As matters continued to result in more problems due to the war, an Athenian citizen named, Dicaeopolis, decided to intervene and construct peace between the two opposing nations. Early on, Dicaeopolis decided to establish a private peace treaty with Godson, an immortal child of Demeter and Triptolemus, who was able to grant the deed.…

olas Gurski Dr. John Hepp History 101 June 10, 2016 Sir Isaac Newton and his Involvement in the Scientific Revolution Sir Isaac Newton, a renowned scientist known for a multitude of discoveries and inventions, was a critical factor in the Scientific Revolution. Sir Isaac Newton may not have made his contributions to the scientific revolution “from scratch,” he instead used prior discovered knowledge and made his own improved hypotheses which he later proved through experimentation. The…

The NHS is on the verge of collapse with paperwork and red tape piling up, leaving doctors and nurses less time to care for patients. Bureaucracy has existed since the establishment of the NHS in 1948 and attempts to reform this have gone in vain. The NHS promises to provide up to date services yet this is not always seen. In this essay, I will illustrate Friedrich von Hayek’s ideas of free markets and apply it to the issue of bureaucracy within the NHS. Hayek’s thesis was that socialism…

Projectiles, such as the ones shot from cannons, are affected by drag or air resistance. The amount of drag exerted on to an object is affected by many different factors, such as air density and the size of the projectile. It is important to understand drag, as it affects the distance an object is able to travel if it is not influenced by outside forces, such as a cannons projectile. The equation for drag is shown below. F=pCA/2 v^2 p = The density of the air. C = The drag coefficient of the…

Dog Intelligence Are dogs really that smart? If so, some scientist even believe that their 1.2 percent brain mass might be how intelligent they are. If you train your dog they can build immense vocabulary over time and your dog might even beat the record on how many words your dog knows. Dogs have many communication ways, a lot of behavioral affections, and even knowledge. To begin with, dogs communicate in many ways by using their nose, body language, sounds, verbal communication and,…

Roller coasters are a must see attraction in amusement parks around the world, even though they are a good source of entertainment not many are aware of how roller coasters actually function. Even though each and every roller coaster is unique all of them work under the same concept. Most roller coasters start out by ascending to a higher surface which is done to build up enough potential energy to power the carts throughout the entire ride.

John Watson is often described as the Father or creator of Behaviorism. Behaviorism focuses on tangible and evident information rather than introspection to gain knowledge about something. The opposition to mental feelings and other internal states is what Watson believed gives humans the ability to control behavior. The original definition of psychology, the study of the human mind and its functions, takes on a different viewpoint that focuses on describing experiences. Watson, however,…

Problems in the relationship between composer and public have been evident at least since the early years of the twentieth century. Some composers have alienated the listening public with their music, while others have sought to reach out to the public. In this paper, I will discuss some ups and downs of this issue through the course of the 20th century. I will then give my view on where we stand now in this issue with who, I think, are some popular genres and artists today. I will focus on…

society, we are affected by history from the past, which could be anything from World War II to the times of ancient Israel and the Savior’s ministry. The Parthenon is the former temple to the Goddess Athena and an ancient architectural structure from classical Greece. This relic has had that unseen impact on our society. Willey Reveley, an 18th century English architect, said that the Parthenon exhibited a “masculine boldness and dignity… the grandeur of whose effect… can scarcely be understood…
