Herbert Blumer’s perspective on sociology explicitly follows the theory of symbolic interactionism, in which society interprets the actions and attitudes of individuals through symbols and images to which we ascribe a certain kind of importance. The basic nature of society is comprised of individuals interacting with each other socially, in which significance and meaning is determined by the individuals and their interaction. To that end, Blumer’s perspective on Campbell’s five parameters of social theory would be viewed through that singular lens, and would heavily inform the applicability and utility of each parameter through the perspective of ...

In the late 1700s, Immanuel Kant had his first attempt to investigate the ground from which human knowledge established certain limits by investigating the structures of the human mind. In Kant’s (1781) Critique of Pure Reason, he argued that knowledge does not just come from experience but also from impressions created from the faculty of knowledge or a priori, which is independent of all experience. Meanwhile, Kant’s theory of perception insists “imagination is a necessary ingredient of perception itself” (Kant, 1965, p.120). It appears therefore, that impressions tend to produce images through the receptive sensible capacities of ...

Documentary photography is often used as a synonym for photojournalism, and the documentarians are seen as a different species of the photographer. The idea of a film with a purpose and documentary character can be traced back to France (What Is Documentary Photography 2013). Documents were seen as a form of evidence to teach something or inform. However, even the most abstract photographic images carry an image. It is when a photograph is taken with the lens cap on to create a document of worth; one reaches an entirely different platform. Alfred Stieglitz and his photograph Steerage of 1907 ...

I. Introduction

In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock released the iconic film, Psycho, to an unsuspecting audience.

The film broke with narrative and cinematographic techniques that had been the Hollywood standard for decades. Produced and directed on a shoestring budget, the film garnered few positive reviews. However, it still stands as the most powerful influence on the suspense, and even horror, genre. Because Psycho debuted in 1960 (when theaters were much more popular), the film is best analyzed through the lens of mass communication theory. In James Kendrick's "Psycho and the Priming of the Audience", it is argued that the mass communication model is most effective at informing an astute analysis of the film. ...

Sometimes reality is not an effective medium by which to view the world. In such instances the human eye often looks beyond what is seen in order to reveal what is hidden in plain view, behind the known and mundane aspects that the world has to offer. In those moments it becomes obvious that no matter how mundane a thing is, no matter how commonplace it might seem, there is always something to be seen in the breaths between one click of the camera to the next. There is beauty throughout all aspects of the world, all one needs ...

I. Introduction Since the formation of the state of Kosovo, there have been disputes about the legitimacy of the state—some do not recognize the international legitimacy of this state to the current day. Kosovo faces a number of issues that are inherited from its long history of conflict; one of the key problems faced by the country and the future leadership of the country is the problem of security. Because of the conflicted nature of the territory, Kosovo faces significant internal and external pressures (Alexander 14-19; Shaw and Štiks 91). The entire region is war-torn, and this conflict ...

Southern Criminology is a contemporary perspective in criminology and criminal justice that encompasses criminal and law enforcement practices of the Global South. However, it is not new, as it derives from the century-long practices of colonization, oppression, and ignorance of the global periphery. With all of its peculiarities, terms, and features, the concept of southern criminology is initially about raising questions on the epistemology of criminal justice in a contemporary highly diverse and globalized environment. It is about the use and establishment of power relations in the production of criminological knowledge (Carrington, et al., 2017). On the other hand, southern criminology ...

Question 1: International relations mainstream theories

The contribution of post modernism to the field of international relations has been far-reaching. The major element of this approach is the criticism to Marxism. It takes various strands of thinking and among them is the constructivist which is based on the philosophy of constructivism being applied in social settings. The theory talks about what it means to say that something is socially constructed. It illustrates social beliefs and facts that seem to have some sense of reality in them. But in reality, these social beliefs would function for individuals as I they ...

Abstract

The Future of computing lies in the development of smaller, low-powered solutions coupled with unlimited cloud services. Smartphones are becoming powerful enough to run desktop applications while tablets are replacing personal computers such as laptops. Intel’s 3D transistors are the reason for this technology shift.

