...to be the next king. Saul, on the other hand, builds up murderous intent on David, the boy God chose to be his successor, someone he once saw as a lovely, young man. As soon as Samuel anoints David as the next king of Israel “the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul. and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him. And Saul’s servants said to him, ‘Behold now, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you’ ” (I Samuel 16:14-15). Saul takes action and calls for a lyre player to cheer himself up. Coincidentally, David is brought to the presence of Saul. By playing his music, Saul gets to “like him very much, and David became one of his armor bearers” (I Samuel 16:21). Amusingly, when David plays his music, he reveals that he will be the most powerful king, and his chorus echoes, “Saul has slain thousands, and David his ten thousands” (I Samuel 18:7). This stirs jealousy and anger within Saul and he begins to take action against him. With David’s proclamation of future king, Saul would always pay attention to him. This leads to “an evil spirit from God” to possess Saul, which leads to himself “raving within his house, while David is playing the lyre” (I Samuel 18:10). With his spear in hand, Saul would try to “pin David to the wall. But David evaded him twice. Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him but had departed from Saul” (I Samuel 18:11-12). Saul never lets go of his hatred for David until his death. Macbeth, on the other hand, is fearful of Banquo due to his...

...QUESTION 1 (B) - Students who go to class half an hour later than the prescribed start time for eight classes in a semester lost every desirable privileges (breaks during class, no football games, graduation dinner etc.). After the rule was implemented, there seemed to be a marked improvement in student attendance in class. How does operant conditioning explain the students’ behavior? Introduction Operant conditioning was thoroughly studied by Burrhus Frederick Skinner (B.F. Skinner), which he confirmed that someone learning ability is displayed by his or her behavior. When a factor in the person’s environment changes the consequences that they endure from their learning, can cause a positive or a negative impact on their behavior, which he categorize as reinforcers or punishments. Therefore, Operant Conditioning is a tool that can influence a person’s increasing or decrease his or her behavior by the consequences of their behavior. Operant conditioning will be illustrated by the behavior of the students when removing negative reinforcement or punishment or adding positive reinforcement or punishment (Robins et al, 2013). In this paragraph, the student’s behavior will be explained using Negative Reinforcement with the illustration of their behavior being increased frequently, towards the termination of the unfavorable consequence, which is, not having the privileges. From the question, the students attended to class early, which is their behavior, in order to avoid...

...SOUTHERN RURAL SOCIOLOGY, 24(1), 2009, pp. 200–222. Copyright © by the Southern Rural Sociological Association DURKHEIM DID NOT SAY “NORMLESSNESS”: THE CONCEPT OF ANOMIC SUICIDE FOR INTRODUCTORY SOCIOLOGY COURSES PHYLLIS PUFFER BIG SANDY COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE ABSTRACT The definitions of anomic suicide presented in introductory sociology textbooks from 1996 to 2007 were compared with the definition given by Durkheim in his own writings both in the original French and the English translation. It was found that only one textbook correctly gave Durkheim’s own definition while the other definitions showed little or no relationship to the original concept. The original concept was based on an analysis of the economy, more particularly the business cycle, and refers only to the structure of society and not to the mental state of the individual. An attempt is made to discover the source of such a widespread and well-accepted error. All of us are concerned about the introductory course in sociology, no matter the august reaches of academe we might have attained. Nearly all of us have taught it at least once, if only as teaching assistants during our graduate school days. Some of us always teach it. The rest depend on it as a basis for their advanced courses, for a supply of research assistants, and ultimately to build public appreciation and support for the field. If we think of the number of students who take introductory sociology in just one small...

He has been a professor at Columbia University since 1996 and chairman of the World Science Festival since co-founding it in 2008. Greene has worked on mirror symmetry, relating two different Calabi–Yau manifolds (concretely, relating the conifold to one of its orbifolds). He also described the flop transition, a mild form of topology change, showing that topology in string theory can change at the conifold point. Greene has become known to a wider audience through his books for the general public, The Elegant Universe, Icarus at the Edge of Time, The Fabric of the Cosmos, The Hidden Reality, and related PBS television specials. He also appeared on The Big Bang Theory episode "The Herb Garden Germination", as well as the films Frequency and The Last Mimzy. Early life Greene was born in New York City. His father, Alan Greene, was a one-time vaudeville performer and high school dropout who later worked as a voice coach and composer.

