Andy
Warhol and Frida Kahlo Essay
Our world is full of talented people. They live everywhere. Some of them are known only in their towns or countries, some are well-known all over the world. Frida Kahlo and Andy Warhol are recognized in every spot of the planet. And both of them were born and lived in the twentieth century.
The humanity knows many examples of the talented people, who expressed their talents since birth. Mozart, for instance, started playing piano, when he was about three years old. Van Gogh started painting and drawing at school. It seems that they did not need any accelerator for their talent to develop. But Frida Kahlo and Andy Warhol belong to the minority.

Monopoly
of Saudi ARAMCO
Monopoly is the opposite extreme from perfect competition and occurs when one company produces an industry’s entire output. In contrast to perfectly competitive companies in free market environment, a monopolist sets prices, not takes them. There are several types of monopolies, for example, natural monopolies are created when the minimum efficient scale of production is large relatively to the market demand. A second way a monopoly can arise is when several companies agree to behave as if they were a single seller; such group is usually called a cartel or producers’ association. One of the examples of agreement among producers is the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which is formed not by all market players, but by firms comprising a significant part of the market, which turns the market into oligopoly. There is yet another way to create a monopoly, coercive monopoly, which is usually created with government intrusion and will be discussed later in more detail.

Structural
Changes in Society
A society is a group of people that live together in a community, often having such common characters as nationality, language, race, religion, norms, and traditions. The society helps individuals achieve goals that they would have never achieved on their own. Every society has social institutions, which help socialize groups in this society. Social structures, social institutions and social regulations and practices, which are known to be “right” in a society, in their turn, form a social order (Hechter, p. 23). Naturally, social order has been changing over the years, mainly due to the technological, industrial, and scientific advances (Zeitlin, Megawangi). Lower I would like to present how structural changes in the society have influenced the life of my family.

Psychoanalytic
Perspective Essay
Exploring the Unconscious.
The Psychoanalytic Perspective.
Most of what Freud wrote is false by contemporary standards and almost any diligent critic can find mistakes and his assumptions. Nevertheless, Freud is not merely one of the many scientists from the 1800s who had been proven wrong many times, but he is an essential starting point for everyone who studies psychoanalysis, psychology, psychiatry, and sociology. When studied systematically, Freud still has much to contribute to modern understanding of human beings and development of human personality.
