Essays on Permanence

Plato held the belief, illustrated by his use of the analogy of the Cave, that we live in a world of illusions, with the true forms of the everyday objects which surround us being shrouded behind said illusions. According to his own philosophy, every object or concept (such as beauty or goodness) has a truth behind it; one which is perfect in every way. Furthering this idea, Plato believed that behind the world of illusions we live in which clouds our ability to see the true world, is a world which is populated by all those perfect forms of ...

Permanence and Uniqueness are two principles used in understanding the embryology and physiological development of friction ridge skin. The uniqueness and permanence of friction ridge skin have been applied as one of the fundamental factor used in fingerprint identification in forensic science. Fingerprint identification, analysis and comparison play a significant role in forensic science for solving criminal cases. It is imperative to note that friction ridge skin possesses unique attributes that persevere from before birth until decay after death (Edelmann & Denton, 2007). These two principles of unique attributes and their persistence from before birth until decomposition after death are ...

In the assigned article, the primary focus of the study was to determine the relationship between object and belief, or the solidification of object permanence as it differs between infant to adult subjects. In short, children are incapable of understanding that objects are permanent and continue to exist even when they are not visible. The study then, asked the question, at what age do children begin to create a mechanism for object permanence, or do children have a notion of object permanence previous to 5 ½ months. In order to answer this question, a group of 24 infants ranging from ...

The Cloud for Digital Photography

CONVENTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY: STORAGE & MANAGEMENT ISSUES The advent of photography in late 1830s (Roosa, n.d.) has mandated later introduction and development of memory storage methods. The capacity for cameras to preserve in photographs personal and collective memories has made permanency a more urgent issue as photographs became household collectibles. Moreover, as development methods improved, older photographs (developed using outdated methods) required more maintenance during storage, particularly photographs produced by acetate negatives, chromogenic color film, polyester film and instant color print processes (Roosa). The deterioration of photographs by poor environmental storage conditions, poor storage enclosures, inadequate handling and shelving conditions, and ...

Introduction

Robert Smithson examines the protocols of the standard modern aesthetics. His arguments point to the development of a limitlessness approach into art inspection, whereby art may exist in the mind of the observer in an abstract fashion. He sees the natural world as the foundation on which the ideological characters of people’s concepts emerge. Smithson indicates that boundaries and protocols do not exist for all artists in the same way. The mind of the artists is as vast and abstract as the earth’s surface. In earth projects, both real and fictional elements interact and trade places. According to ...

Understanding oneself is the way to happiness. Philosophy as taught by Socrates helps people turn inwards and in the process better themselves. Socrates apology is an account of the speech he made in a trial when he was being charged with not recognizing the gods that the state recognized. Instead, according to his accusers, he invented new gods and corrupted the youth in Athens. This speech is, however, not an apology as the modern meaning of the word suggests. The word apology in the speech is derived from the Greek word apologia that means a speech made in defense of, therefore, ...

This article looks into object permanence for infants between three and a half months to four and a half months. The main reason for carrying out the experiment was to establish whether infants have an ability to establish presence of things or objects around them at their tender age. The common belief, among adults, is that an object lacks existence at two different points in time without previous existence during intervals between the two objects. Piaget, a researcher, hypothesizes that infants do not start sharing their beliefs until they reach nine months (Fournier par 2). Before the nine months, found out that ...

While both Hinduism and Buddhism are rooted in the same cultural tradition and Buddhism is considered to be an offshoot of Hinduism, and hence there are lot of similarities between the two religions, Buddhism makes a radical departure from Hinduism on the question of the status of the individual. Buddhism denies the existence of individual soul and of the first cause (God), while the Hinduism cherishes the idea of individual human soul (Atman). Moreover, Brahman, according to Hinduism is the one and only Supreme creator inseparable from the individual soul or Atman in contrast to Buddhism that denies Supreme Soul ...

Voting Rights Act 1965

Introduction The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a very important piece of legislation in the history of American civil rights.

Introduction

Foster care is a relatively understudied topic among a wide spectrum of social issues in the United States. In plain terms, it competes for funding and the attention of the public consciousness with social security, Medicaid, medicare, food stamps, the United States Veterans Initiative, and many other programs. There is also the fact that absolute numbers of children in foster care have dropped in recent years (Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2013, p.2). Currently there are approximately 400,000 individuals under the age of 18. At the margins 45% of children were in foster care for less than one year. At the ...

Preface.

The video celebrates foster parents, mentors and social workers who have dedicated their time, resources and love to provide the children with foster care that is paramount to them. The film shows the strong hope ...

Feudalism and patrimonial are two key factors in the styles of governance in the country, but how much has both systems affected the modern society? The very core of the society rests on the history of the world. Countries model their policies on past experiences so as to improve the conditions for the people. Of course, there are countries that continue to hold on to the traditions of the past and find that they have not accepted modernization. Interestingly, there are others who have changed from the steadfast practices of feudalism and patrimonial systems of governance, but, still they ...

