This studies claimed that the government of Ronald Reagan, US President at the time, had illegally helped an army of counterrevolutionary mercenaries in Central America. However, and despite the conclusive evidence, the intelligence service executed a number of ruses to clear its name and even to victimize itself due to the "false accusations" (Ruiz, 2014).

Where are Franklin's ideas about productivity/industry still found today? Do you think American workers are ‘Franklinian’? Has the modern world and multitasking ruined the Franklin model? Franklin, while not the pioneer of the idea of an American work ethic, did much to change it from its Puritan roots of predestination. He secularized the American work ethic, and established a series of rules and adages as to how to be wealthy. Many of the adages Franklin once established are still around today…

Occasionally a test will be handed out to know specifically where the child needs to be placed, but rarely does that happen any more. Highly differing classes led to some students being ahead, while others flew behind…

The definition of evil is the “exercise of power” (“The Psychology of Evil”), according to psychologist Philip Zimbardo. In consonance with this definition, people execute an evil act “to intentionally harm people psychologically, to hurt people physically, to destroy people mortally, or ideas, and to commit crimes against humanity” (Zimbardo, “The Psychology of Evil”). Based on this, evil is committed with the intention to inflict harm on people and the environment. The incentive to perform…

Varric doesn’t mention this in his book, but: Hawke hates fire magic. Bethany had loved it, loved trailing sparks between her fingers, loved cupping her hands together and pretending there were glowbugs inside, never mind that the light was too orange for the things. She’d been afraid of the dark. She always had been. That was why their father had taught Bethy fire first, so that she’d never have to be alone in the dark. Marian is thankful for that. Even after she’d died, Bethy would never be…

Since he subjected me to infernal besiegement on a daily basis, I thought I should pull a prank on my homeroom officer. Every day he…

The first pertains to an academic setting in which i believe learning is merely the ability to learn exactly how to learn. We are creating mental schemas to eventually create knowledge. For example, in grade school they teach you how to read and write, creating a mental schema. Eventually, that same mental schema is turned into an epistemological schema…
