The forest may symbolize the dark period of life – the period of decline, depression, loss of hope, etc. It may also symbolize a time of issues, problems represented through the trees and grass, ...

The purpose of this paper is to review the article, “Was Darwin Wrong?”, by David Quammen (2004) and to offer some discussion at the end of the paper. The main thrust of the Quammen’s article is to provide a description of the current and past evidence that supports Darwin’s theory of evolution through natural selection. With a few exceptions, the title of the article is answered with a firm “no, Darwin was right.” Quammen first began with a discussion of the concept of theory and explained that a theory is an explanation for a set of circumstances ...

Large communities, or areas with sizable populations, have serious gang-related problems. This paper discusses existing empirical studies on gang formation, membership, and violence. There is a considerable dearth of studies ...

The nature of the modern society has made the relationship between science and technology to become stronger than before. The two domains are acknowledged as primary forms of human activities. They therefore stand at the side of arts and social sciences as essential to the human accomplishment as well as expression. The key to acknowledging the strong point in the relationship between the domains of science and technology is the recognition that neither of the two holds a deferential position. Instead, science and technology work jointly for the mutual benefit as well as advancement of each domain in both ...

Though the risks related to the project can cause dangerous and catastrophic problems, ...

Introduction

The primary purpose of philosophy is to clarify and refine the human thought processes so that the state of affairs and hence the reality of the world are clear. As such, philosophical problems are a failure to come up with the explanations of things that happen in the environment and by extension in the world. Philosophy is critical in refining the human's basic concepts that are applied to understand the reality. Just like in other sciences that are driven by the experimentations in the search for the truth, philosophy is informed by the questions that cannot be easily answered ...

Millennials

Today Millennials, or Generation Y, as they are sometimes called, catch a lot of negative energy from previous generation for being obsessed with technology, unwilling to find jobs, and outright lazy. Generation X, and primarily Baby Boomers wonder why Millennials did not play more outside, or walk seven miles both ways in the snow to sit on a dirt floor in school. They are touted as being too sensitive, whiny, overly-politically correct, and at times are blamed for ruining the country. While there is some truth to these claims, there are explanations for why Millennials live their lives the ...

Memory in poetry is an important aspect that poets must consider. According to Dymoke, Andrew and Anthony (18), it plays central roles such as constructing and maintaining the connections between things perceived in the poem. With a specific emphasis, the use of metaphors in poetry considerably promotes this function. A major function of metaphor in poetry is to talk about a single situation, object, or circumstance while alluding the other. According to Lakoff & Turner (2009), poetry, as a component of oral literature is a metaphor used to demonstrate the manner in which experience human life at a higher depth. ...

Introduction/Problem Statement

Despite much hullabaloo on women's equality and empowerment, it is not yet ascertained that the fairer sex is considered as equal when it comes to employment. Four decades after the enactment of Equal Pay Act, research finds that the salary of female bosses runs 35 percent short of their male colleagues. Statistics galore revealing the wage differential across occupations and industries. By contrast, critics on the 'right' opine that the pay gap is just a 'myth' as women deserve to get paid less because they work in less demanding jobs than male counterparts. Obviously, the issue carries much heft ...

Describe scientific explanation in detail. How does it relate to scientific hypothesis and scientific theory?

The term explanation may mean different things, especially in a wider perspective. However, in science, an explanation refers to the answer to a question that have stemmed from curiosity. Curiosity gives rise to questions that call for answers or explanations. Curiosity and inquisitiveness are among the characteristics that drive science to explore knowledge and use it for practical applications. The curiosity to know why the apple has fallen down from a tree has led Newton to wonder and apply the scientific method to arrive at a valid scientific explanation—the Law of gravitation. In short, the explanation that resolves ...

What does the margin of error tell us about a sample taken from a large population? How does the confidence level for a sample outcome differ from the sample’s margin of error? The margin of error is a numerical value that expresses or estimates the likelihood of error in an experiment’s results. Thus, it can somehow account for the statistical significance of a result. If it is smaller, then the likelihood of error is also small, making the results more credible. Smaller sample sizes from a large population generally have a larger margin of error while larger ...

The global financial crisis of 2008 has left its indelible mark on history. A series of explanations, which appeared along with difficult economic terms, abbreviations, and other puzzlingfactors were published in every newspaper.

