Throughout my life, it has become clear to me that many people decide once they completed their formal education, they believe that they are done learning. They receive their certificate, or degree, and they no longer have the desire to learn. From a young age, this appeared very sad to me, and I always wondered how I could avoid being this way. It is my wish to continue learning throughout my life, but in order to do this, there are many things that I need to understand. For instance, I need to be informed that I must be my own ...

With the rise of technology adoption worldwide, internet connection is also on the rise due to the need to stay connected. Most people own unique gadgets like computers and cell phones that can use internet. It is, therefore, a routine activity for people to stay connected through internet. People spent most of their time in the internet either through checking their mails or browsing. Some have social networks account where they can communicate with other people globally (Macho, pg 45). I am arguing against online social networking for children because most children have a tendency to spend most of their time ...

Fear is an emotional response to various situations that people experience in their lives. Just like any other emotion felt by a person, fear and apprehension are normal and natural to occur. However, to experience fear upon coming across a new venture or trying something for the first time is pretty natural to people nowadays. It might be common to anyone who is going to try something new in life, to have a certain apprehension about it. A feeling of reluctance and hesitation kicks in which makes a great room for fear.

“In giving her existence, a great law had been broken; and the result was a being whose elements were perhaps beautiful and brilliant, but all in disorder, or with an order peculiar to themselves, amidst which the point of variety and arrangement was difficult or impossible to be discovered” (Hawthorne, Chapter 6 p. 98).
The quote above generalizes Pearl’s character. She was the daughter of Hester Prynne, a woman living in the standards of the Puritan society condemned by the people as ‘brazen hussy’ who bears the scarlet letter ‘A’ fantastically embroidered upon her bosom (Hawthorne, Chapter 2 p. 57). ...

Education is the process through which organized knowledge is passed from one generation to the other. The passing of knowledge occurs through teaching, research or can happen through guidance from educational specialist. Education is a basic right recognized by the international convention on Economic, social and cultural rights. Most governments in the world have recognized the need for education.
Education is compulsory in most jurisdictions, unlike the schooling. Schooling in western countries is not compulsory. The need to go to a classroom and get instructions from a tutor has been replaced by e-learning. E-learning creates a virtual learning environment ...

The American Heritage Dictionary defines paparazzi as a freelance photographer who doggedly pursues celebrities to take candid pictures. Paparazzi make money by selling their photos and videos to reputed publications across the world. One single photo or a video clipping is simultaneously sold to several publications. The more famous the person is and the more embarrassing the photograph is to the celebrity, the bigger is the price. The most unique shots of famous personalities can even fetch millions of dollars. These includes situations where the celebrities are drunk, getting angry, tripping and falling or with undone hair. Given the money associated ...

Since civilization of man and as far as man’s existence can be traced, his intelligence has been found to surpass that of all the other living beings. Man has also been found to be the most curious of all the rest based on his brain capacity and intelligence quotient. For this reason therefore, he is the fastest to learn cognitively and intellectually compared to all the other living beings. The Enlightenment therefore, is the period when man started applying his knowledge, intelligence and reasoning to discover the world, what exists in it and also how he can make ...

Charles Baudelaire has played a significant role in modern art and culture. He came up with the word modernity and emphasized the importance on why art has to capture the experience of urban life. In 'The Painter of Modern life', an essay by Baudelaire, he highlighted important points such as originality by analyzing the ways and art of a man known as Monsieur C. G.
Baudelaire argues that art and culture should not borrow too from much on the past. He emphasized the importance of originality. He did so by looking at M. G.’s desire to remain anonymous, ...

Creation is defined as the act of bringing something into existence, and is normally attributed to procreation or an act of some divine being. Humans have for a long time marveled over the act of creation and its many varying concepts, not the least of which includes the prospect of creating another in their own image. Despite being fictional, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein showcases both the wonder and the downfall of creation. The fascination with creation leads only to revelation of the self.
As illustrated by author Robert Horton the story of Frankenstein is a perfect example of how ...

