Complexity

Ishmael Beah’s memoir A Long Way Gone is appropriate for the Sterling high school English IV curriculum because Beah makes use of the complexity of ideas and creates connections to the real world. Markedly, the use of the complexity of ideas makes the memoir well rounded, and better reading material than many other pieces. Accordingly, after Beah and his friends leave the first village after seeing it destroyed, they run into one problem: food. They begin to starve and Beah’s simile represents…

Hanson believes that reducing defense spending while increasing entitlements dooms the United States to follow Athens, Rome and Byzantium into the dustbin of history. His premise that “nations that choose butter over guns atrophy and die” appeals to military officers and is potentially acceptable and consistent. You cannot defend a nation nor project power with butter! But applying critical thinking to the Hanson article reveals a number of “thinking shortcomings”. He fails to successfully…

Despite Freud’s vast contributions to psychology, “it is unlikely that one theory can ever fully capture the complexity of human psychology or development,” (Hall 110). Hall advises that it is not possible to completely analyze complicated texts of literature or character through a single lens perspective, implying that Freud’s ideas alone are not enough to understanding human behavior in full depth. In his article, “The psychodynamic approach: in this column we give principal and senior…

Escaping the Inescapable It is proven that you cannot tickle yourself because your brain distinguished between unexpected external touch and your own touch. The complexity of the human brain cannot be measured, which is why the brain is so unique to me. One day my uncle sporadically contracted an incurable and fatal brain disease that causes the brain to degenerate rapidly. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease was the name; a rare, but unique disease it is. Some say it is the granddaddy of all…

A recent study on Mars’s geology causes a paradigm shift to researchers’ perspective of the red planet. Felsic rocks that thought to not exist on Mars are now identified. Overall, these findings alter the understanding of the geologic complexity and magmatic activity of Mars. Prior knowledge of Mars’s geology was rather simple; consisting of one type of rock formation in contrast to Earth’s diverse and complex geology. Felsic rocks such as granite, are common in subduction zones on Earth (Wray…

The word “system” in the criminal justice system is itself misleading. In criminal justice, there is a certain amount of sanity in the operation; their planning of criminal justice agencies is unplanned, poorly coordinated, and unregulated. The system is always functioning when individual people work together as a team in an organized and methodical manner. However, the system does not work the way it's supposed to work. In criminal justice agencies, the need for cooperation and coordination…

The difference between covering insecurities and exposing other aspects suggests the complexity of teenage life and the pressure to follow societal expectations while seeking individuality. This supports the author's conclusion that traditional public schooling is a place where students must navigate conflicting desires of fitting in and…

Sex is the biological distinction between males and females marked by genitalia, and sexual orientation is a preference of romantic partners based on attraction. Gender is a social construct designed to use behaviors and characteristics to define individuals as men and…
