The production of cotton began in the early 1900s on the South Plains through a man named P. Florence (Howell, 1976). Florence started growing cotton because he grew up in a cotton patch and had no idea of what else to do with the rich land he found when he came into the city of Slaton, Texas which is located on the southeast part of Lubbock County. At the turn of the century, Florence came into West Texas with his family in search of greener pastures. Cotton growing was the main talent…

The male sex role theory popularized by Robert Brannon created a great foundation for gender studies, specifically studies concerning masculinity. The following essay will uncover his research design and analysis, his key contributions to the theory, and some strengths and weaknesses of his theory. Ultimately, the central premise is to show how his conception of masculinity and the sex role, in particular, has many faults and lacks evidentiary basis, which conclusively leads to its demise.…

demonstrate the distinctiveness of each of the four cultures their differences have to be heightened, their similarities underplayed, and expressive forms have to be developed to display their separate-but-equal status” (Benjamin, 1976). Even though his article was written in 1976, just 11 years after Singapore’s independence, I think that his view still holds to a large extent in relation to the Singaporean society today. Firstly, historically being a bustling and major trading port, business…

shown that around midwinter the percent of body composed of fat increases significantly in the afternoon compared to the morning, this is in order to gain enough energy to sustain themselves overnight (Table 1) (Chaplin 1974). This aside, both Chaplin (1976) and Gessman and Cooper (2005) found that mass and depth of hypothermia were unrelated suggesting that poor energy reserves do not cause hypothermia. Similarly, Cooper and Swanson (1994) concluded that insulation is not a primary component of…

David McClelland’s Acquired Needs Theory Motivation—the process by which activities are initiated, directed, and sustained to meet physical or psychological needs or wants (Petri, 1996, as cited in Ciccarelli & White, 2009)—plays a fundamental role in our lives. It helps fulfill our desires, pushes us forwards to work harder, and go above and beyond to new heights, being the best possible version of ourselves. Motivation is, for the most part, associated with needs and has been instrumental in…

Source Article Experiment #6, Baby Boredom, is based on a longitudinal study conducted by Catherine S. Tamis-LeMonda and Marc H. Bornstein (1989). In this study, the experimenters wanted to determine whether infants’ habituation and mothers’ encouragement of attention at 5-months had any effect on language comprehension, pretense play, and representational competence at 13-months. The experimenters collected a sample of 37 infant-mother pairs (19 male, 18 female infants) from private pediatric…

likely want to fill the pail with a fire hydrant, spraying everyone and shocking society into radical change. Any social change that is less than revolutionary will not suffice, in the opinions of conflict theorists like Marx (Marx, Mandel & Fowkes, 1976). Origins of the “Bad Times” A conflict theorist might conclude that the “bad times” surrounding the Great Depression were inevitable. Made clear from his earlier work, Marx predicted a tumultuous time like the Great Depression with a…

Zimbardo states there are a number of deindividuation factors which affect a group’s behaviour such as autonomic arousal, diffused responsibility and anonymity (Diener, Fraser, Beaman, & Kelem, 1976).

In groups children transgressed significantly more compared to…
