However, agnostics and others claim that everything that happens has been, and will not be anything new. They argue that different things occur in different times, but in most instances, nothing new ...

Indeed, this statement aptly captures the fact that the people (citizenry) are a central pillar in any democratic system.

My grandmother is probably the most loving person in my life. She had a heart full of love for all the world and even those that had hurt her, would always find shelter, should they need her help. I could not understand how she could be THAT forgiving, but perhaps that was her gift. Maybe she had done her self-criticism and found out the true meaning of life, when the rest of us were struggling to find who we really are. She would go to the church every Sunday and pray for those in need. A distinguishing trait in my ...

“What if”. Two words, six letters. Alone they mean nothing, combined and they form one of the heaviest phrases to start a sentence with. In this case however, starting the story with what if may have been better. Everyone who’s read the story of Macbeth knows exactly what happens; a good man is corrupted by the lust of power, armed with the knowledge of the future and urged by the whispers of his wife into rushing headlong into the unknown and ends up fulfilling all of his dreams, never realizing that nightmares are dreams too . The tragedy of Macbeth ...

In both The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien and “Janus” by Ann Beattie, the main characters are burdened by the things ...

Toni Morrison’s Beloved: a slave narrative as social history and as a possible rewriting and criticism of 18th century Age of Enlightenment

We live in a land where the past is always erased and America is the innocent future in which immigrants can come and start over, where the slate is clean. The past is absent or romanticized. This culture doesn’t encourage dwelling on, let alone coming to terms with, the truth about the past. For Morrison, the past is not a thing or an experience. It is a life that is always present. This idea is, indeed, reflected in her ...

The Federal Controlled Substances Act, 1970 classifies Cannabis Sativa under schedule one substance. The latter refers to substances or compounds that are not acceptable for medicinal value. The Federal Controlled Substances Act provides that the intake of cannabis has several negative consequences to the human body. The intake of cannabis leads to loss of memory among the substance users; smokers tend to have temporary memories or short term memories or tend to forget minor chores in their daily schedules. The users lack coordination, proper judgment abilities, and result to being non-decision makers from the dullness and slowness of the ...

1. Linguistics is an interesting and objective study. It is useful in Anthropology as well as the study of other cultures because it does not only focus on communication. Linguistics is mainly the study of the meaning of different languages as well as their roots. This area of study is also used to study how language affects people in a physiological way. This aids in the field of Anthropology which is concerned with human biology and development. The specific branch of Anthropology which involves Linguistics studies humans through their speech as well as the languages that they know. This field ...

Abstract The struggle of reading comprehension has been pervasive around the world for centuries; it is of no surprise how even current statistics illustrate how many adults have difficulty reading and comprehending the most basic literature. As well-intentioned as well-crafted learning models have been launched to bridge the gap between low and high comprehending participants, the root of the problem stems from repeated modeling to students of diverse generations. Although some learning models have proven to be useful, new or rebooted models are sometimes necessary for younger students understanding elements of vocabulary, fluency, and background knowledge for reading ...

- Why is it helpful for human service professionals to understand how a client views the world using one of the mentioned cognitive processes? It is important for human services professionals to understand different ways of thinking in order for them to offer effective services that address the specific needs of different individuals. For instance, relativists view the world as lacking absolute truths or validities and that all values vary depending on perceptions and as such all values are applicable in limited contexts (Mérő & Mészáros, 1990). In other words, an understanding of how ...

Rapp and Kurby (n. d. as cited in Gilbert, 2008, p. 25) define visualization as “any form of physical presentation designed to make an abstract concept visible”. It usually entails focusing of attention on an imagined or real object. It involves cognitive brain processes. The concept has wide application in fields such as psychology and education. In this paper, I will evaluate my feelings of a visualization experience and describe what can be learnt from such an experience. In my case, I found visualization to be a valuable and insightful experience. Imagination of relaxed and positive situations evoked actual physical ...

Learning disabilities refer to an assortment of disorders which are usually evidenced by pertinent difficulties in attainment of educational knowledge. This can be manifested through complexities in; reading, listening, writing, speaking or reasoning. Learning disabilities can be classified into various categories based on the information processing ability of the students. Some students may experience difficulties in the input and synthesis of information. Whereas others may find it difficult to integrate and interpret the information given. Consequently, some students may have disabilities in the storage of educational information thus they find it difficult to memorize what is taught in class ( ...