And seven years later comes the picture of Adam McKay's "The Big Short" which sets itself the task to tell the real story as simple as possible for the viewer in a simple language. Adam McKay managed to create an impressive ...

A sociological theory of drug abuse and use views these phenomena as problems of the society rather than the individual, being due to economic, cultural, and social factors. In other words, sociological theories of drug abuse see the problem as external to the individual rather than internal or due to genetic and psychological conditions. The world around the individual is the source of the problem of abuse. However, in the sociological view of abuse, the cause of abuse becomes more abstract than in conventional views of drug abuse. Economic inequality has been proposed as a cause of drug abuse ...

The Biblical Scripture and the U.S. Civil and Criminal Codes

Research Paper

Introduction Almost all countries nowadays comply with one of two main legal systems-- civil law or common law. The civil law system originated from continental Europe and was implemented by European colonizers, like Portugal and Spain, in their respective colonies. On the other hand, the common law system was developed in Great Britain and was implemented in the British colonies. In the 19th and 20th centuries, civil law was accepted and enforced by countries previously implementing unique legal systems, like Japan and Russia, which aimed at reforming their legal ...

Abstract

This paper evaluates Hassan’s essay concerning suicide bombing with the aim of gaining an understanding of the phenomenon. In his discussion, Hassan offers three main explanations for the motivations behind these attacks. Initially, he argues that suicide bombers rarely suffer from mental disorders. According to the author, it is also inaccurate to refer to suicide bombers; rather they are more motivated by political reasons. Vengeance also drives some attackers. Such individuals or groups believe that injustices are being or were committed against the population they represent. As a result, if need be, they are willing to sacrifice their ...

Abstract

Human mind was always a mystery to humanity. Many thinkers and philosophers tried to solve its puzzles. Plato and Descartes are the philosophers who offer a comprehensive and well-known accounts of human mind and learning process. While both of them value the mind and wisdom the most, Plato considers contact with another very helpful in the process of learning while Descartes does not share his position. Plato's position is explained through his description of the ascent to light in the allegory of the cave while Descartes view is shown from his conclusions about mind and body from the Second ...

Mind, Soul and Body

It is evident that there is a very close relationship between the mind and body. A person who cannot control his or her body with what they think or the thinking with the body is said to mentally impaired. The mind deals with the mental process, thought and consciousness whereas the body is about the physical aspects of the brain (McLeod 1). That simple explanation shows that there is a close relationship between the two. The question this paper tends to answer is the close connection between the two but the fate of the mind after death. According to ...

1. The researchers studied how humans act in the case of emergency individually or in a group when they are exposed to the inaction of other people, who also witness the same emergency. Experiments were carried out to test the following hypotheses: Passive reactions of other witnesses, in this case, confederates, to an emergency situation will affect the behavior of an individual; therefore, he will be more unlikely to act than if he were the only witness of this emergency; According to the second hypothesis, if a group of naïve subject witnesses face an emergency situation, two factors ...

I believe that learning and creativity are closely intertwined. In our everyday life, every person probably experiences learning at one point or the other. Learning is integral to life. There are a myriad experiences and activities that are new to each and every person every day. As a child I learnt how to speak a ride bicycle with the help of my friends. It took a while but eventually I was able to balance myself on the two wheels: something I believed impossible. When I finally tested myself on a motorcycle in my teenage years, the only skill I ...

Democracies do not go to War with One Another

The correlation between democracy and war has been a major concern for various political commentators globally. The statement that democratic states rarely go to war is correct and is supported by many scholars. According to Rummel (1999, p. 10), democracy abhors any conceivable form of politically instigated violence. The statement that democratic states do not go to war is, therefore, justified and this behavior can be attributed to the makeup of a normal democratic country. Aspects such as respect for human rights, compliance with the rule of law and the presence of a competitive political setup have arguably contributed ...

With the science, information and technological boom in the past few decades, the internet has become the ubiquitous resource when it comes to acquiring information and knowledge. However increased use of search engines and other websites to acquire information has also given rise to questions about its effect on intelligence and behavior, especially in the case of children and adolescents. Children and adolescents are more likely to be affected as they are in their formative years and are highly susceptible. Access to information that is just a click away and this can lead to a mistaken belief and illusion ...

