Shock

and befriend are of the Afro-Caribbean subculture. Prior to attending FAMU, I had never tried southern fast food or food chains like, Zaxbys or Waffle House. When mentioning this to my southern friends at the university, they would look at me with shock, wondering what rock I could have been living under? While at the same time, many of them may have never heard or of had Caribbean food from restaurants like Golden Krust, Dutch Pot, and so on. Even with all that being said, I myself am not even…

AP Chemistry has made me realize that you need to work hard for the things you want. AP Chemistry is by far the hardest class I have ever taken. It was full of hard concepts and ideas that I could not seem to understand. Most times, I stayed up studying for tests until three in the morning. My teacher had tests that were based on past AP exams and in order to reach the highest score, a five, you usually needed to get a minimum percentage of seventy percent. Luckily, he usually curved the scores…

From electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), insulin shock therapy and frontal lobotomy. Because these treatments made a “noticeable effect” on patients, it was supposed to be a good option. Electroconvulsive therapy is also known as electric shock, where seizures are electrically induced in anesthetized patients for therapeutic effect based on the definitions in the historical dictionary by Shorter…

When reading “Invitation to Sociology” by Peter Berger we found that there are many interesting facts about sociology which many may not know. One interesting fact is sociology can be used for fighting crimes and increasing the influence of criminal activist in. This is interesting because there is information that is often not disclosed in crimes either from the police or crimes. Which is valuable to both parties because for the police it can allow them to solve cases which are needed to be…

husband, Mr. Patrick Maloney, a police officer. I am here to plead that Mrs. Maloney is not guilty of first degree murder, under the reason of temporary insanity. After her husband told her that he was leaving her, she went into a state of shock. This state of shock caused Mrs. Maloney to react in an abnormal way, causing her to hit her husband with lamb leg. The prosecutor might object and say she knew what she was doing the entire time, and that she had it planned out. However, I have one…

Gothic literature is littered with the philosophy that ordinary people are capable of terrible crimes. Most often these crimes involve horrifying murder. More specifically the murder of others without instigation on the victim’s behalf. Though there is no instigation, the victims may not be entirely innocent either, as in And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie or the short story by Edgar Allan Poe, “Thou Art The Man.” Christie’s novel includes characters who could not be punished by the…

Delbert Mann is the director of the 1979 version of “All quiet in the western front” movie and he is clearly a director that studied world war I very well as details ranging from extremely important to small minor details were included in the movie. The filming brilliantly captured the aspect of World War I and war in general. All the elements of the trenches were illustrated: the sand bags and trenches being in a curved shape like, huge rats crawling over and eating the unburied dead, the deep…

After cheering at my Cheerleading gym for a couple years I have known the existence of a special needs cheer team. I have always had an interest in helping out other teams in my gym. In the November of 2015, my father had received an email reaching out to the athletes for help on the special needs team at the gym . At first I was hesitant because I didn’t know any of the people on the team, the coaches personally, and other athletes that were going to help. I went to the first practice not…

parents usually never met or knew each other. In many cases, it was a big, family secret, but secrets, by nature, don’t stay secret forever. Many feel that secrecy regarding their adoption left them with negative feelings about their situation, and a shock later in life when the news was finally discovered or revealed. Modern adoptions are usually more “open.” Large adoption agencies have educational policies in place to provide adoptive families with the information and background that they…
