Distance

Essay on “Time and Distance Overcome” In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated his telephone that helped people communicate over longer distance. However, with this invention also followed multiple problems. Problems which Eula Biss’ essay “Time and distance overcome” from 2008, recounts. In the essay she focusses on the different aspects of the telephone and especially the telephone pole, and why the history of the telephone pole might not be as stainless as one might think The essay is…

Distant learning is becoming a more popular way of learning. Is distant learning a good thing or a bad thing. Barszcz in “Can you be Educated from Distance” gives examples of both advantages and disadvantages of distant learning. Imagine you getting your degree in and never going to college. “Preparing yourself as a students, more than other, for lifelong learning- for their jobs,their careers and their personal growth.”(Barszcz 160) In agreement with Barszcz distant learning has many…

In Mexico during the early 1980’s, a group of young siblings living in poverty tell an important story of the immigrant experience and the drives behind migration. Reyna Grande’s, The Distance Between Us, is a memoir written with the recurring appeal to the reader’s pathos. Grande uses the rhetorical strategy to keep the reader’s interest and to help them make personal connections to the story. Grande’s use of pathos helps to show not only the importance of understanding the immigrant experience…

Exploration: Research Question: How does the travel distance of light waves affect the distance between the constructive interference fringes in the Double Slit experiment? Personal Engagement/Topic: Light is seen everywhere, artificial and natural. It is so common, that no one really questions it. But what is light made of? Intuitively, I would answer that visible light is a particle. It makes sense, doesn’t it? The photon from the source shoots into the eye’s retina, and the eye’s rods and…

The two graphs of the distance vs. time graph along with the velocity vs. time graph, accurately supports the hypothesis formed at the beginning of this experiment. From the interpretation of the first graph, the chart vaguely shows the changing velocity (acceleration) as well as positive velocity of the objects motion (as seen from the slight curve upwards). However, from another perspective, it might seem as if the diagram is showing a constant, positive velocity as the line is linear with no…

the experiment succeeded in demonstrating free-fall by dropping a tennis ball. Distance and time were documented to calculate velocity and acceleration, the quantities involved in linear kinematics. Graph 1 (distance vs. time) suggests a commonsensical relation - longer distance yields longer time. The only exception is at 1.0 m, where its time value (0.42 s) is less than that of a shorter distance (0.5s for 0.5 m distance). Average time was used to construct the graph, and there were only three…

The dimension of power distance in Hofstede’s cultural framework deals with the fact that all individuals in societies are not equal, and tests countries to see how a society handles inequality among their people. Bhutan has a higher level of power distance in comparison to Japan. Bhutan is run by a traditional regime with authoritarian attributes. They follow a strict traditional caste system, which governs the way their hierarchical society operates. This was seen in the video where poorer…

3. 1.Variables In this topic there are two main variables the independent variable being the face to face contact sessions and the dependent variable being the academic performance of the students in an open distance learning system. 3.2.The independent variable Face to face contact sessions ,these are the interactions that may occur between the students and tutors or lectures or other college staff who assist them in whatever the field of…

The story “Time and Distance Overcome,” by Eula Biss Is about the invention of the telephone. It was like the first man landing on the moon, no one thought it could ever be done. It was amazing how the United States of America could be connected by long wires. When a positive thing appears something negative comes along with it. Black people were hung on these poles for real, or rumored crimes. For example, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, a black man charged with kicking a white girl was hung on a…

Online education is a convenient way for traditional and non-traditional students to earn a diploma, certificate or degree. Online education or “distance learning” first began through shorthand classes being offered via mail. As technology progressed, television and radio were used for mediums as well. In 1981, the Western Behavioral Sciences Institute 's School of Management and Strategic Studies began offering a computer based learning program. With this new way of earning a degree comes the…
