The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to be given to an artist “who created the most distinguished picture book of the year.” (www.ala.org) In 1992, the winner of that prestigious award was David Wiesner, the children’s author and illustrator of the book Tuesday. Known for books with little or few words, Tuesday stays true to this artist’s format. The book opens with the words, “TUESDAY EVENING, AROUND EIGHT”. It is easy to see why it became such a favorite. Simply it is the story of frogs unexpectedly taking flight from their pond, on lily pads. Through pictures ...

There may be various reasons as to why some parents like the idea of having their children stay near or have dogs as pets. In any case, having a dog as a pet is what is considered as the norm in many families. However, this norm and change in an instant especially if the dog bites an individual in the family. In the case that this happens, the household may be turned upside down. Dogs can be the best companions to children, however, sometimes they can be very dangerous if they are not treated well. It is almost difficult ...

Mental events as asserted in behaviorism are considered to be unscientific and embrace the use of practical experiment in the collection of data other than the use of mental processes. Behaviorism, as argued by the different scholars of psychology, is an approach that is employed in the study of both animal and human behavior and holds that the conduct can be measured. However, it is paramount to appreciate the fact that the behaviorist denies the use of human mind and hold that behavior is an essential tool that can be utilized in the psychological studies. However, it is important ...

In his works, Chekhov paid great attention to the world of complicated, and often unpredictable actions of the human soul, especially to the feeling of love. Indeed, love is the greatest, lightest, and most beautiful feeling, but the 19th century imposed restrictions on it, thus making this form of passion legislated by only one marriage that took place in people's lives once and for all. As a result, love appeared to be just of the elements of a daily life. In Chekhov's times, it would be considered normal to have a marriage of convenience, however, a person that lives ...

In the poems, “Home Movies: A Sort of Ode” by Mary Jo Salter and “The Things” by Donald Hall both personas in the poems pay tribute to their upbringing as a child, which is memorialized in the things that they possess in their homes. Both poets rely on creative use of alliteration and lineation to convey their message. However, each poet used these elements to achieve a different effect in their respective poems. In both Salter’s and Hall’s poems, the use of alliteration is key in re-creating their childhood or emphasizing the things ...

A short film “Ghost Recon: Alpha” is the background to the game “Ghost Recon: Future Soldier”, released in 2012 (Alaux et al.). The French company, engaged in the video games production, Ubisoft performed the adaptation of the given film. After a bad start of the game Prince of Persia on the big screen, Ubisoft came to a more serious approach to this issue.

Pit-bulls have had controversy surrounding them for many years. There are some people who think the breed should be eradicated because of the breed being vicious to other dogs and people. There have been numerous cases that have made news headlines about pit-bulls attacking people. One of the main concerns people have is that pit-bulls are the number one breed of dogs commonly found in dog fighting circles. Due to them being raised to attack and kill other dogs, they are difficult to retrain to socialize with other dogs and people and end up either being euthanized or live ...

Protecting animal rights is one of the major advocacies in contemporary society and such fervor can be attributed to animal rights advocates with the likes of Tom Regan. In his article ‘The Case for Animal Rights,’ Regan took an absolutism stand in support animal rights and established the theoretical framework of absolutism or Kantianism as the most plausible moral and ethical foundation why humans should protect animal rights at all cost. Regan approached his topic by examining ethical theories that serves as the common basis of human morality. According to Regan, it is fundamentally wrong for humans ...

Dear Grandma,

I hope you must be enjoying the sun and baking yummy cookies. I really miss you Granny and want to give a big hug to you. Grandma last week our pet dog Zorro passed away; all of us are very sad. I miss him and all his pranks and he used to scare all the kids and I used to feel like superman. I feel better when I go to school, but mom keeps holding on to his leash and his red jacket; she keeps looking at the pathway and hopes he will come back. As you know that ...

Do you believe in reincarnation? Personally I never did before. I cannot say that I belong to that category of people who refer themselves to any particular religion or devote their lives to appreciating gods or saints. I preferred to characterize myself as a rational person. I believed in rationality and usually can find a sober reason and explanation to anything in the world – everything that seems to be supernatural has a rational explanation. I never really thought and cared about my soul, but a tiny event that recently happened in my life made me change my views and ...

