(2006) used brain scanners and identified that training can improve the speed of information processing, however Dux et al. (2006) agrees on the fact that tasks processing is not done simultaneously but can be carried out in ...

The term is used to refer to actions of many radical groups which carry out violent crimes with an ulterior motive of influencing change in certain institutions. Religion is perhaps the most used ...

Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried tells an anthologized story of a platoon of American soldiers throughout the Vietnam conflict, demonstrating just how significant the effect of the war was on everyone who experienced it.

Instead, the mood and atmosphere of O’Brien’s experiences is projected onto this semi-autobiographical group of characters, creating a stylized world in ...

Critiquing Quantitative and Qualitative Studies

Several research techniques are available all with the aim of achieving precise data or information or data about something. Quantitative technique, sometimes referred to as true science, involves the use of mathematical and statistical methods in the analysis and drawing useful information from a specific set of data (Davies, 2009). On the other hand, qualitative is a type of technique used to study behavior and habits portrayed by humans under different environments. The critique is aimed at juxtaposing the two techniques involved in the field of research with critical analysis of the two methods.

In both The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien and “Janus” by Ann Beattie, the main characters are burdened ...

Theories concerned with how and why individuals become criminals have been circulating since the late nineteenth century and range from physiological reasons to issues concerned with the community and social problems. One such discussion point for the former is the impact of problems in the family environment as being the cause of offender behaviour in childhood, adolescence and beyond into adulthood. In practice, it becomes clear that these problems are a significant cause of delinquency and criminality, and whilst they may not be held entirely to account for the behaviour of the individual, their impact certainly ...

Both F. Scott Fitzgerald and Tim O’Brien are Minnesota-based authors who have written prescient and affecting works that highlight the human experience. In The Great Gatsby, the Roaring Twenties and all its debauchery are encapsulated in the tale of Jay Gatsby, poor boy made good, whose fortune and ambition is all for the sake of one woman he wants back in his life.

In Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried," an American platoon experiences horror, death and loss in the jungles of Vietnam, all while carrying various objects of both practical and personal significance to them. O'Brien's language in this story, as he delineates and describes in great detail the appearance and source of all of these objects and what they mean to the soldiers, is scattered and stream-of-consciousness at times. This is meant to convey the abstract importance of these things in the soldiers' lives; some of them, like the M-16, are supposed to protect them, while others, like Lt. Cross' ...

Since ancient times, human sexuality has been a debate that has influenced culture, societal norms, and gender responsibilities. Naturally, there are two distinct sexes—male and female—and anything in between makes an individual ostracized in the society. Furthermore, because of many societies having a propensity for patriarchy, practices have resulted in making one gender inferior to the other or superior to the other. For instance, circumcision in males is seen as a sign of manhood and strength, while circumcision in females—termed as female genital mutilation (FGM) – is a way of suppressing women sexually (Ehrenreich and Barr 17). ...
