Some of the more prominent models purported includes Thurstone’s Multifactor theory, Vernon’s…

The Perils of Pets and Property Management “Do you allow pets?” As a property manager, this very question can evoke fear, dread, or indifference in your mind.

Considering many people own pets and the growing challenge of filling properties with responsible tenants that pay on time, allowing pets in rental property is becoming more common - but the challenges…

Evolution of FOXP2 in Humans In order to better understand the mechanism that resulted in the exon 7 amino acid substitution in humans and no other species, researchers compared the rate of protein sequence evolution in humans compared to that of chimpanzees. By obtaining protein sequences from different species and aligning them, using a rate analysis and computer simulations, they found that protein evolution rate in humans, compared to that of other primates, was significantly higher in human…

Grant Penrod makes the argument that academic achievement should be rewarded just as much if not more than athletic achievement. Penrod believes that nerds are disliked because of their intellectualism, yet the reason they are excluded from social activity is due to a self-fulfilling prediction. He shares with us that today’s society tends to glorify non-intellectuals, such as athletes and celebrities, while the intellectually skilled individuals get left on the sidelines with little recognition…

I heard a rumor that if you are in his senior honors English class he takes a day to answer any and all personal questions you have about him, but only for that class. Now to me this sounds like reason enough to make you work through this class, but unfortunately I didn’t make myself do it. One of my friends Kali Smith took the class last year and apparently knows everything there is about McGee, but apparently also was sworn to secrecy with the punishment of a tortuous death because she isn’t…

Bertilak is married, it does not mean that Gawain is limited to the notions of not being with her. Therefore, on day one, he begins heavily flirting with the Lady while still trying to maintain a chivalric loyal demeanor towards Lord Bertilak. The annotation of flirting comes from mass amounts of compliments. “Be it with me as you will…I surrender myself and sue for your grace” (183). Ultimately, showing the Lady that he is at her service in the sense that she is a beautiful women worth…

As a student, I am always eager to learn and ready to be actively engaged in all activities inside of the classroom. I am a student ready to gain the knowledge and become better in all subject areas, even in those where I am not so enthusiastic about the material. My junior year was a year full of rigorous AP (Advanced Placement) courses and a year full of important testing, which required me to dedicate a greater amount of time into my studies. One of the most difficult subjects for the year…

I am currently studying in Economics and Finance at the Sacramento State. In my academic work, I found myself particularly excited about investment and corporate finance-related subjects. As for my learning expectations for this class, I am looking forward to engaging in a writing environment where I can practice my planning and revision based on suggestions from professors and group members. I would like to see myself developing an awareness of how my major conducts their research in the field…

Everyone has made a judgment or has made their own perspective from something they have read before in their lives, whether it has been a book, magazine, something they’ve seen on television, etc. Suzanne Fields makes many judgments and creates her own perspectives as well, but through the writing of her articles. Fields writes in a unique way to capture the reader’s attention and allows the focus point to be from her perspective, also while informing us about the situation she is implying. I…