Introduction

The effectiveness of advertising can be difficult to measure because there are so many different ways that advertising can be considered effective. Whether or not the advertising is effective also depends on the needs of the advertisers. Traditional metrics include sales, brand awareness, and a positive attitude toward the brand (Brenner, 1972). There are a lot of elements that can increase or decrease advertising effectiveness, including the media used to present the advertising and the type of message. For example, some messages are humorous, gender biased, creative, and multicultural.
Modern advancements in technology have made digital media a huge part of ...

Introduction

In 1975, two planetary exploration missions named Vikings 1 and 2 were launched to study the surface and atmosphere of Mars. These two missions were launched with only a few weeks apart from each other; the first on August 20, 1975 while the second on September 9 of the same year. Both of the missions had two parts: a lander and an orbiter. The plan of the missions was that as the orbiter orbits around Mars taking pictures and other data, the lander studies the Martian surface from the ground. With the program’s total budget of a staggering 1 billion dollars, ...

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, there has been a significant increase in a process of migration. By the beginning of the 21st century there were estimated 36-42 million only migrant workers, with their families -80-97 million people, according to some estimates - even 120 million (Bader, 2005). What are the reasons causing migration, and what are the dangers and problems it carries? Migration of population is population movements associated with relocation. It is a complex social process that performs important functions in the life of society and the individual.
The historical role of migration processes are associated with settling ...

Philosophy of Space Exploration

Introduction
Philosophy stands as quite an universal way of solving problems related to values, existence, mind, knowledge, reality, reason, and language. In philosophy, there are various methods of dealing with such problems by looking at their magnitude, practical approach and their reliance on ways of thinking. Different philosophers have varying classifications of distinctive philosophical or intellectual points of view, rather than inflexible and universal sets of beliefs. Space exploration has become among the fields that philosophy has shaped, particularly through secular utility maximization, which basically posits that maximizing developments to the benefit of greatest amount of people is ...

Introduction

I remain fascinated with the idea of when the first recorded law of capital punishment exists in history and why some Western countries still impose this legal answer to the evil people do unto one another in the 21st century. This academic investigation provides an excellent opportunity for pursuing and answering my inquiry of the first recorded historical documentation of capital punishment as a legal finding for a person found guilty of a crime and exploring the arguments why, in particular the United States – a great Western democracy continues imposing this form of punishment in some of the 50 states.

Analysis of Poe’s Short Stories

Reading Edgar Allan Poe’s short story - “The Cask of Amontillado”, “The Tell- Tale Heart” and “The Oval Portrait” – is indeed very gripping and thrilling. With every sentence that one reads more interest and curiosity builds up to know what will happen next in the story. Each of these stories is about horror, death and killing, with a great element of suspense. The Gothic element therefore is very strong in all the three short stories.
Joanne Harris (Edgar Allan Poe, p.42) stated in The Telegraph that Poe is a master of horror and one of his strongholds is the detailed ...

Introduction

The Effects of Scientific Revolution on Religion has been a very critical topic in such fields as history, philosophy and other social sciences. The scientific revolution, arguably one of the most important developments in human history is a movement that substantially shook the foundations of religion (Wolfe & Wolfe, 2011). The primary purpose of this topic, is to narrow down the broad topic of the effects of scientific revolution in such a manner that such effects are viewed from the perspective of the medieval religious structures, and not from the eye of the entire humanity. I chose to discuss this topic because it ...

Proposal

Equality and fairness has always been advocated for by human rights activists and even implemented in the law. However, this remains to be theoretical as discrimination continually eats up society. Domestic animals are being used and misused for the benefit of individuals as people termed as servants face risks of death just to protect the esteem and status of the rich. Areas of concern are how domestic animals are bullied and even used to enrich the rich and how they are valued more than the very people that are put in charge of their safety. Silver blaze provides a typical ...

Introduction

Proper presentation of data collected during a study is imperative to the credibility of a research. In fact, lack thereof compromises the interpretation embraced by the people relying on such information due to the possibilities of miscommunication in the presentation process. As such, researchers ought to follow a compelling approach whilst communicating the results of their study regardless of the research design followed. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that there are multiple research approaches followed in the delivery of psychological research information. According to the Emergency Medicine Journal, the popular research designs include observational ...

