I Ching

(Bar-Haim, Aviezer, Berson, & Sagi, 2002). In this experiment, the different realm of personal space were tested and the subject’s attempts to protect his region were observed. Gender was not a problem as all test subjects were males with moustache. I hypothesised that the test subjects would dislike the invasion of personal space and move away from such intrusion by jerking their head away. The procedures of this experiment is simple. First, the experimenter approaches the subject and starts…

a relationship almost impossible if the “mooching” becomes too common. Nobody wants to go out for a weekend of fun with someone who is always begging them for money. A sure fire way of spotting a moocher is when they swear by the phrase, "I 'll pay you back, I swear!" Females fall into this trap of only inviting certain people when they need something from them. These friends are episodic friends. Close to the concept of a moocher, episodic friends are more frustrating. They are not dependable…

Rome has a complex history with many layers that one must peal individually to fully comprehend. A very complicated time for the political stage of the empire was during the 4th century, when Rome was divided into East and West. The shifting powers at the time led to one of the most influential incidents in Roman history, the Battle of Milvian Bridge. On the 28th of October 312 A.D., two of the greatest authorities at the time faced off on the outskirts of Rome. Constantine the Great engaged…

on a tv screen. The prototype displayed a few numbers and ran sample programs. In 1976 Jobs and Wozniak built the Apple I computer. Wozniak designed the hardware, circuit board, and operating system all by himself. Jobs wanted to sell it as a complete computer, a fully assembled circuit board. They sold some possessions and assembled the computer in Job’s garage. The Apple I sold for $666, Wozniak had no idea about the biblical ‘mark of the beast’ at the time. Because of their success on their…

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ created a spiritual up rise in the early centuries of Rome. Jesus’ teachings were being spread throughout the kingdom by his Apostles and a new religion called “Christianity” was embraced and expanded. Christians worship one God and believe in a trinity of their God. The concept of a monotheistic religion wasn’t accepted in the pagan Roman Empire. Christian beliefs were insulting to the pagan polytheistic culture. Christians did not have legal…

The world is in denial, climate change is happening, and the earth is dying because people are killing it. A clear example of this denial is seen in the decline of news coverage regarding environmental change, “in 2007, the three major U.S. networks—CBS, NBC, and ABC ran 147 stories on climate change; in 2011 the networks ran just fourteen stories on the subject” (Klein, 34). People do not want to hear about climate change and decreasing natural resources. Continued denial will be the downfall…

The life of cosmopolitan women in late-antiquity has remained something of an enigma to scholars. Perceptions of general decadence and moral impoverishment date back to the early research of historians like Edward Gibbon, who argued that a loss of virtue-ethics plagued the secular government. Authors of the 5th and 6th centuries, like Procopius and St. Augustine, offer little to undermine that notion. One would be quick to assume that the general decline in quality of life in the late…

What events contributed to the rise of Christianity Today Christianity is one of the most popular religions in the world. To get to this point Christianity had to achieve serious strides in a land where practicing this religion meant death. The voice of Christianity started out with Paul, a missionary whose goal was to spread the teachings and change people’s attitudes. After Paul, Constantine, the Emperor, had a long road ahead of him to make his religion, Christianity, universal. Both Paul…

This basketball game is where it all started, I thought I met the guy of my dreams. I was a senior cheerleader for the Indians and my mother was working in the concession stand that night so my friend Kira and I decided to go get some food. We got up from the far right corner of the gym and started walking toward the left corner to the door on which the concession stand is at. As we walked through the double doors I looked up and seen a guy name Trey. I looked him up…

unrealistic or may realistic. But when I was asked what I wanted to be I said a vet. I loved animals and with having pets at home it taught me the responsibility of taking care of animals. It was not until I learned what vets actually have to do and I had no intent of doing that to animals even if it was to help them. I have never had a strong stomach and would get grossed out by just seeing a little cut. As I got to second grade, I thought about teaching. I am extremely bossy, so people could…
