The writing on top says, “A graceful cheekbone depends very much upon chewing.” The ad is complete with two packs of Wrigley’s double mint gum…

In order to understand Sartre’s idea of existentialism, then this question of monstrous freedom must be addressed. One author wrote, “there is an infinite gap between the past and the…

This, in turn, has spawned a collection of individualistic visual expressions in respect to every different director and filmmaker.

Because of this, blue is often used as a color for bank…

written in different colors. Individuals were given surveys with either red, black, or green instructions. Because of its attribution to negative connotations, instructions in red are hypothesized to hinder the performer’s ability to solve the anagram. This means participants will correctly unscramble fewer words within the time limit when presented with a red inked survey. We also predicted that because participants with the red survey will unscramble fewer words, they will most likely rate…
