...Gestalt Psychology Reflection Michael A. Perkins PSY310 January 26th, 2015 Dr. Shannon Kelly Gestalt Psychology Reflection The Gestalt psychology movement was fascinating within the time frame in which it started to develop. While other psychological movements strived to boil down psychology in almost simplistic, scientific terms, Gestalt psychology embraced complexities within the consciousness. Gestalt psychologists argued “that when we look out a window we really see trees and sky, not individual sensory elements such as brightness and hue” (Schultz & Schultz, 2011). There is more to what we experience and see that just the simple elements that make these things and experiences up. Gestalt psychology owes much of its beginnings to the philosophical work of Immanuel Kant (Schultz & Schultz, 2011). Kant believed that experiences were created not from association, but through the perception of those experiences (Schultz & Schultz, 2011). There is a certain level of individuality in this statement, as individual perception is not something that can be simply classified in a way that was satisfactory to a more scientific model. For me, seeing the color green immediately leads me to reflect upon my grandmother and my great deal of pleasant experiences and memories. My perception of the color green, therefore, is wholly distinct from a simplistic explanation of the hue or tone of the color. Another interesting influence of Gestalt psychology was physics professor...

...Although many argue that there are two ways to approach the study of the relationship between media and society - media shape society and media mirror society -, others believe that media actually do both, shape and mirror society. Scholars, anyways, agree on one point: media present a selected view of the world, with a particular perspective. In this class we have been talking about how media are able to distort news more than once, and we got interested in how it happens. We found out that the process is actually quite easy and fast; therefore, we tried to understand if media are able to distort even news that are breaking news. Taking as a case study the Bruxelles attack we analyzed the Fox News coverage and the CNN coverage. The first bomb exploded at 8am (Belgian time) and the second at 9 am, when in America was still night. By looking at the two video, we experienced that both CNN and Fox News chronologically started to contract the news in four steps: first, they tried to identify the enemy, and speculate on who was behind the attack; second, they identified the target and the outcomes of the explosions; third, they started to...

...WHAT IS EARTHQUAKE? Earthquakes are the vibrations caused by rocks breaking under stress. The underground surface along which the rock breaks and moves is called a fault plane. Earthquakes in Australia are usually caused by movements along faults as a result of compression in the Earth’s crust. The size or magnitude of earthquakes is determined by measuring the amplitude of the seismic waves recorded on a seismograph and the distance of the seismograph from the earthquake. These are put into a formula which converts them to a magnitude, which is a measure of the energy released by the earthquake. For every unit increase in magnitude, there is roughly a thirty-fold increase in the energy released. For instance, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake releases approximately 30 times more energy than a magnitude 5.0 earthquake, while a magnitude 7.0 earthquake releases approximately 900 times (30x30) more energy than a magnitude 5.0. A magnitude 8.6 earthquake releases energy equivalent to about 10 000 atomic bombs of the type developed in World War II. Fortunately, smaller earthquakes occur much more frequently than large ones and most cause little or no damage. Earthquake magnitude was traditionally measured on the Richter scale. It is often now calculated from seismic moment, which is proportional to the fault area multiplied by the average displacement on the fault. The focus of an earthquake is the point where it originated within the Earth. The earthquake epicentre is the point on...

...Feminism and Virginia Woolf Virginia Woolf was an incredible lady, but especially for her time. Her thoughts and ideas were what was important to society in that day. She was in the breaking edge of the feminism movement through Europe and the United States of America. The events that happened in her life are what made her writing so relatable and thought provoking, like the World Wars and different relationships throughout her life. Early in her life, she had some significant struggles like her mother and sister dying within 2 years of each other, being sexually abuse by her half-brothers and her father dying. These events had a large impact on her life and her writings. Some people that have reviewed her life believe that these events could have caused part or most of her mental illnesses throughout life (“Virginia Woolf”- Biography). Today she would have diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. Even with mental illness, she continued to write incredible works,...

...causal determinism on the one hand and human freedom on the other. Kant’s unique argument centers around a distinction between human reason, which originates spontaneously from itself with no previous cause, and its effect on the external world which always has a cause and is part of a causal chain of events. In essence human beings have the freedom to choose a response regardless of the effects of events in the external world. Kant presents cogent and comprehensive argument that is difficult to write off. I will argue in favor or Kant’s position as he does a masterful job in removing what appears to be an obvious contradiction of compatibilism. Kant identifies two forms of causality: causality via the laws of nature, or determinism and causality from freedom of will (Critique of Pure Reason, A532 / B560). Causality from nature is...

...their depth. The largest earthquakes in historic times have been of magnitude slightly over 9, although there is no limit to the possible magnitude. The most recent large earthquake of magnitude 9.0 or larger was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan in 2011 (as of March 2014), and it was the largest Japanese earthquake since records began. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale. The shallower an earthquake, the more damage to structures it causes, all else being equal.[1] At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides, and occasionally volcanic activity. In its most general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event — whether natural or caused by humans — that generates seismic...

