Classical antiquity

This past month, I read the novel A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. After choosing this piece, I did a little research on the author and his work. To my surprise, A Clockwork Orange is a classic novel that has been widely acclaimed. In 1971, the novel was even translated into the film industry by Warner Brothers Company. The movie skyrocketed book sales throughout the world and thus the film adaptation cemented the book even further to the top of the acclaimed reading list. Anthony Burgess…

Milaya Ruffin Mr. Simmons Biology October 14, 2016 Research Many people have gone on roller coasters, but have they really thought about how they work? All of the tosses and turns. How does it stay on the track? How does it slow down? How does it speed up? Slow and clanking, the string of cars is pulled up to the highest point of a roller coaster. One by one, the cars start going downhill on the other side, until gravity kicks into action and the full weight of the train is going down into…

Roderick T Long’s article entitled, “Corporations versus the Market; or, Whip Conflation Now” explores the link between the free market and the rise of big business and corporations. Specifically, Long questions the motives of libertarian free market advocates of simultaneously legitimizing plutocratic corporations.

Milton Friedman, a conservative economist that was most popular in the later part of the twentieth century, wrote many books and studies on the free market. In his piece, “Free to Choose,” Friedman outlined that the free market should be protected to create more growth for society. Though I agree that Friedman makes some excellent points, I believe that his approach to creating freedom is not worth the price of inequality that comes with it. The major dilemma being discussed in this article is…

are classical and baroque style music. Although “classical” is now a common term to describe instrumental music, it is actually a time period for music: mid-1700s to the mid-1800s. The most common composer and the one used in the studies ahead is Mozart. Just before that, from 1600 to 1750 was the Baroque period, the most common composer is Bach (Johnson, 1). Although there are many other types of music, these two provided the basics and the startup for what is being discussed: how classical and…

The aim of this assignment is to discuss how nature and nurture applies to attachment by applying the principles of behaviourism. An attachment is an enduring, two-way, emotional tie to a specific other person usually between a parent and a child which develops in set stages within a fairly rigid timescale (Lawton, et al, 2011. p. 39). Whereas behaviourism is a belief that behaviours can be measured, trained and changed (Cherry, 2010). In psychology, there are two aspects that determine people…

The influence of the Greeks has greatly impacted the world. Present day humans still use the same ideas the Greeks had during their time. America was greatly inspired to incorporate their existence into our government, buildings, literature, and even thinking! Some of the biggest ideas the United States used from the Greeks are the city-states, the famous Apology, and the great Parthenon. It is amazing that a civilization impacted so many and ended around 338 B.C.E. I will explain how ancient…

A Three Second Memory? There is a common belief that fish only have a three second memory and that they cannot be trained to compete tricks, and this may be caused by the short lifespan of some species of fish, making testing for long term memory difficult (Reebs, 2008, p.1). Moreover, many assume that goldfish do not have a memory since goldfish always seem like they are hungry, since they are always seen foraging for food. However, as a long time goldfish owner, I have witnessed my goldfish…

were very peculiar because they seemed normal to the naked eye. But after analyzing it more closely we saw a few different types of conditions being present. The types of condition that were perceived were classical conditioning, operant conditioning and observational learning. To start off, classical conditioning is “A type of learning in which a neutral stimulus acquires the ability to evoke a response that was originally evoked by another stimulus.” To put in simple terms, if Becky were to go…
