Rules play a significant part in any activity system. How we define an activity system is best described in the essay “Activity Theory” by Kain and Wardle. In this essay they define an activity system as “a group of people who share a common object and motive over time, as well as the wide range of tools they use together to act on that object and realize that motive.” (Kain and Wardle 275). They establish boundaries and limits to maintain order in a given system as an example the “Dead Ball”…

Introduction: From rest to exercise the human body’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems must integrate and adapt to changing conditions—especially during incremental increases in submaximal exercise to maximal exercise. The coordination of cardiovascular and respiratory systems coalesce to form what is known as the cardiorespiratory system (Lotric & Stefanovska, 2000). Within muscle cells there are extremely limited stores for anaerobic energy; thus, a well-coordinated cardiovascular and…

In If I Die in a Combat Zone,Tim O’Brien argued that the Vietnam war was instantiated with an unjust cause and was unnecessarily brutal through his depiction orders given my battalion leaders, how the soldiers treated children and adults in villages, and the soldier’s experience of being forced to fight in a war which they believed against while leaving everything they know back home. Commonly throughout the chapters where O’Brien is touring in Vietnam, a theme of orders given to (or knowledge…

Who doesn’t like to count stars at night? Especially a child, when he/she looks at the sky for the first time, his/her heart gets filled with many questions. Every time they learn something new, they come up with even more and more questions. Can you recall how many times you experienced something like this when you were a child?

written within the website. The website itself seems credible as not anyone can contribute to the article. This is because it has a single Author. It also has many other articles on other safety implementations within a car, such as airbags and crumple zones. Overall, the information I obtained from this website was very helpful in the writing of my essay and it also helped me further understand the physics involved in the use of…

that there is a small planet, Proxima b, orbiting Proxima Centauri. Details of Proxima b include a semi-amplitude of 1.4 ms^-1, a mass of 1.3 Earth masses, a semi major axis of .05 AU, and that it lies squarely in the center of the classical habitable zone for…

The Maya was an ancient civilization renowned for their remarkable architecture as well as their exceptional knowledge in astronomy and mathematics (Peterson and Haug 2005, 322). Reaching their population peak around 750 A.D, the Maya experienced societal collapse between 750 and 950 A.D (Peterson and Haug 2005, 322), the cause of the collapse remaining a heavily debated topic today by archaeologists. This essay will argue that the primary contributing factor of the Maya collapse was drought;…

1. What is your first impression of the novel? After reading the first portion of the novel, “The Hot Zone” by Richard Preston, I got the impression that this novel is more serious in the sense that it is mercilessly portraying reality. The initial section of the novel describes a few different characters who have either been infected by a deadly disease or are dealing with patients who have been experiencing intense symptoms of a deadly disease. In the end of this section, some of the most…

I have grown up in a country and time where progress has been definitive. It has been in the time that my feet imprinted this earth and my lungs breathed this air that the Supreme Court has passed a bill for marriage equality and in the last eight years my nation has elected the first man of color to lead our democracy. It is that man who has helped to cut carbon emissions while making true strides for equality. Equality is not found in the darkness of segregated spaces or within the confines…

the moon is between Earth and the Sun. Lunar eclipse occur, when Earth is between the Sun and the moon. As your location rotates into sunlight, you see the sunrise. When your location rotates out of sunlight, you see the sun set. If we had one time zone for earth, noon would be the middle of the day in some places, but it would be morning, evening and the middle of the night in others. According to the writer Judith, Kitchen in her short story called Standard Time she described the sunset and…
