Polarization

The United States’ claim as a democracy with freedom as its core value is currently in jeopardy. Many blame President Donald Trump who has been known to bully corporations, use his executive power to extremes, and attempt to silence the opposition as described by Aziz Huq and Tom Ginsburg from Vox’s article. However, there is an enamoring curiosity of why the loud, autocratic, and politically uncorrectable man won any vote at all. Critically theorizing on the eight years of President Obama’s…

Growing up in America today, one might formulate an image of a U.S. Senator or Congressman as a dignified statesman, willing to reason and compromise with colleagues from the other side of the aisle in an effort to improve the wellbeing of the country. This is largely due to historical representations of the Founders and subsequent important figures learned in elementary and middle school courses, as well as depictions found in various classic movies and television shows. However, upon reaching…

dissonance. Selective exposure causes the reinforcement of one’s beliefs and prevents disagreement. This polarization of ideas and ignorance of contradicting views is toxic for our society due to the false perceptions it creates. Betsy Aimee is expose to this realization and reacts to the bubble she’s create due to the Selective Exposure…

The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth Summer Reading Assignment One of the more stronger ideas I agree with is the “No Child Left Behind Law” preventing students from being their true self. I believe this is a common struggle many students have to deal with due to today’s standards. It created boundaries that separates the students and pushes them further apart resulting in them feeling like they do not belong. Many of the students in The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth feel excluded or bullied due…

AC conductivity: Figure 4.19(a) shows the frequency dependent electrical conductivity of PCL5 electrolyte. The result shows that AC conductivity changes with temperature. The AC conductivity of the PEO/CoCl2 electrolyte increases with temperature is given in Table 4.4, which is the common characteristic of disordered materials. An increase in ac conductivity with frequency and temperature indicates charge transported by hopping through the defect sites along the polymer chain [70]. Also the…

The North was opposed to slavery, but was willing to defer to the South who were very strong in their fight for keeping slavery. This marked the point where the North and South began to separate. Both the popularity of social reform and the polarization of the North and South were foreshadowed…

motif is that of the evil stepmother, in such tales as Aschenputtel, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, and The Almond Tree. A character whose main purpose is to oppose the hero/ heroine at all costs, the polar opposite of our main character. This polarization is essential for us to understand the goodness of the hero, to want them to succeed, and to see how good triumphs over evil. The most thought of evil-stepmother is that of the Queen in Snow White. This character is introduced to readers as…

sadly did not end with the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945; instead, those beliefs only spread and garnered support in areas which lacked such strong polarization when it came to opinions on the Jewish people before World War II, namely the Middle East (45). Political conflicts on both the more local and global scale also added to the extreme polarization. The British failed to deal with Palestine at the close of World War II, which set the stage for the Israeli-Palestine conflict. Even today and…

Cardiac Arrhythmia is an anomaly in the Heart which can be diagnosed with the help of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. ECG signal is a diagrammatic representation of the cardiac signal, which is most important biomedical signal, taken for the feature extraction. Since it is very difficult to analyse the ECG signal due to the size, noise and changes in the signal, automatic system for ECG signal processing is essential. For this, ECG signal is processed using wavelets based signal processing,…

Bethany Lacy looked for an explanation of increase in brutalities of wars in her article, Explaining the Severity of Civil Wars. She starts the essay by explaining her hypothesis that the economic development and the power of the countries military do not play as much as a major role as once believed. Instead states that Non-Democratic countries have a significantly high death rate during wars. Lacy used “the regression controls for variation in conflict duration and population by using the log…
