In the past, when a person was on death row, the solitary discipline was to execute the person responsible for the wrongdoing. However, people…

When I walked out of my room, I heard pots clanging, rapid footsteps across the living room, and voices calling out my name. These familiar noises were the sounds of family that produces a sense of protection and inclusiveness. On the other hand, I dreaded the times when I was alone in an empty house, surrounded by silence. In the…

In one study conducted by Cazilia Loibl and Patti J. Fisher from the Ohio State University and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, the authors looked at the implementation of personal finance standards in three different subjects, including social studies/economics, family and consumer sciences, and business education (Loibl and Fisher 17). All three of…

classmate or from the internet. But, is it more difficult to cheat in a public school or a virtual one? Technology today has made it fairly easy to do in both. Online schools revolve solely around internet use. Clifford Stoll, an astronomer and computer systems administrator, claims “Computer-enabled students spend more time preening their reports than understanding the subject matter.”(Technology and Society, pg. 71). Students who are on a computer all day for classes will get side tracked…

What I Know, Assume, or Imagine The media surrounds society with a daily realm of technology in the forms of television, magazines, and social networks. While the media has the capability to connect people and unite nations, it also has the power to inculcate ideas and attitudes about females’ physical appearance. The media generates negative physical and psychological consequences on young girls’ body image. Considering negative body image in young girls, I assume information from my own…

Both the propulsion technique of the manual wheelchair user and the wheelchair design and setup have major effects on the biomechanics of the user-wheelchair system. Despite major improvements in technology, propulsion technique is still not very well understood. It can stated, however, that three basic qualities of the user-wheelchair system determine the performance: the user, who produces the energy for propulsion, the vehicle mechanics of the wheelchair, which determine power requirements to…

ecosystems will eventually affect humans, not in the case of predator and prey, but along the lines of death and disease. Animals play a major role in our basic survival needs, for example bees pollinate over 70% of the food humans consume (Arlington Institute, 2005) – the disappearance of this species would have a vast impact on the everyday lives of humans. Every living organism has a vital role in our eco-system that we don't even know about yet, therefore we must preserve them all…
