- 27001: Propaganda Model
- ... justification. In addition, if Communism is the ultimate evil, pragmatic politics suggest that accommodation of Fascism and other state terror can be justified if it serves the anti-communist cause. In relating Herman and Chomsky's "Propaganda Model" and Karl Marx's claim in "German Ideology" that "the ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships" is an easy comparison. In this quote, "Mass of laborers, crowded into the factory, is ... only are they slaves of the bourgeois class, and the bourgeois state; they are daily and hourly enslaved by the machine, by the overlooker, and above all, by the individual bourgeois manufacturer himself"; shows Marx's opinion of how the influence of the upper class controls the proletarians, of how the inherent self interest of the bourgeois class leads to the domination of the proletariat class. These two views are ...
- 27002: Psalm 23
- ... sheep are lying down in green pastures, it means they have their tummies full. The "quiet waters" might better be thought of as "restful waters." David had sinned in his life when he had Bathsheba's husband killed. In his next verse, "he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake" (Psalms 23:3), he tells us that he recognized that he was that little lost sheep that had strayed from the fold, and his shepherd had restored him. While he realizes this, he also ... but bless him with "goodness and love" (Psalms 23:6). The psalms record deep devotion, intense feeling, exalted emotion, and gloomy depression. They play upon the human soul with all the stops pulled out. It's no wonder this psalm is one of the most widley known and remembered of the psalms. Jews, both Orthodox and Reformed, know this psalm. Christians of all denominations are acquainted with this psalm. David ...
- 27003: Mind Sports
- ... a test that has not been studied for but that will decide something important, except that chess also has the added problem of time. Imagine taking that test with a time limit, like the SATs for example, but that the clock that is keeping the time gives off a faint ticking sound. In a large room that is completely silent the only thing audible will be that noise, it is extremely nerve-racking for any inexperienced tournament player. It has also been known to drive some professionals to the brink of madness. Most people who do not consider chess a sport either dont play, or are just unaware of the facts. It is not easy to understand just how difficult the game really is if tournament play has never been experienced. To many people chess will never be ...
- 27004: Psychological Properties Of Ya
- ... and taking a deep breath) cause an increase in skin conductance, which indicates an increase in arousal. The authors of this study did not provide a detailed analysis of the results or of the experiment s possible flaws. They imply that the results agree with earlier research on the subject, such as the rat experiment previously mentioned. However, previous research suggested that yawning increased because of arousal; this study implies that ... going to bed provides further support for this theory. For example, since subjects are naturally becoming sleepy in the hour before retiring (thus causing the arousal level to drop), the yawn may be the body s way of resisting fatigue by inducing arousal. Once the subjects went to bed no yawns were reported; they had, in effect, given in to being tired and no longer needed to induce arousal. Finally, since ... proposed that yawning has become such a frequent and important part of animal physiology because it serves a protective purpose. In some situations that lack the necessary external stimulation, low arousal could threaten an animal s life. According to this theory, yawning has evolved as a guard against inattentiveness by inducing arousal in certain situations. A modern example of this is driving; stimulation is low, yet failure to pay attention ...
- 27005: Shakesphere
- ... Shakespeare is presented to an audience, the audience automatically assumes that the play will have tragic or dramatic connotation. But is there a such thing as a Shakespearean comedy? This question is answered when Shakespeare s The Comedy of Errors is read. In this play, Shakespeare creates comedy using awkward situations and playing on different words. The first situation in the play that is "slightly" abnormal is the general scenario. There ... I shall have a holy head" (p.16). In this passage Shakespeare is playing on the words bless, cross, and holy. The cross being a symbol of the Christian faith will be struck over someone s head giving them a holy or "wholly" head. Funny! There are many examples of puns and situations. But to get the actual feeling for the comedy in it all, it would be best to read or go see the play. A lot of the comedy involved is based on the director s interpretation.
- 27006: The Human Heart
- The Human Heart The human heart is a specialized, four chambered muscle that maintains blood flow in the circulatory system. The heart is located in the thorax, it lies left of the body's midline, above and in contact with the diaphragm. It is behind the breastbone, or sternum, and between the lungs, with its apex tilted to the body's cavity left side. In most people the apex can be felt during each heart contraction. When the heart is at rest, the heart pumps about 59cc (2 oz) of blood per heart beat and 5 ... If the circulation to the brain is stopped, death ensues shortly. Since heart attacks are the number-one cause of death in the United States, the heart gets a great deal of attention. The heart's wall has three parts, Muscle tissue, or myocardium, is the middle layer. The inner layer, or endocardium, that lines the inside of the heart muscle consists of a thin layer of endothelial tissue overlying ...
- 27007: Psychology...discuss The Relat
- ... Information can be displaced .ie. old information somehow keeps being dumped whenever more recent information enters. Information can decay .ie. where the memory trace becomes eroded over time by an unknown physiological process, so it s detail becomes progressively extinct. Often, each factor plays an equal role in memory loss. One way to encode information befre it is erased in short term memory is by a process of organisation. This means ... is the "active" or conscious state of the learner while completing the task. Hence, "active" in the definitions of the four component processes. Gleitman (1995) follows the thinking of most theorists today, claiming that it s the way in which the individual encodes and organises the information provided, and how that information is processed and encoded psychologically. He states, Most theorists believe that long term memories are formed by a more active process in which the subject s own ways of encoding and organising the material play a major role. As a result, they regard short term memory not so much as a temporary storage platform but as a mental workbench on ...
- 27008: Aristotle
- ... He studied under another philopsopher Plato and later tutored Alexander the Great at the Macedonian court. In 335 B.C. he opened a school in the Athenian Lyceum. During the anti-macedonian agitation after Alexander's death Aristotle fled to Chalcis where he later died in 322 B.C. His extant writings, largely in the form of lecture notes made by his students, include the Organum (treatises of logic); Physics; Metaphysics ... the Platonic belief that a concrete reality partakes of a from but does not embody it with the exception of the Prime Mover (God), form has no separate existence but is immanent in matter." Aristotle's work was lost following the decline of the Roman Empire but was reintroduced to the West through the work of Arab and Jewish scholars, becoming the basis of medieval scholasticism. In my opinion Aristotle was one of the greatest and most important of the philosophers and scientists of the world's history.

- ... of depletion. Assumption C is a little different because in this assumption, you're not taking a rate of increase or decrease, you're simply adding or subtracting your level of arms to the country's desires. These all lead to a First-Order Difference equation because none of the rates are taken times themselves due to the country's reactions being don only one time. First-Order means nothing is squared, cubed, etc., and a difference equation adds or subtracts certain levels of need. 2.) DX(n) = b1 Y(n-1) - a1 X(n ... slope between Y(1), Y(2), Y(3),
Y(n) will alternate just as X(1), X(2),

- 27010: Abortion: Is it Murder?
- ... problem is that they have been killed legally because of abortion. Many people approve of abortion because they consider that a fetus is not an individual human until birth. Abortion is wrong and it shouldn't be legal. If a doctor killed a baby one minute after it were born, they would be charged with murder. But if they were to kill a baby one minute before it were born, and ... has the right to an abortion, but the fetus is a completely different life. Just because the unborn is dependent on the mother for nine months does not give anyone the right to end it's life. I hope that I have at least brought you to some understanding that a human fetus is a living individual. It should be remembered that a death occurs every time an abortion is performed ...
