The advancements made in the field of technology have irreversibly changed the way people live, communicate and perform the everyday activities. Some of the routine duties have disappeared, yet humans experience the extreme shortage of time and energy to perform all the activities they are wiling to do.

Some technologies brought negative consequences to people’s lives, while others were positive. One of such technologies, which had positive influence on the literacy practices, is the iPhone 6s Plus.

This essay describes the persona of David Foster Wallace’s authorial persona as evidenced in his essays and his social life and interactions with ...

The British leveled the existing key mercantile cities, took over the ports and established their colonialism, which contained the trade only within the British Empire. This was a harsh blow to a region which traded ...

Never a spontaneous phenomenon, racism seems sparked often as an ideological view. Unlikely though it may sound, the white liberal government instituted what continued for over 40 years. Characterized by segregation and violence in response to any opposition, the order came to its end. While in the transitional period, the country established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the restoration of national unity. Obviously, national reconciliation is possible only through racism eradication since it is racial bias that is at the root of the national disunity and bellicosity. Much as the commission utilized a number of tools towards this ...

Music of Thelonious Monk is based on Ingrid Monson’s and Paul Berliner’s work (Solis 3).

A language which does not change during a long period of time is considered to be a dead language. A language that is broadly used by people “is always changing, evolving, and adapting to the needs of its users” (Birner n.d.).

There are a variety of reasons for the language changes: social, political and economic factors. However, nowadays we frequently witness the changes in language because of the innovations in technology, industry and products. The connection between the ...

Introduction

Over the years, little has changed the way romantic relationships are formed. Both scholars and the average dater agree it usually begins with physical attraction and perceived similarity, and progresses in a somewhat predictable manner from there. Typically, this progression has followed theoretical frameworks such as Knapp’s stages of relational development and Taylor’s (1968) social penetration theory. What these theorists might not have accounted for in the 1970’s (and what seems to be transforming the way young people pursue relationships) is the invention of the Smartphone.

Abstract

Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary disorder in which the red blood cells, which function as the oxygen carriers throughout the body, develop in an abnormal manner. The red blood cells are normally disk-shaped and very flexible but in sickle cell patients the cells often become very rigid and crescent shaped. This abnormality in the shape and functionality of the red blood cells hinder the normal flow of blood in the body. The red blood cells are therefore rendered unable to move freely through the blood tissues and through organs that result in the failure of certain important organs ...

Abstract

Shortly after WW2, Japan became a place where the Allies put on trial Japanese military criminals of different standing. Overall, the process looked methodical and well-though-out, with an ad hoc classification developed for determining the guilt of offenders. The post-war years witnessed the execution of generals and the punishment of soldiers following their brutal orders. However, several years later, a complex of factors like the deliberate destruction of evidence or the enormous number of cases halted the prosecution process expediting its termination. As unethical and immoral as it was, the USA had its reasons not to prosecute some of ...

Introduction The theory of natural resource curse can be founded back from the 1970s. Resource curse has been an important topic for researchers since two subsequent decades; multiple research efforts have proposed the association between the production of resources, numerous socio-political ills, and, economic underperformance. The role of natural resources in the growth of the economy has been a question of immense debate. If the role of natural resources is considered in common sense, then economic growth theories propose that natural resources are the gift and economies through building their capital can grow economies. However, if the revenue spending ...

BOOK REVIEW

Book Review Politics has always remained a subject of intense study. Students of political science, brought up on the ideals of Western Civilizational thought, right from Plato to Westphalia, have starry-eyed notions about how the world’s largest democracy, the USA, functions. A close corollary is an intense curiosity about the goings-on behind the curtains in Washington, arguably the biggest seat of power of democracy in the modern world. It is this world that Mark Leibovich (2013) writes about in his book ‘This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral- Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!’ and the outcome is a ...

The Challenges of Working Women

Nowadays, we consider women as the equal citizens of the country who have the rights to vote, but, unfortunately, it was not always the same. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the women were only partially citizens as they had no tight to vote, so they had to work on the farms and conduct only the hard work which can hardly be called feminine. Even though women are the weak part of the humanity, they had to work really hard and fight for their rights and earning the respect of the manhood society. The women that were working ...

The first and foremost reason which is why should be leaning towards the choice is that although college education increases a person’s lifetime earnings considerably, the student is not the only person who takes benefit of the college degree. The education benefits the nation and even the states through the availability of more skilled workers. College education could very well be the one factor which takes America closer to its dreams. Furthermore, despite the financial aid that is available to students from lower income families, there is a far higher percentage of Americans from the higher income families ...

The foods that provided carbohydrates in my recorded daily intake included whole grain meal, cheese, yogurt, lettuce, and grapes. Some of these foods, particularly yogurt, meat and cheese, also provided me with lipids. In the intake record, there were also foods that provided me with carbohydrates. These included beef, turkey, beans, and chicken. I can say that the recorded carbohydrate, protein, and lipid intakes were sufficiently above the recommendations of the dietary reference intake. Given the extreme limits, I will suggest that I should remove beef and all the parts of the chicken food item that have excessive fats. ...

Rome brought light to the darkest and the most barbaric places of the world, and if and when it did, these were areas that posed value to the strategic interests of the empire rather than be regions that needed civilizing. Britain was the island whose unique geography allowed founding a city serving the imperial interests well. Its conquest improved the image of the empire as a formidable force to reckon with and enhanced the reputation of the emperor. Furthermore, the introduction of religious and cultural buildings into Londinium served the ideological purpose of exposing the new subjects to the ...

There are many people living today who do not have moral codes or ethics, and this is one of the reasons as to why there is so much suffering in the world. People are selfish and refuse to lend others money, and there are plenty of terrorist attacks/schools shootings occurring. In other words, if more people had core values, then there would be more room for peace and less suffering than there is currently. Now, since I am someone who enjoys helping people and being compassionate, I do have a code of ethics that I live by, and they ...

The research problem will be to investigate whether the patrimonial political systems of Singapore and South Korea are democracies that surpass their liberal Western analogues in terms of national growth and even democratization in some ways. It appears that, contrary to the popular misperception, democracy is not necessarily a lack of restraint and complete discretion or at least a range of freedom like the right to media. Sometimes, states like Singapore being low on resources and facing external threats decide on less liberal norms and behaviors bordering on authoritarianism in specific aspects. Regulated merit-based selection practices and disciplining norms ...

Chimpanzees are genetically very close to human beings. As a result, these animals are very useful when conducting human biomedical and behavioral research (National Academies of Science). Plenty of research have been done using these animals leading to great developments in public health. Although these primates have helped researchers to make plenty of contribution to public health, some people feel that other alternatives should be considered. It is true that chimpanzees have played a vital role in medical research. However, their use as animal models is no longer appealing as technology provides alternatives.

Sinkholes; Made by nature or humans?

Abstract Sinkholes seem to swallow the earth and everything sitting on the surface. Some sinkholes are small and have relatively no effect on humans or property. Some sinkholes are very large and will leave ga[ing holes in the landscape. Sometimes these large sinkholes will devour a road and cause harm to the humans who live, work, and travel where the sinkhole is located. For example, a series of sinkholes and a landslide occurred simultaneously in Harbor, Oregon. This sinkhole was a combination of nature and human activity. Many sinkholes are caused by human activity that nature decides to ...
