Political leaders will always be talked about no matter what kind of world we are living in. The way they are talked about in the media, however, can make or break their careers as leaders of our country. President Nixon most likely did not want to go down as the president that was apart of one of the biggest political scandals the country has ever seen, and Kwame Kilpatrick did not want to be seen as the mayor that lead to the city of Detroit filing for bankruptcy in 2013. Not everyone gets their

What happens to a dream deferred? / Does it dry up / Like a raisin in the sun? With Hughes' intentions as a background, the thematic implications of the poem which opens Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun are significant. Not only is the play's title taken directly from a line in Langston Hughes' poem about deferred dreams, but also the epigraph poses a question that the play attempts to answer. Hansberry's effort to reflect upon the power and implication of dreams leads to a number of possible

Science tries to disprove myths while creating “religious” myths Famous cosmologist Carl Sagan once said, “Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.” In modern culture, science has been turned into a religious rulebook that “helps” guide people to a perfect world, free from pain and suffering. This is, however, not true, as the Bible is the only rulebook and guide that can help guide a person to righteousness and to true perfection. In the book, Scientific Mythologies:

Just above your ear, inside of your skull, is a small, but important, section of the brainstem called the pons. And during REM sleep, the pons starts a reaction, causing many different kinds of neurons to fire inside your brain. Through all this unorganized firing, the brain is forced to make sense of it all, by using its own memories, to better understand certain things. But is this the only reason why the brain uses memories? To give clarification to the unexplainable? Or is there something else;

Author Timothy Ferris has made many key contributions to writing in the sciences and to science in general. These contributions include the studying of our solar system by telescope, helping to produce the Voyager phonograph record, being a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, winning the science-writing medal of the American Institute of Physics, and becoming a Guggenheim fellow. Ferris has produced many scientific findings and awarded writings that have influenced

Thirty-two streets, one mountain, one thousand one hundred and sixty-four cancer research grants and a colossal $451 737 662 have been invested in cancer research (Scrivener, 1.) However, Terry Fox is conquering the biggest mountain of them all: cancer. Terry hopes to raise awareness for a worthy but neglected cause and has now decided to run across Canada to fund a cure for cancer. Terry ran his marathon of hope with a prosthetic leg after receiving news that his right leg needed to be amputated

In the four major theories of personality one of these theories is psychodynamic. Psychodynamic personality theory focuses on the role of the unconscious mind in the development of personality. In Freud’s study, one of the advantages that prove to be present in psychodynamic theory is its ability to recognize there is subconscious and how it has impact on one’s life. As well, it brought the importance that childhood experiences have an effect on an individual’s life. For example, many of Freud’s

"Distortions of mind perception in psychopathology" is a study based on the research of Gray, Jenkins, Heberlein, and Wegner. The purpose of their research was to discover and investigate the existence of a correlation between perceptions of mind and three disorders that have been associated to abnormal social function: autism-spectrum disorder, schizotypy, and psychopathy. Previous research has shown that in order to successfully interact with the world, one would need to know which entities have

Cormac Mccarthy wrote the book The Road in a post-apocalyptic world and Mccarthy left out the apostrophes, he doesn’t use quotation marks in dialogue and for some contractions. Since the date and place are unnamed, the reader can assume that it is somewhere in the United States because the man tells the “boy” his son that they are walking the “state roads.” They both are never given a name, anonymity adds to the novel’s tone that this same thing could be happening somewhere, to anyone. The Road

In lecture, we learned that the psychodynamic view of dreaming is the way our thoughts and emotions in our unconscious mind process in sleep (K.W. Brown, personal communication, September 8, 2015). Overtime there have been a variety of theories about interpreting our dreams. One theory is known as the “activation synthesis hypothesis,” this explains dreams as memories (Linden, 2011). Whereas the “threat simulation theory” is a way to counteract threats or things that someone sees as bad (Linden
