(Brothers, Cammy 2008:3) A favourite that shows his unique ability towards architecture is the Laurentian Library and its amazing entrance that reveals the complex interior that was moulded just like his sculptures. The staircase in the entrance room of the library revealed the freedom of architecture, and what Michelangelo showed was the origin of challenging the limits of what architecture can do.

I worked in the Gardener Main Stacks located in the Doe Library of UC Berkeley for nearly three years and in that time I eventually was one of a group of student supervisors, so I have some experience being managed and as manager (though in a somewhat limited scope).

majority of people. Though it may be true that some of the work recently produced has been offensive to a large number of people, it is not a reason to remove a very useful government program. The NEA provides jobs, funds programs for museum s and libraries, helps to educate the public, and helps generate economic activity.

everyday life without technology. People could function happily in that type of atmosphere, but technology has changed our lives forever. Technology has also changed our pace and perspective on education.

The Modernity has its own solutions up to the negation of the very possibility of having a happy life. And recently, mister Francis H. came up with his own idea of happiness. He argues that the problem of happiness
