elementary school in the first grade during the middle 1960’s I had naturally started to learn how to print and write using my left hand. However, much to the dismay of my teacher and my parents, the thought of me writing with my left hand must have been shocking and not in line with the teaching methods of that time so they corrected me and switched my writing hand from the left hand to the right hand. I’ve often wondered why they changed the hand I was to learn to write with. Perhaps it was…
inferences would be made from the data. Also, I might want to add another object to pick up with chopsticks (such as dice or peanuts). This would add two more treatment groups. Lastly, I would want to block the participants so that an equal number of left-handed people were in each treatment group. This would help make the experimental results more representative of the general population. I would also want to survey the participants to understand and evaluate their past experience with using…
dominant handedness is determined by our family genes, learned behavior, or a combination of both. For years, there has been much argument as to whether handedness is a inherited trait through parents or a learned behavior from our environment. Recent studies have begun to show that handedness is more than just an a learned behavior. It was first thought that a single gene may contribute…
The “Dating Game” was a game show where an individual was allowed to ask a series of questions to three potential dates. The person asking the questions could not see his/her potential dates. Their final selection was based solely on how the questions were answered and not what they could see. The “Dating Game” concept is a good basis for the interview process used to select the right people when hiring a new employee. Interviews should be conducted with appropriate questions asked to assess…
subtle discriminations in the world we live in today is that against the left; so inconspicuous is it, that most never realise its existence. Most would sneer, “how can there be discrimination against left? It’s just a direction, a handedness, an adjective,”, but ‘most’ are the unwittingly biased majority. The word ‘left’, bears three direct meanings. When facing North, it refers to the West side. In the political sense, left, left-wing, and leftist all refer to someone with radical, liberal…

Mayella Ewell is willing to destroy everyone's lives in order to get what she wants. She thinks that she has it worse than anyone else and feels sorry for herself. I believe that Mayella is powerful because she has the ability to manipulate people. She is in control of herself, others, and her situation. Mayella uses her race, class, and gender to do so. She is white and in the 1920's and 1930's. that is the dominate race. Even though she is very poor, she uses it to her advantage by making…

The dominant eye or sighting eye is the eye that processes information fourteen to twenty-one milliseconds faster than the other eye.(7) To find out which eye is the dominant eye hold both…
Victims’ lives are gone, and the killers disappear. Not much is worse than an escaped murderer. Many murders have been left unsolved, including the Sheppard case. However, sometimes it is obvious who committed the crime, yet they are not punished. It is clear that Dr. Sam Sheppard murdered his wife, Marilyn Sheppard, because of details included in the crime scene and Sam’s story, missing information in Sam’s story, and the possible motives for Sam to have killed his wife. Marilyn Reese Sheppard…
Everyone makes judgements of their surroundings: it’s a part of being human. We fit things into groups, like pets, scary things, or things we can sit on. Within these groups, there are smaller groups, like separating pets into dogs and cats. Those groups can continue to get more and more specific. At a glance, a person can determine the difference between a German Shepherd and a chihuahua and act accordingly. This is true for people too. Our society claims to be “colorblind,” but when was the…
