... son of two Baby Boomers, and grandson of post World War Two grandparents, it is apparent that there are hugely differing attitudes, social norms and beliefs towards work, as well as almost all aspects of life, between generations. For this essay, I interviewed my Pop with regard to his working life, compared it to my own, and then examined the relevant social conditions that framed these disparities. My Pop, named Colin Smith, was born in suburban Sydney in 1933, which makes him eighty-two this year. He did not complete high school and worked as a general labourer for the entirety of his working life. I am a twenty seven year old male, and grew up in the coastal city of Newcastle, the same city where I completed primary school, high school, and studied primary education at university, the field where I now work fulltime. There are significant and numerous differences between my own, current work life, and my Pop’s when he was the same age. Firstly, at the same age, being twenty-seven, I have merely completed five years of full time work as I only commenced my job as a primary school teacher at age twenty-two, upon completion of high school and then university. It feels as if I am in the infancy of my work life. In contrast, my Pop was in the twilight of his work life, as he retired at age thirty due to the physical strain of hard labour and working full time since the age of twelve, meaning that he commenced his work career a full decade earlier than I did. When I asked...

...Claire Adamski, Jessica Anderson, Hannah Sweet Biol 3131 - JIT #7 - 11/2/15 1. Why are trade-offs among life history traits so commonly observed? An organism experiences growth from birth to maturity, mating, reproduction, and even survival throughout its life. The lifespan of each organism varies, but passing on its genes to offspring is the desired outcome. The ability to reproduce is restricted by time, nutrients, environmental factors, and available energy. Some organisms are able to survive in a habitat over others due to a certain life history traits. These organisms have allocated their resources to increase their fitness and therefore have performed trade-off of other life history traits. The organism that has higher fitness will reproduce and pass its genes onto its offspring. These offspring have variable amounts of resources available and will allocate the resources towards what will be beneficial in that environment. Trade-offs of life history traits occur so that an organism can adapt to the conditions of the environment and maximize fitness resulting in reproduction. 2. Why would organisms with low annual survival rates begin to reproduce at an early age? Many organisms face a trade off between...

...variables (r=.314, N=60, p=.015), with high levels of academic stress associated with high levels of compulsive eating. Then, an independent-samples t-test was conducted to compare the compulsive eating behavior scores for female and males. There was a significant difference in scores for females (M = 3.7543, SD = .72263) and males [M = 2.9125, SD = .91099; t (58) = 3.965, p = .00]. The research proves that the more stress a person feels in certain situations, the more likely they are to overeat. Specifically, female students stress eats more than male students. “Do Female College Students Eat More than Male College Students when Stressed?” College has been found to be stressful for many young adults (Pierceall and Keim 2007). College life is synonymous with unprecedented pressure from family, from peers, from the society along with the intense need within the individual to define him or herself as successful, popular and unique. When this pressure...

...Biff Eddington Anthropology 4467 24 April 2011 What is life history theory? What is a primate life history pattern? What is the relationship between brain size and life history? Life history theory is a branch of biology that analyzes the selective forces that have managed the evolution of the schedule and duration of key events in an organism’s lifetime related to investments in growth, reproduction, and survivorship (Bogin, O’Rourke and Stinson 547). The reason that there are differences between major events in species related to growth, maintenance, and reproduction is because each species employs different evolutionary strategies to increase reproductive fitness. Each species has a unique life history; this is a pattern of how it distributes its finite energy between five different phases: Growth, development, raising its young, staying alive, and reproduction. The assumptions that underlie life history theory are not complicated, but are simple and impactful: There is limited time and there is limited energy, so this energy must be distributed among growth, reproduction, and survivorship recognizing the trade-offs that cannot be avoided. Primates have a unique life history pattern that is different from other orders of mammals. Relative to other mammals primates have: a longer gestation period, fewer offspring overall, more care given to each individual offspring, infants that are born developmentally advanced, a longer period of parental dependency, a strong...

..."Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." This quote was told by the famous philosopher George Santayana. History means the study of past events especially in human affairs. There are many types when it comes to history there is cultural history, military history, history of religion and much more. Historians write in the context of their own time, and with due regard to the current dominant ideas of how to interpret the past, and sometimes write to provide lessons for their own society, and till this day historians discover new things of the past human life. The historians specify their studies depending on geographical location and time period. People must have a background about history to know who they are and where they come from without history it's like a person with no identity. It is very important for people to learn history because people can feel connected, and learns from the past, and information will help with daily life and careers. History makes the people feel connected and give them an identity. This is through studying the past life of your ancestors' culture, habits, religion, and their philosophy of life and also the environment they have lived in the past. It also gives them sense of connection to the place, time and community, and a historian once said : "The destruction of the past or, rather, of the social mechanisms that link one's contemporary experience to that of earlier generations, is one of the most characteristic and...