Cohabitation is an arrangement that involves two people, who are in a romantic relationship, living together as a couple without being formally married. Current trends show that cohabiting is becoming either a type of family system or a pathway to forming a traditional family through marriage. According to Finer and Philbin (2014), there has been a “growing delay of first marriage, which has been offset by increasing levels and duration of nonmarital cohabitation” (p. e272). Smock (2000, p. 3) states that the occurrence of marriages preceded by cohabitation between 1965 and 1974 was only 10%, whereas the occurrence of ...

A THERAPY PROGRAM FOR VICTIMS OF POST ELECTION VIOLENCE IN KENYA

After the controversial elections that took place in Kenya, there were problems that required intervention, from within the country as well as through the international community. Several people lost their homes, causing them to become internally displaced; others lost their businesses, farms and loved ones. People experienced harsh realities brought about by tribal clashes that were spread out over most of the country (Linke, 2013). The violence occurred over a period of nearly three months on counting, during this time people, developed bitterness and hatred and others experience post-traumatic stress among other psychological implications (Perkonigg, Kessler, Storz, & Wittchen, 2000). ...

In this paper, I am going to discuss an oratorical child leader whose name is Severn Cullis-Suzuki (BC BookWorld, n.d.; Cullis-Suzuki, 1994; speedybo's island, 1992). In 1992, she delivered her speech in the United Nations Earth Summit’s Plenary Session, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The theme of her oration is a call to end environmental abuse, wastage, and destruction. The focus of her speech is for conference delegates (e.g., governments, private corporate leaders, businesspersons, politicians, legislators, reporters, et al.) to assign a priority for children – during Suzuki’s and all other children’s time until future generations.

The Gender Discrimination in Criminal Justice System

Introduction Traditionally, women have not been viewed as criminals because of their less aggressive nature, making the act of crime to be mainly associated with the male gender. There are several theories brought forth to explain why the female gender would, or would not engage in crime. The theories, however, do not provide satisfactory explanations to the phenomenon leading to counterarguments. Also, the criminal justice of the United States of America has been viewed as discriminatory because it fails to address the gender needs of female offenders whose number has increased over time. This essay discusses the historical perspectives, ...

Introduction

In the year 2015, Wang, Doleschel, Wunderlich, and Heinen published a paper in the Journal of Medical Systems [1]. The paper was on a wearable wireless ECG system that was based on the novel 3-Lead electrode placements. After carrying out an experiment for the 3-Lead electrode placements, it was discovered that the distance between the electrodes could further be reduced for efficiency. A smaller sized sensor node being powered by a rechargeable battery would then be developed based on the newly identified electrode positions. A dynamic method of controlling power is also automatically installed in the sensor node for ...

Have Suicide Attacks Helped or Hindered Terrorist Groups’ Goals?

Terrorism that uses suicide as a means of attacking individuals and places is on the rise across the globe with the reasons for the increase in such instances having no clear explanations. However, existing reports that are based on psychological dynamics have gotten contradicted by the widening gap of socioeconomic backgrounds of terrorists who commit such suicide attacks. According to Pape (2003), it is evident that the aim of suicide bombings is to make countries that are liberal and modern in nature to give into demands of terrorist groups existing within their respective borders. Additionally, it is common belief ...

Psychology

There are several ways through which one can understand the terms ‘qualitative’ and ‘quantitative’. Some of these ways are as follows:

The assumptions made

This is the first way through which can understand the meaning and the differences between the two terms. Research that is considered to be quantitative uses objectivity to see the world and the events happening in it. This implies that it is possible for one to identify causes and effects, reasons and explanations. A good example of this is considering a potential tourist. Such a tourist might begin by making a list of the potential destinations. He will ...

Quasi-experiments are research designs that attempt to mimic an experimental design. However, the researcher cannot control the assignment of study participants to groups: a key feature for true experiments (Wadsworth, n.d.). This paper explores quasi-experiments as a research design.

Part 1

Advantages of Quasi-experiments Firstly, quasi-experiments, as the name suggests, are not true experiments. They contain elements of both a true experimental and correlational research (Jackson, 2012). Therefore, they allow the researcher to obtain stronger conclusion compared to when they conduct a pure correlational research. Secondly, quasi-experiments are useful in circumstances when conducting a true experiment is either infeasible or very ...

Painting and art have been part of the Chinese culture for centuries, and the type of art the Chinese civilizations engaged in distinguish them from vast western arts. In this regards, major artists have attributed the Chinese art as having a unique essence, compared to the aesthetic art embraced by western cultures. Therefore, different authors have bid to explain the uniqueness of the Chinese painting and art, but in doing so, they have also had different methodologies and approaches of attaining a similar goal. For instance, Wen and Kathlyn, both wrote about Chinese art and painting, but their methodologies ...

