- 701: The Influence Rock And Rap Music Has On Young People
- ... lyrics and beat of many songs we hear again influence our children. Lyrics like "I want to fuck you like an animal" from "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails is a prime example of cause and effect. When children hear these words they have to go out and try it for themselves and along with other influences we have twelve, eleven and even ten year olds trying sex and getting pregnant. Bloom ... from marijuana is very evident at concerts. As the concert goes on many people are offering it to whoever may want some, including kids. As Bloom concluded: My concern here is not with the moral effect of this music whether it leads to sex, violence, or drugs. The issue here is its effect on education, and I believe it ruins the imagination of young people and makes it very difficult for them to have a passionate relationship to the art and thought that are the substance of ...
- 702: Education History
- ... particular values. As the spirit of science, commercialism, secularism, and individualism quickened in the Western world, education in the colonies was called upon to satisfy the practical needs of seamen, merchants, artisans, and frontiersmen. The effect of these new developments on the curriculum in American schools was more immediate and widespread than its effect in European schools. Practical content was soon in competition with religious concerns. Vocational education was more significant in the Middle colonies than elsewhere in colonial America. The academy that Benjamin Franklin helped found in 1751 ... and bible readings in public schools. Nevertheless, sectarian control over public education was broken by the provision for religious freedom. The Industrial Revolution began in Europe and spread to America a few decades later. One effect of the change from an agricultural to an industrial economy was the demand for schools to train students for the workforce. Vocational and industrial education better supplied students with the knowledge to enter a ...
- 703: Laziness
- ... light inhibits Langerhans cell function and is cytotoxic for keratinocytes. If the Langerhans cells are indeed causing the activation of CD4+ T lymphocytes, it makes sense that this type of therapy would have a beneficial effect. UVA therapy is usually done in conjunction with methoxalen, a photosensitizing drug. A proposed theory for the efficacy of this treatment states that there is an intercalation of methoxalen into DNA forming cross-links between strands that interfere with DNA synthesis and block cell proliferation. This form of therapy is also known to have a suppressive effect on cell-mediated immune responses in the skin, which is an important point because a recent study has shown that CD8+ lymphocytes also play an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Several orally ... had been proposed that methotrexate may work by causing a blockage of DNA synthesis, but recent evidence has demonstrated that it may affect mononuclear cells in skin, blood, and lymphatic tissue, leading to an immunosuppressive effect. The downside of this treatment is liver and kidney damage. Etretinate, a retinoic acid derivative, is used in conjunction with UVA treatments to lower the effective dose of both. Systemic corticosteroids are also quite ...
- 704: Chronicle - Life And Times Of Sula And Nel
- ... was lighter in color than Sula and could have passed for white if she had been a few shades lighter she. A trip to visit her dying great-grandmother in the south had a profound effect on Nel s life. In many ways the trip made her realize her selfness and look at things around her in a different light, eventually sowing the seeds that initiated the friendship between herself and ... received. It was an accident, but like most secrets between friends, it only made the bonds that bind them even stronger. The accidental death of Chicken Little at the hands of Sula had a profound effect on the friendship. Sula had not meant to kill Chicken and Nel knew this, and therefore made the unspoken pact of silence with her. The incident only exemplified the bonds that made two disparate people ... if anyone had seen what had transpired. The callousness of that act and the fact that even though Nel acted calm about the situation, she did not try to save him also, further demonstrates the effect that each one had on the other. Sula was a mean in many ways because she believed no one loved her except for Nel. When she overheard her mother say that she liked her, ...
- 705: Methamphetamine: Built for Speed?
- ... affects dopamine primarily, a neurotransmitter linked to pleasure and reward. (Oddly, alcohol also affects a dopamine center.) Often, MDMA is "cut" with speed to lower the street price of the drug, thus changing the overall effect. The two are similar in chemical makeup but one cannot be made from the other. Slightly changing the chemical makeup produces a wholly different effect in the human brain. While both have addictive potential, speed, because of its dopamine ties, is much more profoundly addicting. Qualitatively, speed and ecstasy supposedly give off "glows" that are far different. Ecstasy has a ... one of several compounds in the brain. "Many drugs that are addictive, have primary or major effects on the dopamine system (nicotine, amphetamine, cocaine, alcohol, heroine)," says Plunkett. "Drugs that don't have a major effect on dopamine generally aren't 'addictive' in the same way -- Marijuana, MDMA, LSD, psilocybin, etc. Although abuse potential is there, it doesn't generate the same kind of craving. Dopamine is normally involved with ...
