Schoolyard of the Mind. With nothing more than the title, the author’s position is evident, he is completely opposed to this statutory holiday. Bruce expresses his opinion very clearly and very bluntly.

He states that he despised school very much, referring to it as “psychological malteachering” and “a house of despair…

A common theme between A Brave New World and an article titled “Drugs aren't solving mental illness” is that the use of drugs or other medications to calm the mind are only causing more harm than improvement in patients. In the article it is asserted by Dr. Insel, “Four decades of drug development resulting in over 20 antipsychotics and 30 antidepressants have not demonstrably reduced the morbidity or mortality of mental disorders,” therefore it has been scientifically proven that the intake of…

for years. As Tom Oakley states in his article, “…using the concept of classical conditioning, which has enabled Coca-Cola to intentionally create a pairing between the festive period and the brand.” Essentially, Coca-Cola was able to associate the holidays with their product. While this is a form of classical conditioning, there is yet another layer within it that can be made clear through a simple question. Why does Santa Claus invoke a positive response? While in the present, everyone may…

cases where one of the parties previously refused to settle. Often, having a third party explain the strengths and weaknesses of one’s position is just what is needed to convince that party to compromise so that the case may be settled.

Usually, it’s the unplanned events that turn out to be an amazing time, and my unexpected holiday definitely was one. It was not a planned surprise nor was it present but a simple coincidence that happened. My Grannie who is alone has always dreamed of traveling to Austria but the fear of going alone had put her off the idea.
