Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Description: Michael Williams’ lithographs are actually monoprints, which means that they are printed from a design created digitally, but from looking at this ‘design’ it is not clear that it is only a print.

The teacher is the most emblematic in the transmission perspective. Johnson (1) explains that in this perspective, the teacher is viewed as the dispenser of knowledge and the final person to evaluate learning. Although most teachers use the lecture technique, they are bound to use different perspectives apart from transmissions such as transaction, and transformation perspectives (Johnson 1). Most teachers who do not embrace the transmission perspective also use the lecture technique in order to avail facts to their students. Transmission teachers believe that tests are the ultimate measure of the earning of the students. Teachers who use this ...

Words have different definitions according to experience of those receiving the words. The meaning of the words nature has different connotations, and these connotations have changed according to the changing views of society. Thus, the definition of the word “nature” is more fluid than words on a page might indicate. The etymology of the word comes from the Latin “nat,” meaning to be born. This word morphed into the more current - at least in terms of language - “natura,” which has several different meanings. The first meaning of this root is the idea of birth. From a religious ...

In a human being’s growth and development, various stages are prevalent, which feature a myriad of behaviors as well as perceptions from the society. These stages in human’s development include the prenatal stage, the childhood stage, the adolescence stage, adulthood stage and finally the old age. Although there are identifiable traits that human beings depict in each of these stages, it is prudent to note that not all experiences are shared. Particularly, the adolescence stage of human development strikes as a very important part of a human being’s life. The adolescence is the stage where humans ...

GRIT 791 – Seminar in Instructional and Communication Technology

The effectiveness of social media in assisting the student in the understanding of classroom content as well as other relevant research work is one phenomenon that is gaining a lot of interest with the onset of time (Tess, 2013). Because of the changing trends in technological and social life progress, learning is undergoing a number of evolutions. Students tend to be obsessed with technology, especially Instagram as opposed to the previous use of books for gathering any relevant information (Tess, 2013). Social media applications in the academic sector include computer software typically design to help learners gather and analyze ...

Differences between Classical and Operant Conditioning

In Behavioral Psychology, the term ‘conditioning’ is used to refer to a theory that learning can allow a human being or animal to modify the response (reaction) to a stimulus (event/object) (Hill, 2001). There are two types of conditioning: classical conditioning and operant conditioning with distinct characteristics. When the two types are contrasted, it is easily noticeable that both approaches involve diverse learning patterns. As far as classical conditioning is concerned, it involves “learning by association, and refers to the conditioning of reflexes – how animals learn to associate new stimuli with innate bodily reflexes” (Hill, 2001). According to operant ...

The 1880s were the beginning of dramatic changes in the lives of Americans living in urban areas. As cities grew at astronomic rates, the population expanded in conjunction to the Second Industrial Revolution and rose to over 15 million people by 1900. The Second Industrial Revolution was distinctly different from the first Industrial Revolution in that “pure science played a major role in developing new industries,” including the development of “steel, chemicals, and electricity” (Horn, Rosenband and Smith 84). For the average American, such industrial expansion and massive population growth dramatically altered the way of life for city dwellers. ...

The Mawangdui tomb paintings has been analyzed very carefully by a number of experts who have different interpretations based on the belief systems prevalent at the time of Lady Dai's life and death. Given how rich Chinese history is, in terms of its beliefs, there are a number of texts and sources that can be used to explain this four-layered coffin and that has become the subject of much debate (Holloway). In the first reading, the question as to why paintings are even kept in tombs is asked and where one reaches the conclusion that it is probably assumed ...

Précis The topic of team coordination and control in escalating situations makes the subject of the study conducted by Bergström, Dahlström, Henrikson and Dekker (2010), presented in their article “Team Coordination in Escalating Situations: An Empirical Study Using Mid-Fidelity Simulation”. As the title indicates, a simulation methodology is used for testing teams’ ability to coordinate in situations that aggravate, threatening the general organizational operations. Structurally, the article includes five mains sections, respectively introduction, methods, results, discussions and conclusions. The introduction section presents the goal of the study, but also the definitions of main concepts, such as ...

A chemist may be draw to the science because it contains physics and mathematics, with results clearly defined. On the other hand, biology can be messy, with fluids and disrupted bodies and patient suffering. For the nursing professional, there may be the temptation to define a physical process present in a patient as either biological or chemical. Technically, the definition for biology is simply the “scientific study of living organisms” (TheFreeDictionary.com), while chemistry is “a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and of the transformations that they undergo” (Merriam-webster.com). However, the lines blur when ...

Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem “Ozymandias” focuses on the trend toward decline that always takes hold of the leaders of empires, particularly when they turn their attention away from fostering the growth of their people and toward perpetuating their own memories. Their pride shows forth in the erection of giant statues of themselves, on which they have artisans engrave all sorts of grandiose quotations about the unlimited power of their rule. They forget, of course, that all of us – not just individuals, but societies and countries – will come to an end at some point. This pride that makes people ...

Failing never feels good when it happens initially. No one enters into a commitment with an intention to fail. Most people pursue a goal with the expectation to succeed. Unfortunately, failure is a phenomenon that cannot be avoided. Rather than perceiving failure as a negative event or incident, there is something quite valuable to learn when one fails. Without failure growth would be limited. I have heard many times throughout life that “we learn from our failures.” When I was younger I did not understand this concept, and even as I matured this idea did not sound appealing. However, ...

Business

The I.D. Man There may be lots of diverse opinions on the initiative of Nandan Nilekani to create the largest biometric database the world has ever seen. Given the fact that only a small fraction of the population of India is visible to the federal government through the system of national identification, this initiative appears even more reckless and unprecedented. While it is obvious from the article that the initiative was not universally critically acclaimed and is considered as voluntarist by some of the government and untraditional to the majority of the population, its implementation, no matter how scarce ...

Project de-escalation refers to closing a project before completion. There exist signs which warn managers on the need for project de-escalation. Foremost is when the project demands more money than the budgeted amount to keep it going. Nonetheless, that is a sign that all may not be well with the implementation of the project and it may lead to huge loss. In such a case, the management may decide to just stop the project. Second is the change in the general mood of the project’s management. When project managers face hurdles which may necessitate de-escalation, they will most ...

1. Response to Kirsten Frazier Yes Kirsten, you rightly said that the present number system invented by the Hindus was actually a cue taken from the Babylonian system. Indefinite spacing between numbers led to the invention of zero (Berlinghoff, 2004, p. 67). The Babylonian system was a sexagesimal system; with base 60. Big spaces were used between numbers to show larger shifts in place values. The Hindu numerals also utilized the addition system of the Egyptian system. Before zero was invented, the Babylonians could feel the empty spaces between numbers and they could see their absence. Historians have evidences ...

The chromosomal theory of inheritance is a theory that defines the role of the chromosomes in the execution of the process of Mendelian inheritance (Waddington, 2016). The theory makes a maximum application of the Mendelian laws of inheritance based on various observations. Some of the observations affiliate to the laws includes; the migration of the homologous pairs of chromosomes as discrete structures independent of the other pairs that exist in the same strand. In addition, the theory explains the random process of the pre-gamete occupation of each homologous pair of chromosomes (Waddington, 2016). The parent contributes half of the ...

Abstract

Herbivores exclusively feed on plants while carnivores feed on meat. These food preferences mean that there are differences in the oral cavities, the stomach, the small intestines and the entire digestive tract mechanisms of the two types of animals. While carnivores such as lions have short digestive tracts with stronger and more acidic digestive juices because meat is easier to digest, herbivores such as zebras have long digestive tracts that are alkaline to increase the rate of digestion and absorption of plant materials. The basic difference between carnivores and herbivores is that they exclusively feed on meat and plants ...

Critical design/design fiction originates from graphic design authorship. Critical design utilizes design as a medium to display political, social, economic, and cultural issues. This approach has a close association to contemporary product design and is closely related to graphic design authorship, and the objects in critical design serve the function of acting as polemical actors. Besides, critical design consists of contemporary designers who have a critical attitude towards mainstream product design. These designers borrow from recent commercial design despite distancing themselves from it. Design fiction raises various themes in its agenda such as sexuality, technology, and genetics among others. ...

The laws meant that the Bowen plant of the Southern Company had to reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide released during the production of electricity. Prior to the enactment of the laws, Bowen’s sulphur dioxide emissions amounted to thirty tons an hour (Reinhardt 2). This amount translated to an annual emission of 262800 tons assuming 8760 hours in a year. Between 1995 and 2000 during the first phase of the implementation of the laws, the plant would only be allowed annual emissions of 254,580 tons of sulphur dioxide. This translates to hourly emissions of 29.06 tons (Reinhardt ...

