Each one considers himself the custodian of glorious traditions.

Why I love that we live in Russia? And here I like, with all the issues with all the problems, I like our society? I like it with its traditional. What is traditional society? Traditional society - a society which is not as often and not as rapidly changing values, changing the mentality.

The credibility of oil painting makes the viewer believe that he is very close to depicted on the foreground of the image objects (can literally touch them). If it shows the person such proximity implies a certain degree of intimacy.
However, the official portrait is intended, on the contrary, to stress the distance. That is why (and not because of lack of skill from the artist) person on the average portrait, painted in the traditional way, looked so constrained and motionless. This artificiality is rooted in the requirements of the image: the object needs to be seen both near and afar. You can draw an analogy with samples examined under a microscope. Here they are in front of us, we can study them, but you can't imagine the same way they treated us.

The idea of the craftsmanship behind exaggerated quality to remain unchanged throughout the history of oil painting.
In earlier traditions of art glorified the wealth. But then, wealth was a symbol of the established social and divine order.
Oil painting celebrates the richness of the new sense - dynamic, finding justification only in the highest power of money, i.e. purchasing power. Consequently, painting had to find a way to demonstrate how coveted everything that you can buy for the money. And the visual desirability of what can be bought lies in its tangibility, in how it will respond to a touch on the hand of a master.

In the European tradition, the artists and the audience-owners were usually men, and those who were treated as objects, usually women. This unequal relationship is so deeply rooted in our culture that still structures the consciousness of many women. They treat themselves as treated men. They, like men, see their own femininity.

According to tradition and custom, already discussed but not yet resolved, the nature of the presence of women in society and the different nature of the presence of men. The man's presence rests on the promise of power which he embodies. If this promise is impressive and persuasive, and his presence noticeable. If it's modest or inconclusive, and place the man is appropriate. The promised power may be moral, physical, emotional, economic, social, sexy, but in any case the object napoloen to man. Men's presence suggests what he can do to you or for you. This presence could be a hoax in the sense that a man can only pretend that he is capable of something that in reality he is not capable. But in any case this claim to a power that can be applied to someone else.
On the contrary, the nature of the woman's presence expresses her own attitude to herself and defines what it can or cannot be done. Her presence is expressed in her gestures, voice, opinions, statements, clothing, elected by the environment the taste; in fact, literally everything she does, affects the nature of her presence. To be so peculiar to women, that men tend to perceive her presence as a kind of, you might say, a physical emanation, a kind of heat or smell or aura.

I am responsible for what I say and do. If I'm trying to avoid responsibility, this leads to powerlessness and anger. I can use rules, laws, traditions, other people's opinions and anything that can help me make the decision, but only I myself can make a choice. When I'm too scared to be identified with their decisions, I slip away from them, and in this case I lose all sense of their identity and access their inner sense.

Honor, justice, tradition - all these shackles of the mind. But 15 years in the darkness - and I saw the light. I saw a world without masters and slaves, in which each demosiac - king. And those who kept us in chains - overthrown and deprived of power. Brothers and sisters, to arms! Answer blow for blow! Crush the tyrants and take back what is rightfully ours! Burn their Kingdom to ashes!

To fit in line with the common economy of Asia, Australians do not need to become Asians, neither in culture nor in values or traditions. But Australians need to understand Asians, to feel with them freely so that Asians feel freely with Australians and cooperation was comfortable and was carried out on an equal footing. It will not be possible as long as the Australians will not accept Asians as they are, getting rid of hostility to those who profess other values or respects other traditions.
