Operant conditioning is one type of learning behaviour theory that developed by B. F. Skinner in 1938. It is a behaviour designed to people in a way that will gain something desired or avoiding something unpleasant. It is also known as Law of Effect. Furthermore, learning behaviour is controlled by the consequences of the behaviour itself which are reinforcement or punishment. Besides, both consequences have their own positive and negative event which will result new behaviour development in…

proposes the idea of separation of powers, where each branch of government would be mostly independent. In his proposition, branches could not set each other’s salaries and no one would have too much power in assigning members to other branches (Emmett). Because he found the legislative branch a little too powerful in their lawmaking, Madison said that it would be split into two parts, the House and Senate, with different election strategies in each part. This would prevent the legislative…

My mother drove me to the airport, the windows rolled down and the 75 degree air mixing in the car. I was wearing a white sleeveless shirt and a pair of light blue shorts. I had a small jacket in my bag for when I got off the plane, some books and my small iPod. I was moving to Forks; a small town in the north part of Washington state. I haven’t been there in years, not since I was 13 to be exact. It was the town where my dad (Charlie) lived, I used to spend summers with him, but I haven’t in…

The story of Emmett Till illustrates the brutal nature of racism, and showcases the frightening capacity for hate and violence that a racist society possesses. After a long day of picking cotton, Till and a group of teenagers went into a grocery store for refreshments…

If you asked multiple people what they thought of history and history books they might say, It’s boring…those books are filled with bias opinions. Well Danielle L. McGuire’s book, At the Dark End of the Street, is defiantly not boring. Reading this book helps me better understand the role African American women had, and how it was so important. This is a book mentions not only the struggles African Americans had during the civil rights movement, but the struggles women faced specifically. You…

the fight to end segregation, discrimination, and to earn the rightful freedoms for his fellow minorities in the United States of America. The series went over many events from the 60’s such as Rosa Park’s refusal to give her seat to a white person, Emmett Till’s brutal murder for allegedly whistling at a white women, the Birmingham Bombing, along with John Lewis’ personal life, his protests at the sit-in counters, and his position as the president of the Student NonViolent Coordinating…

I was reminded of the nostalgia film series, Back to the Future, when Nike recently unveiled their self-lacing shoe as a community tribute to the actor, Michael J. Fox, who played the infamous time traveler character in the movies known as Marty McFly. Having watched the movies as a child with my father a handful of times and hearing about the new shoes, I realized how our technology is vastly advancing to meet the movie’s reality with our growing technology. Think about it, we have Elon Musk to…

The title of my book is Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in the Twilight series. Breaking Dawn is a work of pure fiction, written by Stephenie Meyer. Most of the story takes place in Forks, Washington, Bella and Edward’s new cottage in the woods, and Isle Esme, which is Bella and Edward’s honeymoon spot. The story doesn’t give a specific time date, but it most likely takes place during present time. Bella Swan is 18 years old in this book of the series and was 18 years old when she was turned and…

from Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, stating that separate, segregated facilities were inherently unequal. Other important events such as Sarah Keys v. Carolina Coach Company, Rosa Parks refusal to give up her seat, and the brutal murder of Emmett Till in 1955 increased the support for the movement. During this time period, Martin Luther King Jr. rose to prominence starting with the boycott of Montgomery’s buses. In 1957, it seemed like the movement had achieved many of its goals with…

story just so he doesn’t have to grade tons of boring argumentative essays with generic topics. Either way, I believe that Mr. Tawney’s actions, whether real or falsified, were not correct and only justifiable to himself. Even in a survey done by Emmett de Kanter, a clear 16 out of 22 students did not feel comfortable with Mr. Tawney's actions and would not even eat the pasta where he had poured his baked ziti back into. The general public has…
