and environmental factors. Saying this, there is no cluster of genes similar in all black people or all white people (American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1998). Generally speaking, if race were real in the biological sense, then racial classifications for individuals would remain constant. Yet today, a person categorized as white in Brazil, may be classed as black in America or coloured in Africa. There are no set boundaries to define race biologically (Maillard, 2016). Du Bois stated the…
In the proceedings of sex-discrimination cases alleging a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, Craig v. Boren is to always be considered. The 1976 case, analyzes an Oklahoma state statute which prohibits the sale of “non-intoxicating” beer to males under the age of 21 and females under the age of 18. While initially this case may seem insignificant in its substance, relating merely to the sales of alcohol, Craig v. Boren becomes noteworthy once the Court…
they involved classifications which include social outcast, health and safety, urine and excrement, and boredom. The Roman Gold Miner is an example of a miserable job during that time period. This is due to the fact that it involved lots of men working together in extreme hot and cold weather conditions, carrying big heavy…
and clarity of learning systems. However feature selection can be costly endeavour. This paper proposes two new feature selection algorithms, based on binary particle swarm optimisation, with the aim of reducing running time without affecting classification accuracy by combining filter and wrapper approaches. The first algorithm proceeds cautiously by only updating the pbest and gbest, two critical values, after the learning system has been consulted. The second algorithm performs more reckless…
about Piaget as a teenager and his interest on working with children. It will briefly describe the four stages of cognitive development. It will provide examples of children in the Preoperational stage and the Concrete Operational stage in and out of the school setting. This essay will expand on the examples discussed and explain how the examples fit into Piaget’s theory of cognitive development.

Personality dictates the way a person acts. Personalities may be outspoken, shy, or energetic. Choosing friends based on personality makes the most sense. Similar personalities may transcend both the race and religious classifications. The story of “Snow White” is a good example of personalities. Several of the seven dwarfs were named after their personalities: i.e. Grumpy, Happy, Bashful, and Dopey. The story is lighthearted, but it does show how personality can be distinctive and how…
Written language is a trait known to be only possessed by mankind. Although other species may have audible forms of communication, man is able to record and document his thoughts, feelings, or events that have unfolded in a way that can be viewed multiple times without him having to use his voice over and over. Literacy is a skill that adults in the United States are expected to have; but the level of your literacy says a lot about you and can have a tremendous impact on what career you end up…
Moreover, all three articles filled with examples of existing but masked racism in all groups of society. Rodriguez recalls her childhood memories in Latino-American community, when she learned about “clues” referring to racial differences and classifications. As the author points out, “skin color” and “physical features” play an important role in one’s superiority, in addition to one’s “accents, surnames…
harm towards the mind the body would fail and vise versa. Considering the doctrine of Carter dualism, philosopher Ryle disregards Descartes beliefs, insisting and redirecting a certain topic or thing under one classification even though it may actually belong in a different classification. For this reason Ryle criticizes the usage of terms and language that different philosophers use, insisting that they create confusion for the understating of their true message. Ryle also insists philosophers…
