it had feathers. Medicine is very hard to update because they are in a textbook & to update those it could take years but that ends today, now we have Phones, Tablets, Computers, ETC But with that technology they made a textbook that's online & is always updating usually 2-3 times a day! The Article states “There is even a website called “up to date” that constantly updates medical textbooks.” I learned that Medical textbooks are constantly updated. There are more things you would be shocked if…

In the introduction of the textbook, it explains how the Grimke sister’s main issue was allowing women to speak in public and the many speeches these women gave about slavery. One key example that did show that the textbook and book compare to another is in both the textbook and book it mentions about the Liberator that was written by William Garrison. In the textbook it tells a little information about it but in the book it elaborates more on the…

managers (textbook). As direct instructors, parents teach their children skills and explicitly advise them on various matters. (add another thought) Indirect socializers influence their children by the examples they lead. They provide indirect socialization through their own behaviors and attitudes around their children. And finally, as social managers, parents manage their children’s social lives by deciding what experiences to expose them to (schools, day cares, play dates, etc.) (textbook).…

already done helps. A textbook shows knowledge that multiple scholars have put together for other people to benefit from. According to Thabo Mbeki in “Africa: The role of higher education”(2005) “ Its incomplete collection of books and manuscripts leaves us in no doubt as to the magnificence of its intellectual contribution.” (para. 2) This statement from Mbeki shows how students feel they can not be as smart as everyone knows that they can because of the lack of textbooks. This shows pathos by…

At the chapter 1-3 in this textbook, they’re explaining about four big ideas in psychology which are critical thinking, the biopsychosocial approach, the two-track mind, and exploring human strengths. Among these ideas, the two-track mind was the most interesting idea to me. The textbook explains that the two-track mind is the concept that “our perception, thinking, memory, and attitudes all operate on two levels: a conscious, aware track, and an unconscious, automatic, unaware track” (pg. 5). I…

To be a member of the board you do not need to have a degree in History or English (Class Notes). Actually you do not even need to have a college degree at all!

When a student begins their educational journey to become a nurse, most assume no prior science knowledge beyond the fundamentals they gained during their high school education. Hole’s Anatomy & Physiology (14th edition), a textbook for the introductory level student, assumes no previous knowledge of any science course and places emphasis on the fundamentals of human anatomy and physiology. The authors David Shier, Jackie Butler, and Ricki Lewis bring forth extensive knowledge through years of…

conducted on 19 introductory textbooks for accounting examined certain college textbooks for gender discrimination. The researchers carefully examined the male and female examples used in the textbook and how the examples were portrayed in business and private conditions. The study concluded that gender roles and gender stereotypes were replicated throughout the textbooks and they conveyed women as having a responsibility toward home and career. Females in the textbook situations were often…

The thesis of Nelson’s 1990 essay about the “Venus” figurines of the upper Paleolithic era is that anthropology is itself recirculating unfair and poorly thought-out gender norms in its imposition of meaning onto the figurines. Her most important points are less about the Venus figures themselves, and more about the role of gender. Even within academia, she observes a trend involving the recirculation of imposing gender norms onto artifacts without any real evidence for it (Nelson 12). Nelson…

According to the textbook, it mentions, “The four generations identified in today’s workforce are the Silent Generation, Baby boomers, Generation X and lastly Generation Y” (Chapter 1, pg.14). The textbook also states how, “Baby boomers which is the largest generation had to become extremely competitive to find jobs and promotions and how many became workaholics while spending less time with their families to keep their jobs or to obtain greater pay or promotions” (Chapter, pg. 14-15).…