- 706: Marijuana for Medicinal Purposes
- ... promotes appetite in some cancer and AIDS patients. Drugs like morphine, valium, lithium, and codeine are regularly given to patients and are far more addictive, having many more negative affects than Marijuana. Marijuana "has little effect on major physiological functions. There is no known case of a lethal overdose; on the basis of animal models, the ratio of lethal to effective dose is estimated at 40,000 to 1." (Bakalar and ... ago are struggling over what to tell their children, but they need to realize that today's marijuana is more potent than the version they smoked thanks to the invention of hydroponics; a self-monitoring greenhouse setup intentionally to help cultivate marijuana. It waters itself, adjust the temperature, and optimize the conditions causing THC levels to drastically increase, and even cause crystallization of the plant because of its high potency. Testing ...
- 707: Pollution in Eastern Europe
- ... should be pointed out at this time that the pollution that is discussed here is only related to pollution that directly harms people and the environment they live in, not pollution like carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases or other factors concerned with the global warming issue. The causes of environmental problems and the actual problems that were caused are the first subject that must be explored. Air pollution is by far ... now appropriate to discuss the nature of the problems that these environmental hazards created. The biggest problem that these environmental hazards cause is directly damaging human health. Along with this, there is a strong negative effect on the environment itself, which in turn damages human well being by reducing potential agriculture, forestation, and tourism. Overall, the health problems of eastern Europe are probably not as bad as strong anti-Communist journalists ...
- 708: The Plight of the Toads: An Analysis
- ... awkward feel, as well as gives the word "work"(1) a inflection of ugliness. He also does this with the word "pitchfork"(3), which gives it the feeling of sharpness. Together, this strengthens the persuasive effect of the poem. The second stanza continues on with a broadening of the description of the first toad. Here another excellent metaphor is used when the toad is linked to a type of poison. Larkin ... individuals from the toad, Work, and their apparent happiness. He effectively uses alliteration in the line "Lecturers, lispers, / Losels, loblolly-men, louts - / They don't end up as paupers;"(10-11) to create a droning effect that makes the list seem to go on indefinitely. This seems to make Larkin's argument better by showing this seemingly long list of individuals who supposedly escape work by using their wits. The metaphor ... to say, "But I do say it's hard to lose either, / When you have both" The meaning implied here is that one toad cannot be effectively eliminated because the other will cause the same effect. So as long as you have one you have both. Thus Larkins parallel between work and toads is completed, and while one may try to deny the strength and power of the toads, one ...
- 709: Hunger Of Memory 2
- ... move from the private world to the public world. Here, separation is a movement for a solution, which is citizenship. In How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accent by Julia Alvarez, the separation is an effect from Antojo. Richard Rodriguez immediately recognizes the separations in his early life. He considers the inside of his house to be private and the outside of his house to be public. His family and the ... theme of separation is developed differently in the novels Hunger of Memory and How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents. For Richard, a movement of separation gives a solution. For Alvarez, the separation is an effect from Antojo. Richard Rodriguez s separation results from the movement from the private to the public. According to Richard, separation is a good and necessary thing, but there is also a cost for it. The ... the development as a positive but he sadly realizes there is cost toward citizenship. He loses a private individuality by being assimilated. In return, he gains a public individuality. For Alvarez, the separation is an effect from Antojo.

- 710: The Effects and Implications of Sin in The Scarlet Letter
- ... the closing scaffold scene is thus an aberrant action on Dimmesdale's part and must have been prompted by the guilt he feels. His act of adultery--through guilt--thus manipulates his very actions. The effect of sin on Dimmesdale's life is similar its effect on Chillingworth. Roger Chillingworth's obsession with vengeance results in his eventual degeneration. His physical appearance changes greatly over the years he spends in Boston because of his fixation with exacting revenge: A large number ... and evil in his face... His unattractive appearance is the physical manifestation of his animosity towards Dimmesdale. Furthermore, Chillingworth's morals also undergo a deterioration, in that he devotes his life to tormenting Dimmesdale: in effect, sacrificing his fellow man for self-gratification. The change from his initial integrity to his consequent depravity is apparent even to himself, as he asks Hester: Dost thou remember me? Was I not...a ...
