...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...

...history to generalize several conditions on which civil disobedience must be based for the action to be effective. At its core, the philosophy provides a means of peaceful protest for individuals who may disagree with a governing body’s policies. Due to the general passivity of civil disobedience, such events are typically moreso demonstrations of unity than an outward call for change. Within a free society, public demonstrations of free will are a way to assert individual freedom of speech even in more oppressive conditions. Even though individuals taking part in such demonstrations may in fact be breaking laws, the fact that they are able to do so in a manner that is nonviolent and non-harmful - the basic tenets of civil disobedience - allow them to garner...

...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...

...In the event that I am lost within a remote forest, I would choose what I believe to be the five most important survival tools in order to survive. While it is important to have quality gear that makes survivability a breeze, ten days to survive on my own will not require high-end products such as a tactical watch. In fact, it is not the quality of gear that is important. Simplicity itself is key to survival without relying so much on technology any more than a flashlight. However, that is not to say, for example, a water canister with a purifier would not help; survival is mainly about living, but without relying on too many tools. Although there are numerous survival tools to aid in lasting for long periods of time in the midst of a forest,...

...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...
