chance for a faster death. For the whales not killed instantly the times to death were also close to the times of death previously reported by Japan. Concluding the summary and data found, it is evident that the sample size given to the IWC may be too small and may be biased in the fact that they did not film all 26 deaths. The hunting of whales and whether it is right or wrong and what way is humane is more based on judgement and opinion and can be very difficult to determine what is considered…

up in defense of this field of sudy. After years of articles being published, but never replicated people started to get concerned about how reliable the results of these studies are. The biggest advocate for putting these results to the test is Brian Nosek. Nosek started the Reproducibility Project with close to 300 of his colleagues to attempt to reproduce about 98 studies. Out of those studies,…

media enough—and when minorities are cast or depicted in films, commercials, and other forms of media, they are limited to an overplayed and annoying (and boring) stereotype or filler trope (ethos). Although Hollywood films and other media industries may recognize that there is not enough diversity in their films, there are still little to no changes being made. Roles written for minorities almost always go to white actors (and God forbid that be reversed) and stereotypes are still being…

Chapter 6, “When Farmers Shut Off the Machinery”, by Brian A. Devore, is about farmers who have resulted in using what they see on their own farm and to observe changes to decide what is best rather than jumping to conclusions and possibly trying to use the newest silver-bullet fix. Many different things approaches were used in the chapter. David Podoll keeps track of the weeds near his farm. Unlike most farmers who would see these weeds and spray them, Podoll keeps them as the weeds are a home…

Based on the table above, McGoldrick & Lynch (McGoldrick & Lynch 2000, 30-33), prescribed several practical points for media practitioners and it 'd be helpful to the current discussion to highlight a couple of these points to have a clearer understanding of the philosophy of Peace Journalism: A. Avoid portraying a conflict as consisting of only two parties. This is fairly common practice in media, the portrayal of only two sides to a conflict that are pitted against one another. Naturally,…

the situation way too far. Sammy was right, she did over bored. She thought she had the situation under control. While Sammy was in class, her mother had gone to the police and demanded the reports. While waiting for her mother to come and get her, Brian and his friends had shown up. They had a baseball bat and threatened to hit Sammy. She never felt so scared in her life. The guy had her pinned up against the wall and tried to rape her.Sammy screamed and people came outside to see what was…

In today’s society everyone is judged, if they are slightly different or have something ‘wrong’ with them then they are made to feel unaccepted. People take one glance at someone and they’ve already pinned them as a certain label in their head. In Brian Caswell’s novel, A Cage of Butterflies, he highlights a few of the issues in today’s society. He based his novel on a real life problem, where mothers in the 1960s were given the drug Thalidomide to help with morning sickness; it was later found…

From the sweat-infested chamber of the Cavern Club, to worldwide stardom on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Beatles *screams* have been highly recognized as one of the most influential bands of all time. They have composed innumerable hits over the years, but few have had as big of an impact on their career as “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” What was it about this song that was so extraordinary, and took them to another level? “She Loves You,” a popular Beatles composition, was released in Britain on…

In 2013, Kimberley Pierce directed a remake of Brian De Palma’s horror film classic Carrie. The arrangement stays the same, but by using a little modernization, additional character development, and new scenes here and there, Peirce essentially reinvents the same familiarity while making the film her own. Pierce jettisons the focus off of Carrie’s tumultuous relationship with her mother and puts a microscope on Carrie’s desire to fit in. While Brian De Palma’s version focuses on the sexual…