In the recent times, the issue of crime and deviance has become one of the most talked about within the society. Deviance is made up of two categories: legally deviant behavior and illegally deviant behavior. For example, to understand legally deviant behavior, we can refer to this situation. Jonathan walked through his local library while listening to loud music from her mobile phone. This can be termed legally deviant since she is not breaking any law, but her acts are socially unacceptable. Moreover, illegally deviant takes place in a different approach. For instance, Kelvin hit a pregnant face on ...

INTRODUCTION

Adequate comprehension of the composition of the mind is somewhat challenging from the literal perspective. Precisely, it is difficult to explain how the consciousness occurs from a scientific perspective due to the presence of the complexities of the human cognition. David Chalmers (1995) proposes that there are many “easy” problems of consciousness, but one genuinely “hard” problem, namely what philosophers call “qualia”, or phenomenal experience. He argues that the reductive physical, mechanical and functional explanations made by cognitive science are only adequate to explain the easy problems, and that the hard problem requires explanations different not just in difficulty, ...

Pop-Art is a term that was coined by Lawrence Alloway, an English curator, and critic of art, in the year 1955. The term describes a movement that emerged in the US in the late-1950s and mid-1950s in Britain and consisted of subversive artists who adopted art from popular culture and materialism, and majorly used mass media to convey messages from their artworks. Pop culture, also called popular culture, are mainstream perspectives, views, adverts, images, etc. mostly portrayed in mass media.

According to David Hume, the essence of justice is vital to the success of any society. David Hume also asserts that certain benefits associated with justice usually arise from that basis that it may be superfluous, particularly when individuals implement initiatives to develop its proof (Hume 10). David Hume also believes that the primary origin of Justice is social utility. The benefits or advantages of justice in his opinion are founded on virtues. He is also of the opinion that stakeholders should engage in in-depth inquiry of virtues as the foundation of the benefits of justice. From a personal ...

There is a significant debate between many experts about the origins of the universe and the explanations as to why humanity is the way it is. Three of the main channels for this are religion, philosophy, and science. Science is by far the most important approach to understanding how the world works. It is the most understandable, solid explanation for the answers that many people seek. It explains why the world was created, how humans, plants, and animals came to be, and why people are hardwired to do the things that they do. Everything is explained within a discipline ...

Birkbeck, C., & LaFree, G. (1993). The Situational Analysis of Crime and Deviance. Annual Review Of Sociology, 113-137. In “The Situational Analysis of Crime and Deviance” Birkbeck and LaFree argue that there are two explanations of crime and deviance and they are situational and dispositional, but situational explanations are of greater importance. Even though during last decades a lot of scientists were likely to focus on dispositional theories, nowadays there is the awareness that dispositional theories are limited and scientists are encouraged to consider situational theories (main point). In particular, Birkbeck and LaFree state that the majority of studies, which ...

Lab report

Abstract The contemporary microbiology world has witnessed a gradual interest in identifying the types of microbes that are resident in the human body more so due to plausible health benefits they may bring and because of their possible detrimental effects. In this regard, fear of the pathogenic consequences of microorganism in the body has pioneered the advent of hand sanitizers aimed at checking this effect. As a standard procedure in microbiology especially in laboratory experiments, sanitizers are used in eliminating microbes from the surface of the hand. The conducted experiment in this write-up thus aims to analyze the presence ...

Introduction

The field of psychology as an area of study consists of distinctive branches, each of which looks into human experiences, behavior, and mental process from a different point of view. For instance, cognitive psychology focuses on the study of human’s internal processes, such as what goes on in their minds, what motivates them as well as how they perceive people around them. Accordingly, as people’s curiosity in the relationship of the human brain and the behavioral responses in a cognitive task increased, many empirical and theoretical studies were conducted. The study of cognitive psychology has had a ...

Typically, when information is written by scholars, the information is transferred to the end users of the information. The end users, in this case, are the people seeking to find solutions to their research problems from the sources while the scholars are the authors of the sources. It is, therefore, prudent for scholars to take a lot of caution in their writing. They need to keep it simple and have detailed explanations with numerous examples to enable the readers or the end users of their work to have a better understanding of their work. Moreover, having a better understanding ...