Human rights are fundamental for any individual anywhere in the world. The world is always changing and transforming to meet the needs of the increasing globalization and internationalization. In essence, different countries have different sets of human rights. However, there are universal human rights established by international organizations, most notably the United Nations. They are mostly the fundamental freedoms. They include the freedoms of speech, religion, association, expression, and the right to life. Everyone is entitled to these rights, and there are disciplinary measures for countries or leaders who commit crimes that violate the fundamental rights. However, a select ...

Errors involved in digital image capturing and processing can either be systematic or random. Systematic errors are classified into geometric distortions, spectral errors and distortions. Geometric distortions are caused by sensor-Earth geometric variations which affects the position of a pixel relative to other pixels,. In digital images, the pixel position is compared to the other pixels in the scene and the absolute position of the pixel relative to real coordinates in latitudes and longitudes. Geometric distortions can render the image and the information expected to be derived from the image as useless,. This is because the image is sometimes ...

Gilgamesh and Achilles are famous heroes from ancient epics of Mesopotamian and Greek cultures, respectively. The traits of each hero reveal clues as to their cultural ideals. The two characters share a sense of pride and a need for glory, but they differ in that Gilgamesh’s top quality is his strength where as Achilles’ is his fighting ability. Gilgamesh and Achilles are both mortal, but they differ in their key qualities. Gilgamesh has superior physical strength; this is his main heroic quality. He is also courageous and quick-witted. Achilles, on the other hand, is a proficient warrior. The ...

Question 1

The statement made by Gary Hirshberg means that consumers do not know the power they possess in influencing the type of products sold in stores. Stores take note of all the products that their customers are buying. Based on this information, stores understand what their customers want. As such, stores will try as much as possible to align with their customer preferences and stock the products that are most appealing to their customers. I agree with Hirshberg’s statement because most consumers think that the purchases they make are negligible and cannot have any significant effect on what the ...

There is a day I had visited a nearby store as I wanted to buy a pair of shoes. When I got to the shop, there was this attendant of Asian accent, probably from China or Japan. I was not really sure about what I wanted, so I had many questions. However, I realized that the attendant was avoiding eye contact. At first, I ignored the behavior and kept talking, hoping that the attendant will eventually realize that I was anticipating eye contact. However, to my disappointment, there never came a time that the attendant even attempted to ...

Analysis of the poem “The Blue Bowl” by Jane Kenyon

Jane Kenyon’s poem “The Blue Bowl” is a short but strong work, representing the feelings about loss and death. Initially, it seems to be quite a simple and explicit poem, as the author tells us about the death of a cat in the first line:

with his bowl.” (Kenyon) However, with further reading and restating the poem, we realize that it has a much deeper sense. It is filled with symbols, which show us the inevitability of death. The title of the poem is a clear evidence that the blue bowl is a symbol, which must be explained ...

Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment

Job satisfaction and organizational commitment are closely linked to each other, but they differ from each other. Job satisfaction refers to the affective attachment of oneself to the job viewed either in its entirely i.e. global satisfaction or with respect to specific aspect like facet satisfaction (e.g. employee’s perspective of quality of supervision). On the other side, organizational commitment is the emotional response to a favorable appraisal of the work environment (Stewart, 2008). Usually, job satisfaction leads to organizational commitment (Stewart, 2008). BMW is considered as the top employer in the U.S. due to high level of satisfied ...

There is the need for healthcare facilities and the professionals working in such facilities to be aware of the safety and quality issues which affect the wellbeing of patients. The core objective of such a move is to ensure that patients are able to emerge with desirable outcomes and that possible readmission cases, high morbidity and high mortality cases are reduced. In this regard, therefore, it is essential that hospitals take into account the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) measures which will oversee an improvement in the safety and quality of services which patients receive ...

1. In the 1790s, as America was still forging its identity, global events such as the French Revolution and the fight between Britain and France led America to reconsider the ways it would conduct itself as a free nation – Jefferson believed it would lead to populist government, while Washington and Hamilton feared it “raised the specter of anarchy” (Foner 297). Political divisions in America included the argument between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, who had differing ideas of how to economically expand the country’s power (Hamilton through England, Jefferson through westward expansion). 2. Thomas Jefferson accomplished a great ...

Thesis Statement: due to the current globalization and the current status of English as a global language, learning English is an undoubtedly required competency for people from any part of the world that need to start being acquired since the youngest age possible. Alternate Thesis 1: A number of benefits which appears due to a good English command are multiple and incorporate different domains, therefore teaching English should be encouraged among foreigners from their very young age. Alternate Thesis 2: Teaching the young learners is a complex issue which must be aligned with the specifics of their development and ...

