Negative and non-negative numbers

One can decisively argue that the word “retarded” has become one of the most offensive slurs vocalized in the 21st century. Recently, the media has placed attention on the negative connotation of the word retarded, as it is now used in a manner offensive to people who suffer from mental disabilities. The word, once a respectful euphemism for the term “mentally handicapped”, has now become the epitome of disrespect towards beings who are mentally handicapped. This is because of the word’s current…

electrons, loss of hydrogen and gain of oxygen. Reduction, on the other hand, is defined as the gain of electrons, gain of hydrogen and loss of oxygen. Oxidation occurs when there is an increase in oxidation numbers and reduction occurs when there is a decrease in oxidation numbers. Oxidation numbers are values assigned to an atom in a compound which measures the electron control or the possession it has relative to the atom in its pure element. In a redox equation, equations are assigned for…

Meiosis is the nuclear division process that reduces the chromosomal number by half and results in the formation of four haploid (n) cells; occurs only in certain reproductive organs. Mitosis has only one division consisting of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, meiosis has two divisions each of the 4 phases listed. Also, meiosis has a synapsis of homologous chromosomes while mitosis does not. During daughter cell number and genetic composition, mitosis has two, each diploid cell is…

educational prospects. Mass incarceration has had significant and long-lasting impacts on American society, and particularly on the children of the incarcerated. This paper will provide an outlook on why having a parent who is incarcerated has a negative effect on the child. I will begin by providing an estimate on exactly how many of those incarcerated are parents. Secondly the effects the incarceration has on the children and finally what the government is doing to help these children to not…

classes, and even racism."A starling number of reports regarding alleged suppression of religious expression, as well as religious students groups being denied official recognition for universities unless the groups adhered to non-discrimination policies that conflicted with their religious beliefs." Nowadays, juveniles and millennials commence to expose their philosophies towards religious affairs, advancing in the vast worlds or religion. An superior number of the under-age and millennial…

Per capita income, not perfect, as it is, still provides a reasonable measure of economic benefits. Per capita income grew nearly five percentage points faster in casino counties than in their non-casino county counterparts. The results were statistically significant. Therefore, casinos have not only increased the local economy, but the average resident is getting better. Thirdly, gambling can become a powerful tool for economic development.…

high level of self-awareness on one’s actions, feels comfortable in solitude, and tends to reflect on one’s life. As we research into past assessments measuring social introversion, we had realized that this construct had been unfairly put under a negative light. According to Ward (1998), who had wrote the measurement of social introversion in the MMPI-2, “social introversion is positively correlated with self-consciousness, social avoidance and self/other alienation” (p. 171). This apparent…

relief to Americans, improved public welfare and expanded the power of the government. The great depression caused thousands of workers to become unemployed. Unemployment spiked early in the 1920’s and the number of unemployed (12.8 million) increased to almost 40% by 1933 (Doc J). Families of non-farm working men and women suffered equally. Roosevelt’s administration support sought to reduce employment by creating the public works administration. FDR spent several billion dollars to build…

truly enjoyed reading your discussion about The Make a Wish Foundation. I have heard of it but have never known anyone who has participated in this non-profit organization. I read more about it online to find out exactly who they offer wishes to and read that they actually granted wishes for more than 14,000 children. That is such a significant number but it was only half of the eligible applicants. There is a need for this organization and I feel it brings hope to the child and their family. I…

overlooked to become stricter. Both owners and non-owners of guns believe it is essential for gun owners to take gun safety courses and store their guns in a safe, locked area claims the Pew Social Trends website. I agree that gun laws need to be harsher and enforced more. As I discussed before, many of the bad correlations with guns happen to be stolen, so if these registration rules were harder to be able to buy a gun it could have a lasting effect on the number of incidents that have…
