In its most basic meaning, “grit” is the bravery, strength, and resolve inside a person. It is the one thing that many public schools try to crush, because it is the single biggest cause of trouble, especially among middle school and high school students. Too many educators believe it is a “spirit” that must be broken, spoon-feeding material to students that isn’t always relevant to the student, or to the student’s career goals. As John Holt explains in his article, “How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading”, “(I asked) questions designed to bring out the points that I ...

Yes Kevin, you have clearly said that anthropologists possess prehistoric artifacts as evidences. (Berlinghoff 7), which proves that math, traces its history to a very early period. Artifacts dating back to around 30,000 years old show notches carved into bones, which represent a set of events or a person’s age. Tools used by Homo erectus ...

The Lord of the flies written by William Golding and Inferno by Dante Alighieri are allegorical books that expound common themes and similitude in the usage of styles. In particular, the common theme that resonates in these two books is the nature of man and the evil that men harbor in their hearts. In essence, the two novels delve to answer the question as to who is the real enemy of humankind. Though the two authors dexterously use different stylistic devices to answer the question, the convergence is that man himself is the worst enemy to each other. According ...

1. The beginning of mathematics dates back to any civilization ever formed, which developed a form of writing. Use of numbers, shapes and basic mathematical operations could be seen in almost every civilization, in the form of quantification in crafts, trade and work. On studying construction sites, anthropologists could clearly conclude that some amount of mathematical understanding prevailed in the people. Evidences found in the rectangular bases of buildings, in the designs of weaving patterns, basketry; craft etc. all prove that there existed an understanding of mathematics even in early civilizations. In about 500BC, trade and tax laws were ...

Introduction

The thesis paper will reveal that Galileo’s notions of the sun’s stability and the earth’s movement illustrate the conflicting Science-Religion theory. Galileo supported Copernicus’s opinion about the sun’s stability and the movement of the earth strongly despite strong oppositions from the Holy Church. Although he depicted aspects of honesty concerning the opinions of the sun and the earththroughout his trial, the Holy Church still held otherwise and commanded to oppose his opinions.

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is a group of technologies that received recognition in 21 century. CCS process consists of collection and concentration of CO2 emitted from combustion of fossil fuels with further transportation to special storage locations. The reason for storing carbon dioxide away is related Greenhouse effect and its influence on global warming process. The main goal of carbon capture technologies is to stabilize the levels of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. It is expected that implementation of CCS technologies will make it possible to reduce the total emission of CO2 up to 54% (to 450 ppmv). ( ...

Abstract

Carbon capture is an essential approach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Different plants utilize various technologies in reducing carbon dioxide emission. Some of the conventional techniques employed include oxy-fuel, pre, and post-combustion carbon capture. These approaches have a high potential for capturing carbon dioxide. However, their massive initial and implementation costs have been a challenge to plants globally. Additionally, most of them are yet to experience large scale applications. Therefore, it is essential for research and development activities to be conducted. This can ensure a reduction in the cost of production. The carbon capture technologies differ in costs. This ...

Overview

Polyvinylidene fluoride is one of the polymers that are used as membrane material. This is because of its outstanding properties. Besides its comparatively high amount of fluorine, the polymer also has a high level of crystallinity. The result of these properties are exhibited in the performance of the Polyvinylidene fluoride polymer. For instance, the chemical stability of Polyvinylidene fluoride in chlorinated solvents and environments that are highly caustic and acidic is very high. Another property of the polymer is its hydrophobicity. This means that it is not compatible with water. This would create challenges if the polymer were to ...

Introduction

Water is termed the ‘universal solvent’ since it is capable of dissolving a large variety of substances. These solutes can be broadly classified as ionic and molecular solutes, based on their behaviour in solution. Ionic solutes dissociate into their constituent ions when dissolved in water. An example of this class is sodium chloride (common salt). Molecular solutes are dissolved as uncharged molecules, like sucrose (sugar). The effect of ionic solutes on the boiling point of water is the focus of this project. Boiling occurs when the vapour pressure above a liquid equals the pressure over it. Hence, the normal ...

Issues addressed by the authors and their relation to the value of customer relations

Porter and Kramer (2011), in their article Creating shared value, pointed out that the assumed trade-off between economic efficiency and social progress may not be real. The authors describe some initiatives from companies and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that bridge the apparent gap between business competitiveness and social advancement, as they define the concept of ‘Shared Value.’ One of the most striking suggestions of the authors is that companies miss business opportunities as they fail to fully consider the most critical customer needs. A clearer example could not be offered as Porter and Kramer (2011) mention food companies focusing on ...

YOURNAMEHERE

YOURSCHOOLHERE C13 Economics Assignment 08 Part 1 Monopolies develop in several ways (Vandewetering, n.d.). There are “natural” monopolies that emerge from the scales of some businesses. Electric generation utilities, for example, require multi-million dollar investments in the plant and more millions to build the distribution infrastructure. At these levels of entry costs, virtually no competition can develop. Some monopolies develop around ownership of a scarce resource. The DeBeers company, for example, controls a large percentage of the world’s supply of diamonds. The third form of monopoly is the result of government action. For example, patent and copyright protection ...

Born pure, as God has made us, we take a step into this life,

First youth, then school and education, only to find yourself under the knife. You search for fame, respect and recognition, With those fake eyes, lip-gloss, and “cougar” mission.

Introduction

Reduction reactions are very important in chemistry as they are effective processes for synthesizing new compounds from existing ones. In organic chemistry, a compound is said to be reduced if it acquires new hydrogen. There are diverse reagents for carrying our reduction reactions. Two of these are sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) - the latter is a more powerful reducing agent compared to the former. In this experiment, NaBH4 was used to reduce p-Nitrobenzaldehyde to form p-Nitrobenzyl alcohol. NaBH4was used over LiAlH4 in this experiment, because LiAlH4 would also reduce the nitro group of the aldehyde.

