1 The Crazy Little Girl! “Allison” What are you doing on top of the fridge? By the time I was two. I loved to climb absolutely everything I could get on like stools, the fridge, the back of the toilet, the kitchen table, and the counter tops to name a few. As you can tell I was kind of wild child who kept my mom busy by trying to keep me off of everything. I guess by now you can tell I acted like a monkey It was extremely hot day on June 24, 1997 when I decided to be born into this world. I…

Does Violence in Video Games Influence Violent Behavior? The video game industry is the fastest growing entertainment industry the world has ever seen. In 2015, it was worth over $90 billion, more than double the international film industry. But video games have also become one of the most polarizing forms of entertainment or media to date. Their fans love them and simply cannot get enough, while their detractors’ ire seems to know no end. As with any form of media that contains…

Have you ever been blamed for something repeatedly and it is never you fault? This is called a scapegoat. “The Lottery” written by Shirley Jackson is a story based on a town who conducts an annual lottery. Jackson, the author, wrote this story to entertain the audience. “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” written by Flannery O 'Connor is also a story written to entertain the audience. The story is about a family who takes a family road trip. In “The Lottery” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” the…

means there is a disconnect in the scientific community. Throughout this course I have started to question everything I thought I knew about evolution and what it truly means to be a human. I used to believe the idea of evolution was as simple as caterpillar morphing into a butterfly, but as turns out I was wrong, the evolution of species is way more complicated than that and its history is much richer as well. Evolutionary anthropology is defined as the study of the changes in human physiology,…

play (Brown et al. 2000; Kearns 2010). Fine motor skills, including the ability to release objects with precision and control, and using fingers separately are developed through activities such as digging and building with sand, gently handling caterpillars or other insects, and joining building blocks (Kearns 2010). In addition, perceptual motor skills, primarily, hand-eye and foot-eye coordination, static and dynamic balance are enhanced during ball games, balancing on beams, walking on sand…

to the hips (USA 20). Use the legs to frog kick and break the surface before 15-meters. The breaststroke is hard for many people to do; the trick is to create a rhythm. When done correctly, the body should be moving through the water like a caterpillar on a twig. For each pull there should be one kick, and both sets of limbs must stay together. This stroke takes hours of practice to accomplish, but after understanding it, the breaststroke is very easy. Most females are better at this…

I asked several people the question “what is money?” and the responses I got were all very different. Several people gave the obligatory “cash” answer I was expecting, but some answers were more insightful than others. My waiter at a local restaurant, Michael Sovik, eloquently answered, “Money is paper currency with value backed by the U.S. government”. He then went on to say that he didn’t really understand how we are able to do that, and when asked about the derivative market he stated he had…

The Impact of Movies on the General Public Movies are an unparalleled communication channel that effectively informs and entertains an audience through elaborate stories and experiences. They occupy a place in American pop-culture through their ability to evoke emotions that facilitate the bonding of friends and families. The most contradictory debate concerning movies is found in their ability to influence people’s behaviors and expectations in everyday life. Some argue that movies’ sole…

each song is a slow progression from an abusive, wealthy consumer to a wiser man who understands the good he can do with his power and influence. At the beginning of his album, Lamar blatantly abuses his power: he is a carless, all consuming “caterpillar” (Mortal Man). Lamar “abusing [his] power” is an idea that is conveyed through the repeated imagery of wealth alongside…
