I seemed to float not into clearness, but into a darker obscure… of his being perhaps innocent. It was for the instant confounding…for if he were innocent, what then on earth was I? Paralyzed while it lasted…I suffered, feeling that I had nothing now there to keep him from.” (James 166) The way you don’t really know why Miles got expelled from school? That maybe the…

considering gymnosperms as a group and when the group is split into separate lineages. One downfall of their analysis is, however, that the varying availability of land approaching the equator was not taken into account, which would perhaps be a confounding factor.

Despite the species richness of gymnosperms decreasing as latitudes…

Teletransportation, death or travel? Teletransportation, death or travel?

The Effects of Body Piercings and Tattoos on Youth Sexual Behavior Body piercings and tattoos have become commonplace among many adolescents and young adults. Their mainstream use has been popularized through the media, music and sports, and have been seen as a way of expressing social identity, culture, and individuality (Guéguen, 2012). This may explain why the overall acceptance of tattoos has increased. This study looked at the relationship between having tattoos and/or body piercings and…

concluding that “even though theological and social differences between Catholicism and Protestantism have decreased, Catholics are still less likely than Protestants to commit or accept suicide. This difference holds even after we control for such confounding factors as social and religious networks,” and “once social factors like church attendance or importance of family are controlled for, Protestants are more likely to be accepting of the suicide option,” (Torgler). This study is supported…

Young infants are characterised by extreme egocentrism as they only see the world through the frame of their own senses, they are therefore not able to form mental representations (schema) of objects. Object permanence can be defined as the ability to understand that even if an object is no longer perceptible, it continues to exist. We can ask…