There are various situations and events in life which people are able to recall in a particular time while there are other cases when people will completely forget particular events no matter how important they could have been. For instance, in an attempt to test the memory of different types of people, they may be asked to list the names of the kids who they studied in preschool and most people will have difficulties remembering all of them. This means that the ability of a person to store and retrieve information is influenced by short and long memory as described in ...

Arguably, memory is one of the elementary mental processes. As a matter of fact, Neuroscientists use diverse strategies to study the process, and demonstrate the link between memory and learning. Memory refers to the process of storing information in the brain for a long time. In fact, there is a connection between memory and learning; in that memory is one of the crucial concepts of learning. It is very difficult to imagine an individual trying to learn without the process of memorizing. Hence, as a process, memory entails a dynamic mechanism that is associated with retrieval and retention of information about the past experience. ...

One important aspect of the educational system is having student commit to memory large amounts of information. This being the case, when studying human experimental psychology, learning and memory have always been central topics for exploration. Human memory research has focused on retention over the past 30 years. The role that metacognitive processes have in retention are essential in understanding the processes of learning and memory. This includes the basis for predictions and subsequent retention and the control processes that determine what material requires further study. Students need to make decisions about which information they need to spend time ...

Sigmund Freud was born in the year 1856, in Freiberg. As a matter of fact, Freud was tremendously to be the founder of psychoanalysis and Australian neurologist. Sigmund Freud is credited for various issues in the world, especially developing a new approach on issues pertaining human personality. In fact, Sigmund Freud is believed to be one of the controversial and influential minds in the 20th century. In general perspective, Sigmund Freud is among the trailblazers of the modern psychology. Sigmund in his work distinguished himself from other psychologist due to his intellectual mind. He became the pioneer of the new strategies ...

The much-publicized quality issues caused massive damage to Toyota’s legendary image which resulted to various management crisis. How could this crisis happen to a world- class automaker? Analyst believed that the Japanese secretive corporate culture is a stumbling block in managing corporate issues. In a traditional Japanese culture, business is usually run by corporate leaders who are treated like powerful rulers and are not subject to admit mistakes in public. Employees are hesitant to relay any critical information to their superiors for fear of rejection. Toyota has a strong corporate culture as seen in their continuous drive for innovation to produce world-class and ...

At first, there was the constant supply of staple food courtesy of our ever-present big brother and helpers of the house. Every day, we were all of us dependent on whichever meal our mother had brought home or cooked for us. The necessity of food in our humble abode came only during dinner time when all have come from a day’s work or school. To be honest, none of us regarded cooking rice as a mandatory passage to independence. We all thought, “Rice in a rice cooker? Too easy!” A couple of months after, there came the change of schedules. ...

Plagiarism entails the theft of intellectual resources and property, or misuse of the same; giving inadequate citation of borrowed information is also considered plagiarism (Sunderland, 2004). This has led to the development of software packages to combat the same. Plagiarism has a detrimental impact on the quality of education as well as the value of originality an innovation. Plagiarism can be avoided if the students have a clear understanding of what plagiarism entails. This is because a student may be accused of plagiarism, while the real problem is that he/she doesn’t know how to cite her work. This creates gaps in ...

Every human being has five external senses, namely hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch (Bos and Read). These five sensory inputs determine how we interpret and understand the world we live in. We can define sensory perception as the process in which we use these five senses to receive stimuli, interpret and organize them in order to understand the meaning the environment around us. It is because of sensory perceptions that we are aware of our immediate surrounding by interpreting sensory information for survival purposes (Brewer, 2002). Personally, I believe that sensory information is not accurately interpreted by ...

Although rare, multiple personality disorder is a disorder that can be diagnosed only by a psychiatrist or psychologist. An individual with this disorder has two or more different personalities. The behavior exhibited by the individual at any given time is decided by the dominant personality at that time. Most often, each personality is unaware that the other personality or personalities exist. The change between the personalities often occurs in an abrupt manner. Each personality usually has a normal mental condition. Many individuals with multiple personality disorder (MPD) are victims of child abuse. The most common form of treatment is psychotherapy (Multiple, 2010). ...

