It was warm, humid and cloudy on the day of our Jack Johnson concert. Despite the warmth, it was a perfect day to be outside and sitting on the lawn at the DTE Music Center to enjoy some relaxing tunes. Jack Johnson is classified as a folk and acoustic rock musician, however I compare him between a calmer version of John Mayer and Jason Mraz combined. He plays an acoustic electric guitar, but his guitar playing skills are nowhere near as good as his writing skills. He plays basic guitar chords,…

Fishbein’s (1974) model was used by Eccles and Wigfield (2000) in their Expectancy–Value Theory of Achievement Motivation. The theory aims to explain the behavior of individuals through their expectancies or motives (Fishbein, 1974) but specifically with achievement motivation (Eccles et al., 2000). The theory suggested that individuals with high expectancy rate (ability beliefs, expectancies for success, and subjective task values) will more likely to predict high level individual achievement.…

Introduction: Jay Heinrichs in the introduction to Thank You for Arguing “Open Your Eyes”, emphasizes how inescapable rhetoric is in everyday life as he proves the importance of rhetoric in daily livelihood. He supports his argument by observing that “We live in a dark world of persuasions.” (9). To further prove his point Heinrichs journals a his attempt of a day without persuasion of which he records that he could not even make it out of bed without being persuade to by his alarm clock.…

“Communication is the process of sharing information, ideas and knowledge between people” (Cenere, Gill, Lawson & Lewis 2015, p.51).It has always been a major factor in delivering information. However, in the twenty-first century, the way we communicate has been changed. In this fast paced world the technology has grown more dominant.The gadgets and gizmos which we used are more users friendly and forward. People started using it as technology has made the world a smaller place to live. It has…

Lorax called the Once-ler out one more time. The Once-ler used a machine to cut down several trees at one time. The machine was dumping left overs in the pond where the Humming-Fish stayed. These fish were no longer able to survive because their gills were filled with goo. The Lorax had no choice but to send the Humming-Fish off. The future of the Humming fish was not looking good because they had to walk on their fins in search of non-polluted water. The Oncer-ler stated that his…

Fish’s consist of a diverse amount of species each known for their characteristics that set them apart from the rest. The characteristics that make the general understanding of a fish are, vertebrate, aquatic, Gills rather than lungs, paired limbs(fins) for locomotion, and are covered with scales. When we see fishes in aquariums we have an irresistible urge to tap the glass, and in doing so, a lot of the fishes get startled and move away performing a sequence of steps called an c-start used as…

The question that gets a lot of people worked up is, Is evolution real? Although many people have their arguments on whether or not it is, this paper is going to be about the actual scientific facts proven about evolution. Evolution, despite what some may believe to be true, is the process in which living organisms have changed and developed ”evolved” into different species, but are believed to have derived or originated from a single species or ancestral background (Biological Def.). This can…

New Genre Leadership Models Leadership theories have shifted from focusing on management functions and economic leader-follower exchanges toward interpersonal dynamics occurring within the leadership process (Hannah, Sumanth, Lester, & Cavarretta, 2014, p. 598). New genre theories have been introduced to address critical interpersonal components of leadership were previously grossly undervalued. Two important new genre models that have become an integral and dynamic part of leadership are…

the planet. The ichthyosaur’s fossils have been found all over each continent. This could mean that they migrated easily and often. Since they evolved from land-living animals, they were an air-breathing reptiles. This means that they did not have gills like most other fish, and they had legs and arms. Scientists think they might have looked like lizards with flippers. Due to the fact that scientists only have fragments of a skeleton to base from, the ichthyosaur was thought to be many…

because they can feel pain. In the article, “Hooked on a Myth” by Victoria Braithwaite she explains that fish have similar responses to pain as humans do. Braithwaite wrote, “Well, fish find these naturally irritating chemicals unpleasant too. Their gills beat faster, and they rub…