Introduction

Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were brutally murdered between 10:15 p.m. and 10:35 p.m. on Sunday June 12, 1994 in the front of Nicole Brown Simpson’s Brentwood condominium located in Los Angeles, California. O.J. Simpson committed these murders. The witness testimony and the evidence at the crime scene of the murders of Brown Simpson and Goldman clearly indicate that O.J. Simpson committed the crimes. However, the incompetence of the Los Angeles Police Department during the investigation of the murders allowed the defense to create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors so that a non-guilty verdict ...

Abstract

The 1956 US Presidential election in was a similar contest to the former contest in the year 1952 and pitted Republican Dwight Eisenhower and Democrat’s Adlai Stevenson. Republican’s Dwight Eisenhower beat Stevenson in a similar manner to the year 1952. This happened despite the intense speculation in the winter of the previous year the incumbent Dwight Eisenhower would not run owing to his failing health. His failing health emerged as a campaign issue in the electioneering period and was used by the opponents to fight him. The year 1956 was also the year that television commercials were used a great deal ...

Letter from Birmingham Jail

- King points out the unjust segregation laws and justifies the need to use nonviolent demonstrations to push the administration into negotiations. He is also refuting the accusation against him in his involvement in the demonstration. His approach is effective as it arouses the emotions of not only his accusers but the general public. King diverts slightly from his point of view when he begins giving the role of the church.

- King says that it is only logical to demonstrate to force the administration into negotiations since it had refused to negotiate when approached in a civilized manner. ...

Psychology as a science covers a wide area in social science. It studies the mental, mind and emotional issues. Psychology over the years has evolved and various theories explain the changes in behavior and emotions expressed by human beings. The perspectives developed in psychology include cognitive, behaviorism, diversity and culture. Everything in the world revolves around psychology. The fathers of psychology come up with theories that cover and explain the essence of different behaviors and actions.

The theory of behaviorism was founded by Ivan Pavlov who did a research on the behavior of dogs. He did a research on their digestion. The ...

The article “Minds of Their Own” was written by the author Virginia Morell and published in the National Geographic Magazine. In this article Virginia explores the mental abilities of animals and explains how scientists have discovered the intelligence in them. The article begins with an example of a scientist, Irene Pepperberg, who is a Harvard University graduate. She introduced to her laboratory a parrot named Alex and attempted to teach it how to communicate. According to Morell, there are particular skills that are seen to indicate higher mental abilities in animals; a good memory, self-awareness, grasp of grammar and symbols, understanding other’s ...

A Presentation

My presentation today is about two well-known Australian poems which are both broadly anti-war in their overall message, but were written in different periods and use different poetic techniques to convey the poet’s emotions and thoughts. ‘The Trains’ by Judith Wright was written during the Second World War when the threat of a Japanese invasion of the north of Australia was seen as a real possibility. ‘Homecoming’ by Bruce Dawe was written in response to Australian involvement in the Vietnam War in the late 1960s and early 70s.

Each poem’s title gives no hint of its actual subject ...

Introduction

Jewellery has been in existence since the early humans began to become civilized. The human desire is to be adorned with precious metals and gems. This has been evident since the Neolithic and Palaeolithic eras. The early humans made jewellery that was formed from claws, bones, teeth and shells. This has been documented by archaeologists. The Egyptians, the Romans and the Greeks applied distinct methods for the creation of jewellery (Cartlidge 1985; Dorner & Turner 1985; Druff and Dormer 1995; Druitt 1986; Falk 1989; Game and Goring 1998; Gilhooley and Costin 1998; Grant 2005; Grant 2007; Hinks 1983; Hughes 1972; ...

First discovered in the year of 1976 after an outbreak in South Sudan (Gatherer, 2014), Ebola is considered as one of the deadliest medical conditions effecting the world along with cancers and AIDS. The disease is highly communicable and contagious even after the death of the victim and, therefore, has become deadlier in a world that is well connected, with thousands of people travelling from one place to another (Goeijenbier, van Kampen, Reusken, Koopmans and van Gorp, 2014). The recent outbreak in the African continent has led the world to shift gears to high alerts for any prospective Ebola victims ...