Salvador Dali (1904-198) was a Spanish artist considered to be the icon of the Surrealist movement. Probably the most universally famous and highly regarded of the artists of the twentieth century, Salvador Dali was born in the town of Figueres, in Catalonia, Spain where his father held the position of notary public. Although well known as a painter of the Surrealist Movement, he was also a gifted photographer and film maker.
As a child, Dali was encouraged in his art by his family and in particular a friend of his father’s, a lawyer named Pepito Pichot, whose brother ...

An existential teaching philosophy aligns closely with my own teaching philosophy. While I do not wish to reject all manner of authority in my classroom, and do understand subject matter still needs to be taught, I do think more focus needs to be placed on the child and their specific growth. Too many children are forced into rigorous test schedules and overloaded with homework. Rather than understanding how to learning and retain, they master the art of memorizing, only to dump the information after the test. There is no time to find themselves, and existential teaching philosophies allot for ...

Myths are different from stories and legends, in that they express crucial ideas which characterize the belief system of the culture which created it, without drawing however from actual events , like legends do, and without being considered entirely fictional either, as fairytales are. The myth has been defined differently by various authors, depending on their intention and approaches. One researcher explains myth as “a traditional story that is thought of by a specific community to be of a fundamental importance and, moreover, is considered - perhaps in contrast to the common valuation categories - to be a “true‟ one” ( ...

Abstract

Sages and physicians have for ages recognized the importance of laughter and humor in a person’s life and health. In as much as they lacked the necessary evidence to back up their beliefs and theories, they somehow knew that laughter benefitted human beings through various ways. There is a general feeling of relief that a person feels after experiencing laughter. The mere fact that a person experiences emotional joy and a sense of relief hint at the possibility of humor having a greater benefit to the human body. The enrichment and benefits that arise from a moment of ...

Final Topic Paper – “I am Bartleby”

In light of the professor’s and group comments, I have made several changes to the paper. First, I removed all explicit mentions of schizophrenia in the work, as that would be ahistorical, and made arguments about Bartleby’s mental condition more even-handed. Most substantially, I have included more work throughout the text of the paper exploring Bartleby’s motivations for his actions throughout the story, focusing somewhat more on his frustration with the futility of capitalist society and its emphasis on hierarchical work structures. I have also completely changed the final paragraph to make it more of a comprehensive ...

When people are visiting the museum, they usually look only for the works of art that are considered to be masterpieces. They neglect to enjoy the works of less prominent artists. They are content afterwards, but that is not the point. In order to fully appreciate art, a person has to be able to find it in the most unusual places. There is general beauty and particular beauty (Baudelaire, 1964, p. 1).
Both the present and the past are interesting. The past has historical value and the present is happening right now. (Baudelaire, 1964, p. 1). However, inspiration can ...

The titular novel “The Great Gatsby”, is considered one of the greatest pieces of writing of the 20th century and hailed as a classic by readers everywhere. In this novel, one can find, not only an intriguing story, but a tangled web of psychological complexities between its characters. It is a tale of desire and deception, of how reality comes crashing down on us when we appreciate it the least. It is a tragic tale, and a cautionary one at that, but with so many themes at play, like all great classics, there is always something to be discovered with each reading of the ...

Man has always been curious and been investigating the nature of things. He has probed into the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of all phenomena observed. As science evolved, he came up with laws and equations to represent these observations. For many decades, if not centuries, he was satisfied with explaining everything around him using what is today known as ‘Classical Mechanics’. All bodies and phenomena observed could be explained by Newton’s Laws and his equations of motion. In fact this developed into the branch of Classical Mechanics and saw a huge leap in the field of Science. Be it describing ...

In the modern world, internet forms a center stage for nearly all activities and aspects in the social, political and economic dimensions of the society. For example, it plays an imperative role for schools, governments, business enterprises and individuals. It has transformed the global culture creating a new cultural experience not only for corporate firms, government and adults, but also children within homes and at school. It has been adopted in schools as a learning enhancement tool and as a means of communication transforming social interactions in the society. Additionally, it has been used as a means through which people take advantage of greater ...

