Every year, thousands people get heart valve replacements. There are multiple options for replacement valves that can be generalized as either mechanical or biological. One of the mechanical options from the 1970s and 1980s was the Bjork-Shiley valve, which became infamous because of the controversy surrounding its stress fracture failures. These failures resulted the death of about 400 people, causing the valve to be taken off the market. The decisions made leading to this issue must be examined using various ethical frameworks so that an incident like this will not occur in the future. Ultimately, the FDA should require either third party or FDA in-house testing in order to ensure the safety of a medical device before it is approved for market,…

“Students who are pressured to be number one live in between dreams and reality” (ibighit, 2013). The song I chose is titled, “N.O,” sung by South Korean hip-hop group, BTS. In both the music video and in the lyrics for N.O, BTS showcase how they want youth to overthrow goals that others have set for them, and start to find their own happiness. Hence the lyrics, “Everybody say NO! It can’t be any later. Don’t be trapped in someone else’s dream” (ibighit, 2013). The music video shows the…

Why do I GIVE? I GIVE because I am frightened and worried I don’t want him to feel tired all the time I don’t want his ankle swollen anymore I don’t want him to become progressively confused I want him to play soccer, get detention, mend his broken heart, land his first job after college… I GIVE because I am a father who loves his son I GIVE because I have two and I only need one. Why do I GIVE? I GIVE because I grew up with love It breaks my heart to see her have high fevers It breaks…

Second, the inhibition caused by retrieval generalizes to a variety of cues with which one might test that inhibited item, as suggested by cross- category inhibition (Anderson & Spellman, 1995). This result strongly favors an inhibitory interpretation of retrieval- induced forgetting over other plausible non-inhibitory ones, such as blocking. Third property is whether related items are inhibited depends on whether they interfere during the retrieval-practice of to-be-practiced items (Anderson,…

formation in the hippocampus. In the learning area, neurogenesis increases through studying and learning, while it decreases from sleep deprivation and drug abuse (Ayumu et. al, 2013). “It might be reasonable to conclude that when the brain is in good states, both adult neurogenesis and learning ability are high. When the brain is in bad states, both are low (Ayumu et. al, 2013, p.#). Environment and stress can affect growth and decrease of neurogenesis as well as our own mindset of how learning…

Gunnerature and Bjork state, “As culture becomes objected and transformed, social relationships also undergo change and are understood in new ways” (McCurby & Spradley, 2012). The point that Gunnerature and Bjork are trying to make is that ethnic identity is a highly complex and is way of serving as the basis for conflict within the world. For instance, Gunnerature and Bjork state, “tour operators represented the Tharu inaccurately. Although Tharu do display some ethnic differences from other…

British colonial education system which was elitist in nature. It aimed at educating a small group of population to run the government, whereas the uneducated population was left to serve them (Bjork, 2006). However, despite the many years of independence, Pakistan’s education system remains one of the least developed in the world due to lack of investment. This has led to high level of illiteracy as well as poverty in Pakistan. Currently, the Pakistan’s ministry of education as well as the…

cognitive processes” (As cited in Stiegler-Balfour & Benassi, 2015). No personal connections or deeper thinking has to be done. As a result, students learn that they can ‘get away’ with relying on shallow processing. Students may be able to recall information in the short-term. However, the information they ‘learned’ for the exam will not be encoded into their long-term memory, and ultimately, students will forget the information as soon as the exam is over. Because No Child Left Behind focuses…

I have seen realism movies and movie musicals but have never seen a combination done in this manner. The contrast of the musicals to reality was so perfect and chilling. This move did not have a happy ending like a majority of movies do which I believe is important to contract what we are used to. I was team Selma the entire time. Selma was played by the actress, Björk who I have known as a singer but did not know as an actress until I saw this movie. Björk did such an amazing job that I wonder…

and studies to understand its anatomy thoroughly. In particular, Behaviorism, which was introduced within the twentieth century, revolves around the concepts that environments determine individuals’ behaviors. One of America’s very own prominent psychologist, as well as, behaviorist, was B.F Skinner. Skinner constructed various theories which served as possible explanations which were utilized to comprehend human’s behaviors and thoughts. Skinner reverted to observable behaviors and emphasized…
