In 2007, the United States of America fell into a crushing financial crisis. Unemployment increased, the housing market crashed, and many of America’s largest and most important corportations were left in ruin. This recession persists today, so we must ask the question: how did this crisis occur, and how can we stop... | 18 | English | male | Some college | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
ll | I’m not saying you, the reader, is a serial poster, but everybody knows or has seen somebody who posts and/or comments on the Internet. And yeah, it can get annoying.

s | This task led Socrates to a particular style of interrogation. Whenever Socrates found a man thought to be wise, he would ask him a series of questions.

He would then proceed to u... | 21 | English | male | College | Musician | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |

And because it is impossible to have a purely moral action with selfish intentions, it is impossible for reward to ever be the motivation for true morality.

s | Both of these arguments are flawed with such perfect equality that it is impossible to determine if one is superior. Aquinas’ argument successfully proves that there is a missing piece of information, but fails to prove what it is with enough specificity.

s | The most significant name in the conversation regarding ancient atomic theory is that of Democritus. Born in approximately 460 B.C., Democritus is primarily regarded as a natural philosopher.

Some of these properties relate to the fact that the sizes of the nano-particles are below the scattering limit of visi... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | Besides cofactors, enzymes have inhibitors that slow or completely prevent enzymatic activity. Inhibitors change the enzyme kinematics by altering the rate of interaction between the enzyme-substrate complex or through the conformational change of the enzyme to prevent activity.
Enzymes are sensitive to the changes ... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | If however, the Exciton Bohr Radius is approximately the size of a particular quantum dot or even smaller, the exciton will not be able to travel throughout the crystal. This condition is considered quantum confinement, which relates to the fact that quantum dots by nature have discrete energy levels.
This quan... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | One particular type of Duty-based Theory is Kantian Deontology, where a perfect duty is one that a person is required to carry out, an example of which is keeping a promise. Keeping the promise may have a good or bad result, but according to Kantian Deontology the result of keeping the promise should not infl... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | According to the theory, once nature is observed at a level that is small enough, matter and radiation can be thought of as discrete or discontinuous. Also, according to the theory, an object is permitted to exist at an allowed energy level only by absorbing or emitting the energy required to exist at an allow... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | Once parameters are varied, different forms can be produced. These forms can either mimic pre-existing or model hypothetical possibilities. These hypothetical possibilities or morphospaces lead us to the question of why these forms are not present in the fossil record. Therefore these models can be the foundation ... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | Consequently the charging energy is then (±e/2)2/C, for either case. This effect can be seen in metal and semiconductor dots. In the latter, the quantum-mechanical energy levels of the electrons are also important, as their wavelength is comparable to the size of the dot.
Note: The term tunneling s... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | My question dealt with the fact that it takes a certain amount of time for a bone that has a fracture to heal. I stated that the body needs a specific amount of time to transfer calcium from locations in the body to the fracture. I also mentioned that the cells that build up the various tissues found within the bone ... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | CHILD, is an advocacy group that is headed by Rita Swan, a former Christian Scientist, whose son died due to Christian Science treatment for meningitis. The original Medicare law was overturned in August of 1996, and Attorney General Janet Reno removed Justice Department lawyers from defending the case becau... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | Practitioners many times get phone calls from hysterical parents, and that the first goal of the Practitioner is to calm the parent by quoting verses from various sources and then asking the parents to read certain scriptures to the child and then sing a hymn over the child. She then gave me an example of a child li... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | To judge whether a spiral is an equiangular spiral, certain measurements are made and then these values are placed into the established formulas. Following this, a model can be made using the data and if an equiangular model is produced, then it is valid. From what is known of the organism and its growth, the... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | In the membrane of the cell, there are cell surface receptors that respond to such chemical events.
Cell surface receptors transfer an external signal through the cell’s membrane to an internal target. These surface receptors are proteins that are integral to the membrane. These integral membrane proteins have two... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | Throughout the time she was writing the text, she was healing sickness and teaching others how to heal through her method. Originally, she wanted healers to stay within their own Christian denominations and heal sickness with her method. But, she discovered that her ideas and healing methods were modified too ra... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
b | Barbara informed me that there are Christian Science Chaplains in the Armed Services and that they perform non-denominational services. Also, during World War II, the federal government had wanted to know if Christian Scientists were healthier. The federal government was going to look at records of the enlisted m... | 40 | English | female | Masters | Student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
n | This frank statement, delivered with a remorseful tone, gives greater credit to Vonnegut’s argument that war is dark and destructive. Furthermore, the medium of science fiction allows the superposition of Billy and Vonnegut to be addressed metaphorically; Cox posits, “Like Vonnegut, Billy is taken prisoner by the Germa... | 18 | English | male | some college | student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
n | At first glance, the title Slaughterhouse-Five might seem to be the best harbinger of the events to come; however, the direction of the novel is better foreshadowed by Vonnegut’s subtitle and the self-descriptive text that follows. The subtitle and self-description are arguably more important the title itself, for they... | 18 | English | male | some college | student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
n |
In looking through the Library of Congress’s library of early Edison films, I decided to view all of the trick films, of which there were fifteen from 1895 to 1901. These films generally take advantage of creative editing to produce illusions. My film study generally focused on describing the poetics for the majority ... | 18 | English | male | some college | student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
n | The island, an empty incubator for a capitalist “experiment,” compels Crusoe to act in his self-interest, and he chooses to further himself through work, bringing himself closer to God. Ian Watt argues that the parameters of the island force Crusoe into a condition devoid of enticements to covet wealth: “On Crusoe’s is... | 18 | English | male | some college | student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
n | As the Serenity Prayer quoted in the novel says, “God grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, courage to change what I can, and wisdom always to tell the difference”. As a soldier in the fire-bombing of Dresden, Vonnegut saw first-hand the barbarism that warfare can perpetrate on innocent people. His purp... | 18 | English | male | some college | student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
n | Mill argues that virtuous actions are those that have utility. However, how does society determine utility? In a heterogeneous society such as the United States, it may be difficult to determine one course of action that would increase the happiness of society more than another choice. For example, assume that the nati... | 18 | English | male | some college | student | Y,Y,Y,Y,Y |
