When examining someone’s corpse, it can be difficult to determine the cause of death and whether or not it was natural. This can prove especially challenging considering all of the underfunded coroners’ offices and morgues in the country (Frontline, 2011). In fact, these offices are so underfunded that there is often not enough room for them to store their corpses in refrigerator units thus limiting the amount of time the coroners have to perform an autopsy (Frontline, 2011). Therefore it is not surprising that in some cases the cause of death is determined by an official who was ...

Major flaw of the schools of thought that predated cognitive psychology

The functionalists and the structuralists school of thoughts experienced a major flaw. Both schools of thoughts depended on the technique of introspection despite its weaknesses. Psychologists criticized the definition of “function” as it remained vague. Moreover, the functionalists and the structuralists hurled verbal attacks against one another, and this resulted in the end of both schools of thoughts. The school of thoughts might have made significant contributions to the field of psychology but failed to put into consideration a fundamental influence on thought and behavior (the unconscious state of the mind).

How does cognitive psychology improve on their approach to explaining how the mind works?

Cognitive Psychology uses psychological experiments with human beings ...

Pseudocode is useful in that it classifies algorithms in many instances. It avoids a state of confusion as the program is instructed what to do in any arising scenario. It is in itself a programming language that is written in a highly simple and unstructured language. As a result it can be easily transitioned to the main programming language. The flexibility is incomparable to converting flow charts to code. Second, it imposes increased discipline on the process of documenting detailed designs. Pseudocoding presents a situation in which the probability of attaining relevance between the design specifications and implemented program is attainable. Third, it provides a ...

In economics, capitalism and socialism are opposing trains of thought that many either misunderstand or sometimes confuse. It can be difficult, with the different economic and political structures, to understand them or differentiate between each one. In the center of the argument about capitalism and socialism is the role of government and economic equality. For example, socialists believe economic equality is bad while socialism is based on a free market. There are also many differences in the systems that naysayers have described as shortcomings. Joseph A. Schumpeter’s book, “Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy” reveals many shortcomings in both political ...

Analysis of Philosophy and Falsification by Antony Flew

Antony Flew starts our three-path examination on the ramifications that adulteration has on religious philosophy by demonstrating that any philosophical explanation that is postured must remained up to the same test as any declaration: There must fundamentally be a relating nullification of that affirmation. Most philosophical explanations may not compare with a nullification; that is to say that there is no conceded case in which the announcement could not hold genuine. In denying that there could be an announcement that could nullify any philosophical articulation (i.e. "God made the world"; "God has an arrangement for us"), our announcement, essentially, kicks the ...

The play “Oedipus the King” by Sophocles begins with Oedipus the king explaining his concern about his citizens thus: “My zeal in your behalf ye cannot doubt; Ruthless indeed were I and obdurate, If such petitioners as you I spurned” (11-15).

No matter how well Oedipus governs his kingdom or how valiant he is, tragedy befalls Oedipus through what can be said as “Hamartia”. Hamartia or tragic flaw is what brings down a great character and ...

The story fulfils many parameters of the tragedy. Only the difference is that unlike the typical Aristotelians tragic hero, Willy does not belong to the ...
