behavior one looks at the whole organism and how it interacts in its environment. His view was an effort to make a science without subjective ideas, and have a science as objective as physics (Schultz, 1969). Watson started this research with little Albert, and observed emotional response…

“The Principle of Indeterminacy turned science inside out. Suddenly determinism goes, causality goes, and we are left with a universe composed of what Eddington calls, ‘mind-stuff.’ Listen to these physicists: Sir James Jeans, Eddington's successor, invokes ‘fate,’ saying that the future "may rest on the knees of whatever gods there be." Three world-famous physicians to demonstrate the dramatic effect the Principle of Indeterminacy had on those people who were intelligent enough to follow its…

In his memoirs entitled Inside Third Reich, Albert Speer depicts his time as Adolf Hitler’s head architect and a very close personal friend. Their friendship lasted nearly 12 years, ending when HItler committed suicide in his bunker. After the war Speer was certain that he would be sentenced to death by hanging like many other Nazi leaders. Instead he was sentenced to a 20 year sentence in Spandau prison. He was granted this sentence in lieu of death due to a convincing case made at the…

In the novel Anthem, written by Ayn Rand, the protagonist of the story struggles with the ethicality of his actions and his choice to write about the events that happened to him throughout his life. Due to the society Equality grew up in, he was under the belief that writing his personal opinions was a grave transgression that he would be punished for. This was the reason the novel began with the phrase “It is a sin to write this,”(2). However, by the end of the novel, Equality’s belief grew and…

Artists and authors often tell a tale involving some form of suffering. One of these tales, Icarus, describes the story of a boy falling out of the sky. Throught the variations of this story, Icarus’s suffering is ignored. Both Author of “Musee des Beaux Arts,” W.H. Auden and Pieter Brueghel, artist of The Fall of Icarus, develop the theme of suffering in Icarus through their artistic mediums. Auden and Brueghel both use position of objects to show suffering. In contrast, the authors differ in…

The first media effects theory we are talking about in class is the Social Cognitive Theory. This theory provides a framework that allows us to analyze the human cognitions (or mental functions) that produce certain behaviors (Bryant, Thompson, & Finklea, p. 57, 2013). My definition of Social Cognitive Theory is the study as well as analysis of the human brain on how certain behaviors happen. In chapter four of the textbook, we read about this theory. One main idea that I found interesting was…

In Albert Camus’ The Stranger, main characters Raymond Sinters and Meursault possess vastly different personalities and mindsets: one is indifferent to everyone and everything while the other is full of intense emotions. Despite being totally opposite mentally and emotionally, both Raymond and Meursault are guilty of committing heinous crimes. In this essay, I will argue that Meursault’s lack of emotion coupled with his lack of concern over anything make him a more dangerous individual than…

Robert Boyle is known as the “Father of Chemistry”, as he was a well-known philosopher, chemist, physicist, and inventor.

Although he never married or had children, Boyle spent his life excelling in his field of study in chemistry; however, his other work included hydrostatics, physics, and even medicine. Boyle was born on January 25, 1627. He lived in a town called Lismore, County Waterford, in the…

Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) began as the Social Learning Theory (SLT) in the 1960s with the efforts of Albert Bandura. In 1986, it evolved into the SCT and contends that learning occurs in a social framework with an emphasis on dynamic and reciprocal interaction of the person, environment, and behavior. A unique feature of Social Cognitive Theory is the focus on social influence and social reinforcement from an external and internal perspective. SCT takes into consideration the unique manner…

Camus’ philosophy adopts the third choice. His alternative to suicide or a false belief in some metaphysical or religious rationality is to live life in rebellion (Aronson 9). He proposes that living in defiance of the bereft condition of humanity is to live with integrity. Being fully conscious of life’s absurdity but carrying on with vigor and in earnest: this is how Camus proposes to make life worthwhile. By being aware of the human condition, Camus claims that one is taking ownership of it.…