... The concept of verbal learning is the understanding and gaining of knowledge through verbal stimuli, commonly known as speaking. The presentation of knowledge through the act of speaking allows learning by memorization. Memorization is the repetition of information to gain understanding and knowledge. A thorough understanding of verbal learning can be obtained through a comprehensive examination of the various aspects that it encompasses. The first aspect of verbal learning is defining the concept itself. Within the definition of verbal learning will be an introduction to Dr. David Ausubel, a psychologist who studied verbal learning. The second aspect of verbal learning that will be examined in this paper is the comparison and contrasting of serial learning (a list of items), paired associate learning (one item helping retrieve information), and free recall (independent items). The fourth and final aspect of verbal learning explored in this paper is the concept of mnemonics, or retention of information, in the recall of verbal stimuli. Verbal Learning S. Cooper wrote about David Ausubel as he was a psychologist who studied the developmental and educational psychology of individuals. Verbal learning was the area of psychology that was studied most in depth by Ausubel. In his research, Ausubel “focused on the nature of meaning, and believes...

...| “Five Guys and Mommy” | Week 3, Assignment Three, Professor William Vasquez | | David Curtis Parson | 10/27/2013 | | Right things Right That's certainly the case with Five Guys. Five Guys is so successful because though it only sells burgers, it does that extremely well. "They don't try to be all things to all people". They sell to people who want a great burger. They've identified a market big enough that they can do that. But even more important than what's offered is the patron's experience, the owners believe. It has to meet expectations in terms of the price paid for the value they received. The research is quite clear that in terms of consumer expectations regarding a restaurant experience, food quality is No. 1. The ability to deliver a consistent taste and flavor sensation or a tailored taste and sensation is critical to the long-term success. That's why Five Guys doesn't comparison shop, says Murrell, to ensure the quality of their products is top-notch. They have many of the same vendors they did in 1986. Their fresh, made-to-order burgers and fries have been the recipe to their success. They don't plan on changing a formula that's worked for more than two decades, even if they could find products cheaper. For example, the company seeks quality, although more expensive products their bacon comes from Patrick Cudahy, a Wisconsin smokehouse that smokes with natural apple-wood chips. One of the hallmarks of some fast-casual operators is the ability...

Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. 64 Part I Basic Group Concepts HETEROGENEOUS GROUPS When you read or hear the word diversity, you may think about race or about people from other countries. The concept of diversity, however, involves much more than country of origin, skin color, or ethnic heritage. When discussing group communication, we use the term diversity in its most general sense—the quality of being different. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines diverse as “made up of distinct characteristics, qualities, or elements.”1 The homogeneous–heterogeneous dialectic is particularly applicable to the study of group membership. As we note in Chapter 1, the prefix homo comes from the Greek language and means “same” or “similar”; hetero means “different.” Thus, a homogeneous...

The practice and study of philosophy constitute one of the most distinctive strands of Western intellectual tradition. In order to understand-even simply recognize-the deepest assumptions we make as a culture we must turn to philosophy and to those thinkers whose ideas have shaped our assumptions. We will approach the study of philosophy as a conversation among the greatest thinkers of all the time, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Locke, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Sartre. Our focus will be on each philosopher’s ideas and their impact on Western Civilization. We will also delve briefly into the cultural and historical context of each philosopher, evaluate weather their ideas are still relevant and some of their argument remain compelling. Course outline. The approach of this class is hybrid. The first part following an historical and chronological sequence, the second part follows a topical approach. Part I (a), Ancient philosophy, with our main focus on Plato and Aristotle. Part 1 (b) Late Renaissance and to Kant. Part II Empiricism and Positivism and part II (b) Existentialism.
