- 23561: Bullfrogs Hearing Capacity
- ... defending their territories and do not hesitate to attack invaders, even if a frog. Being that the bullfrogs have large ears, they should be able to hear many sounds from great distances, but we shouldn't assume this. I would like to design an experiment that would enable me to determine the range of frequencies that a bullfrog can hear using operant conditioning. Once I have determined the latter, I would ... complete, the experiment will begin with the bullfrog on the platform and a frequency of -250Hertz sent out through one of the speakers (just suppose the left side). I will observe and record the bullfrog's reaction; it will have two choices, to move or to stay put. If the frog doesn't move, it means that the frequency is too low for him to hear. If the frog does move, it must decide whether the left pathway, which is the correct one, or the right pathway. ...
- 23562: The "Around The World" Party at College
- ... the party I could hear the blasting music all the way from the street. When I reached the back of the house to enter I could distinguish the song that was playing; it was It's good to be King by Tom Petty.

Upon my arrival the host of the party informed me that there were ... he was talking his friend whose job it was to pump the keg when needed. People were sticking their cups in front of the tap as if they were fighting for food, and they hadn't eaten for days. There must of have been twenty people all forcing their cups in the general area of the tap. Once I had my beverage, I decided to go visit the rooms to see ... partying.

- ... is. If the survey focused on black youth, one would try to relate the drug education to the black community and its culture. The same idea applies if the focus was on white youth. It's the same idea advertisers have employed for years. McDonalds puts ads on rap stations that have a black narrator to appeal to the black community. They also put ads on stations that play Yanni that ... is important because if the majority of the 68% had only tried marijuana once or twice then officials would be looking at a different problem entirely. For example, if 2/3 of the 68% weren't regular users, then the focus of education would shift to not giving in to peer pressure and building self esteem. On the other hand, if it were only a small portion of the 68%, the ... seriously at face value now that I have thought of so many factors that have been left undefined. The statistic does not seem relevant, and definitely not useful to the public, without definition of it's parameters. What it does do is incite fear into the average newspaper reader who merely glances at the information and takes it at face value.
- 23564: Marijuana
- ... religious reasons. Several of our presidents are believed to have smoked it. Those presidents include Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and many others. John F. Kennedy smoked it to relieve his back pain. Also, many of America's great leaders were hemp farmers. This includes good ol' George Washington. Archeologists believe that cannabis was possibly the first plant farmed by humans. Many people think that marijuana is addictive, but this is false. Marijuana is less habit forming than either sugar or chocolate. When users take marijuana, it doesn't lead to violence-related crimes. Most users commit crime because they want to get marijuana, but this problem can be easily solved if the government would legalize marijuana again. When you take marijuana, it doesn't make you violent, in fact it leads to non-violence. There has never been a case that a person died from smoking marijuana. THC is one of the few chemicals that has no known ...

- 23566: Animal Farm: Comparison Between Book and Movie
- ... what was going to happen later on. In the book, there was many surprises that shocked me. One of those surprises was that Napoleon wanted Snowball ousted. Though Napoleon did not like Snowball, the wasn't really any evidence that he would try to kill Snowball. In the movie, Napoleon, had a bad image already. He had a mean look and shoved his way in front when Old Major gave his ... and call it Beasts of England, it takes away from the mood of the story. Another reason speech is so important is that in the book, animals sometimes questioned authority. Boxer had once questions Squealer's actions. It also made it so the regular animals besides the pigs could not communicate to each other and trying to guess their feelings was not the easy. The movie had a few more differences. The movie showed Mr. Jones being killed in the windmill explosion. The book showed him dying at a relative's house. The book did not show his death till the end so that before that, you might have thought he would attack again. The movie show the windmill blown up once when the book ...
