Cosmetology: A Comprehensive Overview

Cosmetology is the art and science of enhancing the appearance of the skin, hair, and nails. It encompasses various treatments and techniques aimed at improving one's overall physical appearance. This essay provides a comprehensive overview of cosmetology, exploring its history, evolution, different branches, and significance in society.

The History of Cosmetology

Cosmetology has its roots in ancient civilizations, where people used natural ingredients like herbs, minerals, and oils to adorn themselves. In ancient Egypt, for example, women applied kohl to their eyes and wore elaborate wigs made from human hair or wool. In ancient Greece, men and women used....

Oral Tradition: The Ancient Roots of Storytelling

Literature has its primordial origins in the spoken word, as stories were passed down through generations of oral tradition. This rich tapestry of storytelling served as a means of cultural preservation, historical documentation, and moral instruction.

In ancient civilizations, storytellers known as bards, rhapsodes, or griots played a pivotal role in transmitting cultural narratives. They memorized and recited epics, myths, and legends, weaving them into elaborate performances that captivated their audiences.

The oral tradition allowed for stories to evolve and adapt with each telling, as performers embellished them with personal experiences, local customs, and the prevailing....

Egypt
The revolution in Egypt of January and February 2011 led to the resignation of the nation's president, Hosni Mubarak. The revolution put the population in a state of potential chaos and some political commentators felt that it would be difficult for Egypt to become a functioning society in the near future. This was not the first time that the Middle Eastern region saw a political revolution within one of its nations, nor would it be the last. The recent public execution of Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi illustrates the fiery nature of the region and the continued likelihood of political unrest. Commentators made connections between the current situation and similar occurrences in the past without noting how these similarities could telegraph the potential successes of the revolution. The region, known for violence and quick temper, is unsurprisingly a location of frequent insurgency and revolution. History has a way of repeating itself….

g., education, employment, politics). Thus, the gender gap during this period was undeniably reduced, though not eliminated" (El-Safty, 2004) in this sense, the woman came to have a particular role in the society, especially in its development. Nonetheless, they were unable to express themselves to their full capacity precisely due to the religious aspect which is often invoked to limit the activities of women in the social environment as well as the political framework.
There are several examples throughout societies which underline the fact that women have militated for an improvement in their lives and in their social status. The issue of women in Egypt is therefore not singular. In this sense, "In countries such as Mongolia, India, Egypt, Uruguay and Sierra Leone, Now or Never grantees are documenting the testimony of women who have been assaulted in conflict zones, challenging fundamentalism" () Therefore, it can be said that in societies….

Most of gypt's trade and economic activities take place at the river Nile, along its basin.

However by the end of the twentieth century, gypt had not achieved its goals completely and still remained heavily….

Egypt
DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS

Egypt, located in Africa, is positioned on the Mediterranean Sea between the Gaza Strip and Libya.

It has a population of a little over 71 million people.

They have a birth rate of 27 per 1,000 people, 2% increase per year.

At this rate their population should more than double by the year 2050 to over 115 million people.

Egypt has about 157 people per square mile, with 40% of the population urban.

Egypt is a young country, with 34% of the population aged 14 or younger (CIA, 2002).

Egypt's population is growing more rapidly than any other country in the Arab world (CIA, 2002).

This is a potentially serious problem for Egypt in the future, because the country has limited farmable land, only 3%, to support its present population (CIA, 2002).

Egypt uses water from the Nile to irrigate some land.

Most people live in the Nile Valley or the delta.

The rest of the country, about 96%,….

The lower classes within the Sumerian community were assigned only for performing acts that would serve for the well-being of the society. There is no information concerning the exact place from where the Sumerians came from, but most suppositions revolve around their origins as being one of the islands in the Persian Gulf. (atkins)
The Sumerian civilization somewhat resembles the Egyptian one because of the fact that both of them have been formed around fertile regions in the close vicinity of rivers. The fertile terrains inhabited by the two civilizations have provided most of the reasons for the evolution of their societies.

Religion had been a decisive factor for both communities, as both the Sumerians and the Egyptians praised their gods, apparently in order for the heavenly entities to insure the safety of the people. The Sumerians, similar to the Egyptians, have been among the first people in the world to….

Egypt as We Know Egyptian
PAGES 3 WORDS 1345

We have numerous proofs that Egyptians already used contracts, testaments and other important institutes of developed society. Also any citizen was allowed to bring lawsuits against guilty person and try to prove that his right or interest was threatened by that person. This was a very important institute of a democratic society because open court was the only legal state organ of justice.
The New Kingdom is also characterized by many Egyptologists as a period of great changes in public knowledge. Many people became literate (mainly upper class representatives) and sure that education of this period was more universal and progressive. ich nobles and officials felt free sending their children to school; at the same time poor people didn't have such opportunity and it is not strange (if we remember Middle Ages we'll see that the situation was similar).

So, as we can see, Egyptian society was very progressive and other….

S. military presence in the area. It is frustrating that even so long after the end of the Cold War, there still persists a level of distrust and antagonism on the part of the Russians toward the U.S. In many respects, post-Soviet Communist Russia still provides tacit support for other nations to oppose or undermine U.S. international interests. nother example would be the difficulty the Russians have caused by opposing U.S.-led sanctions against Iran in connection with international pressure to stop enriching uranium and even more recently in connection with the joint Chinese-Russian opposition to forcing a regime change in Syria.

