I found that in 1942 a Russian scientist S.V. Krakov wrote an article in the Journal of the Optical Society of America about color and the autonomic nervous system. In 1958 he was able to demonstrate the effect of red vs. blue on the nervous system. He found that red stimulated the sympathetic part while blue stimulated the parasympathetic part of the system. In the same year, the color researcher, Robert Gerard was able to corroborate Krakov's findings by having 25 males sit in front of a screen with red on it for 10 minutes. He found that the red increased their blood pressure, arousal, respiratory movements, and the frequency that they blinked their eyes. He then had them sit in front of a screen with blue or white

    America loves a good underdog story. When I watch the adventure of those depicted in the films Rudy and Rocky I still get chills. It takes guts for someone who is small in stature to stand up to an accomplished, gifted athlete. Adventure after adventure, the underdog gives us someone we average people can relate to and root for. There is a reason nobody ever sides with the cliché 80’s bad guy that wears a headband and seems to always have a pretty girl under their arm.…

    Following my reconstruction of Linda Martin Alcoff’s argument I have found two crucial weak points in her article. First her argument fails to properly exam the biology of race. Second she fails to draw out one real issue which targets the uneducated elected officials as the deciders to dismiss classes they don’t know anything about. The biggest weak point in her article was making her opinion of the non-existence of race into sounding as if it were fact.…

This shows that there is a language effect on the basic perception of colour discrimination, concluding that language affects cognition. Winawer actually hypothesised this in his study and his findings supported this. Kay and Kempton (1984) added supported findings to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis in their similar study of colour words. They also found a within category significance, however their participants were Tarahumara speakers, showing that the original findings are not only apparent to the Russian language.…
