Reading- it’s something you do on a daily basis. You’re doing it right now, but reading can be hard. According to Rebecca Silverman, an associate professor of education at Stanford Graduate School of Education, “[reading] is not a natural phenomenon. There’s no specific region of the brain for reading or writing. Through evolution, humans have hijacked other parts of the brain – auditory, visual – and combined them into a network of channels to develop the ability to read and...

                    Nothing has taken over so many people’s lives more than social media. The majority of people worldwide use social media on a daily basis. For adults, it is usually Facebook or Twitter while teens tend to use Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram. This technology allows everyone to stay in touch whether the results are good or bad. When people really take a moment to think about how social media is affecting their lives, they may find that it actually has some...

                    This paper will argue that tattoos in modern society are a form of art used to represent identity and self-expression or to symbolize personal experiences and growth. I will begin with a review of relevant literature discussing the history of tattoos, with an emphasis on how the art form was used and the significance of them in ancient times. I will discuss how tattoos were used in a cultural context and the negative perceptions of tattoos that followed as a...

                    In this essay I will start by outlining the social, cultural, and philosophical context of the urban park, how these resulted in the emergence of public parks, and additionally how the evolution of the designer’s and user’s attitudes to the public realm in these places shaped their development throughout. I will investigate the theory behind the form of the nineteenth-century urban park, looking specifically at Olmsted’s Central Park and its relationship to the city. Understanding how the philosophical context of...

                    We’ve all had that feeling some days. That feeling that, no matter what your friends and family will tell you, you look wrong. It might be the way your hair is flipping, or perhaps how your nose is turned up a little too much, or maybe just your physique. It is always unpleasant, but usually goes away within a few minutes or so, maybe an hour at most, and you go about your day. This disorder is not that. The...

                    Globalization is the process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments worldwide (What is Globalization, Undated). It was in the 20th century that globalization became dominant as the world began to interact. Although capitalism is said to be the driving force of globalization, there is also the idea that many cultural aspects get globalized (Vanham, Undated). One of these cultural exchanges was sports, and the excitement that it brings to people allowed it to diffuse very quickly. Many...

                    Within Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, the reader is firstly conditioned only to see the metamorphosis that Gregor undergoes when he wakes up as a verminous bug. However, are there more metamorphoses within the story that need careful consideration and understanding of the way they change the meaning of the story once realized? Throughout this essay, the different metamorphoses present in The Metamorphosis will be discussed, taking into account what type of change is represented and their significance within the story....

                    Intellectual properties are the creation of the human mind. These are the creations that require the intelligence and skill of the creators, hence needing proper protection from exploitation by third parties. The indigenous bell metal craft industry of Sarthebari, Assam is the second largest handicraft sector after bamboo craft. These are the unique creations of the artisans of the Sarthebari area who are referred to as ‘kahar’ or ‘ora’. The craftsmen prepare the objects manually adhering to the age-old technique...

                    Photography is both advanced and limited by the mechanical technology used to capture an image. This link between technology and photography means we see images evolve and give new perspectives as we advance industrially. For Example, Benjamin observes how new artistic technologies allow us to create previously inconceivable effects, ‘The history of every art form shows critical epochs in which a certain art form aspires to effects which could be fully obtained only with a changed technical standard, that is...

From social benefits such as festivals, to businesses such as record labels. It even has physical benefits such as music therapy. But how does music today benefit us, when we take part in exercise? More specifically, do musical qualities make a difference, or do we even need them at all? Intro: - Despite the...

This syndrome affects a person’s memory, language skills, problem-solving, self-management, and the ability to focus. Dementia mainly has an effect on older people, and the risk of dementia continues to increase as age increases.

                    Introduction As we all know, a voting age is the minimum age established by law that a person must attain before they become eligible to vote in a public election. Today, the most common voting age is 18 years; however, voting ages as low as 16 and as high as 25 currently exist. Most countries have set a minimum voting age, often set in their constitution. In a number of countries voting is compulsory for those eligible to vote, while...

                    Abstract Teratogenic influences on the fetal brain caused by illicit drug use can be potentially deadly. We can state that children exposed to drug usage in utero can be victims of child abuse and maltreatment. The purpose of this research paper is to describe the effects on children who are born to mothers that are heavily addicted to drugs and study how a child’s language is affected. Applying Bowlby’s theory of attachment I will uncover the struggles mothers face bonding...

I will discuss political, sociological, and cultural changes that took place during that time and explain in what ways they impacted 1990s film and the depiction of drugs....

Situation Statement: As a student of African descent who was born and raised in predominantly Black communities, I am speaking to my fellow Brazilian peers (about 40 people) at the University Of Notre Dame who are predominantly white and wealthy who might think that, since Brazil is such an ethnically mixed country, people have equal opportunities regardless of skin color. I want to help them have a more thorough understanding of the obstacles, challenges, and circumstances a significant...

                    Are psychopaths born or made? The nature vs nurture debate has been in motion for decades, looking at the true origins of how some people are psychopaths when others are not. In this essay, I will explore whether psychopathy is a predisposed trait, or caused through upbringings containing trauma, learned behaviors that caused the development of psychopathy ' or perhaps, a combination. The neuroscientist Dr. James (Jim) Fallon's experiment suggests that there is not one clear answer for this debate,...

                    Introduction It can be argued that teachers who engage with the issues of social justice are able to offer a more enriched academical education which formulates pupils into becoming effective contributors and confident individuals not only in society as a whole but the world of work beyond school (Arshad et al., 2012). Social Justice is an aspect that is embedded in the Standards for Registration put forward by the GTCS, General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS, 2017). “There is clear...

Dana’s classmates created an Instagram page just so that they could make fun of her. Dana got off of all social media, never uses her phone, and doesn’t ever want to leave her room.

                    The introduction of the Internet has changed the way of communication drastically over the years. In the early 20’s, people used to communicate and socialize more often with their peers through face-to-face interactions. However, with the rapid development of technology, social communication networks became the primary tools in engaging a conversation. The increased amount of communication over the Internet has led to enormous communication data. As a consequence, cyberbullying became a major threat in online communication. Cyberbullying is defined as...

                    For my issues paper I chose to write about the pros and cons of censorship in public and public school libraries. As I researched, my understanding of exactly what censorship is changed quite a bit from the rudimentary understanding I had before. As a result, I came to realize just how complicated of an issue it really is and why there hasn’t (in many minds) been a truly universal solution thus far. Librarians of course have principles and codes they...

                    The media has been proven the main source of violence and aggressive behavior shown by children in modern culture.

The following is an argument on the role of the media and television in the social life of an individual irrespective of age, gender, sex, or religion. In order to discuss the validity of cultural censorship in children, two programs were selected. These are...
