.... things. On the other hand, if there is no wind, the fire may burn itself to the ground and never reach its full potential. If rain begins, the fire is slowed and may even be stopped for good. Oxygen is necessary for a fire to flourish; without it a fire will whittle and die. Some objects allow fire to burn for years while others burn out very quickly or are not able to be burned at all. No two fires are alike, in what they do. Some roam free while others are confined to an area. A fire is beautiful to some, while to others it is dangerous and hellish. These phrases can be used to illustrate life, as well. Life begins as a type of spark. Some believe that li ....

.... of the Worlds. Published in 1898, the message of Wells’s work remains relevant, even in the present day. Criticisms of an unwarranted faith in authority manifest themselves in modern culture in multiple media. The Simpsons, a half-hour animated television program, represents such a manifestation. The episode entitled “Bart’s Comet,” first aired on February 5, 1995, criticizes a blind allegiance to authority in any form by humorously detailing Springfield’s response to an approaching comet, which threatens to destroy everyone in the town. The episode parallels Wells’s chronicle of the Martian invasion in its depiction of authority. Unwarrant ....

.... Dawkins believed that ideas, habits, behavioral norms etc undergo the same evolutionary struggle and adaptation that the genes in Darwin's Galapagos beasts underwent. A meme, therefore is a unit of cultural transmission, struggling to keep a place in an ever changing world. How do memes work ? Think of your mind as an environment. A new idea arrives: "make your own bread with a breadmaker." Your neighbor’s mind environment may love Wonderbread, and be very hostile to breadmaking. However, he may fervently believe that OJ is innocent. You, on the other hand, may have a mind environment where breadmaking thrives, along with "OJ was guilty". So we see that a meme is nothi ....

.... term memory, or STM. She was a bit confused so I simplified it for her. I reminded her of the other night when she was looking for the number to Pizza Hut in the phone book, and when she found it she started repeating over and over until she got to the phone and could dial it. She was astounded that she was doing this all along and didn't even know it. I then explained another short term memory method known as chunking. She cringed and thought I was talking about the keg party the other night, but I explained that chunking involves taking a large number or word and breaking it down into smaller pieces that could be remembered easier. I also told her that she could chunk ....

.... was a three lines, one of which was identical to that on the other card. The experiment proceeded by Asch asking participants to say aloud which line out of the three matched the single line on the other card. He found that when the participants were alone and were asked to decide, they all answered correctly by matching the two lines. So, it was then that Asch decided to change the settings of the experiment. This time around, he made the participants group together, but did it in a way that outcast one of the groups members in a way that the rest of the groups participants were now accomplices trying to catch out the naïve participant. It was the job of the accomplishes ....

.... will and to encourage her fellow sisters of the monastery to fight the enemies of God. The first spiritual weapon Catherine describes is Zeal, that is solicitude in doing good. God condemns those that are lukewarm and negligent in the way of God. Enemies will see people doing good and will try to corrupt them by persuading them to do too much. Catherine reveals that there is as much danger in too much as in too little. People may try to do good deeds and wind up performing them in excess of what is good for the glory of God. “So exercise all the virtues in proper measure that the weapon of true and diligent discretion may be exercised by us for our salvation an ....
