Unacknowledged Gifts
... were a result of this. There were several times during his life when he killed people unintentionally, but the Greeks acknowledged the great gifts he had brought to them instead. Blessed with courage and strength, Heracles cleansed the earth of monsters and helped the growth of civilization. By accomplishing the twelve labors for Eurystheus, he exhibited his intelligence and creativity. The Greek's acceptance of flaws is one of the many ways we can learn from them. We should take advantage of the knowledge laid out in front of us to better the way we look at our own country's present day heroes.
Thomas Jefferson made many great contributions to our nation ...

Commercial Radio As Communication
... market size, facilities, praise and etc. Listeners, on the other hand, tune in to the radio for various reasons, most of which allow them to relate better with others. It gives them something to talk about. It allows them to share knowledge and meanings.
As I have learned from the reading, commercial radio disregards communicative purpose. It does so because commercial radio does not consider communication as an end. Rather, it views communication as an instrument to be used in achieving an end which, is money. Every movement made by the broadcasters is directed towards this one goal. Any action done beyond what is necessary for this motive is deemed super ...

What Is Calculus
... took the work of another man to finally convince him to publish his work on calculus, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Leibniz is another influential man in the history of calculus. He taught himself mathematics. Leibniz accomplished what Newton did, but was not recognized for his work as much as Newton was.
Calculus is important in my major of Biomedical engineering because there are many machines that are made possible for humans benefit. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is made possible for looking at internal tissues of the human body. Another example would be controlling chaotic behavior in the human heart. I think that calculus will be very helpful in my m ...

Cutting Class
... very important reason for not has to do with responsibility. When a student cuts class, he/she can sometimes develop a negative sense of responsibility. Often a student becomes uncaring about many things. For instance, I began to care less about my family's feelings, my grades, and myself. Speaking of grades, it is almost certain that a student's grades will go down when he/she does not attend class on a regular basis. One reason is because it is harder to understand a subject in full depth when a student cuts class. Also, it is very easy to fall behind. When a student does fall behind, and his/her grades go down, the student sometimes doesn't reali ...

Women In Western Religion
... Looking at 1 Timothy 2:11-12, we see why our religious society could be interpret the Bible this way: Let a woman learn in silence with all submission, and do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. We must look at the historical context of the passage.
Written approximately 2000 years ago, many parts of the Bible seem outdated. The passage portrays a time when women were property and were "trained" to be weak and fragile. This stopped only about thirty years ago. Before this time, society taught women from birth to be submissive to men. What does this mean to us today? It means that although American society i ...

Subliminal Advertising 3
... publicized in nineteen fifty seven when Jim Vicary flashed “drink Coca-Cola” and “eat popcorn” on a movie screen so that it could not be consciously seen, but subconsciously absorbed (Lechnar 3). Vicary reported an increase in the sale of popcorn and Coca-Cola as a result of his subliminal messages. He was later questioned about his results. He had no evidence of his findings and admitted his results were false. This example brought the public’s attention to the power that advertisers held over them.
To produce an effective advertisement, a company must invest a substantial amount of money to create a demand for their product. An a ...

Coparison Between Footbal And
... yet vastly different games are extremely complex, so only the basics are necessary to distinguish between the sports. In football, the primary rule is that you must advance the ball forward by throwing it or running with it. Once a player with the ball is downed, the entire team lines up again, and the ball is snapped to the quarterback. The short pause in-between each down may not seem significant, yet this allows the football player to catch their breath.
In rugby, however, the primary rule is that you can only advance the ball by running with, kicking, or passing it. With passing, though, you can only pass the ball backwards or directly to your side, never f ...

Who Benefits From Higher Education?
... in the post secondary institutes of Canada for four reasons; First, the authors should have diversified their study of French Vs. Anglo Canadians, and researched the correlation’s between the top five Ethnic backgrounds in Canada in Post Secondary Enrolment. They failed to mention other factors that might show further inequalities in higher education such as: Single Parent, Nuclear Families verses Traditional Tight Nit Families. The author mentions class and socioeconomic factors, but I would strongly disagree. Demographics play a larger role resulting in inequality in post secondary schools. Finally, the authors failed to mention the youth psychology and at ...
