The decade of the 1920’s was a busy grouping of ten years in America. The power of women’s desire to vote won them suffrage while uncertainty sprouted from government actions such as prohibition and especially the Scopes Trial of 1925. Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee’s play Inherit the Wind is a depiction of this unsettling event that took place in 1925. The four main characters of the play are Bertram Cates, Rachel Brown, Henry Drummond, and Matthew Harrison Brady. The friendships between these

The Beat Generation is a literary movement during the 1950s that consisted of male authors including the widely known Allen Ginsberg, who explored American culture in their poems. The Beat Generation could be described as misogynistic and patriarchal due to their exclusion of women and concerns confined to only male outcasts. In Allen Ginsberg’s 1956 “Howl”, he brings his audience’s attention to male outcasts in society. In her 2015 “Howl”, a critical response to Ginsberg’s “Howl”, Amy Newman explores

I will be using the movie Look Who’s Talking to give examples of Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development suggest children develop learning skills through four stages of mental development. The child moves on to the next stage once he/she has developed the learning skills of that stage. The first stage is the sensorimotor stage and it is broken down into six substages. During these stages a baby is adapting to the new world around them through

throughout the life course; at each stage the person must regulate to a new set of social expectations and it also controls how we express our emotions and what emotions we feel. Charles H. Cooley, George H. Mead, Jean Piaget, Sigmund Freud and Lawrence Kohlberg provided insights into the social development of human beings. In my opinion, I believe the trio of presented the most useful insights into the development of the self with his Charles H. Cooley, George H. Mead, and Jean Piaget definitions

The Light and Dark of Colonialism in Heart of Darkness       In the opening of his novel, Heart of Darkness, Conrad, through Marlow, establishes his thoughts on colonialism. He says that conquerors only use brute force, "nothing to boast of" because it arises, by accident, from another's weakness. Marlow compares his subsequent tale of colonialism with that of the Roman colonization of Northern Europe and the fascination associated with such an endeavor. However, Marlow challenges this viewpoint

creative development through the open sharing of intellectual property. (Lessig) There are many issues with the current copyright laws that exist in the Canada and the United States today. Many critics of these laws like, Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig; believe that current copyright laws only exist to protect entrenched, and often uncreative interests at the expense of everyone else. (Plotkin) In the United States, back in 1790, copyright extended for 14 years after the document was published

Piaget’s developmental stages are ways of normal intellectual development. There are four different stages. The stages start at infant age and work all the way up to adulthood. The stages include things like judgment, thought, and knowledge of infants, children, teens, and adults. These four stages were names after Jean Piaget a developmental biologist and psychologist. Piaget recorded intellectual abilities and developments of infants, children, and teens. The four different stages of Piaget’s

references, but without these references the voice of a movement could not be heard (poets.org.) The San Francisco Police Department deemed the poem “Howl” obscene due to the graphic sexual language the poem contained and arrested its publisher, Lawrence Ferlinghetti on June 3, 1957(“Howl on trial” pg. 2). The trial that proceeded was sure to change the tides of the literary world. The ruling could change the ways of the Country, from prudery to expression sexual and other kinds. This was proven

Who really owns ideas, and how long should they hold them? When does Fair Use become Theft and vice versa? Those are the question raised in Brett Gaylor's documentary RiP: A Remix Manifesto, raises alarms for those who think copyright holders have become too aggressive about protecting their intellectual property. The documentary highlights the popular music artist known as Girl Talk. Girl Talk consists of one man named Gregg Gillis and he takes parts from different songs (usually popular ones)

The first of the four stages in Piagets theory is the sensorimotor stage, Piaget believed an infant is born with no way of making sense of the world and that they take information in by using their senses and through motor activity. In this stage children are only able to focus on what is directly in front of them and can only use their biologically built in responses such as sucking (textbook 208-209). Piaget uses three sub stages that children go through in order to develop their cognitive understanding
