Binary classification

placed in. These groups are categorized by race, wealth and religion but the most important classification is gender. Gender binaries and classifications are what determines the limitations that are placed upon a person. Gender binaries force people to conform to one category when it comes to sex and sexuality or even basic characteristic traits. Gender roles and binaries limit women to the archetypes of the caring mother and the damsel in distress. These archetypes create boundaries for a women’s success in society and allows the the society to stereotype all women to one role. In a patriarchal society dominated…

Introduction The Morse Fall Risk Assessment is used to identify risk factors for falls. It is most important to identify and plan care for risk factors, but the total score may also be used to predict future falls. This tool takes less than three minutes to complete and is administered by a registered nurse. It is combined with a clinical assessment and review of medications to assess the patient’s risk for falls. The tool should be administered at least once a day and also if there is a change…

it is officially owned by the person/group that recorded it (registering it at a copyright office isn’t mandatory, but is recommended). This places it under their ownership for the life length of the artist plus another 70 years. Pirating is also another legal issue that is present, more people than ever are using these illegal means to download music which is rightfully owned by Spinnin’ Records, however to combat this the label have implemented new copyright guidelines meaning that anyone…

These movements tease apart the human/nonhuman binary through their use of transhuman figures. This approach fully materializes later in 20th century Postmodern and Posthumanist thinking, with the likes of theorists Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, and biologist Julian Huxley, who coined the term “transhumanism” in his essay of the same name. Just as Postmodernist thinking argues for the necessity of deconstructing categories and the ways of thinking built upon them, Futurism and Vorticism’s…

positrons, photons and a small amount of baryons, traveling nearly at the speed-of-light (Taboada, 2011). The energy is released so intensely and instantaneously that in just the first few seconds of the burst, the amount of energy released is equal to what would take the Sun nearly ten-billion years to produce. There is no other process in the universe able to produce this much energy (Bhat, 2011). Additionally, if a GRB was able to distribute itself in all directions equally, such as the…

Attribute selection is the process of identifying and removing as much of the irrelevant and redundant information as possible from a dataset. If the data dimensions are reduced, we will be able to improve the performance of the applied classification algorithms. They will function faster, more efficiently and will be with an improved classification accuracy. As an addition we can also execute data visualization, and increase the insight of the potential classification model [] . There are many…

Over the time thousands of bloody wars fought for the sakes of land, money, and goods. Debatably, the most brutal wars have been fought for something much less materialistic: equality. Although most American citizens are lucky enough to live in a country striving toward equality more than ever before, equal opportunity is still far from being something felt by all. In modern America, people claim that women in the workforce are the ones who are stuck suffering from inside the confines of…

In this paper, I will analyze John Harris’ argument structure in his 1975 article “The Survival Lottery,” then raise an objection to one of his arguments, then I will state what I believe Harris’ response to my arguments would be. After an analysis of Harris’ arguments, I disagree with Harris’ assertion that all lives are equal based on arguments involving society, virtue, and social effect. I believe that Harris would counter with arguments of utilitarianism, legality, and application of the…

Leveling the Playing Field: Socioeconomic Status and Academic Achievement The fixed inequalities perpetuated by a student’s family socioeconomic status make it extremely hard for students to successfully achieve academically. Students from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds are given the short end of the stick from the start. This is something that is further exacerbated by the inequalities within the United States public school system. Public schools are unequal. This may be because of…

Wollstonecraft, the English writer and passionate advocate of education and social equality for women, wrote her famous book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, which argues for women’s equality in a society dominated by men. Nearly a century later, another writer appeared. Virginia Woolf made an essential argument in "A Room of One’s Own", She argues mainly about how women were rejected and mistreated in the society. Wollstonecraft and Woolf both focus on women’s inequality and the role of…
