In this paper, I will summarize and compartmentalize the main idea and arguments made by the philosopher Peter Singer in his excerpt from How Are We to Live called The Good life. Singer starts off the excerpt asking the audience why are we so connected for our kin, and later expounds on that question by asking why is it that we are people starting to care for strangers. These questions help birth the main idea of the excerpt which is the power of the brain and how it sets us apart from all other…

Communication is essential in developing relationships with people all around us and all over the world. There are too many…

nothing more than a stubborn Band-Aid that I tried to ignore, leaving it to cover the new reborn skin. What I didn’t realize was that I could only see the new skin after peeling off the Band-Aid. I was punished as a result of my actions, my cage of ego containing only a door sealed shut. My only goal was to remain stronger than the rest of my tribe, dying with a legacy and without a fear of being overthrown by what was once a cub I took care of. I thought, “what would that make me?’ but I had…

There are plenty of policies and laws in place that provide mental health services to individuals in our society. However, these mental health services are not necessarily required. The only institutions that seem to require some consistent type of mental health evaluation or service are mental institutions and prisons.

While comparing differences between behavioural lateralization between larvae and adults, it was expected that results from studies with larvae as test subjects would show variation in results. The variation in result was expected because larval stage of zebrafish develops really fast both morphologically and anatomically (Budaev & Andrew, 2009). However, the synthesis of behavioural lateralization in zebrafish literature states otherwise. The presence of inconsistency in results of adults can…

Through the combined principles of focus, repetition, recall, and conscious effort, retrieval learning promotes the long term storage of data. Such principles supply a driving force that propels students into an ongoing learning process that stimulates the brain on a neural level and with that ongoing stimulation improves the retaining of information. Retrieval learning can prove to be challenging, but through that challenge compels students to focus their full attention on the…
