Tension, suspense, mystery, and anticipation are feelings often inspired by Shirley Jackson’s short story “The Lottery”. It took Jackson less than two hours to write “The Lottery”. Being shorter than 3,500 words, it is a short story by all structural standards, yet its content outraged the U.S. population. The story was banned in many schools, from a number of libraries, and throughout all of South Africa. One of the many factors that caused this reaction was the tone or “mood” of the story.…

The notion of male crisis is very prevalent at this juncture in history. It encompasses many of the social, political, and academic debates about men. According to The Personal and the Political by Stephen Whitehead, Susan Faludi’s thesis is that the modern man has been ‘betrayed’ by a combination of factors, notably a sexist consumer culture that commodifies and objectifies the male; the loss of economic authority; the weakening and reshaping of men’s relationship to the world of work; the…

1. The Hall of Bulls one of the many paintings contained within the Lascaux Caves. The Lascaux Caves were discovered in 1940 in the southwestern region of France called Dordogne. The painting has been dated to 15,000 BCE. The mediums used to create the Halls of Bulls were white limestone, charcoal, and ocher (an earth material that is pigmented in a wide range of colors).

“The people had done it themselves”. An example of the logical appeal can be found on page 297, “The “control of nature” is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born to the Neanderthal age of biology and physiology, when it was supposed that nature exists for the convenience of man. The appeals used by the author gives the reader facts and what morally is right. Carson uses imagery to explain that these chemicals are causing a…

gossip it seems that overtime that is how the language of Sapiens evolved and changed the cognitive revolution. Without the spoken language of detail and explanation there would be an intangible amount of material and historical barriers. The Neanderthals beat us first but our language is what…

some time to evolve, and may not have been complete until some 170,000 years ago, or even later, when Homo sapiens emerged to grace, but more often disgrace, the planet. These adjustments may have been incomplete even in our close relatives the Neanderthals; arguably, it was this failure that contributed to their…

Do Not Make These Marketing Mistakes 5 marketing mistakes that will cost your company cash. Marketing is as old as time, from when Neanderthals were looking for new ways to trade with other cavemen, until today where we are still trying to come up with new advertising ideas. Not much has changed fundamentally with the actual concept of marketing in the last 300,000 years, though there are some that still cling to their primitive ways. Caveman aside, there is nothing basic or crude about the…

Two hundred thousand years ago humans thrived on a paleolithic diet. They were healthy and thin, and their bodies were efficient in running, hunting, fighting sickness, and processing the foods they ate. They evolved on a diet that kept them at their peak physical state, trim and energized to face the dangers of their world. Now modern humans can lose extra weight and get back to their peak physique just by giving their body the paleolithic nutrition that it craves. For this caveman diet,…

I erroneously thought that all Native Americans lived in tipis full-time; picking up and moving about the country almost constantly, much like nomadic tribes of the Neanderthal period. Understanding that Native Americans had other permanent structures such as longhouses and earth lodges, and that tipis more often than not were mobile structures used for hunting trips, was like a light bulb going off in my head. How could…
