...ever been so sure of a memory you had in your life, only to discover that it was completely wrong? If so, it sounds like you have experienced the Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect is the state of people having clear memories of events that did not occur or misremembering certain events and facts. The phenomenon first originated after Nelson Mandela, the former president of South Africa, was released from prison. A mammoth amount of people shared the same false memory that Mandela had died in prison during the 1980’s. People even remembered his funeral being broadcasted on television. Nelson Mandela, who was living at that point, was released from prison in 1990 and lived until he was 95. He passed away in 2013....

...Dwelling on the situation only creates a false sense of hope, and it will continue to mess with your li To me this motto is important because I have a tendency to get hung up on something once it happens, and I can’t let it go. I let it consume my entire life. This has happened to me several times. When I was a little girl I adored my grandmother. I spent at least one day a week with from the time I was six months old up until I went to kindergarten. One day she made a comment about my mother that didn’t particularly sit right with me. She had just meant it as a joke, but I didn't quite understand it and took it to heart. I didn’t say anything to her because I didn’t want her to know that she had upset me. I let it get to me so much that I stopped talking to my grandma, and didn’t speak to her or go to visit her for around 2 years. I just couldn`t get over the fact that my grandma had said so rude and hateful about her daughter-in-law. Choosing to cut her out of my life for that time has put a strain on our relationship. It has gotten better, but it will never return to normal. The motto that I choose to apply to my life is from the book Harry Potter and The Sorcerer`s Stone. It reads “It does not do to dwell on dreams, and forget to live.” In this book Harry finds a mirror, and when he looks into this mirror he sees all the things he desires most in his life. Potter was orphaned when he was merely weeks old, and as he looks into this mirror he sees...

...point when children begin to understand others, they also comment that in order for children to understand others first they must have an understanding of their self. Lewis and Brook-Gunn 1979 conducted a study on a group of mothers and their babies, aged 9-24 months. The aim of the experiment was to see what age a baby recognised itself in the mirror. The babies were placed in front of a mirror and observed to see how they reacted, then the mother would remove the baby and wipe their nose with red blusher (the mother would wipe the baby's face in a way that the baby would just think the mother was cleaning dirt off its face.) The baby was then placed back in front of the mirror and observed again. They found that babies under 15 months tended not to recognise the baby in the mirror as themselves, they may have found the reflection similar but there was no difference in reaction when they saw the red spot on their nose. By 21 months though the babies were actively trying to wipe the red mark off their face, this shows a heightened sense of self awareness compared to the 15 month olds as they recognised that the baby in the mirror was them. Researchers also studied childrens self-awareness to learn about the development of emotions such as embarrassment. Lewis conducted a further study in 2000, he believed that embarrassment is a feeling that comes when children are aware they are the centre of attention. A child under two would...

...lack of information” (Yeshin 18). Critically discuss this claim, looking both at the flaws in Pollay’s argument AND the ways in which aspects of his argument might be considered valid. Hypothesis : Advertising itself is very indistinguishable to the idea of complexation as it has got multi-purposes but connects as one. By having a consumer society it would unquestionable mean that advertising will posses negative aspects that cause manipulative and persuasive, therefore a false consciousness society is established, this is quite visible throughout history of Advertisement. However Advertisement can also influence positive attributes, depending on how an advertisement is understood. Essay: Advertising is often referred as a “mediated form of communication” (Richard and Cullen) usually from a recognisable source that manipulates as it gains control over the viewer to take a particular action in order to be satisfied whether it is materialistic or informational. In the article “Distorted Mirror” by W.Pollay, he suggests that advertising is nothing but pervasiveness and leads to consequences in our society. As he states “Perhaps the least important aspect of advertising’s significance in society is its role in influencing specific consumer choices about purchasing products”. Despite Advertisement has always been contributing to the economy largely, it should be understood that it also causes social consequences within the society as it commercialises many aspects. Sometimes...

...“One problem with the focus on speculation is that it tends to promote the growth of the great intellectual cancer of our times: conspiracy theories.” ~ Gary Weiss. This quote means that, if there is a problem or something sounds suspicious, we will investigate it and come up with our own reasons for why it happened. Though sometimes the theory we come up with may sound stupid, we still believe it. The conspiracy theories are intellectual cancer because some theories actually sound more believable than others and it just spreads and becomes an epidemic. Some theories are just that interesting. Would you trust a memory that felt as real as all your other memories, and if other people confirmed that they remembered it too? Even if it was false?...

...Do you ever recall a certain piece of information, then later, are informed that your version is false? Well, if you have, you're not the only one filled with supposed “false memories”. A number of people around the globe, have endured this experience. Being often left in confusion, thinking, that perhaps it was them that got it wrong in the first place. However, a recent conspiracy theory, labelled as “The Mandela Effect” caused the internet to go wild. Making many convinced, that there was nothing wrong with them, rather, their mind was being toyed with. Although there is not calculated answer behind these complicated events, there are multiple examples of this effect, which show, that the human brain is not the root of these problems, but something else....

Ans- The character of Bishop represent the heads of church, in substance with a penchant for dressing up in sumptuous costumes to play out their preferred roles. Bishop have required the real powers that these figure represent but only because the former Bishop have been routed by revolution. Genet comments on the institution of the church through the role-acting of the Bishop. The visitors in the brothel’s studio dose not remain an individual but represent the Bishop who has religious power which is perhaps the oldest established power. The visitor is an ordinary man but wants to live his fantasy of power and sex. The visitors enacting the Bishop does not want to be real Bishop.

...Perceiving Other People’s Actions and Motor Resonance Humans are adapted to living in social groups with complex patterns of social interactions. Understanding the meaning of other people’s behavior is an essential aspect of human communication, and a large amount of our daily life is spent watching and interpreting the actions of others (Barresi & Moore, 1996). The neural mechanism underlying our ability to represent others’ goals by the mere observation of their motor actions has been the target of considerable research. Behavioral experiments had suggested that the system for generating and representing actions is also used in the perception of actions (Knoblich & Prinz, 2001). This approach was strengthened by the discovery of “mirror” neurons in the macaque monkey brain, a class of neurons found in the parietal and the premotor cortex. They were seen to discharge not only when the monkey performed an action but also when the monkey was observing an experimenter or another monkey performing the same action (di Pellegrino, Fadiga, Fogassi, Gallese, & Rizzolatti, 1992). Similarly, neuroimaging studies in humans have revealed parietal (PAR) and premotor (PM) activations both during execution and action observation, suggesting that action observation automatically triggers action representations (Grèzes, Armony, Rowe, & Passingham, 2003). The superior temporal sulcus (STS), involved in the perception of...

To simulate a limb that participants could see in place of their missing limb, researches constructed a virtual reality box. The box was constructed by place a 2” by 2” mirror vertically in the middle of a card board box, keeping the top open so the participant can see in (Ramachandran, 1995). The patient would then place both arms on either side of the box while looking into the mirror, this creates an illusion that the phantom limb has been resurrected (Ramachandran,...
