During sleep, the brain releases certain molecules that regulates energy, mood and mental acuity. An optimum period of 7 to 8 hours’ sleep is required for the brain to rejuvenate and get prepared for the next day. When this is denied, the performance of ...

I agree with Freud’s argument that mood fluctuations mark adolescence stage. During this period, teenagers experience rapid physical changes that affect their behaviors. The mood fluctuations are widely attributed to biological changes related to puberty, rather than the adolescent’s social contexts. During puberty, hormonal levels change from time to time, thereby causing mood swings. In most cases, the effects of the hormonal changes vary between girls and boys (Casey, Jones & Hare, 2008). Boys at this stage are impulsive, aggressive, and irritable whereas girls demonstrate depressive moods. However, both teachers and parents can help restore the adolescents’ sense ...

Computers are complicated machines that require multiple trial and error sessions to understand, and the different programs they carry, make it harder to do the same.

This paper substantiates the insights espoused by Enrico Moretti that the level of economic success depends on a number of factors, such as: education, productivity, and salary. These factors related greatly to geography, that is, where you live and work (Moretti 3).

Workers in developed cities, where innovation proves to be the driver in labor productivity, earn up to three times ...

Studying personality traits is important because they can predict essential consequences of everyday concerns such as health, occupational achievement, marital satisfaction, divorce, and even mortality (Ozer & Benet-Martinez, 2006; Roberts, Kuncel, Shiner, Caspi, & Goldberg, 2007 as cited by Roberts, 2009). One can then say that having a good grasp of personality traits can better someone’s life by shaping it up to produce good results. Roberts (2009) actually claimed that the goal of the parents is to teach their children to have personality traits—qualities that will help children no matter what situation they got themselves into. Different definitions have ...

The skin is one of the peripheral body organs that clearly indicate changes in the aging process. It is evident by the continual loss of skin elasticity in adults.