Before we delve into Singer’s arguments as outlined in the book, Exploring Ethics, it will be important that we familiarize ourselves first with the whole concept of ethics. Ethics in its simplest definition is that accepted code of behavior that is expected of a member of a society or a given profession. It involves the principles that enable one to know what is wrong and right. Singer in his book tries to bring the correlation between famine (and other evils), affluence as well as morality and how these come into play whenever ethics is being discussed. Singer tries ...

The state of women’s health ranks among the worst performing initiatives in the United States. Many women die during childbirth, and others do not access proper medication during the same. Another campaign is that against abortion. Adverts are put in place to help create awareness to the public on the effects of the act (Snyder, 1998). Mass education is also organized to ensure that everyone knows the impacts that abortion causes to the society. All women are expected to have full access to quality and good health care services. This policy is regardless of their state of the ...

Last summer my dream was about to come true: I was extremely eager to go to one European country – to Spain. I have never been there before, so I had a huge desire to travel to this sunny country since the time of my childhood. There is no exact explanation why I liked this country – I just adored it and that is it. Maybe the reason was its sparkling beaches or warmth of Mediterranean See, maybe it was ancient cities, like Barcelona or Madrid, full of professional matadors. Perhaps it also could be colorful carnivals with a great deal ...

Essay 1.

The universal formula of the categorical imperative is an objective law which proceeds from a subjective maxim – action and will. That is, when a given ethical consideration presents itself, a person must ask whether the action of his will agrees with nature (Kant 38). By its definition, the categorical imperative is the basis of duty. By nature, Kant means that which is objective, and that which exists as a part of nature – abiding by the laws of nature (Kant 38). Kant continues by stating that in ethical considerations, or duty, one must act subjectively through one’s will to ...

Glassmaking Technologies in the Late 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, 1351-1323 BCE

Description of Project The XVIII Dynasty of ancient Egypt is likely the most familiar period of Egyptian history for people today. This is due to the major news event of 1923, when Howard Carter opened the sealed tomb of Tutankhamun, a teenage pharaoh who ruled from 1332 to 1323 BCE (Schultz 2010). King Tut, as he was nicknamed by the press, was laid to rest in the Valley of the Kings in a tomb full of precious objects, with rich drawings on its walls that illustrated the young king’s life. Many of those objects were made of, or ...

With regard to the question “should marijuana be legalized,” we conclude the answer is “yes.” This conclusion is made based on the economics of the issue. The existing system involves significant expense to local government with no appreciable result. Marijuana remains readily available virtually anywhere in the nation, decades of the war on drugs notwithstanding. That a demand for this product exists is undeniable. Continued criminalization will accomplish nothing beyond driving costs up marginally. The evidence is seen in the results. To continue to do the same thing and expect a different result is one classic ...

In regards to the father and son and their commitment to Islam is that the father is entirely committed to Islam, but the son is not. This has resulted into them not being too close to each other despite being related as father and son. For example, at the beginning of the movie when his father goes to pray the son does not show any sign of interest or concern. At the beginning of their pilgrimage to Mecca, the father and the son relationship is not good, and it is evident when they start their journey the son barely ...

As far as I am concerned, a good leader is a charismatic individual who is able to comprehend personal interaction and collaboration in a way that inspires people to achieve specific goals. Being a leader, it is of paramount importance to encourage innovative behavior of employees, thereby providing constant motivation and encouragement to unleash their potential. I strongly believe that a leader should be eager to develop innovative approaches to address emerging issues. Besides, leadership presupposes the ability to make risky decisions and effectively maneuver resources, moving them into more productive areas of activity. When it comes to the ...

Response Hyundai Cut Cost

All organizations should look for ways of cutting costs when they experience a decrease in profit. However, in implementing cost-cutting measures, it is important to start by establishing budget variances. This helps to identify the costs that have adverse variances. After identification, the management should look at the reasons behind the variances and establish how to rectify the variances. At this stage, the management comes up with methods of reducing the variances. These are the cost cutting measures that the organization should adopt. Another measure of cutting cost is adopting zero-based budgeting approach. In this approach, every expenditure item ...

Identity and Community

Identity and community Introduction Many people like being researchers, but they are depressed by the inaccessibility of the outcomes of their research, which could add value, inspire, or provoke thoughts of people who receive information. This implies that the creativity of an individual is rendered futile as a result of lack of OA (open access). The networked and digital technology has led to the reconfiguration of publicness by altering the engagement in public life. According to Baym and Boyd (2012), the affordance of digital media and architecture is what shapes publicness. The existence of digital technology has blurred the ...