In his treatise entitled “Meta-atheism: Religious Avowal as Self-Deception,” Georges Rey outlines in quite clear terms his rationale for doubting the true existence of theists and of the possibility that thinking, educated people could harbor an innate belief in the existence of God. Rey’s strongest arguments are evidentiary in nature. In other words, the absence of any clear, objective evidence that God exists establishes a strong foundation upon which to base the contention that there is no such being. As such, Rey contends that “the reasons for atheism are obvious, and not dependent on subtle metaphysics or sophisticated theories of ...

The focus of this study was to explore a Black woman’s resiliency after her exposure to a physiological and psychological toxic work environment. The work environment surrounding an African-American woman can often be a source of distress because of the way her colleagues and others treat her. For example, many Black women are treated as if they are a stereotype; a caricature of what people assume is a “black woman.” Micro-aggressions experienced each day become magnified as emotional assaults on the woman increase; or, as her ability to deflect the inappropriate behavior decreases or as the intensity of both becomes greater. The stereotyping and ...

Hello there. I hope this finds you well and radiant with life. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on opening the new chapter of your lives. I know that it is a time of great joy and a sense of fulfillment. I am also sure that you would like matters to remain as they are now. However, it is my responsibility to inform you that life is not a bed of roses. As you both understand, life has changed from now on. Each one of you is now a part of the other and owes the other an explanation on ...

Human psychology is diverse when it comes to the process of information capturing the attention of a human mind. This is mainly because it is evident that some things are able to capture our attention while others do not capture it. This phenomenon is referred to as unintentional blindness. There are number of factors that shape what captures a person’s attention. It is pertinent to note that all the factors that will be discussed are based on the visual attractiveness of the factor to the human brain. The main factor that affects attention is conspicuity of the information being ...

Time is a powerful thing. Be it knowledge and experience or insight, all undergo significant changes with time. However, it depends on the individual to choose the direction and nature of growth. I have hated corruption and violence since I was a child. Such immoral practices are worth avoiding no matter which era you live in. But yes, our mind changes with time and we think differently about why these evils exist. And how to fight evils also changes with time. In childhood, one usually expresses his/her thoughts regarding the important political or spiritual issues in front of others with confidence. ...

The article of Angeles F. Estevez "Improving Delayed Face Recognition in Alzheimer’s Disease by Differential Outcomes" contains the analysis and the description of an experiment that was constructed and carried out in order to find out whether the differential outcomes procedure (DOP) will affect the results of the patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) completing a delayed matching-to-sample task. For the accuracy of the experiment the participants were divided into two groups, eight people in each. The first group contained AD patients in phase 4 of Reisberg's deterioration scale, the second group were healthy controls (HC). The main purpose of ...

1. For Each Esctatic Instant by Emily Dickenson. The main theme of this poem is depicting the joy and pain or suffering that comes afterwards. Whatever can make a man happy, he or she will pay its bitter price for the moment. Dickenson describes that the joy and the suffering are not equal in time: joy is a moment and unhappiness can last for years. Probably, author shows us that there is a balance between good and evil in the world, that everything has its price. However, the pain makes us more sensitive to happiness, makes us appreciate these short but ...

Computer virus is the software which damages data, programs or the computer itself. It is a concealed program which can contaminate other programs by modifying them and causes data loss. It gets attached to other software and runs secretly every time the host program is executed. The virus replicates itself within a computer system. Some viruses hidden in the computer can infect the computer at a particular time called time bomb viruses.

Computer viruses first came forth in the 1980s due to a number of factors, such as, the increase in personal computers, the utilization of computer bulletin boards, the floppy disk, and ...

The educational system in Saudi Arabia is under the control of the government. It has given priority funding to education which accounts for 23% of the national budget and 7.5% of the GNP. Over the years, the education system has evolved in incorporating subjects that equip students with the knowledge that they require to actively participate in nation building.

