General relativity

linguistic relativity hypothesis, which is referred to as the Whorf-Sapir hypothesis (Lucy, 1997, p. 294). A purpose of this essay intends to demonstrate that Everett’s research does provide support for claims made by Whorf and Sapir. The essay will also look at how specific claims made by Whorf will relate to the Piraha. First this essay will summarize what linguistic relativity is and then will go further to summarize specific claims that are related to the hypothesis related linguistic…

For this response to reading, I endeavor to combine theory with a tone of comical rhetoric. After reading the text by Gardiner and Kosmitzki, the following questions emphasize information I pondered on from the writing: 1. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? 2. What message can children and adults learn about language from the movie, The Minions? 3. Is there a lesson we can learn from the marooned cast of Gilligan’s Island about “formal operational thinking” (2011, p. 137)? The Chicken…

In the photo, a baseball is being hit by a bat in a game. This photo was taken at a Gonzaga baseball game on campus (I used a profession photo because they are way better and a second photo is used to show the moment of contact which is what I am talking about). In terms of the physics in the photo. The focus of this paper will be on the energy transfer from the bat to the ball, which causes the ball to reverse directions, increase velocity, and create a launch angle to potentially be a…

The theory of relativity suggests that before the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, space and time did not exist and matter was packed together in a tiny ball. ( DWall, Michael). Since time is measured by motion in space, there was no time without moving cosmos. Time is a thing human invented to have a chronology of events and phases of day and night, it is said that time travel is impossible.Time travel has been proven to exist in artifacts and humans as incredible as it sounds.Time travel has…

Personal Energy and Material of Toothpaste The cycle of energy that gets put into the simple product of a tube of toothpaste is a rather lengthy one. Most people simply think of the raw materials that are put into the toothpaste, but what about the tube itself? Most people just consider the resources that are put into the paste, but what about the energy used to transport those resources or to mix them together. Perhaps one has considered the tube and the energy that was put into making it, but…

Many would think that the art of communication may not be a need for survival, yet through communication, civilization has evolved to make life easier for the human race as a whole. In the article How many languages are there in the world? By Stephen R. Anderson, Anderson share the Ethnologue catalog published by SIL International that classified there to be 6,909 distinct languages. The Ethnologue was published in 2009, adjusting the number of languages to increase or decrease over the years…

As an International Relations major, when I first looked at the classes offered in the communication section, the name “Intercultural communication” stood out. I was expecting to learn a little bit about every culture: their religion, beliefs, language, mores, etc. I also expected a lot of international students in the class, and the teacher to be chill and open-minded. Gladly, the class exceeded all my expectations. I learned a lot about other cultures, but not in a superficial way, I came to…

Right now, I want you to take a look at your phone. When you do this you will find many different components that make your phone, well, your phone. The screen is lit up. Voice transmitting, really making it a phone. There is a camera, which is along the lines of motion photography. Music recorded on your phone, dating back to the first phonograph. And last but not least, a nickel alkaline battery, powering the whole phone. What does this have to do with what I am researching, you may ask? All…

The Cibecue Apache community of speakers is a group of Western Apaches who live in a relatively isolated area of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona. Although the modern Anglo-American world has increasingly encroached on the small settlement, much of the ancestral Apache culture, traditions, and beliefs remain a tangible part of daily life in Cibecue. Indeed, as Basso (1979) states, “most Western Apaches remain on the fringe of national American society, maintaining there with full…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! AN UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT IS HURDLING TOWARDS EARTH! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! “Commander, it’s the emergency broadcasting system! The object is coming in at insanely high speeds! This is not a drill!” “Great Scott! What shall we do? To the emergency chamber!” The Emergency Response team quickly began the descent into the emergency chamber in order to figure out the solution. The fate of the world as we know it was in their hands. “Tell me what we know!” commanded the Commander. “A…
