Introduction: Trans as Dueling Definitions For a rather simple five-letter word, the prefix “trans” is given an awful lot of work to do. In current gender identity discussions and debates it is called upon as convenient shorthand to refer to the experience of living with/through a transcendent gender; any individual who identifies with that experience; a community comprised of such social actors; or any composite of these choices. Yet this pervasive Western liberal definition has not…

Article 1 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is better called master consulting detective Sherlock Holmes' founder. All these reports appeared within the String magazine from 1891 to 1927, several created by Sidney Paget's famous images in serialised form.

Series 1 was televised in the next sequence as well as in 2012, with recording of the third currently underway…

Breaking the Glass Ceiling Since day one, men have had the upper hand. They have the best job opportunities, more freedom, and less discrimination. Women, on the other hand, were forced into staying at home taking care of children or cooking the food. Now we are pushing those boundaries and fighting for women rights. Women have a barrier that they are fighting to break through. A very well-known term is the "glass ceiling." A term used when talking about an unofficially acknowledged barrier to…

After reading the article “Why Intro Psych is a tough course”, I began to analyze my current study habits and from the article gained new insights on ways to succeed in this course. My current study habits at the moment aren’t the greatest. At times I only study an hour for each of the four classes I take and sometimes I study with my kids…

I have recently been on 3rd week placement in a long-term care with a small dementia unit. This experience taught me that how music as a contemporary and alternative form of treatment on patients with dementia helps to ease the symptoms of depression and agitation. Research shows that music therapy promotes mind and body stimulations. It increases positive emotional response, and eventually enhances social engagement for patients with dementia (Raglio, Attardo, Gontero, Rollino, Groppo &…

In behalf of my belief in gaining important skills that are not taught in school I am arguing not to have summer homework. I personally have not had summer homework before but I know friends that have and from what they have told me it is very stressful. Summer is supposed to be a relaxing break after a long school year. The last thing us students want to think about is homework. Student’s summers are filled with other activities and having homework would build unnecessary stress to not only the…

Sherlock in Real Life While the Sherlock Holmes stories are made up in Conan Doyle’s head, there are many facts of reality in these stories. The inspirations of his characters were people in his actual life. The outfits that his characters wore were consistent with what was actually being worn in that time period and the people involved in crime solving in his stories were also involved in reality. The scenery and vehicles were also very similar. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born May 22, 1859 in…

get homework, they might not have the time to do it. Next of all, kids get lower scores on tests because sometimes kids end up forgetting.

First of all, kids need breaks from any work…

I am a sophomore at Kimberly High School who is concerned about the amount of homework students are getting each night. High school students are getting too much homework which causes large amounts of stress and prevents us from spending time with family. Over the last couple years I have been getting way more than I believe is necessary. I understand that teachers give homework for learning purposes, but the amount we receive a night is concerning. With the amount of homework students get,…
