In this article,”Does Size Matter?” it discusses a report of a paper on the psychological study made to test the advertising media’s claim that ads using thin body models are most effective in selling the product. It also tested the premise if attractiveness of the model was a contributing factor despite body size and wether or not representing thin body image as ideal has a detrimental effect on women. It presented three images in the ads featuring thin body models, average sized body models…

Contract law is generally considered a matter of state law, meaning each state in the United States has its own system of law and common law to oversee the creation of contracts and enforce the obligations set by these contracts. There is no all-encompassing federal law which regulates each states contract laws, hence creating variation and controversy between the different states laws. While there are many types of business contracts, one common contract most people will encounter in the workforce…

subjected to a magnetic force acting in a perpendicular sense to its velocity. Thus, the work done by this force is zero because the displacement of the particle is always perpendicular to the magnetic force. Therefore, a static magnetic field only changes the direction of the velocity and has no effect on the speed of the charged particle. Considering the case of a positively charged particle, of magnitude q, moving in a uniform external magnetic field with an initial velocity of v, whose vector…

pointless feuds start over miniscule topical topics. Fortunately in the area of anthropology, politics comes at a different context than to save its’ usual position for voting or presidential races. In anthropology, I learned about the politics of state matters. Finding out more than leadership but what keeps a group or community together or can tear citizens apart. I am a person who has dealt with projects of direct observation. There’s something inherently interesting from looking at interactions…

States of matter are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Historically, the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in bulk properties. Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume but adapts to the shape of its container; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy whatever volume is available. This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions…

Traditionally in school we are taught that there are only four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Fortunately this is not true as that would be boring. There are also at least 4 other-less common states and Icontest a fifth. These are Bose-Einstein condensate, photonic molecules, quark-gluon plasma, superconductors, and superfluids. They all have unique properties that clearly distinguish differences between them and the traditional four states. These breakthroughs could help us in the future and…

The book, No Matter How Loud I Shout, takes an in-depth look at the juvenile court system in the state of California in the 1990s. Through a colorful narrative story the author, Edward Humes, paints of vivid picture of the how dysfunctional the system truly was. The main focus is on the various ways the system has failed many of the juveniles that it is intended to help. Peggy Beckstrand, the Deputy District Attorney, says it best “The first thing you learn about this place, is that nothing works…

Courage is Courage, No Matter How Small The Mirabal family, heroes of the Dominican Republic, revolutionized the Dominican dictator by overthrowing him. Minerva, María Teresa, Patria, and Dedé Mirabal were the leaders each putting their life at risk to fight for what they believe in. The four sisters worked together in order to make a difference, all putting a bountiful amount of courage, some more than others, so that they can put an end to the dreaded dictator’s reign, with the help of Julia…

Temperature 4) What property of a substance corresponds to the average PE of its particles? Phase 5) List the three common states of matter…

A recurring theme in the time line of the history of climate change is the finding or discovering a pattern of data and then the dismissal of the data by a certain group of people. The reason being that while data might be true in order to attribute the cause to humans it involves making logical inferences and judgments on that data that certain countries cannot agree on. I have omitted instances where people discredit climate change because this paper is about the climate fiction in the historical…