DISCUSS THE ROLE OF ION CURRENTS IN DETERMINING THE SHAPE AND DURATION OF CARDIAC ACTION POTENTIAL

Introduction Selective permeability to various ions is an important characteristic of cell membranes, one that determines myriad cellular functions. In animal cells, ion permeability and the electrical potential generated thereof determines the activity of neurons, myocytes and the like. The electrical potential depends on the concentration of the ions inside and outside any given cell, the permeability of the cell membrane to the ions and the ion channels that are present on the surface of the cell. Cardiac cells also possess different ion channels on their surface. These determine the two types of electrical potentials, namely, resting membrane ...

The movie “A Dog’s Love” is a short film that was made in 1914. Despite that this is an old movie I think it is still very efficient. Charlie Chaplin once said that babies and dogs are the best actors. This movie truly proves it. The plot involves a rich little girl. No one wants to play with her, because she is rich. Her parents don’t play with her too.I think that this situation is common even nowadays.

Children don’t need money, they need to communicate with the others. A lot of times children don’t want to ...

Before understanding Buddha as one of the three jewels, it is first necessary to discuss the term “Three Jewels,” or “three treasures.” The jewel is something that is very precious. It is the Buddhists belief that the three fundamental teachings of Buddhism are very precious like jewels and for being Buddhist, the person has to take refuge of the three jewels. 'For lay follower and monastic alike, the three 'jewels' remain powerful objects for the ritual and devotional expression of their faith. ‘(“The Foundation of Buddhism” in Gethin, p.168) Taking refuge means taking shelter of the three jewels. 'Going ...

Q. Watch any child-oriented cartoon on television. Describe the obvious and implied messages (both positive and negative) apparent in the cartoon about race and ethnicity and gender differences. Consider how these messages may affect gender and ethnic development in young children.

The cartoon show that I will be discussing in the paper is the famous Tom and Jerry Show. I will be highlighting how messaging is apparent about race, ethnicity and gender differences.

The gender differences highlighted in the cartoon is stark and rampant through the show:

Classical conditioning is the process of learning whereby an unconditioned stimulus is paired with a conditional stimulus. It is a process of behavior modification in which the subject responds to a previously neutral stimulus in a desired manner when it is repeatedly presented along with an unconditional stimulus. There have been various speculations by different literature on the possibility of conditioning emotional responses, but the experimental evidence has usually been lacking. There has been a suggestion that there must be a way in which stimuli can call out emotions. John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner decided to put the matter to test through the little ...

Overview: If dogs are protected under the law, then the same law should protect pigs. Under animal rights laws, a dog owner may not treat their pet dog, however, he or she wants. A person who abuses a dog could face criminal charges. From an ethical perspective, the same should apply to pigs. Peter Senger discusses the reason in Speciesism and the Equality of Animals. He uses the term Speciesism as a bias towards one’s own breed. This can cause a person to over look an animal’s sentience. Is the animal capable of suffering? This should be the question we ...

1) Experiential cognition refers to activities we are skilled at which we can do without having to think, given our innate experience with them. Reflective cognition takes time and effort, as people have to actively think about their actions in order to accomplish them. This latter one is better for good academic performance, as reflective cognition can deal with more complicated problems, and is essentially the process by which we learn new things. 2) The two criteria for critical thinking are 1) the existing skills to generate and process beliefs and information, and

2) the ability to use those ...

Historically, movies production target to capture and sale for a large global audience. Therefore, it is natural that companies and organizations dealing in consumer goods, however without contact to motion picture industry, have used movies as a feasible marketing channel. Principally movie genre for example action, drama, science fiction among others naturally represent a given specific target market. Consequently, it becomes easy to incorporate commercial messages to influence specific target audience. The messages are included in the movies via a promotion method known as product placement. This paper will briefly give three examples of brands featured in television programs.

