but is actually Coca-Cola. When asked about why he carries the paper bag, Dolphus says, ‘“I try to give ‘em a reason, you see. It helps folks if they can latch onto a reason’” (Lee 268). Yet, Dolphus is abridged from the movie. Without him, the magnitude of racism portrayed in the movie drastically decreases. Additionally, the trial in the movie is very linear and boring. Dolphus helping Dill served as a break in the long trial. But, his removal causes the movie’s message of racism to weaken and…

create and emphasize class distinctions, the code of Hammurabi also discusses and appropriates the subject of gender roles. Inequality did not just exist between social classes but also between men and women. Men held the dominant roles. This is very apparent when analyzing the restrictions placed on women with regard to the consumption of alcohol, marriage, and…

These major extinctions affected both the terrestrial as well as marine organisms. Benton (1995) adopted several standard methods to measure the magnitude of extinctions: simple counting, percent extinctions, total and per family extinction. From the percent extinction measurement, he identified five deadly mass extinctions at Late Ordovician, Late Devonian, Late Permian, Late Triassic, and Late Cretaceous…

Violence amongst nurses is not a new phenomenon. It is a topic that has been dormant despite its growing numbers. Specifically violence in the form of physical assault has been an issue that many nurses are exposed to. The magnitude of physical assaults taken amongst nurses has progressively increased. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the rate of assault in the hospital industry in 2010 was 8.0 per 10,000 full-time-workers, three times the rate (2.4 per 10,000 full-time-workers)…

61400-4-15 specifies flicker meter which can be used to measure flicker directly. Flicker coefficient gives dimensionless, normalized measure of flicker which doesn’t depend on short circuit apparent power of grid and situation of network. It gives a ratio of short circuit power and generated rated apparent power necessary to achieve long term flicker lever…

As a mature aged student studying via distance education, it can sometimes be difficult to self-manage and find a healthy balance between life, work and study. Additionally, information overload can prove overwhelming, hindering proper memory retention, after having been out of the learning environment for numerous years. Discovering what strategies work best is an individual process of trial, error and re-evaluation. The time management and learning strategies I will explore to counteract these…

of fracking on seismic activity. There are academic journals and trade publications that show the effects of fracking on the environment, making statements, such as “Between 2010 and 2013, the US Midwest recorded more than 100 felt quakes over a magnitude of 3 - annually. Until fracking came around, the normal average had been 21” (Nikiforuk 57). Another example that shows the link between fracking and seismic activity comes from the Cumberland Law Review which states, “scientists think the…

Goodman et al., (1993) study. Although both of these articles draw on the fact that depression and PTSD are likely predictors of mental-health effects after a sexual assault, Goodman et al., goes into further discussion stating that there are a magnitude of situational factors that may lead to different effects after the assault. For example, a particular victim may have more resources than others to find help after an attack. During ones recovery after a sexual assault, much must be done to…

short story narratives of Spilled Salt and Reading to Mr. Torres, they are comparatively filled with similar themes that connect the stories in very reflective and uncanny ways. Both of these stories contain the theme of forgiveness, a theme that’s apparent in both main characters in how they deal with it. These narratives are also heavily immersed in themes of trying to deal with the past in different ways. They both deal with atrocious crimes committed by one of the main characters from both…

example, an interesting query to give the Ngram viewer is ‘car’ and ‘carriage’. By plotting these trend lines, the history of transport and the overtaking of horse-drawn carriages by motor vehicles becomes very clear on a time line point of view. It is apparent that in the early 1800’s, ‘carriage’ was widely accepted as the one way for…
