished product.[5][6]

There can be great costs to success: failure, rejection, sacrifice, disappointment, hard work, dedication etc. However, once achieved, the benefits outweigh the hardships. Whilst it may be easy to assume people are lucky and achieve something by chance, often it is the hidden layers underneath the surface of the iceberg that cause this success. Whilst luck may be a factor, it is certainly not the defining characteristic of someone's ability to thrive.[7]
