Key theorists prominent in the recognition of stress include physiologist Walter Cannon in 1914, and endocrinologist Hans Selye continued its development in 1936. These theorists have defined the term stress and played a major role in its evolution. Stress Science: Neuroendocrinologyedited by Dr. George Fink describes in detail both theorists’ ideas about stress. Finks's analysis of stress begins with Walter Cannon’s concept of homeostasis, where he describes the stability of an organism in relation to its internal environment (Fink 2009)....

The holocaust is one of the most well-documented genocides in history and singlehandedly the most traumatic event for Jewish people in the 20th century. Millions of people were murdered in just under 4 years. Yet, there is much debate on how and why it happened. People question why others allowed it or didn't resist the nazis. It may seem like there is a clear and cut answer to this but there isn't. It's more complicated and deeper than you think....

This statement regarding the regress of maternal instincts that are perceived as ‘normal’ can be discussed in reference to Timberlake Wertenbaker's ‘The Love of the Nightingale’ (1988) and Sarah Kane’s ‘Phaedra’s Love’ (1996). Both postmodern plays were written after the 1950s, and with the use of reference to Greek mythology, perpetuate social and gender issues reflective of the time period in which they are set. Theo L. D’haen describes the postmodern genre as one that incudes “self-reflexiveness, metafiction, eclecticism, redundancy,...

Automatism is a technique experimented with by the Surrealists that stems from Freud’s work. The artist will suppress conscious control of the process of making the art, allowing the unconscious mind to take over, releasing the creative ideas from the imagination and determining the method of delivering the imagery. The art of the movement...

The keyword in data analysis is analysis, not the data. The mere volume of data does not make it significant. But the value we can extract and the questions that we can answer from the data is what makes the data significant. Suppose we have 300 MB of data but the answer we require can be answered from just few KBs. The trending field of Big Data would have flamed out if data analysis was only about data and not...

The availability of water proved to be of critical concern as the American Western frontier began to become settled and its natural resources became developed. While California was under Spanish and Mexican rule, and later when the first Americans started heading westward, the initial newcomers circumvented this problem by setting up homesteads and settlements near the sparsely located rivers and freshwater springs that dotted the landscape. This style of sporadic settlement by ranchers and farmers was able to maintain for...

In an increasingly networked world, the concept of collaboration has taken on increased precedence. However, over the years this topic has been studied widely inter-organizationally but few empirical studies have focused on this concept as it relates to collaboration among employees within an organization (Whitford, Lee, Yun, & Su Jung, 2010; Campbell, 2016). In examining collaborative relationships among people in general, the literature has showed that trust is one of the most important factors that affects collaborative relationships (Pallot, Bergman,...

At a time when sexism was pervasive, when the role of a woman was clearly defined, society, specifically American 1930s culture, needed a push for progression. This prayer was answered in arguably the only way it could have been -- a catalytic war. The bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7th, 1941, leading the U.S. into WWII, and would change the course of history; specifically equality in the workplace, and the shift of women’s roles from primarily domestic to...

In the text ‘On the Advantages and Disadvantages of History for Life’, found in Untimely Meditations, Nietzsche discusses why history should serve life. However, to understand what he means by this and for the purpose of this essay, history, and life would need to be defined. According to Nietzsche, history is “the passions and loves of former centuries”, and it is where our psychological nature stems from.

Introduction Among the different definitions of ecosystem services that emerged, the most widely used version is that of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA). It defined the term as “the benefits people obtain from ecosystems” (MEA, 2003a, p.53). This definition recognized the interdependence of humans and other species with nature (Costanza et al., 2017). It also identified four types of ecosystem services based on functionality: provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services (MEA, 2003a). Supporting services are defined as “services necessary for...

Athenian innovation continues to impact everyday American life. The Athenians are the basis of the American education system. They pioneered mathematics, philosophy, science, and the practice of medicine. Maybe the greatest single idea America learned from the ancient Athenians was the concept of democracy.
