Competitive exclusion principle

Joshua M. Ackerman, and John A. Bargh (2013) ran a social experiment and they proceeded to write an article of their studies, methods, and results. This article is entitled, “Superman to the rescue: Simulating physical invulnerability attenuates exclusion-related interpersonal biases”.

Each study produced different findings that were recorded and interpreted for the researcher’s information to see if their theory was…

At the Boys and Girls club, I gathered many samples of conversation. It surprised me how mature some of the students seemed whenever I talked to them after the haunted house. One example of this was when I told a group of second or third grade girls that I was laying on the floor in the locker room. The response that I received was “You were not, do you know what is on that floor! People these day laying on the floor that is disgusting!” I could not help but laugh because her response…

People are born into what they know best and think that is all that they know. The upper class society has better advantages to provide the people with the best of the best in a good education, great insurance, and less crime rates. Neighborhoods where poverty is around has a better chance of people not being given a good education, great insurance, and more crime is seen in these areas.

The other Wes Moore is a non fiction chronicling life of two African American boys whose life took a ridiculous degree of divergence. It presents story of two boys from low-income family with similar background, where one turns out to be a Rhodes scholar, while the other ends up in prison for armed robbery and murder. Writer does not pretend to know why this happened nor holds the belief that a single event was catabolic in creating this chain reaction. The story is mostly descriptive, and…

The element of design is too complex to be simply defined. It has numerous benefits; one particular benefit is that it helps solve contemporary social issues. Despite the different roles it has, "design has had one constant role throughout history as an agent of change that helps us to interpret changes of any type" (Rawsthorn, 2015). There are groups of people who make it their responsibility to use the benefits of design to find solutions to various problems in society; these people are called…

Low-income Children Defined According to a Health Affairs article, vulnerability can be best defined as being prone to harm, being of result from an interaction between the resources available to individuals and communities, and challenges in life that are faced. A vulnerable population can then be ambiguously indicated as “the disadvantaged sub-segment of the community requiring utmost care, specific ancillary considerations and augmented protections in research” (Shivayogi, 2013).…

Everyone has been to cinemas for at least several times, and I found all the movies which attract me most are those which can make me think and imagine afterwards. Seeing the sloth moving in a slow-motion in the movie Zootopia, I thought about the idea that all the government officers lack efficiency.