The education system has embraced certain aspects in preparing the students to face the outside world. It is diversified both geographically and in terms of the subjects covered in school. As opposed to the past, the system emphasizes vocational training, ...

Many people observe subtle changes within their cognitive capabilities as they become older. As a result, it might take longer when thinking about a problem or making a calculation because the memory might be affected (Wood, Wood & Boyd, 2005). There are reports that older adults tend to have increasing difficulty when it comes to short-term memory like being forgetful of where they placed their car keys. Although these changes happen to some level in almost everyone, they do not necessarily mean a grave medical condition like Alzheimer's disease (Wood et al., 2005). In line with these cognitive changes are are physical changes, which ...

Henry’s boots in the story is a symbol of war and the dark memories it has on the soldier. Despite the fact that the war was over, Henry could not stop wearing his boots, this implied that he still held on to the lifestyle and the memories that the war had on him (Erdrich 464). This implies that that a change in lifestyle such as being deployed on a war assignment has the ability of affecting a person’s life permanently. This is most probably because of the traumatic experiences and the fact that the soldiers are made to engage in activities ...

I remember enjoying reading all the way back to the days when I was in middle school. My favorite form of literature at that time was the short story. I’m not sure if it was the brevity of the story that I liked, or just that I could read the entire story in one sitting, but either way, it is the short story that really cemented my love of reading long ago, something that I still enjoy today. My interest in short stories continued into high school. When I was taking a writing class I was encouraged by ...

When thinking about an elderly person, the first thing that would perhaps come to most people’s mind is someone sitting on a rocking chair or in front of a television set. It is a popular belief that the older generation is not capable of doing much and, therefore, it is very difficult to work with them. The paper attempts to analyse the stereotypes associated with aging and various physical and mental issues associated with aging.

The paper is broadly divided into five sections. The first section discusses the stereotypes about aging. The second section talks about the physical issues associated with ...

I first became fascinated with the story of the Titanic when I was ten years old in 1997 and saw the movie, although later I learned that Cal Hockley, Rose DeWitt and Jack Dawson never really existed at all. It would have been nice if they had, but at least the movie inspired me to start reading books about what really happened on that fatal voyage in 1912, starting with Walter Lord’s A Night to Remember. Over time, I learned many details, such as the fact that Thomas Andrews, the architect and designer of the ship, really existed ...

Against the background of various revolutions taking place in different parts of the world, some of them being for ideological or political values, while other leading to scientific and technological development. But one of them stands alone and is not discussed often. It was initiated not by the hands of politicians or class antagonists. It did not lead to slaughter and caused no progress in the world of new technologies. Quietly walking barefoot, tinkling bells, beading and plunging in nirvana, the floral revolution introduced the world of hippies. Along with them it changed the mind and worldview of future ...

Dear Mayor and Dear Counselors, We live in the 21st century, the age of speed, of technological breakthrough, of continuous innovation and outstanding gadgets meant to improve our lives and make them more dynamic and more fun. This is all good, it represents a good aspect for the development of our lifestyle and for easing our existence as a species, facilitating the progress. The fact that society is orienting towards this direction worldwide creates the feeling of a global innovation driven village, wherein people quickly develop common interest for the same aspects, when it comes to new gadgets, new features in ...

The brain forms an integral part of learning which reflects on the ability of different people to grasp and memorize information. Apart from other skills that people have to learn, there is the language, which is vital for communication. In an environment where learning a second language has been considered vital for each individual, strategies are being pit in place to ensure that such a process is accomplished without much strain (Sousa, 2006). This has led to a series of studies and researches to identify the role of the brain in learning a second language what makes people to grasp a second language at ...

Vagina monologues bring together several monologues given by different women. Previously, it was Eve Ensler’s task to perform each of these monologues by her. However, what followed her single performance were performances by three actresses. Now, Vagina monologues are staged with every role assigned to a different actress. One distinct feature is that there is a relationship between every monologue with the vagina. This occurs through orgasm, birth, masturbation, female genital mutilation, menstruation, rape, love, sex, various vaginal names or physical appearance of the body. Throughout the performance, the theme that never ceases recurring is that in which the vagina ...

