...begs for comparisons between buildings within neighborhoods, neighborhoods within cities, cities within regions, and regions within the continent. Adjaye’s arrangement, which is surprisingly lively and skillfully avoids desiccating the subject, makes these comparisons both accessible and rewarding. His depictions sometimes seem arbitrary, though such a flaw is unavoidable in cities as large as these. Rather than detract from the experience, the arbitrary nature of the photos contributes to the exhibition’s magnetic quality. Adjaye photographs what interests him and what catches his eye in his limited time in each city, something wholly interesting in itself...
...Yushukan's only flaw were its distortion of 20th century history, it might not have become such a lightning rod for criticism. After all, the shrine is not government-controlled, and the museum's version doesn't represent Tokyo's official view of the war - let alone what most Japanese believe. What is truly disturbing about the museum is the implicit approval of the imperialist ideology that led to the deaths of millions throughout Asia - and a blatant celebration of the most extreme expression of that ideology, the kamikaze...
...there is a major flaw in that marketing strategy. On the face of it, KSM, as he is known inside the government, comes across as boasting, at times mentally unstable.

One of the greatest improvements in “Neon Bible” is its defined, consistent tone. However, it’s also its greatest flaw. The album as a whole distinctly lacks a balance between lighter fare and the full, rich, (and often exhausting) ecclesiastical sounds of the organ-driven tracks. Even the upbeat songs are heavy—see “Black Waves/Bad Vibrations.” This heaviness prevents the album from achieving...
Questions of female objectification and empowerment also arise when pornography and sexual liberation comes into play. Grizzle cites the use of erotic material as a major flaw of FemSex. Many conservatives place the moral responsibility for sexual behavior on women. McCaffrey says, “I would say women are better at [controlling sexual urges], so I think they have more responsibility, but it’s something that men can be a part of. In the past, pretty much all women were very sexually reserved; you could always find prostitutes, but virtuous people were just not sexually promiscuous...
