“God Damnit Kendrick you did it again” Noah said with my headphones on listening to “To Pimp a Butterfly” for the first time with Alexis and I in our third period rotation class. The moment that had the most impact on me was meeting Alexis and Noah. This happened when I was in seventh grade and we all had the same third period which was rotation. I had sat next to Noah as we have last names that all close alphabetically. While the first few days we did not talk as we did not know each other but…

To examine how well participants were able to recall, each passage was divided up into 30 unit ideas that were used to counting up how many idea units were written correctly. For a majority of tests there were two raters, and we found between the two raters scoring “The Sun” was in agreement 97% of the time and “Sea Otters” was in agreement 94% of the time. Our first hypothesis was that recall for the study/study condition will be higher than for the study/test condition for the five minute…

Reich attributes the past more equivalent distribution of wealth in the 1950s and 1960s to stronger unions. He comments that union membership has fallen from “more than a third of all private-sector workers belonging unions in the 1950s to fewer than 7 percent today” (Reich) and that because of this…

Should the American government redistribute wealth? This is one of the many issues we are facing as a country today. “There are two sides to every story", as people quote often and that's the way it is in politics also. There are advantages and disadvantages to redistributing the wealth in the United States. It's important to look at both sides and then make our decision. “Redistributing the wealth in the country means that we are transferring income from one person to another and vice…

Inequality on the Gini scale is measured between 0, where everybody is equal, and 1, where all the country's…

This article, written by Gary Becker and Kevin Murphy, outlined what the rising income inequality means for the United States. They propose that the rising income inequality stems mostly from the increase in the value of education, spiking in the 1980s. They state that this increase in value better helps minorities as women and African Americans are gaining more from college than men/Caucasian…

At Atlantis Vision Center in Indian Harbour Beach, FL, we often get common, yet important, eye care questions. One such inquiry is the meaning behind the term “20/20 vision.” This term expresses normal visual acuity (in other words, the sharpness, or clarity, of vision) measured at a distance of 20 feet.