Idea density means the number of logical statements in a given sample of communication or text. Arithmetically means the number of ideas conveyed per ten words in the last sentence of every autobiography. The ideas corresponds to basic predicates, typically adjectives, adverbs, verbs, noun and clause conjunctions. Propositions may turn to be true or false depending on mental ability of an individual. The ideas are considered to be true and vice versa when the text is written with no logical contradictions to the topic and in agreement with the context. For successful retrieval of information, the facts provided must match ...

Keepass would be useful especially for a person who prefers using simple password because he is prone to forget those passwords. Using keepass will give the user an option of using strong passwords with his accounts because he just needs to install this program in his system and then there is no need to memorize those passwords. One advantage of using keepass is that even if your data is saved in a database, the passwords stored are encrypted although the user names are not. One problem with using keepass though is that someone may open your accounts when they use your computer ...

Garcia, I. (2005). “Long term memories: Trados and TM turn 20.” The Journal of Specialised Translation, (4), 18-31. [Summary]

Dubbed “Long-term memories: Trados and TM turn 20” with Ignacio Garcia as the author, the article examines the contribution of Trados in the development of Translation Memory (TM) with the help of information gathered from the Trados websites, as well as informed opinions from people interested in the topic. The article furthers attests that the push for the development of Translation Memory eXchange (TMX) will serve to tilt the balance; an attestation that is then followed by the author expressing ...

Journal writing definitely acts as a tool for self therapy, according to Dr. N. Gadesden (2000): As you engage the written word throughout the learning self-therapy through writing series, you will develop effective methods to not only recognize feelings such as anger, pain, abandonment, grief and even happiness ~ you will also learn to define, examine and manage those and other feelings”. Self-therapy through writing makes one believe that he is in charge of his own life and he is the responsible one to control his actions towards a certain situation. (p. 1) Other than self- therapy, journal writing ...

RAM or Random Access Memory represents a computer read/write memory for data storage. Usually RAM is a volatile storage, where data is lost as soon as the power is disconnected from the computer. It is a temporary data storage for program and system instructions, as well as for the data which is to be processed. Thus, CPU transfers all the data from the long-term memory into RAM and accesses it from there. Moreover, all the new data is first created in RAM and then transferred into the permanent storage devices (Soper 37).

RAM can be subdivided into two main types: static and ...

Steinback’s novella Of Men and Mice is set in a grim economic dystopia of migrant workers on a Californian ranch where the two protagonists Lennie and George share the dream owning their own farm someday despite the meagre conditions they were subject to. The novella has been applauded as well as criticized for its staunch realism or what was portrayed as realism in cases of excessive sentimentality. In this paper, we shall compare and contrast the two main characters of Lennie and George in order to reflect on a theme that is relevant for each and every one of Steinback’s ...

Business Government and Society Moral Intelligence Development Paper Upon completion of the Moral Competency Inventory (Lennick & Kiel, 2007) I discovered that there are several competencies that dominate my moral image. When I thought about one competency to choose so as to describe it is this paper, I decided to pick up the one that is the most important from my point of view. I can but say that it turned out to be really hard, as all the competencies are extremely important in life and should be paid proper attention and developed as soon as possible. After I ...

There are five principles of verbal communication and a further five for nonverbal communication. These principles are important for the sender and receiver to achieve effective communication and establish a shared understanding (Cheesebro, O’Connor & Rios, 2010).

The first principle of verbal communication is to recognize that all languages have value. There is no language that is better than the other in terms of logic, ability to convey thought or complexity.

The second principle is to understand that everyone speaks a dialect. A dialect is a regional variation of language. It includes unique pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. Despite the differences in dialects, ...

Learning is a language based activity, and therefore it calls for a high level of proficiency in vocabulary. It is therefore imperative for students to have an understanding of the words that their teachers or instructors use, otherwise there will be no communication taking place. There are different variations of vocabulary and terminologies used to understand it better. A student, for instance, can engage in contextual analysis in an attempt to decipher the meaning of a word based on the context in which it is found. Expressive vocabulary is more complex since it calls for the speaker to identify a particular meaning for a ...

