Intuitively we know that the size of an object can have a significant impact on its dynamics. We have seen athletes or animals creating moves beyond our imagination, as shown in Fig. 4.1. This is because their ability in manipulating different parts of their bodies in creating dynamic complexities shown in the images. Certainly we would not be able to ignore the role played by each part of the body if we were to analyze the dynamics of an extended object. However, there is one point, associated…

Rhetoric, as a practice, is as old as human society itself. As long as there have been crowds in streets or on forums, people have spoken to sway them; as long as social conditions have existed, people have agitated to change them, and as soon as writing was created, it was used to influence the actions of others. In the ostensibly democratic Athens (at least for free men born in the city to native parents) (Goldstein 88), Aristotle emphasized the role of rhetoric in persuading one’s fellow…

After WW1, the winners which were the United States, United Kingdom, and France adapted the underlying principles of liberalism that has been practiced since the 17th and 18th centuries to try and avoid war. Liberal thought is grounded in a notion that human nature is good, not evil, meaning that states thrive in a world governed by morality and law. States want to cooperate to achieve mutual goals in peace. Just like realism, liberalism derives from the observations and interpretations of…

Ancient Greece had many different cultural hubs and variations between government structures and organizations. Two of the most heavily influential societies during the era of Ancient Greece was Sparta and Athens. In the following paragraphs, the governments and organizational structures of these two very different cities will be analyzed. First, Sparta and Athens had different ways of dealing with the right to participate in public life, especially regarding government, as well as who held…

listening and performing skills. The individual who performed today was a member of the University of Kentucky faculty. The hall was a great venue to enjoy classical music. There was plenty of seating available, audience was excellent and they were very respectful to the performer. The hall was designed specifically for the performance of classical music and very little to no distortion when the performer hit notes with very high resonance. Composition I liked Best: The composition that I…

Everyone has an addiction or a bad habit. Some people’s are biggers than others and some people will not want to admit to theirs, but everyone has one. My clients addiction, or habit if you will is that she really likes to caffeine. The teen I talked to was a Junior in High School and she was not sure on whether she wanted help or not. Her family had signed her up because they thought she had a caffeine problem. When she walked in she seemed a little fidgety and she seemed to refuse to make eye…

way where children can view reading as a positive task and not a dreadful chore. This can be done through three different ways: classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning. These principles will help motivate children to read more often and help parents stimulate their children to have positive future results. The first method is classical conditioning, which is a type of learning where you can teach a child to link two or more stimuli and be able to anticipate in…

The terms used in classical conditioning theories are deliberately abstract so that their use can uncover the common principles behind different behaviors and behavioral challenges, like obesity, smoking, drug dependence, and anxiety disorders (Bouton81). We should give thanks to Watson’s discoveries of classic conditioning, as it provides us with very important techniques to help with modern day behavior challenges. I can say that I have used Watson’s techniques of classical conditioning on my…

Rosenhan, D. L. (1973). On being sane in insane places. Science, 179, 250-258. Insane or Not David Rosenhan conducted a study investigating the ability to distinguish the difference between the sane and insane in insane environments. The study involved pseudopatients who travelled to separate psychological hospitals where all but one of them were diagnosed and admitted with schizophrenia after all complaining to hear voices. Once inside, the pseudopatients acted normally and…

1. C Why: according to Newton’s first law of motion, an object that is free from all outside forces travels at a constant velocity, covering equal distances in equal times along a straight-line path, C is true. 2. D Why: not matter an object is still or is in motion, the object has inertia all the time. Inertia is a nature/property of any objects. 3. D Why: the ship is moving at a constant speed, which is in a balanced status. For the athlete, it would be likely to do a long jump on ground.…
