I would like to start with the words Megan Chao (1998): “For many centuries, discovering the fountain of youth has been just a dream for humans. Aging is an inevitable process in human life, the result of a highly variable biological cycle. (p.1) Nevertheless aging people continue living full of life, continue working and changing conditions of their lives to the better side. Czaja and Moen (2004) predicted “by 2010 the number of workers age 55+ will be about 26 million, a 46 percent increase since 2000, and by 2025 this number will increase to approximately 33 million.”( ...

Introduction

There are several reasons why the annual Burning Man festival is unique among mass gatherings. Held in the Black Rock section of America’s Great Basin desert in Nevada, Burning Man’s 70,000 participants construct a city that houses—and in itself functions as—a participatory performing arts space, a communal spiritual retreat, and a cathartic experience of radical self-expression (Brill 2007). Then, one week later, they tear it all down, pack everything out, and leave no trace behind. It is an anti-market event (Cesewski & Giles 2007) whose participants rely on gift-giving and barter to secure any necessities ...

Before 1790, the American economy started to grow due to Alexander Hamilton’s activity. The most evident developments appeared within the domestic sector.

However, during 1790-1860, such factors as alterations in transportation, communications, and agricultural production lead to tremendous growth in the whole US economy. Agriculturalists, land speculators, and merchants were considered as the main investors in transportation corporations. While merchants and speculators were investing money with ...

Introduction

Postmodernism came to be in the 1950’s and began as an offshoot of the previously accepted modernist ideology (Stern 72). The main argument made in this paper is that the post-modernist approach to architecture was a representation of the effort by architecture to establish a voice of its own. This argument portrays architecture as a dynamic field, with the advancement of knowledge and technology shaping the outlook of the architects of a particular period. Postmodernism can, therefore, be perceived as an attempt by the architects to challenge the status quo in regards to architectural practice while meeting the ...

1. How would you characterize Martha Stewart’s initial public relations response to the charges against her? Martha Stewart’s initial response was inappropriate. She should have shifted from her usual image of being blunt, stern and tight-lipped to a more accommodating.

She needed to reassure her supporters and stakeholders that she is fine and they will overcome the problems. 2. What key public relations ...

How Men Look

William Stern, his article ventures in research on the male species, a discussion of how focusing on men appearance, is subversive because of the belief that men act while women appear. Stern analyzes the various instances where masculinity coding is only through visual means and not inherent in the physiology of the male body. According to Stern, "not one author took the naked (male) body itself as being emblematic of masculinity" (page 56); description, notions, and opinions about masculinity always through attributes, attenuations, and attitudes thus a social construction of universality and objectivity.

Phobia is an irrational uncontrollable fear, persistent manifestations of various fears. Traditionally, fear is an ancient companion of humankind. Most scientists believe that the feeling of fear is common to all higher animals, and, to a larger extent, to human beings with their finely developed psyche (Popescu 2013), 406.

Abstract

The question of memory has been an interesting one in psychology for some time. Brown-Peterson hypothesized that distraction tasks have a role to play in how well our memory works, and that this can be measured by a simple task. This research uses a modified version of their experiment to assess their hypothesis. The task involves memorizing a three letter trigram and then taking part in a backwards counting task that was designed as a distractor. 112 participants took part in this experiment. They were asked to complete twenty control trials in which they had to continue counting backwards ...

One of the ironies of criminology is the unreliable nature of eyewitness testimony. So many convictions obtained on the basis of eyewitness testimony have been later overturned, whether on the basis of DNA evidence or other indices demonstrating that the accused simply could not have committed the crime, and yet the eyewitnesses believe that they are telling the truth. Forensic interviewing becomes a crucial element of the investigation process, as the questioners have to decide whether or not the information they have elicited is as accurate as possible. The cognitive interview takes the point of view of the eyewitness ...