Summary and Fundamental Ideas of the Writings

According to the Plato’s Republic, Socrates believed that people needed one another in order to survive. Generally, every person has his or her own strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, he argued that some people will do well in some art while others perform well in a different art. In this case, Socrates created some sort of City in Speech in order to elaborate on the aspect of justice and injustice in a wider perspective (Plato, 1966). According to Socrates, he believed that there is no difference between justice and injustice simply because there is no conflict in the city.

Earthquakes are destructive natural phenomenon caused by tectonic activity occurring along plate edges and faults. They generally have a trail of destruction owning to the large areas affected, as well as the suddenness and unpredictability. The higher the magnitude of the earthquake on the Richter Scale, the greater the destruction it is likely to cause. Damages include the destruction of property, loss of life, disruptions in vital infrastructural services such as power and water supply, transportation and communications. Earthquakes can also have a major economic impact.

Mark Twain once wrote, “I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. [] The pains which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity towards it” (Twain 26).
Most people find themselves in a dilemma when confronted with the subject of animal testing in research. Although many people support animal testing for the sake of basic research, and biomedical research, others believe that forcing animals to suffer distress, fear, and pain, regardless of the purpose or the outcome, is unethical. There is evidence that suggests that ...

In the 19th century William James suggested differentiating two types of memory, primary and secondary memory. Memory is not a system of one psychical function. In contemporary psychology there are usually three types of memory꞉ sensory, short term and long term memory. This paper will reflect on the last two types of memory
Short term memory holds information for a short period of time, up to 30 seconds. This type of memory has limited capacity and scientist usually use the rule of 7±2, which means that short term memory can receive from 5 to 9 units of information. In ...

The “New Negro Movement” came about as a result of a need to establish new identity for African-Americans after their freedom in the Civil War. There was still a great deal of racism present throughout the country, even in the comparatively enlightened cities of New York and Chicago, among others. The primary battlefield of this cultural movement was Harlem, New York, considered the “cultural capital of black America.” A great number of blacks had moved to New York in order to become part of this burgeoning musical and art culture, as well as financial and job opportunities. This soon-to-be “mecca for black ...

Moses was destined for a great future from the moment of his birth. It was through Moses that God could manifest his power and glory to the Israelites, the Egyptians and the whole world at large presently through the written word of the Bible. Moses miraculously survived the infanticide ordered by the King of Egypt due to the high rate of reproduction of the Israelites. The Egyptian King saw this as a future threat. Moses’ mother put him on a basket and placed it on river Nile when she could no longer keep him secretly. Some servants later spotted the basket and ...

A curious thing about sports at the highest level of performance is that there is often very little difference in physical skills between athletes. The real difference between players is what’s in their heads---who wants it the most, who has the most confidence, the mental toughness to go the extra mile.
Another curious thing regarding sports is that everybody “knows” what mental toughness is; yet, no one really knows how to define it. A search on mental toughness revealed a general lack of conceptual clarity or consensus as to the meaning of mental toughness, or even a consistent way ...

War and technological innovation have often gone hand-in-hand. Advancements in weaponry are, of course, inevitable under the circumstances of armed conflict, but the necessities of logistical concerns like supply, transport, communication and medicine are likewise sources of invention. World War I, a global conflict the likes of which the world had never seen, yielded an unprecedented number of technical advances, the magnitude of which were commensurate with a conflict large enough to destroy the old world order. This was the first war that brought entire citizen populations under fire. As such, it was inevitable that the world’s governments should turn ...

Internet fraud or cyber crime is on the rise. In the past few years the main media of fraud was thought to be only the internet, where criminals used sophisticated software or perpetrate attacks and gain un-authorized access to personal or company’s data. The same fear is still at large but, lately a lot of concern has shifted to social engineering. Social engineering can be perpetrated by use of technology or by use of non technology elements. Still social engineering is a major crime of concern to all stake holders whether in the IT industry or not.
