A common theme in sports is the friction between team owners and players in regards to salary and race. Just recently in this past year, the NBA commissioner ordered LA Clippers Donald Sterling out of his team’s business and urging him to sell due to racist remarks. (Greg Botelho, 2014) Still in 2014, there is racial discrimination just as in the 1920’s, 30’s, and 40’s, even though Abe Saperstein was known as the person who had forced integration of African Americans into basketball.

completing the study. There were no major deficiencies among the subjects except some mild flaws (ex. Myopia) that would not affect the result so can be ignored. Procedures The experiment was consisted of four linear comparison blocks. The black lines came as four different length groups (1 inch, 2 inches, 3 inches and 4 inches) and the purpose was to find out whether the size of the stimulus would affect the subjects’ judgement of difference limen.

In today’s world, many people place a clear division between the arts and sciences; the arts and humanities occupy one realm of being while the sciences and logic occupy another. In clear contrast to this notion, history shows that some of the worlds most famed painters and sculptors lived dual lives among the leading scientists, doctors, and mathematicians of their day. The hyper realistic figures and architecture seen in the paintings and sculptures of the…

30, 1854, the North was stunned. (history-world.org) Stephen A. Douglas, the man who brought the Kansas-Nebraska act to congress was a strong believer in popular sovereignty.

degrees would be one-fiftieth of the circumference, since 360 divided by 7.2 = 50. So with this information he set up an equation that had the total degrees of the circumference of the earth multiplying the distance from Alexandria to Syene, and then dividing that by the degrees of the shadow which solved the circumference of the Earth. 360 degrees*800 kilometers/7.2 degrees = 40,000 kilometers, (3). From solving his equation, he found that 40,000 kilometers was the measurement of the…