“Effective Pre K and Kindergarten teachers understand children’s cognitive development and promote cognitive skills.” In Jean Piaget’s theory of development, that stage that deals with pre-k and kindergarten is called the “Sensorimotor Stage.” This stage lasts from birth until two years of age. As a baby, children do not understand about the world. For example, when something is out of a child’s sight they assume it no longer exists. It takes a while for children to realize things and people have a life outside of the child’s vision. Also during this stage a child’s motor skills begin developing according ...

I agree with Jared Diamond that the worst mistake in history of thehuman race was transiting from hunters and gathers lifestyle to a life dominated with agriculture. There is no doubt that agriculture brought some good changes in man from time he was mere apes to what he is today. However, man fails to see how agriculturally based life destroys him in silence. Man is blinded by the good life he lives today, a life that he enjoys the benefits of agriculture starting from abundant and a variety of good foods, the best working tools, the best material goods to a healthy long ...

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

One of the most fascinating facets of psychology is cognition and its development over the lifespan. Cognition is a vital part to our development as humans, and individuals. There are cognitive milestones that each person meets, some of which help us achieve numerous goals later in life. It can be something as simple as a child beginning to understand the concept of object permanence, or as complex as an adult continually developing their ability to think logically and abstractly. Whatever ages an individual may be cognition is constantly evolving. There are different elements of cognition associated with each age, and there ...

In the context Attachment theory, the relationship between the parents and children and how it influence the development of children. This is the most theory of explaining the development of children since the children tend to develop attachment to their caregivers in the social set up. This attachment theory tend to be the most important due to the fact that it involves the study of several disciplines relating to the lives of human beings like evolution, psychology and ethological theory. This theory is well explained by the nature of homeless children and orphans who lack attachment to specific individuals ...

In relation to the works of art, man has tried to express his beliefs in several ways with the use of different themes. The use of art and architecture is a vital tool through which human beings expressed their spiritual or religious views with respect with the day to activities in their environment. Different works of art have therefore been used to depict the religious views and beliefs of people concerned depending on the way they perceive their supreme beings. This involved the use of paintings, drawings as well as monuments indicating the aspects of religion by the people in ...

‘Light in August’: Alienation, Violence and Permanence in Faulkner’s South

William Faulkner’s Light in August is a story rich in typically Southern themes told in a new literary style. Faulkner’s literary consciousness had its roots in the storytelling tradition of the Old South and yet expressed a 20th century sensibility. Light in August stands as one of Faulkner’s greatest achievements because it evokes the impact of history on the present, a common theme in his fiction, and examines the duality of human nature. Faulkner’s great genius lay in his ability to blend a Modernist style of writing with a natural feel for Southern storytelling. The result, as with Light in August, ...

The idea of representation has long been a difficult one in the history of human culture. Representation involves two separate actions: seeing and creating. Both of these contain complex semiotic processes that must occur within the mind, which means that the result of representation can vary significantly from one person to the next, or even from one point in time to another for the same person. In the case of sculpture, the process of seeing takes on one of two forms: actual visual interplay with a subject or imaginary conception of a subject. Even if the subject is already real and stands ...

William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life. A doctor for more than forty years serving the New Jersey town of Rutherford, he relied on his patients, the America around him, and his own ebullient imagination to create a distinctively American verse. Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...

All things truly wicked start from an innocence. – Ernest Hemingway

The narrator tells us that Jay Gatsby “was a son of God – a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that” (105). Note the text after the dash: it seems to be pointing the reader somewhere, but it actually points the reader nowhere. Much like the billboard advertising Dr. T.J. Eckleburg, calling Gatsby a “son of God” is an empty rhetorical action, what Barthes might have called a signifier without a signified. Going “about His Father’s Business” (105) gives the reader a bit more information about what that sort of work might entail, given the fact that the sacred appears to have left ...

Introduction

The first limited liability company (LLC) in the United States was established in Wyoming in 1977, and the next one was established in Florida in 1982; but it wasn’t until 1996 that the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws adopted the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act (ULLCA) (Uniform Law Commission, 2012). A LLC is a flexible type of hybrid business ownership that combines the limited liability of a corporation with the tax benefits of a partnership. LLC’s are owned by members, not partners or shareholders, and may be composed of any number individuals, corporations, other LLC’s, ...

Many different themes of apparent opposition come from reading James Baldwin’s classic short story, Sonny’s Blues. There are themes of life versus death, good versus bad, light versus darkness, safety versus danger, white versus black, seeing versus blindness, and outside versus inside, to name only a few. A theme that encompasses all of these supposed oppositions is order versus chaos. The characters in Sonny’s Blues attempt to make order from the roiling dangers of poverty, addiction, war, and other chaotic elements of life in Harlem of the 1950s. However, Baldwin does not present chaos and order as ...

According to Emerson (7), “The higher the style we demand of friendship, of course the less easy to establish it with flesh and blood. We walk alone in the world. Friends, such as we desire, are dreams and fables. But a sublime hope cheers ever the faithful heart, that elsewhere, in other regions of the universal power, souls are now acting, enduring, and daring, which

The writer of this paper finds Emerson’s claims to be logical and reasonable and is in agreement that indeed friendships are harder to find and establish as our standards for them become higher, ...