Intuition plays a role, big or small, in many of the decisions made by humans in their day to day life. Intuition is on the subconscious end of reasoning and is thus inexplicable in normal logical terms many a times. The very definition of the term ‘intuition’ says that it is the “knowledge acquired from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning”. This is why intuition is regarded an activity of the right side of the brain and is said to play a good part in developing aesthetic nature in man. It is thus, easy to see, how intuition plays a role in many ...

This old house- the heart is a lonely place menagerie by David Sedaris is a subgenre unique in that it takes place exclusively in the human setting. It resembles a genre that relies on supernatural, ironic, or unusual events to guide the plot. It is unlike its parent genre in that it uses these tools not solely for the sake of suspense, but to explore social issues and reveal the cultural character of the personalities involved. The style employs the use of macabre and ironic events to examine the virtues of the relevant victims.

The character mentioned above lives a hard and he' ...

The Stroop effect involves demonstrating a longer reaction time inherent in performing a more complicated task. The effects of conflict processing on reaction time is thought to be significant; the higher the level of conflict processing, the longer it takes for someone to react to that conflict. The current study measures response times based on four different exercises involving the reading of numbers and row length. The third exercise includes two levels of complexity (counting and number identification), as opposed to a single level of complexity with the remaining exercises. Eight pairs of subjects are tested for reaction time based on these ...

Vision, the window through which we assess and adjust our reality, is a filter affected by passion, memory, circumstances and other factors. James Elkins argues that the act of seeing is more than a simple matter of mechanical motor functioning. It is, in fact, a metamorphic phenomenon that continually re-creates identity. Elkins’ The Object Stares Back: On the Nature of Seeing is an impressively ambitious attempt to analyze a massive yet thought-provoking subject.

Jonathan Swift’s pithy comment on vision is an apt but obtuse observation about the interplay between the eyes and the brain, the transmission of data and consequent interpretation resulting ...

With your permission I will begin. Today I would like to talk to you about intelligence. During my presentation we will talk about the basic definition of intelligence. We will take a quick glance at old and contemporary intelligence theories and compare the two. Then some intelligence test will be discussed and we will learn the difference between a bad and a good intelligence test. Lets begin.

A compliment which will be appreciated all around the world is “you are smart”. The opposite is true for calling someone stupid. A positive characteristic of a person is incomplete without the mention of his or ...

‘Neighbour Rosicky’ by Willa Cather was first published in 1928 and mainly concerns the impending death of Anton Rosicky, although Cather uses the story to tell the story of his life through flashback, inner reminiscences amd anecdotes that Rosicky tells his six children. He is a recent immigrant, originally from Bohemia (now Slovakia in central Europe); he spent time in London as a child, but emigrated to the USA when he was twenty. He lived and worked in New York for fifteen years, but, feeling he was doing nothing constructive with his life, he moved to Nebraska to start farming. Much ...

Alone, the word ‘epic’ denotes a number of central ideas pertaining to size, volume and length; these ideas are also central to an epic poem. Traditionally, epic poems are long in length and usually deal with an extremely involved plot: heroes, wars, battles between gods, and journeys are usually integral plot devices. They also have a number of key characteristics which help to define them as such. The purpose of this essay is to explore what defines a poem as being an epic with reference to two key examples of such poems: The Odyssey by Homer (and translated by Robert Fitzgerald) and ...

Why is it important to be objective when receiving feedback? How might you use feedback to revise your rough draft to make it as effective as possible?

1. When receiving feedback, it is very important to be as objective as possible. Most of the time, constructive criticism is extremely helpful but it is imperative to maintain your original ideas as they are just as important. Feedback can sometimes offer you fresh ideas – everyone has the ability to give different opinions and points of view: to encompass those as well as your own in your work is a fine line to ...

The ageing process is characterized by various: psychosocial, behavioral and biological changes. With adequate healthcare interventions, the ageing individual is able to cope with these changes and live a fully functional life. The role of nursing in such a venture cannot be sidelined.

Psychosocial effects of aging can best be explained using Ericksons’ theory of psychosocial development. Researchers posit that after approximately 65 years, an individual either undergoes integrity or despair as they reflect on their lives and the choices they made (Brown & Lowis, 2003). This need to reflect and the subsequent feelings are generated by an overwhelming realization ...
