...creatures that tend to have a natural inclination to want to learn new things. It is the same case in Anthem, a book written by Ayn Rand, which is about a boy named Equality 7-2521 who lives in a society where he must think of only his brothers, but he does not. Equality is motivated to conduct his experiments by curiosity and desire for knowledge, which is a magnificent way to be motivated because if everyone obtained the same motivation, the world would have a society thriving in knowledge. Firstly, Equality's motivation to conduct his experiments comes from his desire for knowledge and his curiosity. It is evident that Equality's primary motivation is his desire to learn new things because he stole manuscripts from the Home of Scholars and he says that “. . . in these two years we have learned more than we had learned in the ten years of the Home of the Students.” (Rand, 36). If humans did not have a desire for knowledge, they would...

...Not too long after, Anansi feels curious, a behavior associated with human development. He has a desire to know how to receive the stories from the sky-god. For animals, it isn’t uncommon to feel desire or curiosity. However, the desire for knowledge and curiosity for answers is what brings the human facet into play. In the end, Anansi and his wife Aso acquire a feeling of pride and flaunt what they have gained. After arriving home with the stories, Anansi and Aso, “eagerly learned each one of them… Everywhere you look, they spin their webs for all to see” (Kaleki 42). Aku and Aso are essentially bragging about their achievement and using their winnings to their advantage. With all these in mind, this...

...Joelle Longo Mrs. Milboer Advanced Placement English 3 27 May 2013 This Is The New *hit: The Antichrist Superstar – Marketing Genius? He has the growl of a man and a physique of a woman, and has been creating controversy since the dawn of his music career in the early 1990s. His name is Brian Hugh Warner, famously known as Marilyn Manson. It is an understatement to say that Manson is a little out of the ordinary. With pungent assertions and eerie esthetics, Manson has created a loyal fan base and a legacy that will last him years to come. Why is Marilyn Manson as popular as he is, and how did he do it? Marilyn Manson uses cacophonous diction, grotesque imagery, guilt by association, and reverse psychology to attract listeners. Accordingly, in order to gain popularity, one must “spread the word” about himself/herself. Companies that want their products consumed will invest in televised commercials. Manson and advertisers from MTV's TRL did the same when promoting Manson's appearance on the show. Manson's persona was represented in the diction of the commercial. Harsh, “in-your-face”, cacophonous diction was used in the commercial with the narration of “Marilyn Manson wants to crash the party, by limo, by tank, by helicopter, who knows...” (“Marilyn Manson TRL Promo”). The uses of the words crash and tank are very harsh-sounding words, yet match Manson's persona. The word choice makes the commercial more attention-grabbing, and may make the listeners wonder who...

...what they were thinking. For instance if a man killed someone a sociologist would wonder why did he do it and what was he thinking when he killed the other person. The second point that describes what sociology is human interaction. For example in the article it said “He will be interested in…the relations between people employed in restaurant or between a group of little girls playing with their dolls”. This shows that sociologists are interested in how people socialize with each other from children playing to adults having conversations. For instance if there was a group of girls at a park a sociologist would wonder what are they doing here and what are their relationships with each other. The third point that describes what sociology is history. For example in the article it said “The sociologist may be interested in many other things. But his consuming interest remains in the world of men, their institutions, their history, their passions. And since he is interested in men, nothing that men do can be altogether tedious for him”. This shows that sociologist care about how humans have changed, what their passions are, and many other things related to humans. For example a sociologist might wonder why people from the past dressed differently than people today. One personality trait that a sociologist should have is curiosity. In the article it said “People who feel no temptation before closed doors, who have no curiosity about human beings, who are content to admire...

...Suhaila Abdelaal Mr. VP English Block “B” 4 Nov 2015 Mood of Poe’s Stories Halloween is the one day of the year that you can dress up as your worst nightmare. Houses are decorated with objects humans find terrifying such as spiders, ghosts, eyeballs, and even blood. Teachers love to spook their students before Halloween comes, and the perfect author is Edgar Allan Poe. His stories awaken a sense of fear and curiosity; they make you feel as if you are in someone’s mind, watching and anticipating their every move. The engagement to story that we feel relies on the mod. For example, “The Black Cat” obtains its dreary mood from the main character as he transforms from a caring man to an enraged drunk one driven by his perverse thoughts. Whereas,...

