Income Inequality in America Income inequality has been a topic of concern since the 1920’s. Never has it been of bigger concern than now. Since the year 2000, the separation between the haves and have not has widened tremendously. I don’t have issue with those that earn more being taxed more, but I do have an issue with how it is distributed to those that are less fortunate.

The Operant Manifesto Crucify the last two letters from my last name and change my first. Call me Emmanuel. For all one knows, Samuel P. Huntington could be right about the reasons for this “clash” he describes as being “global”, a clash which occurs in the near future. Let that future hold its destiny in its hands for now.

I love America, I love Americans - one of my best friends is American and I have been over there on 7 or 8 occasions. I love the American way of life,their attitudes, their hospitable nature, and I love their petrol prices - £1.20 a gallon last time I was there!!!

Description: Akiko is a thirty-three-year-old Japanese female, who works in a Japanese mega bank in New York. I watched her yelling loudly at her American colleague, Bernard, twenty-eight-year-old male. She complained him that he had left his assignments undone frequently. As a result, she received complaints from other departments/branches, which ended up that she must complete his works in addition to her works. As her tolerance was running out, her voice was getting louder as if she was humiliating

Abstract Despite there being so many stroop effects studies done, people might ask themselves where it came from, how is the procedure done, and what can it conclude. This literature review informs about John Ridley, the creator of the stroop effect. How he tested the performance of participants and after many years in psychology, devote his life to religion. Since then many psychologists have tried to answer the effects the stroop effect might have on anxious adults as well as children. Four

When one is reading the names of colours which are printed in a different colour than the colour described by the word, one reads more slowly and with less accuracy than when

There were twenty participants who completed two conditions, which tested reaction time. For each condition the participants were asked to read aloud the number of digits that appeared on each row as fast as they could. One condition number figure matched

Introduction In 1935, John Ridley Stroop further researched and printed the whole idea of the Stroop effect which is also named after himself. The main purpose of the stroop experiment is to time how fast the participants are to respond to different coloured stimuli presented to them in different conditions. This measures the cognitive ability of the individuals involved as it tests the memory and focus. The work of John Ridley Stroop was originally a study that came from James McKeen Cattell (1991)
