Cedar Point amusement park is a place so wonderful and exciting that it is known around the world for its wide array of rides and attractions. Just like the towering roller coasters and thrilling drop tower rides that dominate the skyline and penetrate the sky high above the lakeshore, the park stands out among all others across the globe. The massive hills and loops of winding steel stand for not only a thrill seeker’s dream and marvels of human ingenuity and engineering, but also represent the…

When we look around us we do not even think about it, we check both ways before crossing the street, we admire the sunset early in the morning, or we read a book. But, we never think about how we see things, how does what we see get translated into things that we can understand? It starts in the retina, where the receptor cells are. There are two types of receptor cells, rods and cones, both are only sensitive to visible light. Rods are chiefly responsible for night vision and respond to only…

Over one-hundred years ago, President Wilson addressed a joint-session of Congress and set forth the fourteen points which would severely impact the settlement of the First World War. The fundamental similarity surrounding these points is the notion of individual freedom. It is the freedom of people; their movement, government, and self-determination. The fundamental belief in freedom and democracy has guided American foreign policy and intervention since 1918. Universal application by Wilson…

the ideals presented in Woodrow Wilson’s “Fourteen Points” contributed to the conditions that made World War II possible. Add more! Nearly a year before the peace talks took place in Paris, President Woodrow Wilson presented a plan on January 8th, 1918 for lasting peace to the United States Congress. His intention was to draft a document that would be the basis for peace from that day forward, a plan that was comprised of “the “Fourteen Points” that he believed justified the enormous military…

The most basic deficiency the Treaty of Versailles had was that when the German made a request for peace after their surrender, they believed that the treaty would be more like the Woodrow Wilson’s well known “Fourteen point”, which were more reasonable and diplomatic. On June 8, 1918, Woodrow Wilson presented his vision to Congress of an after war world that had “diplomatic relation, multilateral demilitarization, facilitated commerce, opportunity of the oceans, and settlement of question by…

which can result in a tipping point in a trend.Although I don't agree with you when you quoted “tipping points can happen whenever and wherever” because later on in the book Malcolm talks about the power of context and how “epidemic are sensitive to the conditions and circumstances of the times and places in which they occur”. This concluded that a tipping point can’t occur whenever and wherever. I was also shocked to see how a few of people can cause a tipping point for a brand like the Hush…

Wilson’s speeches he made before and after entering World War I. His speech that was created before the United States entered in 1917 “A World League of Peace” hold subtle, but important differences and similarities from his second speech, “The Fourteen Points.” I honestly believe that there are more differences than similarities between the two. These differences can be interpreted to how President Wilson speaks of policies concerning the aftermath of the war, and how the role of the United…

1. Chapter One: The Three Rules of Epidemics “The three rules of the Tipping Point—the Law of the Few, the Stickiness Factor, and the Power of Context—offer a way of making sense of epidemics.” (Gladwell 29) In The Tipping Point, Gladwell describes the Law of the Few as the fact that people with “a particular and rare set of social gifts” (Gladwell 33) are influential in social epidemics. Their special personality traits help ideas, trends, and social behaviors to “tip”, or become popular. The…
