The field of Computer Science owes a lot to the research and innovation of Alan Turing, a man who is popularly referred to as the “father of modern computer science”. Turing is perhaps most famously known for breaking the Enigma machine code, a cipher that was used by Nazi Germany used during World War II for military communication; professor Jack Copeland (2012) suggested that without the information gained from being able to decipher German intelligence, the war may have “continued for another…

superheroes in the Minutemen were initially traditional and moral heroes. Although he lacks superpowers, Hollis is a prime example of this ethical traditional hero, presenting a contrast to the corrupt group the Minutemen and Watchmen become. In his article “Alan Moore, Watchmen and some notes on the…

will go on with my story.” “His name is Alan Monroe but some kids now him as a clown, others a magician. We knew him as a cowboy.” Alan Monroe always had a thing for Halloween. Maybe, it was the candy or the dressing up, but Alan didn't think so. Alan had always known what it was. It was the death. It was the one day a year where it’s been said that the dead could come back to roam the earth. Also, it happened to be the one day a year were Alan could get away with thinking and even…

Merriam-Webster states that, “Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science which simulates the intelligent behavior in computers”. This means that an artificially intelligent machine behaves like a human being. According to Britannica, Alan Turing, a British mathematician started working on Artificial Intelligence in 1933. He was the one who coined the term Artificial Intelligence. He considered these machines to have limitless memory and a scanner. These machines use a scanner to…

Alan Lomax once said, “ Blues has always been a state of being as well as a way of singing”. (Lomax IX) Blues music started in the African American community as a way of expressing the weights upon their hearts.These songs were their interpretation of their protest against discrimination. Blues is a genre of music that began around the nineteen hundreds, which have impact our world by giving a voice to the Afro Americans. The blues was a key factor in the intergration of whites and blacks in…

Millions of valiant soldiers, sailors, and airmen contributed to the Allied victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, but one of the war’s biggest heroes was a little-known British scientist who never stepped foot on a battlefield. Alan Turing was a brilliant mathematician, logician, and cryptologist who played a pivotal role in cracking the Enigma code — the system used by the Nazis to encrypt secret messages — which many experts believed was impossible to break. The intelligence gleaned from…

Positive psychology's development into its own unique field of study under the umbrella term of "psychology" was not without its obstacles. As Alan S. Waterman (2013) discusses in his paper entitled "The Humanistic Psychology-Positive Psychology Divide: Contrasts in Philosophical Foundations," humanists, and positivists both view their perspective as more insightful. With this, the tension between the two perspectives, along with them having different concerns and no commonality, causes debate,…

Statement of Purpose “How do we ask the turtle to trace out a circle? Remember, it only knows how to walk in straight lines and turn around.” Playing with the Logo turtle on screen in sixth grade was my first exposure to computer science. I was immediately fascinated by the idea of approximating a smooth circle with a regular polygon of, say, 360 sides. Staring at the “circle” on screen, I could not quite digest the fact that it was something produced in a fundamentally different way compared to…

While watching a movie maybe like Disney or Pixar have ever noticed little cameos of pervious characters in new movies. Some appearances might be a mere nod to another story just for the sake of a reference. While others seem to confirm the existence of a timeline shared by several movies. There are various theories about how Disney movies are connected. But there is a network of connections between Frozen, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, and The Little Mermaid. So how are the movies…

Martin Luther King said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” He was the rightful leader of this cause, and that made this movement much more successful than it would have been without him. But, was this the case on Animal Farm? After the rebellion, the pigs rose discreetly into power. The pigs were not the right leaders for Animal Farm, although it was…
