Many researchers have wondered the effects of pre-natal stress on developing organisms and it’s influence on their development. This is especially important when it comes to reproduction of humans and how people can ensure that human babies will not develop conditions that would impede their own attempts of reproduction or be detrimental to their health. By studying the effects of pre-natal stress on rats, it allows scientists to gain an understanding of how environmental factors can affect…

The article I choose was "Effectiveness of an e-learning tool for education on pressure ulcer evaluation" by Morente, Morales-Asencio and Veredas. The purpose of this article was to determine if e-learning modules would be more effective in teaching the assessment and treatment of pressure ulcers than the traditional classroom methods. Pressure ulcers are serious preventable clinical complications that can lead to pain, infection, hospitalization, and even death (Kelly & Isted, 2011).…

The population within Williamsburg can be divided into three groups: the college students, the service workers, and the elderly folk. Usually these three groups roam in isolated circles from each other, they never really interact. My initial thoughts going into the project were that I wanted to zone in on the specific actions of service workers and a William and Mary student towards each other on the bus. What was of interest to me, was the unique society that is derived from riding a bus; the…

On the other hand, Laclau thought that Poulantzas is too far in criticizing Miliband incorporate 'uncritically ' the ideological conceptions of the adversary to scientific criticism. For Laclau, “Miliband 's text has not progressed sufficiently to the field of theoretical formalization be able to accept Poulantzas ' categorical assertion that Miliband reduces 'the role of the State to the conduct and behavior of…

“Candle Laboratory” - Using the Scientific Method Background: Science laboratories should be used over demonstrations and worksheets because of a higher retention rate, about 75%, of information. Also, engaging students makes learning hands-on minds-on which is part of the How People Learn framework. Student engagement and retention is the reason that the How People Learn framework should be incorporated into science laboratories as it increases student learning. The four components of this…

Judee Burgoon’s, Expectancy Violations Theory also known as EVT, explains how individuals react to unexpected violations of social norms either in a positive or negative way. Scientific theories usually predict and explain how something is going to work and we usually never try to tweak proven scientific theories because they are great proven hypothesis. In the beginning of Burgoon’s research, her theory focused on how preferred personal space for an individual is created and confronted. These…

Technology is becoming a more prevalent part of society. Many people have cell phones. Many schools are required to have computers. New technologies are going to keep coming up and consistently as educators we are told to continually learn about the new types of learning technologies that are coming out.
