How does Shakespeare use literary devices"My mistress' eyes" and what purpose do they serve?

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

Summary: Sonnet 130
This sonnet compares the speaker’s lover to a number of other beauties—and never in the lover’s favor. Her eyes are “nothing like the sun,” her lips are less red than coral; compared to white snow, her breasts are dun-colored, and her hairs are like black wires on her head. In the second quatrain, the speaker says he has seen roses separated by color (“damasked”) into red and white, but he sees no such roses in his mistress’s cheeks; and he says the breath that “reeks” from his mistress is less delightful than perfume. In the third quatrain, he admits that, though he loves her voice, music “hath a far more pleasing sound,” and that, though he has never seen a goddess, his mistress—unlike goddesses—walks on the ground. In the couplet, however, the speaker declares that, “by heav’n,” he thinks his love as rare and valuable “As any she belied with false compare”—that is, any love in which false comparisons were invoked to describe the loved one’s beauty.

Explain ONE way in which capitalism influenced the consumer revolution in the period 1750-1900.
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Capitalism is an economic system through which the large-scale production of goods and services is advocated, their commercialization in the market privately, and the accumulation of capital to use it to promote more economic production and more consumption.

Thus, through this system, a mass production was generated and therefore consumption, generating that it became purely subsistence to cover not only the basic needs of individuals, but also promoting the consumption of goods of luxury, leisure and, in general, all those that exceeded food or health issues.

Compare and contrast the colonialist view of “genetic superiority” vs. Diamond’s view of New Guineans in terms of abilities? 

Eddi Din [679]
<span>Diamond is an evolutionary biologist, interested in adaptations, and he proceeds to speculate that New Guineans exhibit these heightened-mental-activity traits in response to their environment, which presents them with constant and varied challenges. He gets away with it because (1) this statement is buried inside his main thesis, which is in accord with the fundamental dogma (Western superiority is just an accident of geography), and (2) his superior racial  group is non-white, and it's okay to call whites inferior</span>
