In my opinion, Alan Watts (n.d.) means that search of significance for an individual is not just a process but a state of mind, which leads the person further. Alan Watts (n.d.) gives an example of photos of peeling paint on old doors. By providing this example, Alan Watts (n.d.) is trying to say that photographers, who shoot this kind of photos do not follow a purpose to show the viewer the qualities of paint or the door either, what they are trying to show is that this process exists as it is. It is just there in a ...

(a) In his article “African American Self-Reliance in a Post-racial America,” Marcus Coleman discussed whether or not the pundits claim that the election of Barrack Obama as the first African American President, has marked the beginning of a post-racial America were the racial and ethical agonies, such as slavery and Jim Crow, have forever been put behind us and that forever more we would exist as a society that values, believes in, and supports multi-culturalism and multi-racism. While Coleman, agrees that Obama’s election was indeed groundbreaking on many levels, especially, for him as a fellow African American. But, ...

Both the readings have a similar purpose and that is to explain what scientific research is and what its components are. Both of them are in the position to believe that science is not something that can be based on personal opinions; rather, it is based on evidence. Pring’s main argument is that the ontological dualism between quantitative and qualitative research are false (60). On the other hand, Chalmers strongly argues that in scientific research, the senses should be used objectively rather than subjectively (5). Both the scholars focus on scientific observation and how it should be done ...

Introduction Conscience is one of the most commonly experienced psychological faculty of an individual, but is also one of the least understood. For many years, little attention have been given towards understanding conscience; particularly on how it is shaped and who influenced the modern understanding of this concept. Nevertheless, conscience is an important phenomenon that requires significant attention primarily because it impacts all human judgment. The manifestation of conscience delineates man from other animals species as conscience is proof of man’s self-consciousness; an attribute that is only observable among human species. As a learned psychological faculty, ...

Managed care models are strategies put in place to safeguard the functions and activities of the managed care facilities within a country. The managed care models usually have a continuum to guide their activities and operations. The continuum, therefore, is critical to understanding the differences between managed care plans. In particular, the continuum is responsible for the scope of control a managed plan has over the activities of health facility (Martino, Elliott, Haviland, Saliba, Burkhart, & Kanouse, 2016). As a result, it helps in clarifying the main reason behind the differences in the control of the managed care models. In ...

Critical Analysis

As Delgado and Stefancic point out, the critical race theory (CRT) as held by most pragmatists and civil rights activists helps in explaining the issue of racism that is so entrenched in the American society’s legal, social, political, and economic systems (23). According to them, race is not a biological but a social construct which means that it is embedded in people as they interact with people from different racial backgrounds. Critical race theory also helps in explaining some of the historical racial injustices such as discrimination that people of color have had to go through for a ...

Introduction

Systems of writing have been cited as one of the earliest and greatest inventions of human beings. Kanji is a broad term used to refer to logographic characters widely used in the Japanese writing system. In Japanese, Kanji simply means “Han Characters.” Kanji is therefore inherently Chinese which was adopted by the Japanese due to their close interactions in trade in the early years dating back to around 57AD (Rodgers 25). As a result, therefore, some modifications and alterations have been done on the initial Japanese Kanji to fit it into the Japanese language. Japanese Kanji has undergone tremendous ...

The Culture of Fashion

With special attention to decadism, Breward overviews the changes in fashion trends in the beginning of the twentieth century (184-185). Here, decades are characterized not only by specific preferences in clothing, but also by cultural and social features of the time. In other words, fashion is determined by sociocultural movements. The author highlights the importance of fashion’s temporality in organizing the chronology of the history of fashion. Particularly with this art, time frames may be easily outlined by months, years, or decades with high degree of accuracy. Therefore, fashion is described as a “cultural clock”, which is unconnected ...

One of the keys to classroom management is proper organization of the lesson, including a plan that maximizes the use of instructional time. The more free time students have, the more opportunities that they have to cause mischief. However, another important principle in behavior management is that it is crucial to know what the “true function of the behavior is” (ABA Supplemental Readings, p. 7). Until a teacher knows why the behavior is taking place and formulates a proper rationale, the off-task behavior will continue to derail instruction. That means that new hypotheses need “to be formulated using data ...

I learnt to read the alphabets when I was three years old. It is my mother who taught me to read the alphabet before I joined formal schooling. This process of reading was a bit unorthodox since I learnt specific letters of the alphabet before others and, consequently, how to put them together. Specifically, I learnt to read A-F and then G-S and finally T-Z. My mother made sure that I was supplied with picture books and read me bed stories regularly. Every night, I would sit on the lap of my mother and father, and they would read ...

