It is difficult for a mother or a parent to start a conversation about such a sensitive ...

The research in the journal was carried out owing to the belief and claims by people that violent computer games and other violent videos lead to violent effects on individuals. The claims were that these games and videos make people to become angry easily, aggressive behaviors and aggressive thoughts. Such people have greater chances of committing violent crimes.

In his piece, Models of American Ethnic Relations: A Historical Perspective, George M. Fredrickson talks about the ‘burden of otherness.’ In this context, he refers to racial inequality and how anyone other than White Americans are ‘others’ and are therefore treated as such. Furthermore, they are made to feel like ‘others’ and this can have a massive impact on a person’s self-confidence and sense of identity. Historically in America, racial interaction intensely hindered the Indians and Blacks as the most obvious distinction between people was whether they were white or not white. Previous to World War II, this hierarchy was ...

In his renowned 2008 article for The Atlantic Monthly, “Is Google Making Us Stupid? What the internet is doing to our brains,” writer Nicholas Carr suggest that while Internet has helped today’s generation gain limitless amount of information at the click of a mouse, this easy access to information comes at a cost. Carr maintains that quick access to a large pool information results makes people skim information the contents quickly rather than carefully reading and conceptualizing the information. According to him, this results into shortened memory span, an increasing inability to concentrate or read long texts. As the internet increasingly becomes ...

I, and I suspect many others; tend to think of language as the biggest barrier to communicating in another language. What I found most surprising about the article was the realization that language can sometimes even be a barrier for communication since it can lead to misunderstandings as would seem easy to happen, as Patricia Hagen’s article “Teaching American Business Writing in Russia explains, between a high context and low context communication cultures. The lack of documentation in business transactions depicted in Hagen’s experience was shocking. But it made more sense when it was explained that this was ...

- What is the Catholic imagination, as Heartney describes it? Heartney describes the Catholic imagination as a form of creative that is essentially that instead of thinking against the body, it thinks through it. The catholic imagination tries to show that while Catholicism presents a mixed view on the role that the body plays in sin and redemption, those positive undertones of the female body that were first expressed during the times of medieval theology reverberate very powerfully with characteristics of contemporary feminism. - In what contradictory ways is Mary characterized in the Catholic Church, according to Heartney? ...

The basic responsibility of a teacher is to understand, recognize and appreciate the nature and behavior of a child. Every child is unique and does possess special characters. No other person knows a child better than its parents, and it is critical for a teacher to partner and get involved in the discussions with the parents to know more about the child. A caring and an indulging teacher can always instigate a confidence in the parents and create a belief that they can take care of the children with special needs in the absence of parents. The need of a parent is to hand over their ...

It is ethically wrong for the LPS Company to employ improper fee structure which results to double-billing the mortgage investors for legal services which is related to the processing of the foreclosures and the bankruptcies. Timaraos (2013). this is actually ethically wrong. The company’s ethical duty could have been to provide the right information to the clients rather than exploiting them on the basis of providing them with the improper fee structure which resulted to double-billing their mortgage for legal services which is related to the processing of the foreclosures and the bankruptcies. I therefore propose that ...

The overarching theme that the author addresses in this article is post-modernism. Various schools of thought have sought to deconstruct those traditional institutions that have been formulated by western rationality and enlightenment. Many scholars have believed that the dominant socio-political forces within society have played a vital role in the creation of institutions and perceptions that we have held as being reality. These perceptions that we have believed to be modernity are in retrospect not a reflection of reality because they are not inclusive of the minority within different societal frameworks. The epistemological and ontological foundations on the universal truths ...

Racism has been an issue in the past and is still prevailant in many parts of the world.

He visits a small village which he describes as somewhat backwater. “people are trapped in history and history is trapped in them”. This ...

Wollstonecraft is more concerned with feminist issues whilst Kant is more concerned with ethical and spiritual issues especially due to the explanations regarding humanism and dignity. 2.

Romanticism is principally based on imagination and fantasy while the Enlightenment is usually based on scientific discoveries and advancement of man 3. On what basis does Wollstonecraft argue that obedience is contrary to Virtue? Again this is a rather feminist statement since virtue is usually a woman’s thing while obedience would be something to do with blindly following what is wanted from ...

In the article “Artificial Sweeteners: Outwitting the Wisdom of the Body?,” Linda Bartoshuk (2009) explains the controversy behind artificial sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners have been recommended to dieters under the notion that artificial sweeteners substitute sugar effectively while reducing calorie intake. However, Bartoshuk (2009) raises the question if they promote weight gain or weight loss because several researches indicate that the paradigm about weight loss properties of artificial sweeteners could prove false. Research on artificial sweeteners will inevitably produce positive outcomes for individuals and their well-being, but if artificial sweeteners support weight gain, further research could cause paradigm shifts in ...

When serum glucose increase in level, the isoforms of glucose transporter kinase (hexokinase IV) and GLUT2, appear in the hepatocyte and facilitate equilibration and rapid uptake of intracellular glucose ...

You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their movements and actions are telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether something is affecting their state of mind. When someone typically tries to figure out what someone’s emotional state may be, three determinants are used; the emotional state of the observer, the emotional state of the observed, and the information available to the observer by which he is making his analysis. These channels of the body are what provide the information ...

There are several techniques and procedures to study the operant behaviour and after being first studied by Thorndike in 1898, Skinner did clearly define it by mentioning that the classical conditioning is unable to explain the development of certain skills or behaviour based on the environment and deduced Operant conditioning, which is basically a concept that tells us about the way we develop certain behaviour with respect to the environment that we are subjected to. Skinner did multiple experiments to explain environment based behaviour and explained the reasons behind certain behaviours.

This is because patients respond individually to treatment as a result of various factors like genetic make-up, status of disease, sex and age. Research processes are investigating the application of matching genetic makeup and drugs. Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) ask patients for voluntary blood samples which are analyzed for drug responsiveness which are then matched with ...

Identity is constructed in and through others. It is closely related to gender which is the social ideological construction of the meaning of the biological sex attributes of an individual. At birth and subsequently however, a baby is subjected to differential treatment by the society in which it is born, depending on the sex. For, to each sex, society gives as a cause, a different meaning and reacts accordingly. As a result, gender imbalances between males and females are nurtured, invariably and mostly to the disadvantage of the females, resulting in diverse gender inequalities throughout the life experiences of an individual. As such, ...

In terms of the presentation of this piece of work and the way it was written, I would ensure that APA guidelines on formatting and citations are followed – which would avoid the error of single spacing and the positioning of the header (which is simply missing from this piece). I would add a ‘Works Cited’ page as well, following APA guidelines. The use of colloquial language should be avoided, and this is similar to the informal use of the second person – you. In one sense, this writer needs to be more precise in his/her use of the conventions of writing ...
