This organization of the organism is accompanied by physical, cognitive, and interactive results that diminish, lessen, and even wipe out the influence of that incident. This array of mobilization-minimization seems to be bigger for undesirable events than for unbiased or positive happenings. Hypothetical explanations of this response form are reviewed in this paper. Further, it will give a verdict on whether negative bias has been helpful or harmful to the process of human evolution. It is established that ...

Black Lives Matter

I find social activism as a modern and more effective way to create awareness about an issue or initiate a protest against one. This is because social activism promotes mass movements in societies in which it is initiated, and as such, important matters that call for everyone’s attention can be addressed with urgency and the level of importance that can bring about social change. The social activism movement: ‘Black Lives Matter’, initially originated in the U.S. and later on replicated in the U.K., is one that I am particularly interested in. Spearheaded by the African-American community, the movement ...

This taxonomy is both useful and an excellent beginning in the categorization of various forms of private policing as explained below. On the one hand, some of the existing classifications include publicly contracted, protective, intelligence, and corporate security ...
