According to Dr. Martin Luther king junior critical thinking is a vast field that encompasses various aspects of everyday life.

Resources are, by far, the sinews or the driving force of the economy. For centuries, countries have waged wars over lucrative resources that would give them a competitive advantage, improve the economy, trade, and help amass national wealth. Following that logic, resources should normally benefit whatever country has them at its disposal. However, it so happens that countries rich in oil, gas, and other mineral resources struggle to maintain economic stability. Their abundance attracts separatist groups or foreign intruders and produces poor and corrupt administrations that use resources as a means of building their own welfare. The conjuncture now is such ...

Abstract—In this experiment, a hand dynamometer was used to measure the grip strength of a subject. The forearm muscles were engaged in an activity, and the grip recorded. The electromyogram (EMG) activity was related to the grip strength by making a graph of the maximum grip strength against area under the EMG activity’s absolute integral during the contraction of muscle. Data was recorded from the dominant and non-dominant forearms of the subject and the electrical activity of each forearm compared to its diameter. Prolonged grip strength was also recordings and forearm EMG activity made to determine fatigue rate in both ...

In Elie Wiesel's 1960 masterpiece Night, the horrors of the Holocaust are depicted with shocking and heartbreaking detail by the author, providing an autobiographical account of his experiences in the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald.

The two cling to each other for moral and physical support, but Eliezer's own treatment of his father quickly changes after he becomes more aware of how selfish he has to become in order to survive the ...

Philosopher Jacques Lacan describes the mirror stage in psychoanalysis as the moment when someone (usually an infant around six months of age) recognizes themselves in the mirror: "The child, at an age when he is for a time, however short, outdone by the chimpanzee in instrumental intelligence, can nevertheless already recognize as such his own image in a mirror" (Lacan). This is meant to be the moment where we are able to understand our own appearance and transcribe it onto another object.
