In time, my father remarried to a nasty woman with two unbearable daughters that found joy in pestering me. Although my new step sisters were indeed very pretty, they had evil souls. My step mother did nothing to stop them, instead egged them on and even replaced all of…

The domino effect continued when my now ex best friend got a new best friend whose name was conveniently Gabby, just like mine. Thankfully, middle schoolers can only hold a two-week memory span and the domino effect of misfortune moved away from me when an eighth grader stole a sixth graders…

In the “Kitty” Genovese Case in 1964, New York City, Catherine “Kitty” Genovese was brutally murdered on her way home. She screamed for help as she was attacked, raped, and…

studying will more than likely listen to their preferred genre, and this may or may not impact their studying.

Alphabet Energy Matt Scullin is the PhD student in UC Berkeley and he has high interests in thermoelectric technology. In his academic career, he found that the traditional way of power generating wastes about 60% energy. While with the thermoelectric technology people can generate electricity from wasted heat and it can improve efficiency in 10% to 25%. By using his own technology, Matt started a company called alphabet energy and producing superior thermoelectric device. He narrowed his…

thinks Global warming isn’t happening (Climate Change In The American Mind). This is mind-blowing since 97 percent of publishing climate scientist agree that human activity has affected the Earth’s climate they also agree that we are seeing the effects of climate change now (Climate Change In The American Mind). We as humans have a moral obligation to take care of the only Earth we have. We owe it to future generations to leave them a planet that will not only…

chance you’ll help or get help. However, if you are with multiple bystanders, you’ll only be 30% likely to retrieve help. (Burkley, 2009) This phenomenon is known as the Bystander effect. This happens when a group of people see that something is wrong, but don’t help. This paper will delve into why the bystander effect occurs and how people can actively stop it from occurring. Many psychologists such as Latane and Bibb have researched extensively into this terrible phenomenon. It will go into…

Due to the nature of the data, a main effect for Body part could not be calculated. The interaction between response and body part was not statistically significant F (4,76) = 2.53, p= .05. Inspection of the means indicates that participant’s responses in the wrist-forearm condition (low acuity)…

In the contemporary society, people do not only focus on the behavior merely but also pay more…

annually in the United States alone (Hayes et al, 2010). Atrazine is used so frequently because it is cheap and it increases crop yield. However, it has been found that atrazine in levels even as low as 2 ppb (parts per billion) can have adverse effects on the reproductive systems of many vertebrates, which includes humans (Hayes et al, 2010). According to Hayes et al’s research (2010), 10% of male African clawed frogs that were induced with 2.5 ppb of Atrazine became females. These feminized…
