Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. Sandy Hook, Charleston, Oregon, Savannah, and San Bernardino all have one thing in common. They are all connected by the fact that mass shooting has occurred in their area. They are now on a long list of places that are traumatized and fearful of the future. These cities will always be defined as that place that has had a mass shooting. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has…

“Do you love being around animals and taking care of them?” This is a question I have answered yes to since I was in elementary school. Growing up I wanted to become a veterinarian, but being in college has changed my mind. I still love animals and I do love to take care of them, I just have no idea what specific career I want. This research paper has helped me find a good career that I am very interested in. What career would that be? A career as a barn manager. I do love horses and it would be…

Predation is defined as the interspecific interaction in which one species called the predator, eats the other species known as the prey (Reece et al., 2013). Due to these two species interacting with one another, adaptations arise over time in each which help them carry out their niche most efficiently. This paper looks at Mellivora capensis, or honey badger as it is commonly called. It is a predator specie belonging to the family of mustelid, which reside mainly on the continent of Africa…

As previously learned in class, the definition of evolution is the change in variant frequencies in a population over time. The four forces that evolution acts on are mutations, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection. From an evolutionary psychology perspective, the physical structure of the brain has changed over time, thus allowing humans to develop complex behavioral patterns. When comparing brains with primates, humans have a larger and heavier brain. When compared to a…

an important role in the development of swing. Examples include Artie Shaw’s childhood years on the Lower East Side of New York City where he spent time with migrant children from Eastern Europe and Trummy Young’s youth in the Yamacraw section in Savannah, Georgia where the community that he grew up in was dominated by blacks, Italians, and Chinese. As a decisive player in the development of jazz, migration has provided a context for the emergence of swing. The diverse nature of immigrants…

For you to get to know me, I have to tell you about the hardships I have faced, the love that…

Are we humans perfectly fitted to the world we live in today? Evolutionary psychology suggests this may not be the case. An important concept in evolutionary psychology is mismatch (link is external) (1). Evolutionary mismatch occurs when the environment that organisms are adapted to, via a slow process of biological evolution, changes so quickly and intensely that it hinders these organisms to fulfill their reproductive needs. Take an example from nature. Deforestation has changed the habitats…
