particularly high densities across the boreal regions of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the sub-arctic deltas including the Athabasca and Slave River parklands" (Gauthier, G. 1993). A few breeding grounds can be found locate in the northern parts of the United States. Their general populations spend most of their migration and winter time on two opposite sides of the U.S, the west coast and the east coast congregating in protected bays and estuaries. Unlike many ducks,…
Badass U Articles Summary True Alpha? True Alpha The word “alpha” has become very popular in the last decade or so when describing human social dynamics. But the definition of the term isn’t so clear. Most define it as being the leader of men (or women). Or, as some insecure douchebag who is excessively aggressive. And with the first definition, interestingly, people will look at wolves and gorillas to give examples of alphas in the wild. But there really are no alpha males there. Scientists…
In public settings people establish, maintain, and change their personal territories formulated by social norms and other verbal and nonverbal notifications sent by others. The term “public,” specifically means areas where individuals have freedom of access, but not necessarily of action (Guerrero, DeVito & Hecht, 1999). In this paper, I will describe my observations of how various people established their personal territories in five different places: the library, the elevator, the café, the…
now 6 of us left, my beta Max, the protector Jordan, and the 3 omegas, Thunder, Winter, and Fall. My parents were the alphas before they were killed 3 months before they lead a full on attack to kill the rest of the pack and drive us out of our territory. We have been in hiding on the outskirts of the forest so no more of us die. “Hunter!” Yelled…
(1977) showed that the first two generations of Kabyle immigrants in France were strongly connected with their country of origin. The relation with the territory of Algeria, Kabylia and more specifically with the village of origin was mainly characterized by the hope and the project of the grand return (Sayad, 1977). This visceral link with the territory is particularly illustrated by the funeral rite of repatriating deceased bodies to the village. These practices lead to a whole village…
Establishing Personal Territories In A Public Setting The understanding of social norms is one of the major formulations people use to keep society running in a respectful, safe, and proper way. In public settings people establish, maintain, and change their personal territories formulated by social norms and other verbal and nonverbal notifications sent by others. The term “public,” specifically means areas where individuals have freedom of access, but not necessary of action (Guerrero,…
especially in the field history. The most widespread approaches of this history are that of violence, war, oppression, possession of territories, and foundation of new colonies. In Frontier of Possessions, Tamar Herzog, a historian, professor of Latin American presents an account of the conquest from a different perspective, one that proposes that the acquisition of the territory of the New World by Spain and Portugal was a result of “interactions of many actors that caused territorial division…
your time outside of work and school? I am willing to bet some of that free time is spent with other people you would consider friends and family. Possibly unknown to you, most of these activities you enjoy can be classified as sub-territories, specifically tribal territories, according to Desmond Morris’s writing “Territorial Behavior”. Some examples you may be familiar with are book clubs, political parties, biker gangs, gun clubs, fraternities or sororities, and so on. Desmond Morris’s…
lobbying the Northern waters to become international (Dickason and Newbigging 277). Canada saw the United States as a threat and acted swiftly to grant the Northerners their request for self-government. A political accord was signed by both parties in 1992 (Belanger, 222). In 1993, representatives of the Canadian government, Northwest Territories and Nunavut Tunngavik signed a land claim agreement that created Nunavut - the third Canadian territory (Belanger, 222). The creation of the territory…
Canada in 1950s – a respecter of human rights “A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer,” said Seneca, a Roman Stoic philosopher (Seneca, Moral Essays, Vol.3, 1935).

Action done out of philanthropic purpose is justified even though the result unexpectedly hurts others’…
