Wolfgang Kohler's Experiment And Insight Learning
... cage. This
time Kohler placed the banana outside of the reach of just one stick and gave
Sultan two sticks that could be fitted together to make a single pole that was
long enough to reach the banana. After fiddling with the sticks for an hour or
so, Sultan happened to align the sticks and in a flash of sudden inspiration,
fitted the two sticks together and pulled in the banana. Kohler was impressed
by Sultan's rapid “perception of relationships” and used the term insight to
describe it. He noted that such insights are not learned gradually through
reinforced trials. They seemed to occur in a flash when the elements a problem
are set up appropriately.

The Ebola Virus
... take as little as to 8 to 10 hours to
result fatally. It starts off with a fever and symptoms of the flu. Then the
muscles in your face stop moving freezing your face into a mask. Just before
death, you start to bleed from every opening in your body starting from your
nose and mouth to your gums. Your internal organs liquefy and you vomit them up.
In reality, the virus has attempted to turn its host into a virus. You are dead
before you have even started to show signs of this virus. It is believed that it
is some sort of mutated form of AIDS because it started in the original spot as
AIDS did, Kinshasa and moved along the highway ripping its way through Northern ...

Vaccine
... safety and effectiveness of vaccines as opposed to
those of going unvaccinated.
Vaccines can cause complications that are more harmful than those of going
unvaccinated or even the disease itself. Professor of epidemiology at the
university of Washington, Dr Russell Alexander, points out that the panel set
up to determine the risks of vaccination did not compare it to those of being
unvaccinated (qtd in Miller 9). This means that the research done by the panel,
which proved vaccination risks to be 'too small to count', contains many
weaknesses. McTaggart links the appearance of learning disabilities, autism, and
hyperactivity to the beginning of the mass vaccin ...

Theory Of Human Development
... also known as free will, or "determined" by forces beyond one's control. I believe in the free will explanation, but not the type of free will commonly imagined. Humans do ultimately have the power to choose their actions, however the extreme influence of other factors, such as heredity, environment, and learned behaviors, may make it seem like a person's actions were predetermined. For example, if a starving people were put into positions where they could either eat a Subway turkey round placed in front of them or just sit there and stare and stare at it, common sense shows that these people would eat. However, it is possible that one person, like an anorexic, woul ...

Needle Exchange Programs

transmission of HIV/AIDS, increase the safe disposal of used needles,
provide information to injecting drug users (IDU's), and help others obtain
drug treatment.(Knox A1)
Most needle exchange programs operate on the principle of "a one
for one exchange" (Wren 2).The user receives one clean needle for every
used needle he/she brings. The vast majority of needle exchange sites are
storefronts, street exchanges by outreach workers, and scheduled mobile van