In the same breadth, Moore’s law is applicable in solar devices. Given the high cost of energy, firms have been shifting to green energy in a bid to minimize operational costs. One such establishment that generates energy from solar is Semprius. Based on size, Semprius designs and manufactures the world’s smallest ...

As an individual, I have always believed that independence and self-sufficiency are important. In all roles I play whether as a daughter, a student, a friend, or an employee, I have always placed high value on autonomy and rationality in my daily life as I pushed for equality and a life guided by wisdom and understanding. These values that I consider vital for my existence have helped me recognize infringements in ethics especially since I am always beset with ethical decisions during my daily exchanges with people I encounter every day. According to the Ethical Lens Inventory (ELI), I ...

Introduction

Marfan syndrome is named after the French paediatrician Antoine Marfan, who first described the condition in 1896 after observing the outstanding features in a five-year-old girl. The gene linked to the disease was first identified by Francesco Ramirez at the Mount Sinai Medical Centre in New York City in 1991 (Katarina et al, 1990). Marfan syndrome is an inherited disorder that harms the body’s connective tissue such as blood vessels and capillaries. This tissue holds all the body’s cells, organs and tissue collectively. It as well plays an important role in allowance of the development of the human ...

The history of glass can be traced back to 3500 BC in Mesopotamia and the first jar made of glass was made in 3000BC. The first historical archaeological evidence of glass was discovered in ancient Egypt along the Mediterranean coast where it is estimated that that the first glass like object was discovered from the slug waste that was used from extracting metals. Indigenous production of glass progressed commercially in 1730 BC, and in Ancient China took out late as compared to metalwork and ceramics. It later took a giant production root that saw it to become among the leading ...

A comprehensive understanding of the term theoretical lens is first attained by breaking the subject into two; theory and lens. Prevalently, a theory is a set of words or ideas put forth to elucidate or rather reveal the existence of a phenomenon. In this context, the theory is used to explain cultural perspective in a given subject, child development. Conversely, a lens from a lay’s perspective is a transparent object used to view or magnify the given object, thereby enabling the user, to ascertain a clear understanding of the viewed material. However, from the literature perspective, a lens is an instrument that enables people in a society to ...

Question 1

The vernal equinox occurs in March when the sun appears to be crossing the celestial equator. During this time, the sun is usually heading north. The autumnal equinox occurs in September when the sun crosses the equator as it moves towards the South Pole. On these days, the sun is directly over the equator. This results in equal durations of day and night.

The solstices occur when the earth is at its farthest distance from the sun. It occurs due to the elliptical shape of the earth’s orbit around the sun. This means that there are two solstices ...

The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis is the ideal that people view and understand the world through the lens of language (Macionis, 2011). One way in which language can affect how we see the world culturally is sentence order. Many languages express themselves differently, placing a different importance upon nouns, verbs, etc. For instance, in English sentence order typically subject, verb, object while Japanese is subject, object, verb and Welsh is verb, subject, and object (Plato.stanford.edu, 2015). Each language places a different importance on the subject; this may be a reflection on the importance placed upon the subject in the actual culture. Language is ...

Light is reflected from surfaces of all the items, and that reflected light is collected by the eye. The light enters the eye through the lens that focuses the light on the back of the eyeball. The pictorial nature of the image is then converted into electrical signals that the eye sends to brain where the signals are interpreted. Lens contracts and expands in absence and presence of light to adjust the light that enters the eye.

A1. A negative perception of Thomas Randall and his friends may have shaped Helen Brook’s perceptual lens. She lives downstairs from the defendant and they continually bother her with her parties; she says they “tend to be noisy and keep late hours”. The day of the incident, they were having one of these parties and she alleges the ceiling was shaking, not allowing her to rest. All of this may lower her credibility, as her perception is obviously not objective. She might have resentment from past disputes, as well as differing with her neighbors about how to ...

