In the article, “Making Difference Matter: A New Paradigm for Managing Diversity,” the authors David A. Thomas and Robin J. Ely state that the discrimination-and-fairness paradigm and the access-and-legitimacy paradigm are the ”perspectives that have guided most diversity initiatives to date.” (p. 80) Thomas and Ely took these two paradigms and came up with the learning-and-effectiveness paradigm, which combines the best of the discrimination-and-fairness paradigm and the access-and-legitimacy paradigm

but those who were not given the chance to exercise their own rights as expressed in “I Have a Dream” .As a final goal these speeches were written to enlighten people how minimal our differences are. As referenced in “The Gettysburg Address” the actions and sacrifices of others was

Did you know that your brain can change over time? Today, there is a concept going around about mindsets and how your brain can grow. All that you have been hearing is true. You can grow your brain and you can change your mindset. Some people think that you were born with a fixed set of talents and abilities that can not be changed. But, in reality, everyone and anyone can change by just doing simple things. If you have a growth mindset, you are more likely to improve and succeed then if you

presynaptic end that contains neurotransmitters, the synaptic cleft between two nerve cells and the postsynaptic ending that contains receptors. The communication between neurons advances through a series of steps. First, the presynaptic neuron delivers an action potential down its axon until it loses its myelin sheath and divides into many branches called buttons or synaptic knobs. (Zillmer, 2008, p. 105) Between the two neurons is a space called the synaptic cleft. This is the space where neurotransmitters

Affirmative Action which is also known as equal opportunity is the federal government’s program to counteract discrimination. The intent was to foster diversity, and compensate groups that have historically been discriminated against such as minorities, women, and other underrepresented groups. Although Affirmative Action was intended to right wrong, it has become one of the most controversial issues of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. All three branches of our Government have been involved

The vesicles in which the neuropeptides are stored in once they arrive to the nerve terminal are called large dense-core vesicles. These vesicles will release the neuropeptides as a response to large stimuli, meaning stimuli which give rise to many action potentials. The site of release is closer to the axon than the synapse and the neuropeptides then have to diffuse toward the synaptic cleft and the

Glial cells deliver neuroactive molecules and adjust synaptic transmission through modifications in ion channels, gap junctions, receptors, and transporters (4). Shape and function of glial cells change considerably in various kinds of epilepsy. Dysregulation of water and ion channel expression, variations in secretion of neuroactive molecules, and increased activation of inflammatory pathways as well as reactive gliosis Morphologic changes include (4). It has been suggested that epilepsy has an

for the Economic Policy Institution and author of a paper concerning currency manipulation, commended UBCJA concern over trade relations and stated, “The U.S. government needs to know that its citizens understand this issue and are prepared to take action at the ballot box if this job-stealing situation isn’t addressed” ("Chinese Polices"). The UBCJA is fighting against trade policies that hinder the opportunities of American

All living organism relies heavily on their senses for survival. The sensations felt by an organism allow it to navigate around, detect food source, detect harm, regulate body temperature and chemicals, change in pressure, etc. Each sensation is produce after a stimulus is registered by a receptor and since there are different kinds of sensation, there are also different types of receptor to accommodate each stimulus. Photoreceptors, like the name suggested are specialized cells that is capable

As medical school students, what are a few things that come to mind when thinking about the nervous system? The Brain? The spinal cord? Indeed, but The nervous system is a highly complex with a great deal of functions that helps us take-in and respond to the world around us. Its basic functions are involved in receiving information about the environment around us but it is understood in sensation, response and integration. It is reason for our necessary physiological functions and the very essential
