Dear City Council Member Mark Squilla, I’m writing to you today because of my concern about the way SEPTA runs. Many philadelphia citizens take public transportation daily. We trust that the system will get us to our destination. I have seen that recently over a couple of years that people feel angered by SEPTA. I think the anger comes from the delays, the detours, the wait time and the physical condition of the buses and trains. The buses are old and do not run very fast at times. The…

The cell is at rest at -70mV and as it gets more positive, it reaches threshold (gets more excited). This change in electrical potential also excites neighboring sodium and potassium channels to open up in a chain reaction, which is known as the action potential. Because the sodium influx at the beginning is faster than the outflux of potassium, the inside of axon at the beginning of the excitation is negative while the outside is positive. But a little after the first sodium and potassium ion…

strike. Since mostly everyone was anxious during the whole strike the government thought it was finally time to take a stand.

The Massacre in Ludlow, Colorado In the early 1900s, labor issues in the United States were becoming more of a problem that people acknowledged and began to respond against. During this time, the western part of America was flowing with business; including many labor intensive jobs such as mining and laying railroad tracks. Although these jobs were often dangerous and exhausting, desperate men were willing to work under poor conditions just to care for their families. Eventually workers began…

I need my brain to know when to move. When playing volleyball, I need to be able to move around in order to get to where the ball had been hit. In order to do this my brain uses neurons to transmit signals to my body that allows me to make quick motions. Sensory neurons send messages from my muscles and sensory organs, like my eyes and ears, to my brain and spinal cord. My brain then processes that message and sends a response back to my muscles via motor neurons. If, for instance, one of my…

particular outgroup. On an emotional level, a person experiences intense feelings, positive or negative, that are aroused because of their beliefs about a group. On the action-orientation level, a person can have very strong feelings which lead them to engage in discriminatory behavior for or against a group.
