Reaction time

Moments in time can seem as though they have occurred slowly or extremely quick in accordance to the certain situation a person experienced. After all, every individual has perceived and experienced time in a distinct manner. Some have treasured time while others have detested how time passed. In the poems, “To His Coy Mistress”, “To the Virgins to Make Much of Time”, and “Sonnet 60”, the speakers made it evident that they are fond of time. With a deep realization, the speakers spoke on behalf…

weaknesses, but not all proved to be able to handle the problems inherited from the company. A slow domestic market in Japan, also proved to not help Komatsu. At the time the Japanese (YEN) was depreciating causing more (YEN) to equal one U.S. dollar. Ultimately, Komatsu was slowly losing money with the cost of operations not changing at the time. An overall dependence on the domestic market was not the most profitable idea and the need to expand globally was much needed. Many of the CEO’s were…

“In the end, I ran. I ran because I was a coward” (Hosseini 77). These words perfectly describe why Amir ran away when faced with the choice to help his friend Hassan when he was being assaulted or run away. Amir ran away because of the fear of Assef’s violence being turned against himself. Hassan has always had to stand up or take the blame for Amir in addition to that Amir can’t defend his beliefs and finally, Amir’s choice to run away when Hassan was being assaulted. One reason for Amir’s…

emotions and thoughts. Schools should require students to take a mindfulness course because it helps kids focus, changes negative thinking patterns, and decreases burnout in teachers. However, even with these known benefits, students still do not have a time in the day to practice mindfulness. All you need is ten to twenty minutes a day to reconnect back to yourself to receive all the benefits. One reason mindfulness is so important is because it has such a large impact on how kids and students…

notice the importance of integration of nature as well as how music can make a change of one’s mind. At first, we were asked to follow the beats given by professor with our hands. It is so surprising that we made the sound so harmonic. It is the first time that I met most people in workshop, however, we successfully perform the symphony together in the first trial. After that, professor gave some simple instruments for us to play with, for example…

chemicals in your brain, and the “high” you get from smoking marijuana is due to a certain part in your brain with the most of these THC like chemicals getting overstimulated.

When you take an edible the effects are noticeably different, it takes 30 minutes to an hour for the THC to take effect (instead of the almost immediate…

concussions would be common place in today's time, but all to any times the player leaves the hospital just to come back the next day. This repetition of injuries leaves only long lasting scars, rather not physical, but mentally as brain damage. However, like most medical preoccupations, a simple cure can be given to the patient of a concussion victim, and in its simplest form the cure would be time. Not only it is proven that extended periods of time can fully heal the effects of a concussion,…

we’re once again being bombarded with advertisements upon advertisements promoting sales, deals, and more between November 24th and December 25th (with some even extending past that into “New Years Savings” as well). It’s Christmas time again, which means it’s time to buy gifts to hold over your friends and family until next year's sales start up. But why do we do this? What has spurred us to spend this holiday and others like it not with those close to us, but in a department store? The short…

wasn’t entirely black. This led into a discussion about what qualified as a black cat and a discussion about to what lengths people believe in and adjust their behavior according to the superstition. Eventually, the dissemination of fake news, public reactions to that news, social media, and the black cat debate were combined and the piece began to…

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, something you desire is something you long or hope for. Desire is this hole that you ache to fill. In “Remnants of a Carnival”, Clarice Lispector expresses the desire she had as a child to experience carnival and finally feel like an individual, by escaping the demands of her family. Through perceivable increases in her desires to be a part of carnival and to feel like a woman, and by showing that she was in a position that warranted escape, Lispector…
