of them. To begin with, authoritarian offers escape from the problem of freedom through submission of others. Such individuals may seek for domination and or control the behavior of others. As a result submissive and submitted people are forming symbiosis. Another concept is destructiveness which helps to escape from the problem of freedom by proposing elimination of others and/or the outside world. According to Fromm destructiveness can be masked as patriotism, love, duty or conscience and it…

Ammonification is the microbial degradation of nitrogenous compounds resulting in ammonia. Nitrification is a process by which ammonia is oxidized to nitrite and then nitrite is oxidized to nitrate. Denitrification is a process by which nitrate is converted into nitrogen gas or nitrous oxide by denitrifiers. Nitrogen fixation is a process by…
Gawain’s heterosexual courtly love games. These courtly love games are the “play of paramorez” spoken of in Cleanness by God which lead to straight sex. It would appear then that heterosexuality and homosexuality operate in this poem in a dangerous symbiosis. Even the girdle which reaffirmed Gawain’s masculinity also symbolize the threat homosexuality presents to heterosexuality, which Gawain himself notes in lines 2433-36. Just as both Cleanness and SGGK mention the homosexual only to…
Is Racism a Permanent Feature of American Society? Racism is the “belief that a race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.” In recent times scholars have argued whether or not racism will continue or discontinue to be a persistent reality for this nation. Permanence is “last[ing] indefinitely without change”. Some debate that looking at history reveals the pattern that racism will never be…
is also connotated as the Vedic god of fire of Hinduism and a sacrificial ritual performed by the Hindu priests to connect Humans to God.

Coral Reefs One of the world’s most species rich and bio diverse ecosystems are the tropical coral reefs. Emmysarus, a staff writer/ blogger for Scribol stated in their article “The World’s Most Endangered Ecosystems: Coral Reefs, “Unfortunately, areas which are home to the richest biodiversity often suffer from the greatest amount of damage and disruption”. These “rainforests of the sea” are home to thousands of species of fish and invertebrates that live among the hundreds of different and…
Not so long ago, wolves roamed nearly all of the United States—red wolves in the South and grey wolves in the North. Wolves have been mostly extricated in all of the United States except for a few small remaining populations. Wolves played a major role in creating a positive affect on the ecosystem by creating biodiversity in certain areas and regions with their mere presence. Without the presence of wolves, many animals and the environment could suffer huge population losses to include…
In the excerpt from Ed Yong’s book I Contain Multitudes, he artistically argues the importance of studying microbiomes, in relation to other scientific disciplines. To craft his argument, he uses analogies to show the likeness between the Earth’s ecosystems and human internal body functions, personifies small organisms to evoke compassion from the reader, and utilizes the personal pronoun “we” to create a sense of social cohesion. The study of microbes is often neglected due to the apparent…
For anyone who sat through the insufferable and laughable Ouija in 2014, you experienced a film that relied almost exclusively on jump scares, whizz-bang noises, and some of the most stilted acting and wooden dialogue this decade. The film's reliance on the "Lewton Bus" tactic, where we brace ourselves for something to scare us only to have something else reveal itself in that very moment, was used so much the movie became a joke in and of itself. And yes, sitting in the theater, I looked…
The conservationist perspective derives from the management and stable use of land. In contrast, the preservationist perspective is based on maintaining the ‘untouched’ (by humans) condition of certain areas on Earth. Leopold’s phrase, “In those days we had never heard of passing up a chance to kill a wolf.” , evokes the feeling of remorse towards misconceptions of the food chain amongst the mountain (Leopold, 14). For instance, Leopold states, “ I thought because fewer wolves meant more deer,…