Contrary to the belief that at least 50% of hotel businesses fail during their first year of operation, and 95% within five years, latest evidence reveal that at least seven out of ten hotel entrepreneurs do not survive in their first year of operation, and only 51% survive the first five years (CANINA, and CARVELL, 2007). The reasons behind hotel failures range from financial, management, and personal traits. The business requires commitments, excellent customer services, and producing quality demanded by customers. It also requires adjustments in tastes and preferences to match the continuous diversification and changes in demand structures ...

Introduction

The study of mental processes and behavior, Psychology, is a rapidly growing field. Until recently Psychology was not accorded the importance it holds in our lives and in some parts of the world the importance of psychology is still largely under-rated. However psychology has time and again proved its effectiveness in cases where it has been used to correct mental problems and also improve lives. In a world where people are subjected to the pressure of achieving and where there are a lot of stress factors psychology is of great importance.

Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge through different methods. This is what interests many academicians and scholars for centuries. Many scholars would like to know which method would foster learning the fastest and which is the most effective. Thus, learning theories had been developed, improved and constantly evaluated to measure its reliability. This paper would like to distinguish Observational learning from the other learning theories that have often been used interchangeably with the subject of this paper.

Observational Learning

Alfred Bandura, a renowned behaviorist proposed a salient technique of learning that does not require reinforcement or the traditional rudimentary precepts in ...

Virginia Woolf's novel, Mrs. Dalloway, is considered by most to be a baffling read. This is partly because the novelist, Woolf, experiments with the technique of connecting the character's internal and external dialogues in the text. This is quite obvious in the author's characterization of Mrs. Dalloway or Clarissa, the protagonist of the novel, and Septimus. Many critics contend that both of these characters are a doubles. This idea, of course, comes from the “Introduction to the Random House edition of her novel” which states that, “‘Septimus, who later is intended to be her [that ...

Discussion 1 Pavlov and Classical Conditioning

Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist born in the mid 1800s, had started the early part of his career focusing on digestion (Chance 2014, Chapter 3). While he earned a Nobel Prize for this work, he soon decided to move over to psychology in order to make a bigger impact on the world and get on the ground floor of exciting new research. He worked primarily on the subject of temperament and reflex, showing how people reacted to pain and stress. Throughout his career in the medical profession, he was a passionate and dogged investigator, and was instrumental in contributing to the concept of ...

Revealing both the best and worst aspects of humanity, the Renaissance was characterized by extraordinary human achievements, a heightened interest in human potential and, paradoxically, by superstition, witch-hunting, exorcism and torture. The humanism of Renaissance had four main themes: the belief in the individual’s potential, a tendency to view religion as being more personal rather than institutionalized, an increased interest in the classics, a rejection of Aristotelian philosophy in order to develop a more scientific attitude. As the ecclesiastical power started to deteriorate, the pressure of having to fit scientific inquiry with Christian dogma decreased, making inquiry steadily more objective. Copernicus ...

Businesses take many different forms, and understanding the different faces of businesses and their ownership can help us understand the businesses that make up our community. In Southern California, we pride ourselves on being open to entrepreneurial businesses and new ideas, and founding communities that are welcoming to new businesses with different approaches to the traditional business model. In this article, two local businesses will be examined; they are Dirty Dogs, which proclaims itself to be the “earth-friendly pet product store and spa,” and Jimbo’s, which is a local health food grocery store (“Dirty Dogs: Earth ...

Everywhere in the world today we can see prevalence of engineering. From pyramids to the Golden Gate Bridge and the Shard of London, we can see miracles of Civil Engineering everywhere. And the excitement and curiosity; to understand how such seemingly impossible projects were materialized into standing realities, was my prime motivation to study Civil Engineering.

Being attracted to huge structures, I always found myself dwelling deeper into their existence, rather than just marveling at their beauty. Whenever I look at a historical building or a modern skyscraper, I find myself thinking about how it must have been built. I imagine ...

