One of the biggest contributions to the effects of Darwinism in humans may, arguably, be our psychological complexes, one of the most prevalent of which being the teenage invincibility complex. As teenagers, we, consumed with the ideas of thrill seeking and reckless enjoyment, adopt the philosophy that we are above harm and immune to danger, boosting our confidence and making us more apt to take risks. Of course, I am no different. I possess the same clouded logic and nativity as many others my…

Leisure and luxury compared to labor and poverty are important concepts in the works of Henry IV, Part 1 by William Shakespeare and Winter’s Bone written by Daniel Woodrell. Each story has the novel concept of good versus evil and right versus wrong; debating whether to follow in a father’s footsteps or creating one’s own path to happiness; overcoming great obstacles and sharing in defeat; learning how to take care of others before being able to take care of oneself. Ree Dolly and Prince Hal…

Moeller Football With a tradition like the Archbishop Moeller football team, it is easy to see why they have had the success that they have had. With their grueling conditioning, tireless preparation, and endless support from the students of Moeller High, they have managed to have 52 winning seasons, every year when equipped with a senior class. Friday’s at Moeller High School are unique to any other school in the country, the hallways are electric, the fight song blares on the announcements,…

cabin with its decayed wood that smelled of raw earth. Despite the ungodly hour, our campsite was glittering with life. A fire was flickering, but there was no smell of meat in the air. I craned my neck and frowned at the sighted of the vegetables roasting. My small nose crinkled with apprehension. Hippies, my dad called these people, my mom used a euphemism: animal activists. My dad would have loved camping. He would have dragged me to the top of the hills and swam into the darkest, deepest…

The strategy that Starbucks uses is broad differentiation where they seek to differentiate their product offerings from rivals’ with attributes that will appeal to a large variety of consumers. The key market characteristic for the strategy of differentiation to work is that buyers’ needs and preferences are very diverse and cannot be satisfied with a standardized product offering. This is an evident characteristic of the market because consumers all have different preferences on the way they…

Manhood is viewed as tenuous and aches for public approval. The need for public approval has been traced by evolutionary and social theories to the origin of men’s competitive nature to claim a social status (Bosson, et.al 2008). However masculinity cannot be grouped into one category. For instance, the way athletes and fraternity brothers value masculinity share similarities but their methods of achieving it differ. On the other hand masculine relations differ in terms of race since the actions…

What does it mean to be Australian? In Australian media, an Aussie is typically portrayed as a Caucasian, larger-than-life, masculine male who tames crocodiles for a living and lives in the bush; the vast, yet stunning landscape that occupies over 70% of the country (1).

Australia is becoming a very multicultural country, with the amount of residents born over seas…

Sunday has been traditional fried chicken day in many homes. We all know of the negative concepts of frying food. It doesn't matter that we love it it's gonna kill us. I think I have found an oven fried chicken recipe that is just a wee bit healthier but still tastes great. To quote my grandson Jacob Mathew "If the Colonel would have your chicken recipe he would be a General by now." Well Jake is almost three and very wise but I think his Mom prompted that remark. If you're looking at the…

Pete Norris, the thirty-three year old Internet Security consultant, rapist and multiple murderer, was restless. As he had been for the past month, since the death of Analise Helm. She'd been His fifth victim, but very different from the rest. Ms Helm, he'd met on the dark net, and she'd offered him an opportunity that he'd never before contemplated, the offer of joining him in his spree, not, as she may have thought, as a partner, but to Pete, as a witness. A live human being, to be there as he…
