Charles Siebert, in his essay “An Elephant Crackup?”, argues how scientists attempt to treat elephants’ posttraumatic stress disorder caused by human beings’…

Goldstein (2015) states that “perception can involve a process similar to reasoning or problem solving” (p. 52). For example, I have woken up in the middle of the night and as my eyes were adjusting to being open I have thought a person was standing in my room.

subjects have shaped the world we live in today. Many people believe that subjects such as English, Science and math have opened the door to the laws that govern the natural world. I am one of those strong advocates, but although everyone has this perception of English as a key that opens the door to many opportunities, to me, my freshman year, English was dreadful.