...Historiography It is the study of the history and methodology of the discipline of history. The term historiography also denotes a body of historical work on a specialized topic. Scholars discuss historiography topically – such as the “historiography of Catholicism,” the “historiography of early Islam,” or the “historiography of China" – as well as specific approaches such as political history and social history. Beginning in the nineteenth century, at the ascent of academic history, a corpus of historiography literature developed. Furay and Salevouris (1988) define historiography as "the study of the way history has been and is written — the history of historical writing... When you study 'historiography' you do not study the events of the past directly, but the changing interpretations of those events in the works of individual historians." Questions studied Some of the common questions of historiography are: 1. Reliability of the sources used, in terms of authorship, credibility of the author, and the authenticity or corruption of the text. (See also source criticism). 2. Historiographical tradition or framework. Every historian uses one (or more) historiographical traditions, for example Marxist, Annales School, "total history", or political history. The historiography of early Islam refers to the study of the early origins of Islam based on a critical analysis, evaluation, and examination of authentic primary source materials and the organization of these sources into...

...considered, one must examine his motivations. I graduated from the University of Yaoundé in 1987 with a Bachelor at Law. Soon after my graduation, I secured a job with Pecten Oil as a Lease hand. With no proper orientation, I was sent to the field and on that same day I was unconsciously rushed to a hospital for an injury incurred on site. This lasted for 08 months after which period I decided that never again should any other worker be injured for lack of safety measures on any worksite. For that reason, when I travelled over to Canada, I took the Construction Safety Officers course. I am presently enrolled as a graduate student in Occupational Health and Safety at the Columbia Southern University. One of the proudest accomplishments of my life was earning my university degree, despite the fact that my early adulthood pointed in the opposite direction, beginning with my marriage at the age of 24. Throughout the 1990s I lived as one of the "working poor," someone who slipped through the cracks of supposedly historic prosperity. By the age of 25 I was divorced and frustrated with menial, low-paying jobs: clerk, receptionist, and housecleaner and finally lease hand,. There is nothing like scrubbing someone else's toilet to inspire one with determination toward obtaining an education. Because of my absolute commitment toward earning my degree, I got a flexible shift at a retail warehouse which enabled me to acquire my degree while supporting myself financially.

...There is a dilemma over the practicality of history. Nietzsche, in his book “On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life,” attempts to make history practical for the individual. It is the unhistorical in which Nietzsche explains how individuals overcome and prevent life from meaninglessness. It counters the factual science of the historical, in which there is meaninglessness and abundance of facts. In order to compensate for an abundance of meaningless historical facts, the unhistorical identifies those facts interpretively or subjectively creating meaning among historical facts. To find the correct balance between the unhistorical and the historical, plastic power acts as a scale to find equilibrium. Nietzsche explains that the unhistorical has three themes in which historical facts are interpreted; monumental antiquarian, and critical history. They serve to broaden or weaken an individual’s horizon. They are the antidote to historical fact. Nietzsche identifies monumental history as way to emphasize historical facts as having great significance. The significance of monumental history is imitation. It is composed of an achievement a nation, society, or individual has completed, and the result of the achievement is symbolically interpreted as something that is worth emulating. They become models or morals that are imitated. There are ‘great moments’ in time which encompass a “demand for monumental history” (Nietzsche, 15). Individual’s according to Nietzsche, strive...

Page semi-protected Historia by Nikolaos Gysis (1892) Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.[1] —George Santayana History (from Greek ἱστορία - historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation"[2]) is the discovery, collection, organization, and presentation of information about past events. History can also mean the period of time after writing was invented. Scholars who write about history are called historians. It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and it sometimes attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events.[3][4] Historians debate the nature of history and its usefulness. This includes discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing "perspective" on the problems of the present.[3][5][6][7] The stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the legends surrounding King Arthur) are usually classified as cultural heritage rather than the "disinterested investigation" needed by the discipline of history.[8][9] Events of the past prior to written record are considered prehistory. Amongst scholars, the 5th-century BC Greek historian Herodotus is considered to be the "father of history", and, along with his contemporary...

...Lin Manuel-Miranda: A Progressive Voice for History History is frequently the bane of many students’ academic careers. To some, history is arid, nothing more than the tedious repetition of events long passed. The somniferous lectures and dense readings found in the history classroom further serve to perpetuate the myopic perception of history as stale and purposeless. Through the medium of the stage, Lin-Manuel Miranda challenges this attitude with an impeccable tone of drama, introspection, and spontaneity, breathing new life into the carcass of historical narratives by grounding Hamilton’s story in the universal aspirations and struggles of mankind. Lin weaves together his boundless excitement for telling Hamilton’s story with...

History can also be defined as the dialogues that relates the present with the past. Evolution of mankind sometimes defines the word history. It explains the story of man and his progression in civilization, his downfalls, successes, his laws and wars, religion, arts and development. In other words it can be summarized as the biography of great men who were heroes in the past. The origin of history started way back in Greek being connected to the world famous historians Thucydides and Heredeotus.The word history also relates to writers or narrators of events referred to as historians e.g. we have historians narrating the new history of the Era of the Polis. History follows the example of discovering past human dimensions which one of the history authors divides it into five different stages.
