Explicitly we can come to the conclusion that such phenomena as political religion and religious politics, being based on the social religion, which creates common values for their supporters, affected the development of the American consciousness greatly as well as nowadays it does the same. It reflects the conservative form of state’s ruling with some features of collectivism, since it is mainly based on the protection of traditional family and other religious values, by sharing of which people are more likely to put all their efforts in order to defend everybody, who belongs to their group – from the ...

Juvenile offenders continue to make the news with their delinquent behaviors that are often disturbing to the natural balance of the order of the society. There is a growing concern with the number of juvenile crimes that is committed in the society at present and that the measures that are currently in place appear to be ineffective. Juveniles commit serious crimes that warrant greater punishment that the judiciary system metes out to these children. But advocates on children rights would argue that juveniles are not mentally developed to deal with the punishment that would suit the crimes that they ...

When some people think of Chinese people they think of a bucktooth, squinty eyed nerdy oriental with an accent who likely eats rice, which is an offensive stereotype. This is an example of the kinds of hateful stereotypes that exist in society. In social psychology, a stereotype is an attitude that can be adopted in regard to specific types of individuals or certain ways of doing things. These thoughts may influence one’s perception of reality. In my opinion, stereotypes may be split into three types; 1) race, 2) gender, and 3) appearance. We are all familiar with racism ...

The lecture is a distinct type of correspondence in which voice, motion, development, outward appearance, and eye contact can either supplement or take away from the substance. Likewise, it surely might incorporate question-and-response interaction between the lecturer and the listener. Also, lecturing is particularly valuable to pass on information, (Bloom et al., 1956). This can impart the characteristic enthusiasm of the topic if the speaker lets his or her excitement for the point appear. Moreover, lectures are likely the best showing technique for some listeners or students, mainly to communicate cognitive learning, and where there is meaningful information in ...

Among the short string of military generals under the auspices of Abraham Lincoln include George B. McClellan, Joseph Hooker, Ulysses S. Grant, and George G. Meade. Whether or not people agree with Abraham Lincoln’s ...

Learning to Know Your Answers before a Test

Knowing the answers to a test before you take it requires far more than cramming the night before. In fact, this is not learning at all, but memorizing and is one of the least effective ways to take a test (Ellis, 2013). Being ready to know the answers on a test involves having prepared for it from the beginning. Tests should never come as a surprise. When a student enrolls in a course of any kind, it is an easy leap of logic to presume some assessment of having mastered the material will occur at least once throughout the ...

A Comparative Study of Pragmatic Properties of the English and Chinese Language

Introduction Just like humans and knowledge, language is able to evolve. The question to consider is that are these changes good or bad? The establishment of a language take years to perfect and right now, no language in this world is flawless. Two best examples are two of the most spoken language in the world Chinese and English. Fact Monster (2014) uploaded a list of the most spoken language in the world, Chinese took the top spot with over 1,197,000,000 speakers around the world. English only came in third with 335,000,000 after Spanish. One ...

How do the ministers and authorities view sex between men in colonial New England?

We have to remember that ministers, to a large degree, set the law of the land. As such, the view that ministers and authorities in Colonial New England took towards sex between men was that such an action was deviant. Many laws during this time were actually sexual in nature, and sex between men was no exception. Ministers viewed such actions as being a direct threat to the social order of the day, and certain a violation of Puritan ideals. Sodomy was often viewed as one of the most, if not the most, severe of sexual crimes and could ...

E-learning, or distance learning as it has been linked to in the recent past, is swiftly taking over as a preferred method of instruction, and can be seen to be just as useful without the loss of educational content or the satisfaction of teaching. (Bhatti, Jones, Richardson, Foreman, Lund, Tierney, 2011) Through an evolution of education students and teachers alike have been able to free themselves from the busying schedules that come with traditional classrooms and hectic schedules that involve running from one classroom to the next. With e-learning the next class is only a click way, a convenience ...

Synesthesia is an event by which the prompting of one sense group gives stimulation to a sensation in another group. The term synesthesia according to Campen and Froger (2008), comes from the Greek terms syn that means together and aesthesis which means to perceive.1 At present, the most popular and widely known form of synesthesia is the hearing of vowels or music in color. Campen and Froger (2008) also add that the different types of synesthesia such as the sense of smell is stimulated by one or more senses such as hearing and sight.2 Color Synesthesia for one is ...

During the late 20th century, the USA was on two opposite sides. The New Right and The New Left. The New Right was another name for conservatism, and the New Left had counter-cultures, abortion, people in homosexual communities, and communism. The majority of the nation expected some change, and having a small government could be an answer to the problem. However, small governments had their own problems, and they ended up hurting the economy more. Conservatives attributed many issues to liberalism; for example, there was no relationship between AIDS and liberalism, but it was made an issue ...

The movie reveals the ferocity of racism and the underlying power of popular democracy. Segregation is the ugly face of a community that promotes violence. Living in a segregated society makes people develop fear and hatred that ultimately cause ...

An Examination of Style and Performance

Introduction Joseph Haydn may be the most underrated of all the great composers, especially when it comes to his piano music. Music students in every field, remain taught that Haydn is the “father of the Symphony.” It is this fact that keeps the student from seeking out, discovering, and delighting in his brilliant, often difficult, but worth the challenge of playing Haydn’s late keyboard compositions. Haydn’s major keyboard works are sonatas, generally representing his growth from his early years until 1794 with completion of his final three sonatas. According to Gordon (1996), Haydn often set the ...

