What Dillon shows us is that reading in smaller bursts are slowly hurting our ability to comprehend information and texts. Dillon shows us that there is a huge difference between reading online and reading a physical copy. He finds it funny that we have not noticed this sooner, we rely so much on digital information, but we have not paid attention to how much it has effected us (Sullivan par 6). One of the earliest articles I found that discusses the decline of reading is The Death of Reading…

Virgil’s Aenied tells the tale of the struggle between Troy and the Greek city states as they fought for 10 years to no avail. The conflict eventually ended when the Greek’s had the furtive plan to trick the Trojan’s to accept a gift that led to their downfall.

Domtar’s advertisement that is featured in the September issue of National Geographic derives their marketing strategy from this very…

Most people believe that we store information just as it was revealed to us. Much of one’s memory depends on how the subject interprets the world and can be affected by our values and by cultural norms (McLeod). By realizing this, we can never fully recall every single detail as it was presented, only by how we relate to the information, this is known as schemas. Schemas are defined as “mental ‘units’ of knowledge that correspond to…

When they round the brow of the first hill, the force of gravity makes them hurtle energy as well. Even the rattling noise the rollercoaster makes uses up some of its energy. The cars lose more and more of their original energy the longer the ride continues, and, since the cars have no engines, there's no way of replacing it.…

I will be examining the risks of the student loan bubble. Over the last 5 years the American federal reserve bank has increased spending on federal student loans over 1,000%. From $100 billion to over $1 trillion dollars. According to Kate Hardiman from University of Notre Dame “Economists believe the amount of federal money allocated to student loans shown in this graph is highly “unsustainable.””. With the increasingly large amount of risky student loans being given out its not going to be…
