- 431: The Study of Linguistics
- ... in their language, showing either a lower form of language with less words and sounds or a higher form with only the necessary sounds and words. Also the syntax, also known as grammar, have an effect on the society. There is no 'proper' way to write a book, for example, but just a 'standard' way everyone uses. This may be thought of as the 'proper' way but rebels will use no ... through this we can see what has occurred and what will occur, like a time machine right before our eyes which we must study to use efficiently. The influence of different people has a major effect on our lives. Our political system, family, friends, this all may adversely affect our lives in ways we might regret. Influential people coining words, for example might 'nuke' a country. George Bush set a world ... something new, according to our culture and beliefs. Our evolution of language from a simple 'ug' to our advanced system of grammar has changed the world drastically. Communication between countries, people, have had eventually an effect on our lives. As mentioned earlier, there is no 'proper' way to use language. There is a standard way, as slang is a change on the standard, like options on a new car. The ...
- 432: Adam Smith
- ... published until 1776. In the passages which follow, Smith points to the impossibility of monopolizing the benefits of colonies, and pessimistically calculates the cost of empire, but the book appeared too late to have any effect upon British policy. Because the Declaration of Independence and The Wealth of Nations, the political and economic reliations of empire and mercantilism, appeared in the same year, historians have often designated 1776 as one of ... An additional quantity, it is evident, must be due for the profits of the stock which advanced the wages and furnished the materials of that labour." He could scarcely have said more plainly that the effect of a claim of interest is to raise prices without curtailing the wages of labour. Later on he says alternately: "As in a civilised community there are but few commodities of which the exchangeable value ... upon which it is bestowed; and in this consists his profit" (second account, chap. viii.) "High or low wages and profit are the causes of high or low price; high or low rent is the effect of it" (first account, chap. xi.) Contradictions like these on the part of such an eminent thinker admit, I think, of only one explanation; -- that Adam Smith had not thoroughly thought out the interest ...
- 433: Melatonin And The Pineal Gland
- ... the aging of our individual organs is hindered, as described in the first part of this paper, the diseases that often accompany that aging will no longer be able to do so. Melatonin will also effect various afflictions in the same way as it would effect atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries); with melatonin levels increased, the excess calcium salt that can cause so many problems is no longer present to cause them. The way in which melatonin effects our actual immune ... Certain T cells have memories, which is why many times after a person has had a particular infection, they are often immune when later exposed to the bacteria that caused the original infection. The main effect of aging on the immune system is that our T cells can no longer remember what cells are harmful to us, and can no longer distinguish our body's cells from harmful invading ones. ...
- 434: Economics
- ... the prices. If the labour earns more then their buying power will increase and therefore they would demand more goods. Then more people would be employed to produce these goods. It would have an accelerating effect on the developing economy. NGOS could actually provoke the exact opposite effect. A result of the protesting could be that Reebok would fire all the labour in Indonesia and employ more workers in the USA. This would lead to an increase in the buying power of American ... produce a disequilibrium in the economy. If the rich would save a substantial amount of money and thereby withdraw a significant amount of money from the circular flow they could trigger a so called ripple effect . It can be said that one person s spending becomes the others income. Due to this inequality it will be hard for the economy to grow. The poor will be limited to only buying ...
- 435: Pornography
- Suppose one accepts MacKinnon and Dworkin's suggested statutory definition of pornography. How does one who generally accepts MacKinnon and Dworkin's views on the pervasively harmful effect of pornography, and who accepts a need for legal redress of the harms perpetrated by pornography, deal with pornographic material? The ordinance proposed by MacKinnon and Dworkin would deal with such material by enacting legislation ... and for a remedy to be appropriate. There are problems with this kind of legal protection from social harm if MacKinnon and Cole's assumptions about the legal system are accepted. The sections may take effect only on the initiative of the Attorney General; it is this feature which led to charges against Ernst Zundel [for the publication of literature denying the holocaust and claiming the existence of a Zionist conspiracy ... a pornographic existence mean that some cases will come to light. If proponents of MacKinnon's ordinance adopt a suitable strategic posture, the ordinance will be effective in meeting their aim of limiting the harmful effect of pornography on women. The task for feminists, I would suggest, is twofold. First, organization of support mechanisms is needed to give women the resources to come forward and challenge those who harm them ...
