In today’s world, we are so wrapped up with what is on our phones or devices that we often don’t focus on the world around us. Go to any restaurant and you will see couples not even talking to each other, but rather sitting there being alone together. They’ll sit in silence, not even exchanging words or glances until the food comes to the table or something else happens that sparks conversation. What is it about our phones that we are so enamored by? Perhaps it’s social media or messaging others…

Beyond its nutritional and biological function, food has another crucial purpose in human life. Food is a fundamental component in fulfilling social needs. The appropriate food can make or break business negotiations, express romance and affection on anniversaries, or simply mark the trivial, yet sentimental bimonthly coffee date had with a lifelong friend. In this context, food is symbolic of “comfort, home, and love” (Anderson 83). A tool that allows the optimization of sociability, which is…

The article An introduction to strategic communication, by Gail Fann Thomas and Kimberle J. Stephens, discusses the emerging style of communication known as strategic communication. This is a relatively new branch that is being studied, lying somewhere on the crossroads of management strategies and communication. There is much disagreement on the definition and boundaries of this field of study, so the article instead chooses to explore it by using three lenses: strategy, communication theory,…

Previous studies have delved into the characteristics of social relationships at different points across the life span. Some research has focused on young adulthood (Lansford, Yu, Pettit, Bates, & Dodge, 2014) while others focused on middle-aged adults (Carmichael, Reis, & Duberstein, 2015), while others focused on older adults (Wrosch, Rueggeberg, & Hoppmann, 2013). The different studies that will be reviewed use socio-emotional selectivity theory (Carstenen, 1995) as a framework for examining…

National interests of the United States are traditional state-based, as no other threat has potential to derail our way of life. With state-based threats being the greatest threat to National security, policymakers must first approach international relations from a realist perspective. China 's moves to potentially reject international law demonstrate that power rules in an anarchic world. Despite this rejection of international law, China has created a security dilemma for themselves,…

Treatments Studies of pica show that there has been very little amounts of investigation done based on community-based research for people with pica (Gravestock, 2008). In other words, there has been little research done on individuals with pica whom do not live in an institutional setting and live within their communities. In order for an intervention to be a successful treatment, it must diminish the behavior 70%-90% from the baseline (Williams & McAdam, 2012). This successful treatment…

The self is a person 's being and what distinguishes them from others. It is what lets people know that they are separate from other people, who they are, and how they interact socially with others. The self is hard to describe because scientists can not pinpoint any part of the body to what makes up the self. Because the self is so hard to clearly define it is broken down into three main parts: self-knowledge, public self, and agent self. Self-knowledge is the awareness of beliefs that people…

However, these methods of media have been a part of the continuing cycle of prejudice like behavior that has been corrupting the mass media arena for as long as one can…
