Dormancy

“The Chrysanthemums” by John Steinbeck examines a moment in the life of Elisa Allen, house wife and gardener. The story tells of Elisa’s experience with a traveling tinkerer who aims to earn a bit of money repairing their pots and pans. While the interaction with the man does not last long, it awakens something in Elisa that she had long put to bed. Steinbeck masterfully captures the suppressive life of an American wife in the 1930’s with realistic style. The story beings on a hazy December…

Plants produce oxygen and other materials that humans use by using energy from the sun. Most people need to care about our environment and our treatings with plants and other producers because it can harm our species and it would mostly harm more endangered wildlife…

When some imagine a world dominated by The National Socialist party of Germany, they imagine a horrible dystopian future split into three tripartite factions by the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis.

The reality of an Axis victory is far more complex. While this alternate fascist dominated world would…

have taken place such as spring starting earlier and other seasonal pattern shifts. It is important to realize this because plants and animals use what is called photoperiod, which is essentially a clock that they use for migration, reproduction, dormancy, and other things (Rassmann, Pellissier, Defossez, Jactel, Kunstler 2014). If animals and plants were to lose the correct timing of this clock it could cause a problem for that animal or plant. It has been noticed that animals such as British…

The Fourth Amendment is a great representation of the freedoms that the founders of the United States sought to establish in this country. This same freedom plays a key role in shaping every day police work as well as cases in court. These same ideals have also caused some hardship for law enforcement officers that neglect to yield to proper procedure. Some aspects that have been created from that very ideal allow criminals to avoid prosecution due to technicalities. Yet, the Fourth Amendment…

nurturing of gender norms in the administrative politics. Notably, there has been a weak Russian women’s movement after 1990 and during the rule of Putin, a situation that facilitated the use of sexual politics to thrive unnoticeably.

need for massive industrial support as conflict focuses on smaller, faster units and the dawn of more integrated multinational military operations.

The Lion King A seemingly innocent Disney movie that follows a lion cub through a journey of heartache, adventure, and acceptance of responsibility is actually a portrayal of the overcoming of Freud’s theoretical Oedipus Complex.

Simba’s uncle Scar encourages Simba to “run away and never return”(The Lion King). The finale is a fight between Scar and Simba to see who claims…

consciousness relates to the outer world which regards the physical body as the self. Dream consciousness refers to mental images constructed from memories and regards the dream body as the self. Deep and dreamless sleep consciousness rests in a state of dormancy not split between the subject and the object.
