- 26752: “Newton Or Leibniz, Who Should Get The Credit?”
- ... did not copy the work of Newton as alleged because though Newton discovered calculus first, his studies were not published, thus not yet known to Leibniz. In an effort to lay claim to each other’s findings, the mathematicians had an exchange of letters. This later developed into a full-blown case with each other supported by friends and colleagues airing out their claims. Today, the general opinion among writers is that Leibniz’s discoveries were independent from Newton’s which was not the way it was during the 18th century when it was believed that he plagiarized the work of Newton. Newton thought of integration as finding fluents for a given fluxion so ...

- ... provides a thrill from shopping. Whether one dwindles hours away in a crammed brand-name mall, or zips quickly to a drug store located in a plaza, there are businesses everywhere, eager to take everyone's hard earned cash. The exchange of one's currency from their pockets into the register of any business is a purchase. These "purchases" are what all humans make as the direct result of shopping. Shopping is one of those tasks you either hate ... sunflower sweatshirts, and floral print sun dresses with matching sox and headband. This situation can be filled under a "Time Waste Shop", where one finds themselves browsing only to pass a void segment in one's life. Shopping to pass the time, whether you're waiting for someone or something to begin, can usually be associated with boredom, and I do not recommend this if you feel any type of ...

- ... longer is as innocent as he once was. Paul had realized that he was separated from his former life and that his leave had made him more aware of this. At the end of Paul’s leave he said to himself, “ I ought never to have come here. Out there I was indifferent and often hopeless-I will never be able to be so again”. Paul knew that he should never ... Front experienced was a main cause for their loss of innocence. If it were not for the comradeship with the other men in their unit all the soldiers would have been totally alone.

- 26755: 27 Years Of Influential 60 Min
- ... the television news business and 60 Minutes gave the viewing public what it craved--shocking interviews and investigations which led to the uncovering of crooks, terrorists, and swindlers. Witnessing doors being slammed in a reporter's face became customary to the show. Before 1968 the nightly news would simply broadcast headlines; comparable to reading a newspaper. But 60 Minutes became a television newsmagazine offering the reader revealing, on camera stories about ... Group, says that "60 Minutes invented a new genre of television programming-the newsmagazine-and in the process had a dramatic impact on the television industry and the viewing habits of the American people." Stringer's comment is very true because if one were to scan through a TV index today, they would see that nearly all channels are infested with talk shows, tabloid programs, interview shows of famous personalities, and ... programs, all of which derived elements from 60 Minutes. Given that 60 Minutes set a new standard for presenting the public with ground-breaking stories, creator and producer of the show, Don Hewitt, says "It's what you hear more often than what you see that holds your interest. The words you hear and not the pictures you see are essentially what 60 Minutes is all about." The shows that ...
- 26756: Magdelana Abakanowicz
- ... seen in museums all over the world. Often in her work she explores the alerted reality created by groups of sculpture in a gallery while also drawing heavily upon her personal and family history. Abakanowicz’s work demonstrates an evolution from themes to dwellings, to humans, to the primality of organic growth itself. Abakanowicz’s strong idealism and forceful speaking style suggest a productive tenacity born of a defensive self-belief. She feels “overawed by the quantity where counting no longer makes sense. By unrepeatedly within such a quantity. By ... species, in which each individual, while subservient to the mass, retains some distinguishing features. A crowd of people, birds, insects, or leaves is a mysterious assemblage of variants of certain prototype. A riddle of nature’s abhorrence of exact repetition or inability to produce it. Just as the human hand cannot repeat its own gesture, I invoke this disturbing law, switching my own immobile herds into that rhythm.”
- 26757: Abortion
- By: Blenda Reid E-mail: blreid@gte.net My sister and I were very close as children that’s why her decision to have an abortion surprised me. I was present the moment my sister was born.

After a month my sister called me on the telephone to let me know she had gotten an abortion. I was so hurt and angry that I didn’t know how to respond. All I could ask her was “Why?” I finally got an answer from her, but it was not an adequate reason to eliminate the life of an innocent child. Her answer ...
- 26758: “Minds Eye At Work”
- ... to be decided upon by the reader. I have chosen three stories: “The Horse Dealers Daughter”, “Jury of her Peers”, and “Taking Care”, and will discuss the implied ending of each. In D.H Lawrence’s story “The Horse Dealer’s Daughter”, the implied ending that I assume the writer is trying to obtain is fairly obvious. The character of Mable Pervin is very negative and insecure, with a disturbed sense of what it is to ... understood the character of Mable Pervin. This story without an explicit resolution leaves the reader feeling the frightfulness of Mabel and the actual contentment of Dr. Fergusson. “A Jury of Her Peers” by Susan Glaspell’s is a wonderful, suspenseful story.

- 26759: Controversy In Calvin Klein Advertisements
- ... coming from the back of the plane, insinuating something other than what is really going on, but there have not been any complaints about this ad, especially when at the end a voice says, “It’s organic!” meaning orgasmic. However, there has always been the controversy about Calvin Klein ads in magazines and on television. In the past, there was a big controversy that centered around the ages of the unprofessional ... over their comfortable underwear and bra. I understand that Calvin Klein is trying to sell underwear and bras, but I feel he is also selling sex. If you look at the expression on the woman’s face, she appears to be tired out and for some reason I think she also looks as if she has been used. The expression on the man’s face looks as if whatever they did together had no real meaning, and that it was just simply for pleasure. Earlier I had mentioned that the problem was the magazine I got this from, ...

- ... of Man did not pertain to black people or their descendants. All people were not ignorant, however. There was even a group of people who held surprisingly modern views on slavery; views some people haven't even accepted today. In his Reflections on Black People, Olympe de Gouges wondered why blacks were enslaved. He said that the color of people's skin suggests only a slight difference.
