The Hives

Besides captivating readers through the retelling of past events, Tennyson used his poetry to consider social issues of the Victorian era. However, unlike his rival Elizabeth Barrett Browning, he never outright proclaimed his stance. Alternatively, Tennyson’s poems rely on an active participation from the reader to provide them with meaning. Instead of telling the reader what to believe, Tennyson’s mission was to encourage discussion about Victorian social issues. Similarly, in his poem, The…

will always be there for me whenever I need them. I had an awful experience a few months ago; one night my friend did henna for my arms and it felt itchy all night and looked ominous. I didn’t even know that I had an allergic reaction; my arms had hives and some peeling. I texted my best friend about the situation and my best friend drove all the way to my home; she lives 30 minutes away from my home. Not only that, but she had to work at 8 a.m. She brought me to the hospital and after…

Ambivalent Conquests: Maya and Spaniard in Yucatan, 1517-1570 is centered around three Spaniards and their approach to Maya in the Yucatan Peninsula. Clendinnen weaves a tale of forced conversion, colonial power struggles, and mass torture, but she contextualized these horrors in a way that the rationales of the Spaniards do not get lost. However, the Maya side of the story gets lost with only one Maya figure, the resistance leader Nachi Cocom, emerges as an individual. The Catholic religion…

“There is no psychology of groups, which is not essentially and entirely a psychology of individuals” 1 –Allport, 1924. The opening statement describes Allport’s argument that; all group psychology can be explained by focusing on the psychology of individuals. In other words, he argues that the group psychology is a false label of individual psychology. Conformity is a part of group psychology that can be broken down into smaller parts, each with their own supporting evidence as separate…

There have always been fears of the unknown and things we cannot control, with the ever expanding technology we have in the world today it is no wonder that movies and television with humans being destroyed by technology is a common theme. As it is this idea in essence is the view that, ‘Technology - with all its promise and potential - has gotten so far beyond human control that it is threatening the future of humankind.’ Personally I view technology as a danger to people as it; is changing the…

culture have the power to decide what is important. This is seen when Salter states that the future belongs to crowds, and this will cause extremes of poverty and wealth, isolation from the natural world as well as a new population that will live in hives of concrete and on a diet of film, television and the Internet. This is a slippery slope because the crowds may not cause these things to transpire. This further discredits Salter as his evidence is not strong which weakens his claim that…

Our body as we know it is a complex system as well as the class room environment where skill learning takes place. This is due to the multiple moving parts inside the systems. Complex systems also have other facets to them such as having multiple levels to them, having attractor states to do things in certain ways, having self-emergent discovery, affordances constraints, as well as things working together independently but together as a whole. Our bodies being complex as well as the class room…

femur over time. The bone is rough in appearance and seems like it may have a similar texture to that of osteomyelitis, though I do not think the nasal growth has any connection to osteomyelitis. The shape of the growth is similar to that of a bee hive. It is my belief that the growth may fall into the category of a neoplastic condition (White et. al 2012: 452). Though, it could easily be argued the growth is sort of infectious disease it is unlikely. Most infectious diseases live little trace…

In the book Peace like a River how hands are described represent the characters souls. How the hands are described can tell us as the readers what type of soul or personality the character has. Reuben describes Roxana's hands as looking like they have done hard work. On page 179 he says “Roxanna Crawley was standing there looking thirsty; did I mention her knuckles before? This woman had worked.” This could mean that Roxanna has a soul that has drive and determination to get things done, but…

Flovent and the Drug’s off-Label Uses Generally speaking, pharmaceutical companies develop drugs focused on specific conditions. In most cases, these drugs can be used to treat symptoms or conditions they were not originally meant for. These situations would be considered an off label use, meaning it is being used for something other than its intended use. Flovent is no exception to this. It was originally developed for use by asthma patients, but it was later discovered to be an effective…