The ise and Fall of Egypt's Old Kingdom

When most people think of Ancient Egypt, the first image that comes to mind is the Great Pyramids. These enormous structures are symbolic of the mystery and beauty of Ancient Egyptian culture, and they are a reminder of the rise and fall of even the most powerful societies. The culture that created the pyramids, the Old Kingdom of Egypt, was able to reach the height of civilization before internal flaws and environmental disaster led to its eventual collapse. But the same interdependence that allowed Egypt to organize a unified culture was also the very thing that became its vulnerability.

The Old Kingdom refers to the reigns of the 3rd dynasty through the 6th dynasty, roughly from 2575-2150 BC (Daniels et al. 2006). While certain hallmarks of advanced civilization were present in the 1st and 2nd dynasty,….


Egypt hopes to gain economic and political momentum for itself and the region through ongoing partnership with the EU and Mediterranean cooperation within the Barcelona Process. The Association Agreement between the EU and Egypt is expected to enter into force soon. It has already been ratified by the majority of the EU member states (also including Germany) and the section on trade relations has already come into provisional effect, and of course, this is a significant accomplishment, given the diversity of political opinion among EU member states.

Relations with neighbouring Arab countries

Since Egypt's return to the Arab League in 1990, Cairo has once again become the seat - both physically and politically -- of the Pan-Arab organization. Amr Moussa, who served as Egypt's Foreign Minister for many years, became the Arab League's new Secretary-General in March 2001. Since emerging from its isolation in the Arab bloc following its peace accord with….

Government Barriers The legal and regulatory environment for doing business in Egypt is challenging. The current deals with the international community to secure financing call for reforms to the structure of the Egyptian economy, which remains heavily dependent on government intervention. The state of economic reform is a work in progress, begun in earnest several regimes ago in the mid-2000s. During that period, one of the key reforms reduced the time it took to start a company from 55 days to 3 days, a positive step towards creating a more entrepreneurial country. Other Nazif-era reforms were to begin the process of establishing the role that government should play in each sector, as a precursor to specifying which reforms are truly necessary (OECD, 2008).
More recent reforms have begun in 2015. One of the major reforms was to float the Egyptian pound, which has resulted in significant inflation. This inflation is slowing, but….

Beginning in December of 2010 in Tunisia, protests and grassroots political activism spread throughout North Africa and the Middle East. The Arab Spring resulted in regime change in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya and Syria. However, the Arab Spring evolved and impacted each nation differently. In Egypt, the Arab Spring began officially on January 25, 2011. Known as the January 25 Revolution, the Arab Spring in Egypt initially resulted in the ousting of Hosni Mubarak. Mubarak had been in power for almost 30 years when he resigned in 2011 and was widely considered to be a “dictator,” (Fantz, 2016: p. 1). As promising as it seemed to transition away from Mubarak’s autocratic regime, the Arab Spring destabilized the nation and resulted in few meaningful changes to Egyptian society, politics, or the media. Uprisings in Cairo’s Tahrir Square and in other major cities like Alexandria had first been met with harsh crackdowns….

Recent Great Discovery in Archaeology: The Lost Golden City of Luxor in EgyptFor decades, experts had examined the pottery of the Moche, an early civilization of farmers and fishermen who flourished between 1,900 and 1,200 years ago along Perus north coast (Benson, 1-22). Throughout the years, archeologists have actively undertaken exploration projects to discover some of the renowned ancient civilizations and various aspects of man, including the remains of early man.The primary goal of these explorations is to know more about our ancient ancestors, including body form, diet, and lifestyle, by studying bone remains equipment and tools, built structures, and artifacts. Egypt is one of the hotspots of archeological explorations. As recent as April 2021, the discovery of the Lost Golden City was announced as one of the recent significant archeological discoveries (Blakemore; Hawass, 83110). Therefore, this paper is a discussion of the Lost Golden City and will cover a….

Egyptian Infitah Policy (1973, Sadat)IntroductionAnwar Sadats Infitah policy was a reversal of Nassers policies. Nasser had presided over a command economy in which market economics were centralized and controlled by the government, with little to no private sector. Egypt had been influenced by the Soviet Union under Nasser, and its economic policies reflected the characteristics of the Communist state with its immense public sector and entrenched bureaucracy (Osman, 2010). Sadat wanted to shift away from the Soviet Union and develop a better relationship with the US. Sadat thus moved away from war with Israel to adopt a spirit of openness with its Middle East neighbor. In this manner, Sadat sought to open the private sector in Egypt, establish ties with the West, and cultivate a more diplomatic demeanor in the Middle East. However, Infitah did not go very far in the way of establishing a free market with an open….


Egypt is one of the most powerful African nations and has proved to be a reliable partner of the West, which invested massively in the development of the country. The fact that Egypt is a democracy through its constitution has contributed greatly to gaining the support of the West. The path chosen by Egypt can be an example to other African nations and democracy can be spread with the support of Egypt. Democracy and free elections in Egypt can have a great impact on neighboring countries, as they might be persuaded by this example. esides, a high level of democratization will increase the support offered to Egypt by more developed nations and it will grant even more power to the country in the international scene.