Introduction

The United States Constitution can be described as the highest law of the land. During court proceedings, the constitution is the supreme law that is applicable in determining the outcome of criminal litigation, but other laws arise from the Amendments to the Constitution. The United States Constitution often guides how the government should function, the jurisdiction of the presidency, American Congress, and the Supreme Court. It is, however, paramount to note that all American states have their own Constitutions that they enact and follow, but the federal constitution is considered the highest law that overrides other state laws in ...

1. Citing class discussion and course readings, please critique the following passage: Our analysis suggests that democracies are more likely to be sensitive to the costs of terrorist attacks, to grant concessions to terrorists so as to limit future attacks, to be constrained in the ability to pursue a lengthy attritional campaign against an organization, but also to be under a greater pressure to do something Terrorism as we know it is a tactic, a tactic used by marginalized and disenfranchised groups to attempt to claw back some of the rights that they have lost or to try and ...

Option I: How is the Spartans mentioned in the New Yorker? How do these references connect to what you have read in class? What do the references suggest about how the authors and their intended readership perceive Classical Literature and or Ancient Greece? The Spartans have always been compared with other Greek city states such as Athens and Rhodes. For the record, Greece, during the ancient times, were never considered (either internally or externally) as a single entity. Instead, they were composed of individual cities that always competed against each other. They were most of the time broken. In ...

Climate change at global capacity is a fact and scientific studies conducted to determine the causes have all implicated greenhouse gasses, including carbon dioxide, for causing the same. The emergence of industrial-based economies in most parts of the world is central to the problems highlighted thus far. In Collapse Informatics and Practice, Tomlinson et al. provide a summation of the situation by stating that “the world is very likely to reach a tipping point by 2040 [because of] global warming/climate change” unless carbon emissions drop (3). Thus, as commercial enterprises continue to expand, the world is fast approaching its “ ...

Contrast the journey to America described by Richard Whyte coming to America from Ireland, with Richard Duden's description of the Midwest as he travels around the countryside in the 1820s seeking to persuade German immigrants to make the trip to lands far richer than anything they can expect to possess back in the homeland. Is one more "right" than the other in his presentation? Both Richard Whyte and Richard Duden pioneered efforts to inhabit America. Richard Whyte’s journey gave hope to many Irish people resulting in waves of immigrants from the country in the United States. The journey ...

The chance to reinvent ourselves is one of the most compelling in the vast human experience. It is what compelled James Gatz to become Jay Gatsby, and to leave the life of a dirt farm family to own a series of ostensible pharmacies that sold illegal liquor out the back door, all so that he could win the love of Daisy and be everything that she wanted. It is what compels audiences to watch movies that show stories of change and transformation. Change can be complicated because it can end up leading to consequences that we did not expect, ...

In the contemporary society, living a moral Christian life is difficult, particularly because of the different messages that people receive from various sources, and as a result of the distancing between man and religion. In the context of a chaotic, rushed and often confusing lifestyle, spirituality often loses grounds in favor of practical concerns. Besides, the globalization of today’s developed societies means that people often live in diverse and non-traditional families, that communities become less homogenous and various religions can be found within the same families and communities. In this context, the Christian believer often finds that the ...

In research conducted by Rauscher, Shaw, and Ky (1993), the result of listening to music composed by the musician Mozart was an short-term improvement in tasks associated with spatial-temporal reasoning. The researchers hypothesized that higher brain functions correlate with music cognition. Dubbed the “Mozart Effect” by Dr. Alfred Tomatis, subsequent experiments differed on whether the influence is significant. While some studies support the proposed impact (Ivanov & Geake, 2003; Rauscher, Robinson, and Jens, 1998; Rideout & Laubach, 1996), others do not (Chabris, 1999; Mehr, Schachner, Katz, & Spelke, 2013; Steele, Bass, & Crook, 1999). This paper is an analysis of the research by ...

Introduction

A refrigerator is an electrical device used in temperature maintenance below ambient temperatures. To achieve this function, the refrigerator should be able to create a heat sink at cold room temperatures a temperature that should be lower than the ambient temperature while at the same time also rejecting heats having higher temperatures than the ambient temperatures. To achieve this refrigerant is forced to undergo evaporation at temperatures lower than the ambient temperature(Griffiths, 1937). When the refrigerant is compressed at high pressure and condensing temperatures above the ambient temperature results in the loss of heat and condensation back to ...
