Cortical processes could distort memory as the cortical network that capitalizes on such contextual information is suggested to connect the portrayal of related objects such that visually perceiving an object will activate the visual representations of related objects. For example when one sees a fork they would link it…

almost never a pain in the butt—except when they are naughty, but they are so easy to forgive. I just remembered the time when Skai stole a meat roast from a counter at our friends' home when they were dog-sitting. Ooops! When it comes to people, forgetting and forgiving can sometimes be hard, but interacting with others makes us learn and…

relationship are more capable to form these relationships outside their families, with other children and adults. Modeling is a fundamental but often overlooked factor in a child's development.

made up of an array of qualities. Dehumanization is the process of depriving humans of their qualities, to make them feel and/or behave like they are less than what they are. Humans are capable of recalling memories, and many times, incapable of forgetting them because some experiences can make them unrecognizable. In Night by Elie Wiesel, the Nazis dehumanized the Jewish people through too many traumatic ways that leave them with nothing but suffer and numbness. Nazi methods physically,…

As one of the main goals for the play, JB Priestley presents his socialist views as keeping everyone as ‘one body’, and aims to reflect that through the ideologies of the Inspector.

This is a re-post of something I had previously written. It's not about Kaepernick per say, but my response to a story about BLM wanting reparations. Still, I think it applies to Kaepernick and to the problems I see with his victim mentality and skewed perception of reality that are prevalent in the African American community.
