Twin infanticide among the Igbo speaking people were acknowledged by Ball & Hill (1996), Thomas (1913), Uchendu (1965) amongst others. The work of Kuper (1987) cited in Ball & Hill (1996) argue that the Bantu groups liken twins to wild animals and as such viewed in a bad light which leads to twin infanticide. This opinion was echoed before them by Uchendu (1965) when he argued that “certain births are nso, (ala)-taboo- among the Igbo. The birth of twins was regarded as a great calamity. The…

The cane toad reproductive system especially of male consists of the fat bodies and this cannot be found in a reproductive system of a common brushtail possum. The process of how sperm travels is also different between the two animals. In a common brushtail possum, the sperm travels through the vasa deferentia, which transports the sperm from the epididymis to the urethra (Venugopal, 2016. pg 3.5). While in a cane toad the vasa efferentia helps carry the sperm from the testes to the kidney and…

Since the day that Trump won the 2016 presidential race, him and his chief advisor Stephen Bannon have attempted to shape America through their public policy decisions. They have worked together to start the journey of transforming America to how they think it should look. The idea of how they think America should look, their ideal society, comes from their political ideologies, which have been developed over their lifetimes. (FINISH) Introduction to Trump and Bannon Interestingly, both Trump…

representations in adults are assessed by examining the coherency of speech and thought processes about early relationship issues in the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) (Adam, Gunnar & Tanaka 2004). Which did Hazan and Shaver (1987) did as cited in Levy & Blatt (1999). Hazan and Shaver (1987) used AAI and developed some questionnaires to assess attachment styles in adult relationships. They reasoned that the same three attachment styles identified in children might exist in adolescence and…

affects Mexican families and communities left behind. Within Gloria Anzaldua’s Borderlands/La Frontera, Anzaldua describes the interior problems within Mexico that contribute to the exodus of many Mexicanos. However, her descriptions were published in 1987, whereas the film was distributed in 2010. The same interior problems presented back in the late 1980s are presented now, and are possibly worse…

harm to another party (Selgelid, 2008). Feinberg suggests that harm can be imposed on another person in three ways (Feinberg, 1987). The harm can be an apparent physical injury or damage to property or it could also be seen as a setback to one’s interests. More importantly harm can be understood as a violation of rights in the form of intentional wrongful harm (Feinberg, 1987). Citizens have a right to be protected from contagious illnesses (Harris & Holm , 1995) and having a contagious and…

ever used as a weapon. South (1987) supplements this statement by describing the horn as fleshy and soft, and therefore, incapable of causing harm. According to both South (1987) and Nigg (1995), the two scholars who describe the Chinese unicorn in great detail, the gentle, benevolent, and attractive qualities of the Ki’lin have given it a role in Chinese culture as a source of goodness and wisdom. The Ki’lin is also said to have resembled many different animals (South 1987). Nigg states that…

Reflection involves not simply a sequence of ideas, but a consecutive ordering in such a way that each determines the next as its proper outcome, very much like a staircase or the building of a scaffold. The successive portions of the reflective thought grow out of one another and support one another; they do not come and go in a medley. Dewey defined reflection as “the active, persistent and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in light of the grounds that support…

Rousseau discussed the natural state as and private property along with the state of war become relevant. With no guiding principles war begins when men establish their property and desires for wealth. This is not a biblical society as each man looks out for his own self and puts his desires for wealth above other’s needs. I feel among the three philosophers Rousseau’s view seems to be the most unrealistic in comparison. While his view is one that should be strived for it is not easily achieved.…

stated that this would impact on the workforce by giving them the opportunity to discuss the issues and problem involved and also share the decision making (Harding, 1987). This can be supported by Likert who states that: “leadership style is significant in securing positive motivation and sustaining high productivity” (Harding, 1987, p.…