Essay

Immanuel Kant: Reason and Freedom Immanuel Kant argues that being purely objective or purely rational and being independently free are two peas in a pod. As Kant argued in his widely known book Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, all human beings possess what he refers to as 'the idea of freedom' (Pasternack, 2002, 12). He builds his concept of categorical imperatives-- in the absence of which responsibility and morality would cease to exist-- upon the speculated idea that freedom is an omnipresent concept. Kant claims that it is clearly not possible for people to envision themselves as 'un-free' ( ...

Thesis: D'Arcy McNickle's ‘The Surrounded’ sparked the renaissance of Native American Literature and reinvented American Indian Story Telling.

Native Americans found themselves lost in the cultural matrix that was controlled by the whites. Indians make the biggest portion of Native Americans, and their interrelationships with other people and races resulted to a dilution of their cultures such that it was difficult to find a pure Indian. For McNickle, he qualified for an Indian through the ‘quarter Indian’ requirement that meant someone had to have at least a grandparent of the Indian origin. The novel, The Surrounded was his first book, published in 1935 after the previous series of rejections. Interestingly, it was one of the rejection letters ...

Alexandra Kehayoglou’s work is not necessarily focused on fashion as such. Her work takes on an entire different look and feel to the usual (art).

It was a showcase of how art, textile, and fashion could come together and create a memorable display. The work was memorable as it gave essence to the fashion on display as well as the concept that Van Noten wished to convey (see Figure 1). The carpet ...

Introduction

The notion of "nothing" is one of the most important and controversial concepts in the history of humankind. Its etymology is quite interesting for the consideration, as it can discover many different mysteries associated with the most important knowledge. In addition, the perception of this idea may be absolutely controversial, if one talks about it in the framework of religion and philosophy of the Western and the Eastern worlds. Nothing is everything, and at the same time, it is a lack of everything. This notion has a negative connotation; it denies everything to what it is opposed; moreover, it ...

Human civilization has come a long way since it first began establishing communities and attempted to establish law and order. The reality is that there have always been criminals; people who for one reason or another break the laws established and require consequences for their actions. One of the most controversial discussions throughout history is what are the best means to admonish the offenders, protect law-abiding citizens and send a message of deterrence to other would-be offenders. That being said many different approaches to addressing offenders who commit crimes have existed throughout the ancient world to present day. One ...

The competition is a prerequisite and characteristic feature of the market. After all, if the basis for the functioning of a market economy put the domination of private ownership of the means of production, which, in turn, acts as a guarantee of freedom of choice for entrepreneurs in their activities, and certainly there is competition between them. The word competition comes from Latin and means to flee together to compete on some other career. This competition is crucial for establishing market prices, which are the main feature of a market economy. Competition (in the economic sense) - the rivalry ...

Immanuel Kant is one of the greatest Western philosophers of all time. His work has had a profound influence on those thinkers that came after him in many different areas. One of the most important of these spheres is ethics, where he attempted to develop a metaphysic of morals. In this sense, he did not wish to just determine what the correct and incorrect courses of action were, but to establish a theory that would serve to determine how one should act. He attempted to establish universal laws that would govern people’s behavior through reason. As such, he ...

Step 1: Story of Race

The rationalization of non-European people and some European population, such as the Irish served a primary purpose of differentiating individuals within a population. Individuals within a group set are different from the others. Thus, the concept of rationalization acts as a tool to bring out the different categories that are present in our population. Eugenics was an idea suggested by Plato that was inclined towards the sustenance and uprising of superior human beings with regards to their genetic traits. Plato suggested the practice of selective mating. This is where individuals with superior characteristics would be paired, and sterilization of ...

If death is really true, based upon the animistic quality of our five physical senses, then how do we know that we are truly alive and breathing and not in a dream? It has been proposed that people who are aware of the existence of their surroundings mostly rely on their five senses, which may cause illusions. The ethereal yet grounded theory of existentialism provides the landscape for a more positively-identified pathway which reaches across the separation that exists among humans.            When thinking about the quote ‘existence precedes essence’, the concept lends room for credibility that Morrie was right ...

Question 1 There are a number of different ways in which people can become faithful. There are arguments in two different ways. In some cases, Christians can become faithful as a result of their parents, through faith inculcation. In this case, the faithfuls are socialized into following the rituals in their environment, and this can translate into real faith as they become more aware of the reason behind these rituals and practices. It is passed on from individuals who have faith to those that do not and is one way of creating an environment in which faith can develop ...

It was a unique time in history; slavery had been abolished, Jim Crow las were in effect but the civil rights movement had not yet begun. Voices like Langston Hughes spoke out against the racial oppression. Hughes himself wrote many short stories, poems and plays in his time.

Due to the negative nature ...

Over centuries, white supremacy always put domination on those who were fair-skinned than those who were black. There was white privilege that put the white ones ahead in freedom, opportunities and rights to the point that the black ones were left behind to be treated more as slaves, mainly because they lacked the higher value of having white skin color. This was the dehumanization of African peoples even in the United States, in which they were reduced to the status of a chattel just for the sake of enslavement, as well as, economic exploitation. There was white supremacy for ...

Bad faith in The Scarlet Letter

It can be really difficult to come to a decision when the outside world persuades you to meet your own wishes first. Being by nature a weak-willed creature, people are inclined to rash actions and misguided dealings. We are, at times, sneaky and foolish. Sometimes even the good intentions we may have and a deep longing to act justly may also be seen as a display of bad faith. According to Sartre, bad faith is the use of freedom without the acknowledgement of its presence (Detmer 203). Being consciously aware of their bad conduct, people still refuse to ponder ...