There have been several studies done on the benefits of adult education (Demidenko, 2007; Grace, 2012; Nordlund, 2013, Reese, 2012; Roehrig, 2010; Jensen, 2007). Grace (2012) provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits of adult education. This author argues that education has a significant role in societal transformation. In the past, education was valued by a few, a reason why a large percentage of the old generation in modern society is uneducated or partially educated. Supporting this perception, Nordlund (2013) clarifies that education has undergone rapid transformation recently. Nordlund further explains that, while a majority of adults has completed secondary education, less than half of ...

- What was your favorite film viewed in the class this semester and why?

I would mark out Reservoir Dog by Quentin Tarantino as my favorite because I am a worshiper of his creative activity. I liked it because once one had seen it he would never forget the scenes. Tarantino supposed the scenes to be disturbing and he succeeded. I do not like violence, but I like the way the scenes in the film were organized. I believe that the film leaves no one indifferent due to black humor used and Tarantino’s unique narrative style. Also, particular attention should be paid to social context of the film meaning the relationships between black ...

risks. I’m not much of a risk taker. As such, although the business world seems exciting, I feel a bit intimidated by the fact that I have to face all these risks once I join this world. Also part of what makes it intimidating for me is that I think that the skill of knowing when to take risks and when not to take risks is not something that can be effectively learned from school or from reading books. Instead, I think that this skill is best learned through experience. This then means that I would have to make a lot ...

Learning is key to human development and behavior. Behavioral psychology is one of the methods for understanding how learning develops and the understanding of individuals. Learning is a modification of behaviors due to consistent practice and requires the interaction of behavior and environment to yield changes. Assessment of learning is performed by means of tests that quantitatively measure achievements; whether they are newly acquired mental or physical skills. Learning and performance are related but separate subjects, and learning itself may be state dependent, meaning, that the conditions under which material was learned must be replicated in order for that learning ...

Police patrol relates to monitoring of specific geographical areas by police officers. This is achieved through movement within the specified area at regular periods looking for any indications of crime or breach of peace. Patrols are usually conducted by uniformed officers (Ortmeier, 2006). Even though it is not readily highlighted, police patrol may be regarded as the backbone of police work (Stering, 2004). Accordingly, police patrol plays a key role in law enforcement.

There are about eight types of patrols. The first type is foot patrol; this is the precursor to all patrols and is the most readily used. It ...

1. The underlying form is basically the form that the speaker associates it with. So, for example, in English, we have several different ways of forming the plural. So, we have different plural endings for /kæts/, /dɒɡz/ and /hɔrsɨz// (cats, dogs, and horses) based on the phonetic environment that they occur in. But we still perceive the underlying form to be /s/, as reflected in our writing system. The underlying forms, in this case, /s/, is expressed as the surface forms, or variants, when they are surrounded by phonemes which directly affect how they are ...

Choosing the Topic

Instead of coming up with the appropriate topic as the teacher, I felt that it was best to select a topic by first understanding what the children’s interests were, and this would be through an assessment of their conversations, drawings, observations, questions and parental reports. Most of the children were interested in pets that they had at home, and a majority of the pets that interested them were dogs. Their conversations and drawings revolved around their pets. I realized that this would be a relevant topic for investigation because it would focus on the following vital aspects of children growth and ...

Human beings often seek the companionship of animals and have been known to develop strong emotional bonds with them over long term interactions. Of all domesticated animals, cats and dogs are known to be the most popular pets. While cat owners and dogs owners can indulge in a never ending debate about which animal makes a better pet, cats and dogs themselves have several similarities and even more dissimilarities.

Once one goes beyond these similarities, cats and dogs are full of differences. To begin with, cats have retractable claws that allows them to stay sharp, while a dog’s claws are not retractable ...

Learning is a continuous process that doesn't end after we received our hard-earned diploma. People have the capacity to discover and explore new things, thus constitutes a continuous quest for learning new things. In the psychological point of view, learning has related principles and theories that explains the process in which a person can effectively absorb new information. One example is myself initiative to learn a new language specifically French. It is not easy to just listen to a French conversation and be able to pick-up the details of the conversation's entire context. It takes a lot of practice and practical application of ...