If the question presented here was to determine which type of motivation is the most effective, then intrinsic motivation would win the challenge without a doubt. After reviewing the two articles, “Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivations: Classic Definitions and New Directions” and “Income, Motivation, And Satisfaction with Life: An Empirical Analysis” along with the TED talk given by Dan Pink called “The Puzzle of Motivation” that is the conclusion that I have come to. The need for internal satisfaction appears to be the most important force driving the actions of humans in the daily tasks of ...

In a lecture presented by Dr. Samuel Gregg of the Catholic University of America Washington, entitled, “How can Liberty and Solidarity Address the Problem of Crony Capitalism?” he sought to explain the dangers of crony capitalism and the possible solutions entrenched within the Catholic’s teachings on liberty and solidarity. Accordingly, he first defined the concept of crony capitalism. Afterwards, he emphasized the danger of such concept when it thrives in a nation’s economy. The main danger, according to Gregg, is that crony capitalism diminishes that create power of every individual in the society, by limiting the opportunity for free ...

1. The issue of immigration is a multi-faceted, controversial one. It encompasses issues such as cultural assimilation, human rights and dignity, law and justice, employment, as well as educational opportunities for host countries and migrant countries. For example, some people, like Jonathan Laurence, demand a secular absorption of Muslims -- an unconditional acceptance of their cultural norms by their host countries, and more tolerance for the rapidly-growing Muslim population in European countries. Laurence is an associate professor of political science at Boston College. Kofi Annan, United Nations' Secretary General on International Flows of Humanity, states that we need a more-balanced, conservative approach ...

Executive Summary

Several students make their way to lecture rooms every day to attend their lectures. These students are required to attend a given number of lectures for them to be considered for graduation. The students sign paper attendance sheets to confirm their attendance. The university staff has to compile the manual records for every student. This process is tedious and inefficient, and students can sign for one another hence not providing an accurate record on attendance. Introduction of the Fingerprint Time and Attendance recorder is an innovative way to keep accurate records on lecture attendance (Muhtahir, p.20).

In simple words, the institution of slavery is based on supremacy and obedience. Douglass has been able to successfully demonstrate the inhuman patriarchal relationship that a master and slave shared before the eighteenth century. In his lecture at Rochester (December 8, 1850), he discussed the inhumanity of slavery in a very broader sense, not just discussing his own experience but validated his point of view by referring to the laws that the slave states adopted in their laws. According to him, slavery was not kindness but cruel practices that did not have any parental warmth. Instead, the slave states practiced slavery ...

Immigrants contributed for the 37% growth of the United States of America population after the civil war (Bell, Kwesiga, & Berry 179). Millions over the last two centuries have migrated to the United States. This contributed to the technological and economic advancement of the region. The 19th century was however the most remarkable time of expanded immigration. The California gold rush saw numerous ethnicities abandon their villages in various regions of the world and entered America. In addition, after the civil war, slave trade was abolished therefore employment opportunities were very high (Lecture 7). While others came due the ...

Every group formed has different aspects to it (Merriam-Webster, 2012)and thus different groups exist for different reasons. But it is obvious and common knowledge that every group that exists, does so for a purpose which is the reason for the unity of the stated group. A group cannot be formed without a common purpose as randomly selected people have no reason to unite with others, unless it is for a common cause. Group theory studies the various groups that exist. Groups are usually a group of people or things that are together for a common purpose and reason and thus are together for a ...

Sheila is in the “Maintenance” state of change in this particular vignette. Why? (be specific) Sheila has already gone through the ‘departure’ of rehabilitation and moving towards maintenance, but is having trouble dealing with her particular cravings and urges (Reiman, lecture 8, 2015). Sheila is currently straying from her plan to change her behavior, and is beginning to consider entering the world of substance abuse out of necessity. Sheila admits that she has drug cravings still, but is unsure about what to do about them. This is a classic indicator of her maintenance status, as she is fully ...

Despite the many gains that African-Americans and other minorities have achieved in the last fifty years as a result of the Civil Rights Movement, there are still a vast number of issues that remain incredible struggles for blacks seeking equal treatment in the United States. One of those is the issue of education; despite initiatives such as affirmative action, minority scholarships and college prep programs, there are still systemic inequalities that take place within the US educational system. Investigating the concepts and ideas behind these issues and the efforts to change them (e.g. order theory), it is clear that many steps ...

1.1 Overview Quantum mechanics is a branch of Physics that deals with the behaviors of energy and matter in the smallest perspective such as the nuclear, atomic, and microscopic levels. Quantum, meaning “how much”, refers to the quantifiable units to energy and matter as observed and predicted through physics. This branch of studies stated with mathematical reasoning of certain experiments that are non-explainable through the classical mathematical methods.

Introduction

Communication is a way in which people try to share the meaning through the transmission of symbolic messages. Communication gives us the opportunity to influence others and ourselves, affect the behaviour of others and share experiences with others. Despite the fact that communication brings people together and help them to connect, it can also draw people apart due to the communication barriers. They include; role expectations, gender bias, emotion and attitude. A person who practices good communication skills should be emotive, that is, have a high sociability and high dominance. To be able to achieve high dominance and high sociability, one ...