...a time- to keep them from blinking away the solutions”(Do Cosmetic Companies Still Test on Live Animals? ). These tests aren’t just very uncomfortable, they cause burning, itching, and bleeding. It is obvious that animals are not treated fairly in research, almost as if the animal doesn't matter as long as the product is great. Just because they can’t talk or understand doesn’t mean animals don’t have feelings and can’t suffer. That’s not all, not only do animals suffer in these tests, but they are killed. According to PETA, “Each year, more than 100 million animals—including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds—are killed in U.S. laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing” (Experiments On Animals : Overview). In other words, lots of animals are killed just for makeup and curiosity not even for medical research. Animals should not be killed for unnecessary testing. How do you feel knowing that the...

Ulysses is a book about Stephen’s search for a symbolic father and blooms search for a son. Stephen a poor school teacher, lives in a 1 room tower and ears nothing all day. He thinks he may have killed his mother by refusing to kneel and pray at her deathbed when she asked. He associates the phase” remorse at conscience”, with his guilt over his mother’s death. Bloom shows a number of acts, not having had intercourse with his wife for over ten years. Bloom shows acts of masturbation. On the other hand bloom showers acts of admirable qualities. He is a sensitive and considerate man, a man of wide-ranging interests and inveterate curiosity, of sympathy and charity…a good man. (Weldon Thorton) bloom too has guilty feelings about his father because he no longer observes certain traditions his father observed. It is bloom’s extraordinary capacity for sympathy and compassion that allows him heroism in the course of the novel. Bloom’s ability to empathize with a wide variety of beings, cats ,birds, dead men, vicious men, blind men, old ladies, the poor ,and so on.

...After reading Shannon’s memoir that all changed. They say that curiosity killed the cat, well, this cat is kicking. After learning an enlightening amount about the Democratic Republic of Congo, my interests, like most people, moved to the Middle East. Though, I am still highly active in supporting those who have, and continue to be, affected by the Kivu Conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. I found myself being enamored by the highly complicated ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I was especially curious about potentially solutions to the conflict. As a hobby I have internal discussions on the matter; I have come to the conclusion that a one-state solution could potentially be extremely beneficial for both sides, as well as the belief that the bulk of change needs to come from the bottom up, teaching children...

...I sat up in my bed and swung my legs out from under the covers. I slowly walked across the room and down the stairs. Once I was in the kitchen, I looked out the window of the backdoor. Outside were my cats, Tiger, Chito, Pesto, Georgie, Bea, and Bunny. I noticed that one of my cats, Charlie, wasn’t with them. I thought to myself, ‘Maybe Charlie is under the porch.' It was a reasonable explanation. It often got hot outside and Charlie had particularly long, dark fur and probably wanted some shade. With this thought, I didn’t worry too much about Charlie. I noticed that I was the first one up that day. Both my sisters, Ellen and Molly, were still asleep, as was my mom. My dad had to get up early for work. After I ate a quick breakfast, I went...

...The Superior Race Prciliana A. Gonzalez Communications 172 March 10, 2012 David Kindman University of Phoenix The Superior Race Animals have ruled the earth far longer than humans. Some even believe that humans actually evolved from animals. Since humans have been created, they have become advanced and superior to the animals. To many people, this change in roles is uncertain. However, humans are superior to animals because of their advanced communication skills, their mind, and the curiosity that only humans have. Humans Communication Skills Animals have been here longer than humans, but humans’ advanced communication skills prove to make them superior to animals. Steven Pinker (1994) explained the human’s capability when he wrote, “The first is that each one of us is capable of producing new sentences never before uttered in the history of the universe.”(Para. 1). This quote is explaining how humans are the only creatures on earth to introduce new forms of communication. They have the power to create new words and express feelings through these words. Having the ability to express feeling through communication is a powerful thing. It takes great creativity to detach oneself from their surroundings to see the irony in the meaning of the words. Humans are able to produce communication, but what makes them special are the different ways they communicate. In today’s society, people use five basic forms to communicate. First they use body language as a way of communication...