Description of Wheatley’s Essay

Margaret Wheatley’s Essay “Innovation Means Relying on Everyone’s Creativity” has two central points guiding a wealth of practical knowledge on organizational leadership gained through her experiences. The first is that organizations act in the same way as living organism. The whole of the organization can be seen as a species that will change according to alterations to environmental conditions. The second part of her thesis is “People only support what they create” (Wheatley, 2001). This means that in order to get support for new policies or changes to the organization, everyone within the organization must play a role in enacting ...

Introduction

Qualitative research, as defined by Thomas from the book of Sampa (2012), “involves gathering and interpreting information from the viewpoint of kinds of objects, ideas, or events” (as cited in Sampa, 2012, p.5). Qualitative research has five approaches, which are narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study. Each design should be anchored to a theory in order for the progress of a research to be guided. According to Creswell (2009), in qualitative research, a theory acts as a lens for understanding the study, although it may also be formulated during or after the study.

Implication of Theory in the Five Approaches

Phenomenology This type of approach, as ...

Stigma and discrimination continue to be a problem in society, especially when it comes to issues of same-sex marriages. Same sex marriages, even if they are acceptable by law have not been fully embraced by the society. The situation is made worse when it comes to handling older adults who fall under the category of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT). These older adults have for the longest time experienced disparities on matters of health, more especially in the areas of access to health care, mental health, HIV/AIDS as well as chronic physical conditions. There is a wide range of physical ...

The observation is a study of altruistic behavior of adults toward strangers. One goal in the study is to determine if the presence of an audience motivates a person to be charitable. Hudson and Bruckman (2004) theorized an individual of a particular personality will respond more to the opportunity to participate in a charitable contribution if others are aware of the donation. This may be evidenced in a donation when the plate is passed n church when a person feels others are watching. Some religious organizations include an envelope to conceal the amount of the donation. In this way, the individual is acknowledged as donating ...

Cataract is derived from Greek and Latin word which means ‘to fall down’ or ‘waterfall’. The human eye lens is naturally crystalline. Cataract is any opacity to this natural crystalline lens. It causes visual loss and blindness in humans, other mammals and birds. Generally, visual loss from cataract other than from trauma is gradual and painless. The etiology of cataract can be any injury or trauma to the lens, including contusion injury, inflammation within the eye or uveitis, metabolic conditions like diabetes mellitus, intraocular diseases like retinal detachment, and intraocular tumors like melanoma, retinoblastoma or congenital factors. ...

Romero tells similar stories in his first zombie film Night of the Living Dead (1968) and his two later films Day of the Dead (1985) and Diary of the Dead (2007). But the approach Romero uses in each film varies. ‘The Night of the Living Dead’ and ‘The Day of the Dead’ use a standard movie narrative while Diary of the Dead incorporates found footage or point of view (POV) techniques popularized by The Blair Witch Project and used to varying success in films such as Quarantine, Area 5.1, and Cloverdale. Romero uses this technique to criticize the prevalence of ...

A picture is worth a thousand words, definitely pictures can express human thoughts, emotions and dreams that can never be uttered by the lips. Back then, people can record physical appearance and historical events through paintings. On the other hand, a Frenchman named Joseph Niepce took the first permanent photograph in 1827 (Madgwick, 28). Photography made it easier for people to record history without resorting to paint the entire scenery that they see. Rich men and women, especially those who belong to the aristocracy choose photography for their personal portraits; adding a touch of modernism to their noble countenance. In short, the ...

“Casablanca” by Michael Curtiz is an anti-Nazi film based on the play. The romantic drama of 1942 starring Ingrid Bergman represents an outstanding example of interesting methods in cinematography. “Casablanca” is a black and white film with high-key lighting and mostly deep focus (except for the close-up scenes with the main characters where shallow focus is used). To make the eyes of the main female character sparkle, the director used softening gauze filter and catch lights. This method gave the effect of the nostalgic and sad glance. The director uses normal lens, so the perspective is normal and the focal ...

