In the creative arts and scientific literature, an acknowledgment (also spelled acknowledgement) is an expression of gratitude for assistance in creating a literary or artistic work.

Receiving credit by way of acknowledgment rather than authorship indicates that the person or organization did not have a direct hand in producing the work in question, but may have contributed funding, criticism, or encouragement to the author(s). Various schemes exist for classifying acknowledgments; Giles & Councill (2004) give the following six categories:

  1. moral support
  2. financial support
  3. editorial support
  4. presentational support
  5. instrumental/technical support
  6. conceptual support, or peer interactive communication (PIC)

Apart from citation, which is not usually considered to be an acknowledgment, acknowledgment of conceptual support is widely considered to be the most important for identifying intellectual debt. Some acknowledgments of financial support, on the other hand, may simply be legal formalities imposed by the granting institution.

A. In general, I'd conclude that humanity is the species that self-expresses, and art is one of our forms of self-expression. I concur with John Dewey in the ultimate value of art. The artist uses the medium to try to recreate or suggest rhythms of safety and danger (harmony-dissonance/symme try-imbalance/climax-deno uement) that reflect the more memorable, valued, cherished moments of her/his own life. The audience responds to those rhythms as they might relate to similar memorable/cherished/value d moments in their lives. Since love is one of our particularly cherished moments, that's the correlation.

A. I go to Kent Uni and have a couple of friends studying architecture and they seem to absolutely love their course. I don't really ask them much about it tbh...but they're happy. & it's a fab uni! There is only one club on campus, but there are 5 other bars...and each have their own special night that they go a bit bar style/clubby for. As for town, there are two most popular bars 'The Works' and 'Chill' and there's a bar called 'Penny Theatre' that everyone LOVES (I've not been yet) because it's so cheap. So obv, I'm gonna say come to kent :D. however, if you're from the north...don't come for the nightlife lol. Prices are such a contrast. I'm from the north, was expecting 1 drinks... Clearly, they're student prices are the… [cont.]
