... Crossing over of the nervous system occurs at the decussation of the pyramids , this is a site just above the medulla-spinal cord junction at which the nerve fibres from either side of the brain cross over to the contralateral side of the body (Marieb, 1998). This means that the sensory information from the right side of the body goes to the contralateral side of the brain, in this case the left hemisphere, and vice versa. Due to this cross over, each hemisphere has motor control over the contralateral side of the body. The brain’s hemispheres are specialised in their functions, amongst others, the left hemisphere is dominant in language, mathematical r ...

... curled at the ends, and he had no emotion in his eyes. He smiled and asked if the girl was o.k. The girl replied with a faint smile. The doctor spread the girls legs open and pricked her with a needle and then waited a couple of minutes. He turned on a machine that sounded like a vacuum cleaner and slowly inserted a long clear plastic tube hooked to the machine. As the girl heard this sound, she let out a grunt of pain. The nurse once again reassured her everything would be o.k. in a few minutes. The girl felt as if someone was yanking the life out of her, and for a split second, the girl wanted it all to stop. But there was nothing she could do at this poin ...

... playing a psychological game with the 'fallen angels' by telling them good things about the dreaded place that God had sent them to. Satan's speech successfully managed to convince and comfort them with the new hope of regaining Heaven. The part of Satan's commentary that favoured the hearts of his followers, and at the same time effectively persuaded them that they still had a chance of obtaining happiness was when he ended his speech with a profound announcement. He informed them of the New World and the new creature that would be created, "There went a fame in Heav'n that he ere long Intended to create … plant A generation … equal to the Sons of H ...

... appearance of things there is sensed something inward, immaterial, and probably invisible."(Cavendish 1) Apparitions of things have been seen all over the world. The definition of apparition, as given by Richard Cavendish, is "the supernormal manifestation of people, animals, objects, and spirits." (Cavendish 25) In the ancient folklore of England and Europe, glowing ghosts of little boys who have been murdered by their mothers appear.

... is economic cooperation. Economic cooperation is a joint effort relating to the management of finances and household matters. Husbands and wives divide economic activities and domestic work between them according to traditional and approved ideas of man's and woman's work. Traditionally, the husband worked outside of the home and was responsible for the finances while the wife worked inside of the home taking care of domestic or household duties such as cooking, cleaning, and caring for the children. Generally, though, the strength of the more traditional attitudes to sex-differentiated roles in the marriage has weakened. In this era of post-industrialism, ...

... I believe that equality must be attained through a group effort and every individual should make decisions and choices on their own. Often this is hard because people often have the same beliefs that their parents have. And much too often these beliefs go against what is required for this nation to achieve equality. Furthermore, in order to achieve equality I believe that a greater effort must be given by those in the majority, since the majority has control over many more things than minorities. West agrees when he states that every major institution in American society-churches, universities, courts, academies of science, governments, economies, newsp ...
