Standing Literature Reviews Samples For Students

In developmental psychology, there has always been a question, “how do new skills come to infants and where do they come from?” Some believe that new skills develop from prior accomplishments; others feel as one skill disappears, the new one quickly appears; some others believe that the skills are based on physical similarity - where old and new skills are similar in form. However, most widely believed theory is the shared psychological function where the old and the new skills rely on the same underlying psychological mechanisms with an objective to achieve the same goals.

All of us go through life with our own individual journeys. The path that we take is often dependent on every single decision that we make through our journey. Often, we look back through our life what might have been if we have followed a different path. But we often realize that there are no “undo” buttons in real life. There is simply no going back. Once we have made a certain decision, we cannot do anything but stick with that decision and make the most of the decision we have made.

Our journey through life has often been depicted in ...

Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a physical disability that results from damage to the brain during development that negatively impacts the functional development of children14.

Introduction

Tensile testing is usually conducted to select a material for its application, quality control, and to forecast how the material is likely to react on deployment of different types of forces. The properties evaluated through the tensile test include the ultimate tensile strength, the maximum elongation, X-area reduction and so forth. These evaluations facilitate determination of such properties as Young’s Modulus, yield strength, Poisson’s ratio, and the characteristics of strain hardening [1. 2]. Tensile testing on glass fibre is, thus, performed to determine the quality of the material it contains, and to ascertain its suitability for various applications.

Classic English Literature

Hospitality has played a great role in the ancient Greek society, and this is highly evident in most of the classics written during those times. Homer’s Odyssey is a classic example of this fact.

(Notes, 1968) According to Fagles and Knox hospitality is understood to be a major part of the moral code. One of the most important factors that can be heavily noticed in this work of Homer is hospitality, with ...

In Toni Morrison’s short story “Recitatif”, the experiences of American American women are explored through the comparison of a white female and an African American woman. It is never fully explained which woman is of which race, but because of the cultural differences the reader is led to believe that the white woman is of higher social standing than that of the African American woman.
Although the story takes place in a more modern setting with laws are in place to protect the rights of minorities, the story suggests that even in today’s world racism still exists. This ...

This review intends to discuss the literature on Disclaimers in the context of HR Communications. Disclaimers are statements which appear in a document, action or in a communication in order to specify in advance the limits of legal possibilities, ownership, effects or reactions of these documents and actions and communications. Often the disclaimers are used as a tool to avoid predicted damages caused by possible legal actions. However, the legal validity of disclaimers in general is loose and is often dependent on the interpretation by the jurisdiction varying from case to case.

Seamus Heaney’s “Mid-Term Break”

Seamus Heaney’s poem, “Mid-Term Break,” dramatizes the conflict of denial and acceptance, as the speaker, a boy, returns from school for the funeral of his younger brother. The reader witnesses the literal events as the boy waits at school, returns home to the mourning family, and sees the body of his little brother in the coffin. While the events in the poem seem ordinary and there is little question of what happened, Heaney had good reason to tell this story as a poem and not in prose.
A clue to this reason for poetry versus prose comes from literary ...

The Future of Cloud Computing

Introduction
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing applies to the development of parallel computing, distributed computing, and grid computing (Rad, et al., 2009). Cloud computing refers both to a platform and a type of application (Buyya, Yeo, Venugoplas, Broberg, & Brandic 2009). Cloud computing platforms provide the services necessary for developers to create new SaaS applications; it is a dynamic process that provisions, configures, reconfigures, and deprovisions servers. Cloud platforms provide a pool of resources to host different applications where computing power is delivered on demand (Van, Tran, & Menaud, 2009). Cloud applications use large databases and powerful servers that host Internet-based applications and services. ...

Notably Rovai (2002) argues that student sense of community refers to the feeling of belonging among people who are brought together by common goals and interests. The research undertaken by the various authors as expostulated in this paper takes a bias in assessing the role played by sense of community in the student fraternity and its overall effect on education and academic achievement. Drovin & Vartanian (2010) challenge the traditional view that direct face to face educational interaction is limited in terms of building a community of relations. Direct face to face educational set up is seen to be more profound in ...

Boy at the Window by Richard Wilbur is an emotive poem which plays on childish emotions that we all feel memories of from our own childhood. In doing this, Wilbur is able to engage his reader by invoking past emotions and memories. This is compounded by the poet’s ability to write in a conversational manner which flows and allows the reader the chance to comprehend the words, whilst accessing their own interpretations of them. The poem’s layout is deliberately conventional because the poet intends to play on the readers’ memory and emotion, rather than creating mental images per ...
