Ancient Greece went through many types of governments throughout its history. The five mentioned are monarchy, aristocracy, tyranny, oligarchy, and democracy. Now, in a broad sense, most of the city-states transitioned through all these, in this order. However, this was not consistent, and all systems of government were in place during the history of Ancient Greece. We will start by discussion the first type of government, monarchy, and move from there. (Brand, n.d.) Monarchy, according to…

Imagine sprinting for 40 meters while holding a pole up to three times your height. At the end of the runway you propel yourself up as high as you can to fly over a bar. The four stages include prep and stance, acceleration, pole plant, and clearance and landing. The pole vaulters stance is the set up in preparation to begin accelerating towards the platform. The 40 meter dash while holding the large pole is a phase known as approach. The stance swing occurs during the pole plant which then…

Groupthink is a phenomenon that occurs when the desire for harmony and compliance within a group leads people to operate in a way that can reach a faulty decision. (Janis,1972) Historically, there are many examples of groupthink decisions made by corporations, governments, or other types of organization or group. In this paper, we will examine an important aspect of Modern Greek history that changed not only its borders, but also the population characteristics of certain areas. Asia Minor was a…

create a complicated system in order to complete a tiny, simple task. What is a Rube Goldberg machine you may ask? A Rube Goldberg machine is an over- engineered contraption that uses a chain reaction to accomplish simple tasks such as turning on the music, pouring a glass of water, etc. This specific Rube Goldberg machine’s task is to move the last piece on the chessboard to score checkmate by using the most complicated arrangement possible. In this Rube Goldberg machine, an outside source of…

Sarang Patel Mrs. Kopko Day of the Dead: Issac Newton Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, cosmologist, scholar and physicist (depicted in his own day as a "characteristic savant") who is generally perceived as a standout amongst the most powerful researchers ever and a key figure in the logical upheaval. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first distributed in 1687, established the frameworks of traditional mechanics…

well as believing that all complex behaviour is the result of learning through interaction and that people are only born with a small amount of reflexes. Two processes are used in behaviourism to explain how people learn – classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning is learning through association which was discovered by Pavlov through…

Herodotus Histories presents the large scale war between the ancient Greek and the ancient Persia. The book points out two main forms of governments, a democratic government like Athens, and a monarchical government like Persia. Even though, there are many pro and cons about the two forms of government systems in the book, Greek still won the war despite the huge military power disadvantage against the Persia. Clearly, the Greek’s way of life is more effective at war than Persia’s. In ancient…

In reading the round 1 discussions it is clear that we came to similar conclusions as to which events portrayed the Greeks resisting Alexander’s enterprises the most. We all pulled from similar events; the revolt at Thebes, the Aegean war and the Peloponnesian revolt. The opinions of the state of unification of the Greeks, differs among the responses. In Harneet’s response I liked the focus on Sparta and the Peloponnesian revolt. By focusing on this event the essay was able to contain more…

Soccer is a sport that involves two teams of 11 players who strike a football with their feet. When the players kick the ball they can affects the way the ball spins in the air. Factors that affect the way a ball spins include: wind drag, the way the ball is struck, and friction. These affect it due to the change of the air-flow over the ball, which occur when the ball spins in both a translational and rotational motion. This is due to the magnus effect and bernoulli principle occurring when the…

Ava Lilienthal Science Barcus 7-4 The Physics Behind Soccer Soccer really has a lot to do with science. From Newton’s laws of motion to the momentum of the person kicking the ball, the drag force and the magnus effect, and even the air pressure in the ball. It is harder than most people think. Next time you watch a soccer game, or play a soccer game, think about the science in the game. First, Newton’s Law’s are present when the ball is kicked. His first law, an object at rest stays at rest…
