Defining intelligence has been a complex area of study. In the era of psychometrics and behaviorism intelligence was considered to be a single trait which individuals inherited. It was believed that the human mind was like a blank slate and whatever taught to them would be learnt by them would be learnt. Under this assumption every human mind was treated as having the same capabilities and individual differences were ignored. On the other hand, a large number of researchers are of the belief that individuals hold some sort of capabilities which allow them to learn and adapt at varying rates. In a report published ...

Bertolt Brecht has long been viewed as one of the first practitioners of what is known as the epic form of theater, in which he sought to bring novel changes to drama, breaking away from the conventional forms.

James, who was a philosopher, psychologist, and Harvard lecturer during the middle and late 1800s used much of his writings to define and explain the concept of ...

Conflict in Syria dominated by Sunni failed to topple Assad’s Alawi regime leading to a civil war unlike other Arab countries where regimes have been brought down. Syria’s response to the civil war was not to the interest of the people rather to protect its self resulting to a crisis of confidence.

There is a distinct aroma in the air. The scent is a robust odor that smells like the home of an elderly person. The aroma is not unpleasant. Starbucks is busy. It is in a state of constant motion. This flux is like a pulse. People come. People go. They order, some stay, most leave, hurrying off to this and that. Like a train station, this coffee shop is a place of transit. People are unaware they are being observed and recorded, that their subconscious motions, their being, is being monitored and recorded. Where a person’s gaze rests for an instant, becomes the world. In ...

Imagine being in a wilderness, in an alien place, life all around you, life going on unhindered. Despite the abundance around you, you still can’t find something to feed on, cheer you or relate to. It is like the unlikely situation where all over sudden, your friends quit speaking in a language you understand. You can no longer understand what they say, nor can they you. The world can become a very lonely place in such circumstances; when you fail to fit, not of your own doing, but a cruel mix of fate and circumstances. This is the predicament that most ...

Elvis Presley was one of the greatest musicians in rock 'n roll history - he revolutionized the way in which people enjoyed pop music, and became an all-American icon with untold wealth throughout the 60s and 70s. He was one of the catalysts that brought rock 'n' roll, primarily thought to be a black musical style, to wider acceptance by whites, and pushed boundaries of raciness and eroticism in American live musical performance. Elvis Presley was the ultimate Memphis Rockabilly artist as he combined white sensibilities and good looks with urban jazz and blues music styles. Because of this ability ...

Two Simple Proposals

Even after his death in 1962, Paul Goodman was remembered by the whole of America due to his contributions in various fields, especially in education. He was a vocal critique of the American kind of education, such that he looked for a way to change the system. He felt that the current system was not serving the need of the students but was just programming them to be what other people wanted them to be, rather than what they aspired to be (Friedebberg, 10). He therefore wrote a book entitled ‘Mis-Education’ in which he suggested two simple proposals of reforming the education ...

The expansion of the American railroad system in the 19th century brought with it unprecedented economic and cultural change – which also happened at an unprecedented pace. It is almost impossible for us, in the early 21st century, to conceive the complete transformation that the railroad was responsible for – both directly and indirectly. Westland and Clark (12) compare the impact of the railroad on ordinary life with the impact of the internet on our generation. Indeed, in 1900 the railroad was responsible for 15% of American GDP – roughly equivalent to the internet’s impact on the American economy. Early in ...
