In the medieval period, medical science hadn’t yet reached it’s peak of development. In the 1300’s, very few people had a full understanding of illness and disease, let alone how to cure them. Medicine was also dominated by religion at this time which lead to the belief that illnesses and diseases served as a punishment from God, and the only treatment was to pray to God for forgiveness (Alchin 1).The churches of Greece held and enforced these views on the public and anyone who questioned these…

Contrast and Comparison between Frog and Songbird Mating Calls By the law of the nature, most creatures seek to survive and reproduce. In other words, they reproduce to survive or to keep their species on living. In this research paper, I would compare and contrast the advertisement calls for mating between frogs and songbirds and talk about how the production of mating calls is related to Tinbergen’s four questions. Both anurans and passerines have calls. Also, males usually produce the mating…

Pol Pot: Beast of the Southeast Of all the cruel and horrendous tyrants history has bedeviled upon humanity, Pol Pot is among the most evil and unforgiving. It was under his rule that from 1975 to 1979, millions of innocent lives were snuffed out during an event known as the Cambodian Genocide. The Cambodian Genocide was an effort by the tyrannical government of Cambodia, known as the Khmer Rouge, to establish a perfect communist utopia. They planned to do this by disposing of anyone in the…

The game’s title screen displays a dagger with the word Macbeth in the middle. This is meant to represent the dagger used in the murder of Duncan, and I thought that this would be a good way to develop the motif of the play before the game even begins. The colouring around the dagger is pale yellow and blues, this is meant to give the dagger an ethereal feeling, which relates to both the supernatural aspects of the play and Macbeth’s mental state. The music in the title screen is called…

The very nature of war creates many contrasts. One such contrast, the opposing pair of kindness and cruelty, is demonstrated in many instances throughout Timothy Findley’s The Wars. There are three notable cases of the duality of these two opposing ideas: Robert and the horse with the injured leg, Robert in the gas attack, and Rodwell and his personality. War creates a contrast between kindness and cruelty. Robert demonstrates kindness with an injured horse. Near the end of part one, Robert is…

In my opinion, B.F. Skinner was a highly influential theorist in modern psychology. His work was hugely beneficial and has also been studied for years. Skinner was highly educated and know to be pretty straightforward about things. His theories have managed to help us in many ways. He studied the behavior patterns of many different living organisms including birds. Skinners most important work was the study of behaviorism and much of his work has been published in journals. He also wrote many…

The chemical differences between the substances water and oil are immiscible- meaning that they will not mix together. This also describes the relationship that I have with writing. Throughout my previous thirteen years of schooling I have encountered multiple teachers that have focused solely on the format in which is paper is written rather than the content that is found in a paper. The only time any of my teachers ever focused on content and grammar of our papers was not until they graded…

William Shakespeare excelled in the art of juxtaposing opposites. His brilliancy in presenting opposites together can be seen in both his literary styles as well as thematic depictions. The same style is evident in his pastoral drama As You Like It. Woven in elements of comedy and romance, the play presents a clash between the life of “the painted pomp”, the “envious court”; and the simple ways of the forest. The play upholds the theme of love and presents it in its varied forms. The love made…

Othello experiences mirrors his psychological state as Iago’s manipulation finally destroys his reputation and mind. Othello’s language dramatically changes as he is manipulated, it becomes more similar to that of Iago. For example, “I had rather a toad…” is an unusual lexical choice for Othello as he previously made references to ‘heaven’, but as his qualities have become more and more animalistic so has his language and the references he makes. Furthermore, as Iago’s techniques begin to work,…

Iago’s plan is falling into place, pitting Othello against those who he once thought to be his loyal friends. The accusation that Desdemona has been living a life of promiscuity behind Othello’s line of sight is given legitimacy as Iago dupes Cassio into a pitfall conversation discussing Bianca’s sexual advances. Othello, disguised behind some shrubbery, listens as Iago goads Cassio into divulging details of Bianca’s desire for him. Othello, believing that they are discussing Desdemona comes to…