...Speech? In a series of recent events, The Pacifica Forum has been brought to the attention of the public eye. This forum has been active for over 10 years and has had no other complaints until now. With all the controversy, the question of whether the Pacifica Forum should be aloud to stay on campus has been on many people’s minds. One issue should not be grounds to remove an established group from campus. The Pacifica Forum should continue to be allowed on campus because it promotes important controversial discussions. The Pacifica forum debate blew up when a swastika was painted on the LGBTQTA’s front door. Although the culprit for this act of hate has not been established, many choose to blame the Pacifica forum. The reason this conclusion is drawn is because recently the forum has been inviting hate speech speakers to come and talk to the forum. One of these speakers includes a Neo-Nazi Holocaust denier. The question of whether a speaker with such controversial views should be able to perform on campus is currently at debate. The Pacifica forum was started by Orval Etter in 1994 as a place where controversial ideas about “war and peace militarism and pacifism, violence and non-violence." The forum has received the reputation that many of its members also harbor similar ideas to some of the speakers. Although the Pacifica Forum may displease many University of Oregon students and officials, the forum itself is not actually breaking any rules. Bringing in multiple...

...In the story “Of mice and men”, the three most major event is that the farm dream died, Lennie kills Curley’s wife, and lastly george kills Lennie and also how John Steinbeck uses foreshadowing i the story and movie, “Of mice and men.” One of the most major events that happen in the story and the movie is that the farm dream died. The reason why the farm dream died is because Lennie dead at the end and they can’t afford it without Lennie. Crooks said that it wouldn’t happen anyway since everyone that Crooks has met, had the same dream and it never came true for them. “An never a gosh dang one of ‘em gets it”. (Document C) (Chapter 4) That all explains that rarely anyone or no one has gotten what they dreamed for which George and Lennie dreamed of the same thing. Obviously the things the Lennie and George dreamed of was the farm with rabbits and other farm animals. The second most major event that happened was that Curley’s wife got killed. The reason why she died was because Lennie broke her neck and killed her completely. None of the other people...

...Seismology studies the frequency, type and size of earthquakes over a period of time.There are large earthquakes and small earthquakes. Large earthquakes can take down buildings and cause death and injury. Earthquakes are measured using observations from seismometers. The magnitude of an earthquake, and the intensity of shaking, is usually reported on the Richter scale. On the scale, 3 or less is scarcely noticeable, and magnitude 7 (or more) causes damage over a wide area.This can cause just as much death and destruction as the earthquake itself. Earthquakes are part of the Earth's rock cycle. Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. They don't just slide smoothly; the rocks catch on each other. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs. During the earthquake...

...Current Events Ethical Dilemma 1 Running Head: CURRENT EVENTS ETHICAL DILEMMA Current Events Ethical Dilemma Catherine Gilmartin Grand Canyon University: NRS 437V October 26, 2011 Current Events Ethical Dilemma 2 Introduction The prosecution has rested in trial of Michael Jackson’s physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, who stands accused of involuntary manslaughter in relation to the death of Michael Jackson. Dr. Conrad Murray was hired by concert promoters to serve as Michael Jackson’s personal physician. He was paid $150,000 a month to ensure that Mr. Jackson was well enough to withstand the strenuous rehearsals and grueling schedule of his sold out comeback concerts. The doctor was with the pop star six nights a week, helping him sleep. Mr. Jackson died June 25, 2009 of an apparent overdose. The prosecutors in the case, David Walgren and Deborah Brazil, both Los Angeles deputy district attorneys who, in their opening argument, told jurors that "misplaced trust in the hands of Conrad Murray cost Michael Jackson his life."The Los Angeles County coroner’s office determined that Michael Jackson died of acute propofol poisoning. Propofol is a drug that reduces anxiety and tension, and promotes relaxation and sleep or loss of consciousness. Propofol provides loss of awareness for short diagnostic tests and surgical procedures, sleep at the beginning of surgery, and supplement...

...Making a New Deal Book Review What was the overall argument of the book? How well did the author use evidence and logic to support this argument? In Making a New Deal, Lizabeth Cohen describes the transformation of Chicago workers from the early 1919 to the mid-1930s. She aims to show the significance of how industrial workers became “effective as national political participants in the mid-1930s, after having sustained defeats in 1919 and having refrained from unionism and national politics during the 1920s.”1 Her argument is built on the idea that a "successful...strike in the future would require a work force more capable of coordinating on a national level and more unified ethnically and racially."2 To effectively show this metamorphosis, Cohen focuses on the influence of Chicago communities, neighborhood businesses, and welfare capitalism. Cohen is clear and systematic in her evidence of how each point contributed to the Chicago workers’ change over time. She begins by setting the scene for workers in 1919. By that time, workers had carried out countless failed strikes in the hopes of altering the industrial workplace. The main reason for these failures was that workers were unable to effectively unionize at the time due to a vast percentage of the workforce being foreign born.3 Cohen details the various ethnic communities of Chicago and describes the alliances within each neighborhood. The sense of community created in each neighborhood acted as a support system...
