This experiment was performed in order to prepare the Grignard reagent from aryl or alkyl halides and demonstrate the principles of organometallic chemistry. The Grignard reagent was prepared via a radical mechanism. The Grignard reagent was then used to prepare a carboxylic acid from carbon dioxide, demonstrating its ability to create carbon-carbon bonds by acting as a strong nucleophile. As the R group of the Grignard reagent was unknown, molecular weight and melting point were then used to…

Web. 6 Feb. 2016. Akatiff, a participant in the March on Pentagon, speaks on the protestors’ rising tensions and their culminating effects during the March. He concentrates on the different levels of tensions among the protestors, and how this polarization inevitably precipitated into the formation of factions. Akatiff’s larger claim is that the March marked a “step from liberalism to radicalism” (26). He compared the March to a battle between the federal army and the protesters, who he viewed…

September 12, 2001 Americans from all walks of life put aside their differences and became united in their resolve to protect their freedom and way of life. Fast forward 14 years.

We are more fragmented than ever. As a high school student on the cusp of…

Many of us recall the classic fairy tales from our childhood that often contained dark plots and themes. Although these stories often frightened us as children, these stories gave us a new perspective on the society we live in. They taught us about the good members of the society (the hero), the bad members of society (the witch/monster), and even taught us important lessons that we continue to use in our lives even as young adults. As Bruno Bettelheim pointed out in his 1977 work The Uses of…

Public opinion defines the aggregate views, attitudes or beliefs held by the society concerning certain aspects or topics (Soroka, & Wlezien, 2010). Public opinion is very relevant in the American society since the political moves, actions and decisions are shaped by their opinions on various aspects of the government (Cohen, 2006). Further, it is prudent to recognize that public opinion is crucial in the explanation of the manner in which political parties, candidates and the political arena…

As such, my fascination began to grow on the topics of ideology and polarization. As a result, I read The Myth of the Independent Voter for my final paper in this class. The Myth of the Independent Voter was written by Bruce Keith, David Magleby, Candice Nelson, Elizabeth Orr, and Mark Westlye in 1992. According to these…

advertisement techniques have helped the BMW and its promotion strategies. The pricing strategy that the BMW uses is based on several factors. “One of the most important trend is premium-tization” (UK Essays). “Premium-tization trend of BMW causes polarization of markets” (UK Essays).

“Using digital and mobile technologies in cities has become an increasingly everyday aspect of developed-world lifestyles, and is gaining ground in developing countries as well, although still dramatically subject to strong economic and geographical polarization” (Aurigi, Alessandro). As time has passed, technology has progressed significantly and the city has changed drastically as a result. The city of Detroit that once used to be on the city beautiful path has switched to a city profitable…