- 436: Asthma And How Medication Allows For Increased Performance
- ... and steroid tablets are used as perverters and controllers of asthma. These drugs reduce the inflamation in the airways and reduce the need for other drugs. Steroids though take a few hours to have an effect and therefore ineffective if needed for immediate relief. Other treatments include allergy shots and Antihistamines which can be used as a preventer of asthma. These reduce allergic reactions in patients and therefore reducing the chance ... instructed to take many medications including a Theophylline drug before exercising. However, this drug is used to relieve attacks, not to control the asthma. By taking the drug prior to exercising, the Theophylline had little effect on Christie's asthma. Her doctor should have prescribed other medications for her to take instead of, or along with Theophylline because of the amount of time this drug takes to be effective. The best bronchodilator that could have been prescribed for Christie is bete-agonists. These bronchodilators produce the greatest effect with the least side effects and last for long periods of time. Theophylline may be a useful additional bronchodilator to add to beta-agonists in some patients. During the pollen season, much more of ...
- 437: Water Pollution: Is it as big of a problem as we think?
- Water Pollution: Is it as big of a problem as we think? The following essay will be looking at the factors that cause pollution, and the effect that pollution has on our world today. It will also investigate what it has in store for the future if things do not improve. It will also explore some of the methods used to treat ... for air drying. Percolation into the sand and air drying are the main processes involved in the dewatering process. Air drying requires dry, relatively warm weather for greatest efficiency, and some treatment plants have a greenhouse- like structure to shelter the sand beds. Dried sludge is used in most cases as a soil conditioner; sometimes it is used as a soil fertilizer because of its two percent nitrogen and 1 percent ...
- 438: Marijuana: The Legalization
- Marijuana: The Legalization Their Side: After the sustaining vote in November of 1996 and coming into effect the beginning of this year, marijuana is now legal to medical patients in California and Arizona. Proposition 215 reads as follows: The people of the State of California hereby find and declare that the purposes ... enough to mess with it. Of course, others have their opinions and I respect that. Lester Grinspoon states "One of marijuana's greatest advantages as a medicine is it's remarkable safety. It has little effect on major physiological functions. There is no known case of a lethal overdose....Marijuana is also far less addictive and far less subject to abuse than many drugs now used as muscle relaxants, hypnotics, and ... how to reduce marijuana abuse? "Let them smoke it a lot and it will kill those who use it thus reducing the abusers." Seeming how this paper of mine will not have much of an effect if any on the now set laws, perhaps that isn't such a bad idea.
- 439: Cask Of Amontillado
- ... of bells on the limbs of the recently dead"(1). Poe uses the horrifying sound of the bells to appeal to the auditory senses of the audience. The sound of these bells has a freighting effect on the audience. Every time Montresor takes special notice of the sound of the bells the audience is made aware of the surrounding silence. "Poe knew well the electrifying effect of sudden silence in the midst of revelry, revelry stages as escape from intolerable fear. His silences are as eloquent as those of Chekhov, except that the emotional lava with which Poes silences are ... curtain as could be devised" (Fagin 204). The reader is left with only the sound of the bells, a sound that even they cannot help but recall after reading the story. One can imagine the effect the sound of these bells would have when the story is performed. The final and most memorable sound would be the jingling of the bells. II. Humor Appeal Through the ironic naming of the ...
- 440: Censorship On The Internet
- ... are being regarded in the highest manner by ruling that concerned parents must keep the family intact and educate their kids to truly protect them against the information of the Internet. To see the true effect of the government regulating cyberporn, one must look into the future. If the government successfully censors cyberporn, the results may not have an immediate or apparent effect that would be detrimental to society, but the opportunities given to the government could redefine our democracy that our founding Fathers nether intended: constitutional rights would be diminished. First, the government censors cyberporn that leads ... when government had free reign over its subjects. Imagine growing up in a world where self-expression was stifled and sex was once again a taboo topic. As far as the censorship of cyberporns effect on sex and pornography could take two different paths: either sexual behavior would increase, or it would slowly become more conservative. Many strippers and hookers have turned to the net as a form of ...
