'The worry there is that Russia is a state that's declining in many ways, and declining states are often more dangerous than states that are on the upswing,' Davies says. 'We've seen a lot of Russian aggressiveness and assertiveness in the Ukraine, and there's a worry that that could spread to the Baltic States.
Genre. Genre is the term for any category of literature or other forms of art or entertainment, e.g. music, whether written or spoken, audial or visual, based on some set of stylistic criteria. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued.
A genre is a specific type of music, film, or writing. Your favorite literary genre might be science fiction, and your favorite film genre might be horror flicks about cheerleaders. Go figure. In music, genre refers to musical style such as jazz, salsa or rock. In film or literature, the genre is determined by the subject, setting or plot of the story. When you are wandering around a book store, books are usually arranged by genre.
