The Walker Within: How Zombies Define Humanity Since it first hit comic store shelves in 2003, The Walking Dead has captivated readers, gaining even more prominence when it was made into a television series by the same name in October, 2010 by AMC.

Are twenty-first-century Americans more democratic than the Founding Fathers and would the U.S. profit by adopting New Hampshire´s Constitution? Are twenty-first-century Americans more democratic than the Founding Fathers and would the U.S. profit by adopting New Hampshire´s Constitution?

It would seem pretty straightforward to conclude that 21st century Americans are more democratic than were the framers of the Constitution. After all, only a relatively small minority of Americans were eligible to vote when the country first came into being. To start off, no women were allowed to vote. Of course, slaves were not allowed to vote either, ...

Just as James Lovelock once said, “We live at a time when emotions and feelings count more than truth, and there is a vast ignorance of science”, it is true that in this age it is increasingly important to listen to the scientific facts, as science is the best tool we have to discern whether or not climate change is caused by mankind. The term “anthropogenic” is used to describe human-made climate change and means originating in human activity. Climate change is defined in the change in global climatic patterns since the mid-20th century and is not limited to ...

Aubrey, J.S., & Frisby, C.M. (2011). Sexual objectification in music videos: a content analysis comparing gender and genre. Mass Communication and Society 14: 475-501.

In this article, Aubrey and Frisby (2011) create a coding system which measures the correlations between representations of women and sexual objectification. According to their findings, female artists provide a greater amount of sexual objectification in their videos, and are placed under greater pressure to appear more attractive and glamorous. They are also more likely to showcase sexually suggestive behavior and attitudes. This evidences adds to the argument that women are problematically presented in popular culture and media, as they are placed under a male gaze to be as attractive as possible; a woman’s sexuality is shown to be her primary feature, ...

Question 1.

The strict father model and the nurturant parent models are two paradigms suggested by the political thinker George Lakoff. If one views the government as the parent of the family-nation, then the strict father model is a metaphor for conservative politics.

There are several tenets that undergird the strict father model. One is that children gain knowledge through a system of rewards and punishments, also known as operant conditioning. Another is that strict parents yield children who are more self-disciplined and more self-reliant. The third is that the father’s job is to deliver rewards for “good” behavior and negative ...

Praise can motivate a person to make an extra effort in order to perform better in a task they are assigned to do (Fisher 204). As a child, while growing up, I received praise from my parents and teachers alike when I did well in my school work.

But one sad thing is that even with the praises, I always felt that ...

Cause and Effect of Gun Violence in America

INTRODUCTION Cultural and social problems attributed to gun violence have been a prevailing phenomenon for years. In a society where one could be fragile to the effects of cultural crackdowns and psychological breakdowns, guns have been a prevalent tool in addressing violent actions. Guns induce both violence and personal protection, but using it would likely trigger more instances of violence than self-defense. This is best illustrated in the series of school shooting tragedies that have gripped the whole nation and the world in fear for their safety and the saddening reality of the disintegration of society. However, despite the heated arguments ...

1. Meteors’ Hunting in the Antarctic Glaciers The Antarctica is a popular and unique area for finding meteors because of the extremely cold weather conditions in this area (Gonzalez). Scientists find meteorites easily in the Antarctica since the meteorites are frozen in glaciers. Moreover, these meteorites are well-preserved unlike those that fall on earth or the sea, where they are hidden among other objects. Identifying meteorites in glaciers is relatively easy. Since meteorites are dark, they are easily visible against an ice background. Moreover, many of them are preserved for years owing to the freezing temperatures of the ...

Chinese Economic Expansion and Increased Air Pollution

In recent years, China has been experiencing unprecedented economic growth. Chinese prosperity has had negative side-effects, including extreme environmental pollution (Wong, 2014). What researchers call “ambient particulate matter pollution” was the fourth-leading risk factor for deaths in China, contributing to 1.2 million deaths in 2010.

The Chinese government and other stakeholders have asserted that air pollution is decreasing and that the main culprits are not large industrial corporations. They point to strict regulations that they claim have been ...

Violence and Sex in Media and Pop Culture

Media and pop culture are full of sex and violence. It is impossible to turn on any television show, radio station, or video game without being confronted by something sexual or violent. While adults who have a different view of the world may be able to process these images more maturely, what is the impact that they have on teenagers? Are teenagers capable of viewing this risky behavior several times a day in the context of its being “cool” without it impacting their behavior, their interactions, or their future? Multiple studies suggest no, it cannot. Teenagers are incapable of taking in ...

Women in Media

Question One: How is the corporate culture of Gore different from other firms?

Gore’s corporate culture essentially differs from the other firms in terms of the managerial arrangement and structure. The privately owned company does not have the common corporate arrangement whereby the board of directors and the management exercise near absolute control of the organizational activities. Far from it, at Gore, the associates through functional teams make all the necessary decisions and the concept of teamwork is overboard. Indeed, Gore’s leaders do not struggle with strategy formulation and decision making. The corporate structure devolves all the strategic decision making to the associates. The leaders are appointment by their peers ...

Although there is a general consensus that there has been a steady increase in temperature ...

The United States of America is arguably one of the most complicated political systems. The federalist system essentially concentrates power and political leadership in two spheres. In essence, this creates two centers of power. This complicated structure has found its influence even in the judiciary. At the federal level, the appointment of the judges is a prerogative of the presidential albeit with the sanction of the Senate. However, with recent removal of the filibuster in the Senatorial voting rules, it can as well be argued that the presidency retains absolute control on the appointment of the federal judges. This paper ...

Since the invention of television, scholars and policymakers have debate the need to regulate certain kinds of content on television. Many worried that depictions of violence and sexuality on television might influence the attitudes and behavior of individuals, especially children, who watched the programs. Others argued that the fundamental right of freedom of speech required the government to stay out of the business of regulating television. Today, the majority of evidence suggests that violent media content does, in fact, contribute to violent behavior. The effects are small and difficult to detect, but many studies have provided evidence to support ...

Global Warming Myth

Global warming is one of the biggest threats facing humanity and it is vital to understand its history and the pieces of evidence that will support the theory (Maslin 17). Global warming has been in existence for more than one hundred years but it was only during the late 1980s that it has been taken seriously as a world issue. The delay in recognizing global warming threat is due to the power of the global average temperature data. The temperature can be determined by taking into account the land-air and sea-surface temperature. It was during 1940s to 1970s that the ...
