I can probably guess what you are thinking…. “Tequila’s?” Well, yes. When we first discussed the observation and the different places to do it, I was stumped. I thought for many days about somewhere I could do my observation where I felt comfortable, I was not in an unfamiliar area, I did not know much about it, and I could really enjoy my experience. Finally, it hit me! Tequila’s Discoteque… simply known as Tequila’s. So many people I know eat there and have invited me numerous times, but I…

Critical evaluation of “Rethinking the psychology of tyranny: The BBC prison study” This essay will try to illustrate what are the strengths and the weaknesses of Reicher and Haslam’s experiment and whether the strengths outweigh the weaknesses. Indeed, both researchers came together to understand how individuals can accept, in a group environment, behaviours that are tyrannical whether the individual is the one who inflicts it or undergoes it (Reicher & Haslam, 2006). This experiment, base its…

Introduction The purpose of this study is to learn how and to what extent bilingualism in early childhood (from ages 0-5) affects cognitive intelligence later in a person’s life as reflected by the academic performance at the university level. This an important and relevant topic for human development and education as schools are becoming increasingly more diverse, and there are more students from different cultural backgrounds speaking a multitude of languages. Many of these students will…

Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed. It also involves the properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change. Chemistry is important to life. The environment is composed of many chemicals without identification of chemicals we wouldn’t know what chemicals are safe to have around or which chemicals are harmful and dangerous to our bodies. To answer the enduring question, how do we gain knowledge to…

There are “three types of measurement validation”: content, convergent/discriminant, and nomological/construct validation. Content Validation is preoccupied with the questions whether or not key elements are “omitted from the indicator” and whether or not “inappropriate elements are included in the indicator.” Although content validation is an “important contribution” to measurement validity, its chief limitation is that “alone it is incomplete, for two reasons”: “first, although a necessary…

For me, the comparison of these two important eras in literature is most profound in their treatment and the reflection through science and nature. The authors of the former were influenced by the industrial revolution and the great prosperity of the time. People were often related to nature. The latter was forced to wrestle with greater social conflict and, what was at the time, the war to end all wars. There lacked the volume in examples of nature as a theme but it did exist. Alfred, Lord…

P1 Structure; Ceramic – Glass-ceramic I have chosen glass-ceramic to write about, however, I have no knowledge on this so I will have to use quite a bit of referencing to get the information. Facts; Glass-ceramics have an amorphous phase and one or more crystalline phases and are produced by a feature called "controlled crystallization" in contrast to a spontaneous crystallization, which is usually not wanted in glass manufacturing. They don’t find it ideal to have "spontaneous…

statistics in their everyday lives. Business lives and personal lives. I work in the healthcare field and during this class and my research, I have learned just how important it is for the hospitals and larger businesses. Researchers employ scientific methods to gather data on human population samples. The health care industry benefits from knowing consumer market characteristics such as age, sex, race, income and disabilities. These "demographic" statistics can predict the types of services…

and James 2006) This article discusses a few different methods of qualitative research and provides pros and cons for each, with email interviews being the main focus. This article is valuable for the future of ethnographic research because it illustrates how interviews can be redefined in order to be more convenient for both the researcher and the participants. By examining the upside to more technologically advanced data collection methods, it is clear that they will certainly have an effect…

T.T.M Kannan et al. [2014] performed the experiment on AISI 316 Austenite stainless steel to investigate the heat partition, tool wear and tool life. In their investigation they found that CBN cutting inserts has been damaged in moderate cutting velocity and produce good machinability and higher cutting temperature decreases the yield strength of produced white layer. [11] R.Suresh et al. [2014] studied the effect of various cutting parameters in hard turning of AISI H13 steel at 55 HRC with…
