Bystander effect

It’s a learning curve Little responsibility. No real understanding. Very little concept of how the ‘big world’ works. These are just some of the uncounted ways of being three years old. Despite the idea of growing up isn’t thought of and talked about much it still happens to everyone which means it is still a substantially significant part of everyone life including mine, which has inspired me so much to write about my view and experience of ‘growing up.’ All though being three years old…

in a delicate balance, yet a growing awareness of climate change and its impacts on the human population has plagued humankind recently. This anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases into our environment at a global scale is generating adverse effects. These conditions will yield significant penalties for the human populace and its demographic patterns. The secretary general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon stated that in the twenty first century we are going to face a decrease in our…

In 2014, the National Climate Assessment conducted a study on the effects of climate change across all the regions of the United States. Three areas of concern that were induced by the study conducted in the Southeast region are rise in sea level, extreme heat, and decreased water availability. These matters bring devastating impacts on their own, however when observing the state of the Southeast, it is discovered that they are exacerbating problems the Southeast is already facing. The rate…

A Split Attention Effect in Multimedia Learning: Evidence for Dual Processing Systems in Working Memory, written by Robert E. Mayer and Roxana Moreno, discusses a study that tested students’ ability to successfully and effectively process information from two different stimuli at once. Mayer and Moreno found that students were able to perform better on recall tests when presented with an auditory list of instructions rather than a visual one. The purpose of the study, according to Mayer and…

ways to prevent, remedy, and demolish global warming and other detriments to the earth’s atmosphere. It is predicted that Canada will face a number of serious problems due to global warming, but at the same time, there are some extremely beneficial effects of this warming that will be good. The Canadian government is well aware of the impacts of global warming on Canada, but for the most part seems to focus its efforts on improving the economy and little on reducing our emissions that are…

Discovery as a process produces challenges, nevertheless can the impact of discovery be ultimately joyful? Simon Nasht’s documentary ‘Frank Hurley: The Man Who Made History’ (TMWMH) and Richard Flanagan’s ‘The Narrow Road to The Deep North’ (‘Narrow Road’) reveal that although discovery can create joy for some, it does not necessarily mean joy for all. These texts expose that challenges evoke and emotional discovery that can range from fulfilment to despair, rediscovery is completed in the hope…

Introduction Although, in general, salts are known for their solubility, not all types of salts completely dissociate in water. Some of them partially dissociates and creates a dynamic equilibrium due to the instances when their ions recombine to form the original salts. An example of this is potassium hydrogen tartrate (KHC4H4O6 or KHT). When KHT is placed in water, it partially dissolves and forms K+ and HC4H4O6- ions. This reaction is shown below: KHC_4 H_4 O_6 (s)⇄ K^+ (aq)+HC_4 H_4 O_6^-…

And in doing so, neglect to provide or implement solutions to reverse the effects. Climate change is everywhere and the effect of it on humans and animals has proven to be disastrous over the years. Nevertheless, we seem to continue to do nothing about it. Is the reason because we fail to see global warming as a problem because we are not staring death…

able to focus their memory search on target list, instead the individuals include items from non-target list into their mental search (Kliegl, et al., 2015, p.1778). In Kliegl et al., (2015) study, the results for retrieval factors suggest that PI effects in recall totals and response latencies were uncorrelated meaning that recall totals and response latencies can be functionally independent. The electrophysiological activities during list encoding indicates that not only retrieval, but also…

Despite the history and trend of climate change, many individuals still believe that climate change is not real and have asked the prominent question, “How do we know it is real?” In the scientific journal titled Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis the author writes about the trend of Carbon Dioxide (Figure 1A), Methane (Figure 1B), and Nitrous Oxide (Figure 1C). In figure 1A, 1B, and 1C there is an increase in Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide respectively, within the last…
