Objective The purpose of the experiment is to synthesize a compound with an organometallic iron-carbon bond and use infrared spectroscopy to investigate the unconventional sandwich structure. In addition, the experiment aims to understand pi-bonding of an arene ring, use cyclic voltammetry to understand the redox capacity of ferrocene, and explore the barriers between formal inorganic and organic chemistry definitions. Introduction Ferrocene was discovered unintentionally in 1949 when Miller…
1. Apparently Nixon had a falling and rising career. One of his personality traits was anger. “Nixon was only one of the most hated figures of his time, and yet he was also the only man who was elected twice as Vice President and twice as President” (Freidrich, 334). President Nixon’s personality is serious, angry, and forceful. He had high expectations from everyone he worked with and if he didn’t get what he wanted. Most likely he was going to have something to say and it wasn’t going to be…
On August 8, 1974, President Richard Nixon became the first President to resign from his position. He was facing impeachment and criminal trial for the Watergate Scandal. With no where to turn and his options run out, Nixon gave his last speech as President, where he resigned and apologized to the nation. Nixon’s resignation speech does not meet the expectations of a fitting response, as defined by Lloyd Bitzer, for the rhetorical situation he was in following the Watergate scandal. Nixon…
The Watergate incident simultaneously had the three results of changing the American people’s public view of the president, the relationship between the government and media, and the media from a somewhat collaborative to competitive industry. These all contributed to several areas of exploration. On June 17, 1972, five men were taken into custody for the act of burglary. They were found lurking inside the Democratic National Committee headquarters which was in Washington D.C. inside the…
Today, the word Watergate carries more meaning than that of the hotel in Washington DC. The word also represents the political scandal that brought down Richard Nixon's presidency and caused him to resign. However, he did not resign on his own, he resigned following impeachment charges brought against him. This left many wondering whether Nixon could actually be impeached by Congress for his crimes. Impeachable offenses are outlined in the United States Constitution article 4 section 2. Under…
The U.S. is said to have undergone a transformation of political culture in the early 1970’s. The Watergate hotel break-in at the Democratic campaign headquarters led directly to the White house. In 1972, President Nixon was seeking a second term and was facing Democrat George Mcgovern. Nixon was unsure that he would be re-elected, so he put in place several groups of specialized unlawful men to gather and uncover as much information that he could use against his opponent and party. Cover-ups,…
Individual Project 1 In the editorial “Watergate: The Unfinished Business” the focal points are what was accomplished during the Watergate (The Washington Post Co., 1973). The debate was centered on what more could have been accomplished (The Washington Post Co., 1973). The article argues that Nixon on met the minimum requirements during Watergate (The Washington Post Co., 1973).

In the scope of the Freudian theory of psychology, the Oedipus complex is a sexual desire of involvement with the parent of the opposite sex while having an associated rivalry with the parent of the same sex. The name derives from Oedipus, King of Thebes in Ancient greek mythology. Oedipus was born into the Theban royal family, abandoned, and unknowingly adopted by the Corinthian Royal Family. Upon hearing the Oracle of Delphi’s tell him that he was fated to slay his father and marry his mother,…

Previous studies found that people in the Western individualistic societies are becoming increasingly narcissistic. (Foster, Campbell, & Twenge, 2003; Twenge & Foster, 2010). Narcissism is a condition when person focuses solely on the quest for personal superiority (Bushman & Baumeister, 2002). Otto Kernberg (as cited in Lowen, 2012, p.6) identifies narcissists as individuals with various combinations of intense ambitiousness, grandiose fantasies and overdependence on external admiration.