During Italian Renaissance the promotion of cultural and artistic patronage responded directly to specific needs of the Court as a new institution. Small regional states emerged from the fragmentation of the communal and feudal regime as a new political subject directly delegated by a higher authority such as the imperator or that the pope. Because of this structural nature of their power, the Italian princes were constantly looking for support, justification and recognition, both inside and especially outside of the boundaries of the territory ruled. In fact, the political activity of a prince would not existed without a specific focus on artistic and ...

Cinema, as André Bazin has noted has its own ontology of being both an objective representation of reality seeing through the subjective lens of the preserved image. It has a unique way of both representing reality, by preserving life through a representation of life (Bazin 2004, p. 10). Filmmakers not only communicate ...

1. Introduction to the Technique Magnification and high resolution imaging are very important in materials science, especially at present when nanotechnology materials are being created. Magnification and high resolution imaging can help in the characterization, identification, and confirmation of the existence of the desired material. Magnification and high resolution imaging become problems when the size of the assessed material becomes too small; such as, they are beyond the micrometer scale. Ordinary techniques in microscopy such as light microscopy where in a traditional light microscope is used could not suffice. Fortunately, in 1931, two scientists named Ernst Ruska and Mx ...

Analytical methods to evaluate seed dormancy in legumes

Abstract Legumes are known to have multiple health benefits. The seed coat in particular contains a number of bioactive compounds which possess antioxidant activity. Of great interest is the relationship between the chemical composition of the seed coat and its role in seed dormancy. Modern technological approaches are currently used to further identify these compounds and determine their role in seed development; these include NRIS FTIR, mass spectroscopy, electron microscopy and chromatography. The following review describes the constituents of the legume seed coat and their respective roles in dormancy and other stages of seed development. The review also highlights ...

America has a poverty problem, but it is a problem that it is reluctant to admit to. As the research that will be cited in this reflection shows, it is a growing problem. Part of the ideals that define America is the idea that anyone who works hard can be prosperous. Barbara Enrenreich’s experience working jobs with the working poor suggest that the hard work they must do to survive is so demoralizing, that it will become difficult to see jobs available to the working poor as anything other than poverty traps. Charles Murray in his article “The New American Divide” ...

Children are the most defenseless victims of poverty within a society. Poverty has a number of causes, but it’s effect on children is the perpetuation of what is known as a vicious cycle of poverty where kids of a certain economically disadvantages lineage go on to have few opportunities as adults. Research has shown that their children get caught in the same poverty trap and the causes of poverty then go on to have the effect of producing more impoverished children. From a long view, one of these effects is that a society becomes disadvantaged because it has a portion of its population living in ...

Jacques Derrida was obsessed with the dead, especially in regards to how their symbolic value was affected by the living. Throughout his exploration of ‘hauntology,’ which was basically a fascination with the idea of the ghost as something being both existent and nonexistent. This is mostly related to history, where the past is what we use to define the present, which is conditional upon the existence of the past. Connecting this idea of hauntology to deconstruction, hauntology then becomes a tool of deconstruction – a specific lens you can use to break down the ideas of Western thinking. Culturally, the idea of ghosts ...

Optical microscopy – is the technical field of studying objects using optical microscopes. Optical microscopes are devices that use visible light rays as both eye works in the optical wavelength range. So, optical microscopes could not have diffraction limits resolution less than 0.2 micrometers (200 nanometers) and with maximum magnification up to 2000 times. The human eye is a biological optical system, characterized by a certain resolution - the smallest distance between the elements of the observed object, while they can still be distinguished from one another. For a normal eye, at a distance from the object to the so-called. best vision distance (D = ...

Discuss Chromatic aberration in a lens.

- Introduction Chromatic Aberration is an optical issue which occurs when a lens either focuses wavelengths at different positions in the focal plane or cannot converge all wavelengths of color to the same focal plane. It is caused by dispersions of the lens, with different wavelengths of light passing through the lens at different speed. Consequently, the image appears blurred or may have noticeable colored edges (Smith, 20). - Main Body A perfect lens would direct all light wavelengths into one focal point. In real situations, each wavelength has different refractive index in lenses, hence resulting into ...
