The Black Death led medieval European doctors to make advancements in medicine in order to save their patients lives. Doctors had never seen anything like the Bubonic plague before, so when it first arrived in Europe they had no idea how to treat it. This led to doctors searching for new ways to treat their suffering patients. For example, in the book Life During the Black Death, John M. Dunn explains how medieval thinkers believed that in order to treat the plague they needed to restore…

As the common saying by George Santayana goes, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” Despite the fact that history does not repeat itself in perfect sequence, this statement has proven itself to be true throughout history. One particular example in American history is the failure of intelligence in both the bombing of Pearl Harbor, as well as the attack of September 11th on the Twin Towers. This holds true in the failure to anticipate the attacks despite the warning…

Going into this class I was hoping I would learn a great deal due to the fact I have never taken a sociology class or any type of class like this. I learned a multitude of different issues in this class. Some of the truly interesting points I learned about where what sociology was, social deviance, and power elite theory. These three topics made me question society and how issues work. Starting off with sociology, initially I assumed it was how we socialized with each other and different ways to…

Education: The way we learn to be gendered is a highly complex process that cannot be simplified down to a generalized “sex role system.” Humans learn gender in ways that disregard a strict dichotomy between the sexes, and in fact creates new space for completely different genders, or for people who simply don’t gravitate towards any particular gender.

colonies. After an incubation time of 24 hours the colonies appeared black, this occurred as a result of potassium Tellurite being reduced. From the results it can also be said that this particular strain is coagulase-positive as hemolysis was present. Boils, impetigo, food poisoning, cellulitis, and toxic shock syndrome are some of the effects of Staphylococcus aureus. Salmonella Shigella Agar is used for the isolation of Salmonella spp. and some strains of Shigella spp (neogen). Beef extract,…

down substantially. For me, this adventure was a bomb. But I think if you have a larger budget and can buy advertising it’s more likely to work. If you’ve written something that is on the public pulse you’ll have more luck as well. Again, it seems to boil down to knowing yourself and knowing your…
