The Adventures of Ibn Battuta follow the travels of Ibn Battuta from Morocco through much of Africa, Arabia, Anatolia, Central and Southeast Asia, India, and China as he searches for an Islamic judicial position. Based on his accounts in the Rihla, each city he goes to and each person he meets is highlighted in the book. I think that Ross Dunn’s goal is to give a clear picture of the Islamic world through Ibn Battuta’s journey. I agree with almost everything of what Danny Yee says in his book…

Section 1.2 The alternative: physicalism The idea that everything is physical is not always obvious; what reasons do we have to believe that everything in the natural world is made from physical things? And what do we mean by physicalism? Let us answer the second question, and then prepare the way to answer the first question. Papineau (1993) suggests that physicalism is “the thesis that all natural phenomena are, in a sense to be made precise, physical” (Papineau, 1993, p. 1). Natural…

23.The Correspondence Theory of the Truth is probably the simplest, and most intuitive theory of truth out there. P is true iff p corresponds to a fact. P is false iff, p does not correspond to any fact; So the truth ‘scorpion is venomous’ is true iff there is some fact about the world that corresponds to that statement. A truth bearer is true iff it bears a specific part of reality. There is relationship between the proposition and it’s corresponding the fact. 24. The coherence theory of…

Defining Psychobiography: Psychohistory can be divided into two distinct branches, psychobiography which deals with the study of individuals; and group psychohistory which deals with the psychological characteristics of groups such as the Nazi youth cohort, American slaves, or Hiroshima survivors (Lifton 1967; Loewenberg 1971)(As cited by Runyan 1988). Psychohistory can be simply defined as the application of psychology to history, with an associated definition of psychobiography as the use of…

The brain and how it functions is largely complex and holds within various phenomena. One such phenomenon is known as the Stroop Task. The Stroop Task poses a seemingly undemanding challenge, yet reaction times and accuracy are noticeably, negatively affected when compared to the skills found within it and the trend holds true for even the most competent of brains. The test is designed to assess whether being shown a color word that is a separate color and then being asked to name the color of…

In the poem “Sci-Fi” by Tracy K. Smith, demonstrates how the youth of America is only aware of artificial existence. She presents this dependency of technology through her use of simile, repetition, and allusions. The title “Sci-Fi” demonstrates the entire perspective of the modern world. Smith had the possibility of naming the poem “Science Fiction” but a reason why she abbreviated the title paints an image on how society is becoming sluggish. In this modern era society depends entirely on…

sample, the author decided to find the aggregate weighted average effect of the twenty sample networks. Instead of using a graph or images to represent the results, the authors decided the most efficient method to present the data result would be using a well-labeled table. The author uses this method because the table style will provide them a way to display their data visually without any confusion. The table is broken into six columns; each represents a different category: “hypothesis,…

“Allegory of the Cave” was written by Greek philosopher, Plato. Plato successfully pursued his mentor, Socrates, as his dialogues and writings became well known in society today. The cave in this excerpt can be interpreted into many many ideas. Based on “Allegory of the Cave,” the cave in the passage represents lack of knowledge (lecture 2015) since the prisoners believed that the shadows of objects were the true form. Moreover, my cave would be my parents and their perspective on appearance…

The activity that I chose to do with the second grade students was an activity the measured their ability of moderate and vigorous, but also their ability of memorizing the centers they had to chose once they got tag by a classmate. For some, the activity was easy for them because the centers were color coordinated with signs. The students that were not at the second grade level development had challenges remembering the centers. The five students were engaged in the activity and trying their…

There are many research approaches available in psychology. Experimental and correlational research designs are just two of the various approaches taken into consideration for researchers. Each approach is useful and practical when applied to the appropriate situation. Though the approaches are used in different scenarios and are different in definition, they also share some similarities. Experimental research design focus is towards testing hypotheses, cause and effect relationships, and…
