Media And Culture
... the power bloc that is trying to impose its ideology to the public. Consequently, this anarchistic activity of the audience creates the popular culture as a defense mechanism.
Even when we accept Fiske’s ideas, we can not disregard the manipulative power of the media and its effects on cultural and social life. Everyday, we are exposed to millions of different visual messages which tell us what to eat, what to wear, what to listen and what to watch. No matter how hard we try to avoid being influenced by these directives, only up to a certain point we can protect ourselves, and after that, no interpretive power ...

The Tradition Of The Twelfth Man
... to win, but the game was incredibly close with injuries on both sides. Towards the end of the game, the Aggies had only 11 players left standing and all of them were on the field. One more injury and the Aggies would have to forfeit the game. Coach D.X. Bible looked up in the stands and found E. King Gill, a former football player and current basketball player, and asked him to come down and suit up. When interviewed later Gill remarked: "I wish I could say I went in a scored the winning touch down but I didn't, all I did was stand by ready to go in case my team needed me (Parks No 4., 108)." Although he didn't pl ...

Izzy Saves The Olympics
... I finally got there, there was the ship like I saw on the T.V. I was
amazed! Then, slowly a little door opened on the side.
I turned into a swimming flipper so what ever or who ever just opened
that door would not be suspicious. All of the sudden, a big man with a
weird hair-do came out. I saw those kinds of people before, but not in real
life. It was Professor Weirdo! I had read in our local newspaper, The Torch
Times that he had dissapered and hasn't been seen in over two years. And he
was just a few feet away from me!
He started to talk with one of the many aliens that came out with him.
The alien, who ...

How To Start A Business
... the three basic economic questions, one must formulate a business plan. There are several steps to a business plan, each just as important and should not be overlooked in the process of starting a new business.
First and foremost, one must ask, who are the potential customers? One must ask this question because if the product that is going to be sold is used by only a small percentage of people, it may not be worth the risk of lost revenue. As opposed to deciding whom the product will be sold to, one must consider a vendor(s). It is important to find a vendor who is fair and will produce quality products that will ...

Portland Cement
... calcium silicate hydrate (3CaO 2SiO23H2O) and calcium hydroxide (Ca [OH] 2). These compounds are given the shorthand notations C-S-H (represented by the average formula C3S2H3) and CH, and the Hydration reaction can be crudely represented by the following reactions:
2C3S + 6H = C3S2H3 + 3CH
2C2S + 4H = C3S2H3 + CH
During the initial stage of hydration, the parent compounds dissolve, and the dissolution of their chemical bonds generates a significant amount of heat. Then, for reasons that are not fully understood, hydration comes to a stop. This quiescent, or dormant, period is extremely important in t ...

Virtue Based Ethical Systems
... about these systems. The first is that they lack a motivational component. Critics claim that action based ethics are uninspiring and boring, and that by creating a mentality of mindless conforming, they fail to motivate and inspire action. The second complaint is that the theological-legal system that action-based ethical systems are modeled after is no longer appropriate. In the days of old, the notions of right and wrong where drawn from cultural views on God. In modern days, ethics has been detached itself from it’s theological roots and has lost it’s original appeal, thus calling for a ...

Exams Are Unfair Assessments Of Progress
... because they do not have
self-confidence to face to the exam. Some students commit suicide after
their exams because they can not get good marks in their exams and they can
not stand the pressure of their parents. In addition, many students usually
forget all of the things that they have already learned when they are
taking their exams because they are too nervous, but they can remember all
the things again after they finish their exams. Also, many students suffer
insomnia because they are too worry about their exams. They do not have
enough sleep, so they can not do well in their exams.
Secondly, the exam ...

Social Darwinism
... disuse of particular organs. In the one example a giraffe that stretches its neck slightly to reach higher leaves will gain in neck length, and this small gain would be passed on to its offspring. Geoffroy on the other hand suggested that the change was discontinuous, large in magnitude, and occurred at the production of offspring. However, these theories of evolution were based on prior explanations that offered no demonstrated mechanism.
Darwin's theory of evolution differs in that it is based on three easily verified observations. First, individuals within a species vary from one another in morphology, phys ...

A former minister, George Burroughs, is accused of witchcraft and much of the section deals with people who claimed to have been bewitched by him.
