...Sparta Any society that abuses their children should crumble. Sparta was an ancient Greek city-state that valued military strength above all else. They did not teach academics, farming, or anything else besides military tactics. The weaknesses outweigh the strengths because, they didn’t get a proper education, they abused the children, if the children were not strong at birth they were killed. The weaknesses of Sparta outweighed the strengths because, the Spartans lacked education. They had foreign teachers, they only learned for practical reasons and, all other forms of education were banned from the country. Books and treatises were included in this. It states in document D that [The Spartans] learned to read and write for purely practical reasons: but all other forms of education they banned from the country, books and treatises being included in this much a [foreign teachers]. How could the Spartans have to be able to steal food and not get caught? If they were caught, they were beaten, I just don't think that that is very fair at all. How could beat a person for following your orders?...

...Venus from the earlier painting The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli that was completed in 1482. The piece’s present location is the Arkansas Arts Center, and its original location is the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The piece is acrylic and silkscreen ink on linen, and it can only be seen from one side because it is hanging on the wall. The work is a colorful representation of the face of the goddess Venus as depicted earlier in The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. However, Warhol uses more colors in his work. Venus’s face...

...Some people buy one because it looks trendy. However, other people are interested in the true value that this vest can provide. These vests are designed for specific occasions. Most of them are completely adjustable, and are fitted with a holster for a side arm. They can have up to six holders for rifle magazines, four pistol magazines, a pouch for shotgun shells, Velcro for extra compartments, and a pocket for holding a radio. Tactical vests can also be equipped with a belt looped through at the bottom of the vest that stores two pistol magazines. This is what the standard vest can hold. The main advantage to wearing this vest is that all of your gear is in front of you, on your torso. This provides you with an easy access to your radio, side arm, and all of the ammunition that you may need. The biggest benefit of a tactical vest is your side arm. The vest allows you an easy access to it. The side arm will be strapped into the holster firmly, and unlike a belt or drop-leg holster, your side arm sits on your torso; this keeps it out of the way. The vest also provides you with a quick access to...

The walk over was the beginning of experiencing the work. As you approached different details show. The piece to be looked in totality must be seen from many angles. The left half of the painting portrays a very different message than the right. The left is noticeable because of the large woman character that dominates the piece. She is done in what appears to be pen...

...observers. The picture pays tribute to some of Picasso's friends whom he has associated with the characters. More important than the narrative content of the picture, Picasso follows his tendency to construct a highly controlled surface with its formal concerns of balancing the elements of shape and color. The first device he uses is an apparently symmetrical arrangement of the three figures, equally sized, with one in the center and another on each side. But he defies the apparent symmetry by making the figure on the right side very dark, while the countering figure on the left is very light. The painting achieves its balance, in part, by using extreme contrasts of light and dark, thus defying the initial instinct of the viewer and shifting the work to an asymmetrical balance. Small areas of black on the left tie that side to the large mass of black in the figure on the right. Again, small areas of white on the right (in the sheet music) tie that side to the large mass of white in the left hand figure. Picasso uses a strong blue as a foil to the neutral blacks, whites, and sienna browns which comprise the unifying color theme in the rest of the picture. The blue is repeated in...

...person’s life forever. The majority of symptoms in Parkinson’s disease are noticeable. However it is not until patients begin to show symptoms that they are diagnosed with the disease. Tremors at rest, inability to initiate movements or slow movements (Bradykinesia), slow speech, problems with balance, constipation, low blood pressure, and rigidity are some of the main symptoms that patients will begin to notice. These symptoms become worse over time if left untreated. The first initial treatment for Parkinson’s disease is L- Dopa therapy. It is used to cross the blood brain barrier where dopamine itself cannot in patients. This treatment is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease but does not cure the disease. It can make the patient nauseous and become toxic after time. L- Dopa also does not treat mild tremors associated with Parkinson’s. After five years of daily treatment, a decline in L-Dopa efficiency may begin to occur. Dyskinesia is a side effect that can occur after L-Dopa treatment. Other long term side effects not associated with DA also develop. Choking, drooling, bowel dysfunctions, dementia, sleep disturbances, mood disorders, and postural instabilities are symptoms...

...The Left Brain vs. the Right Brain: How Does This Impact Learning COLL 100 AMU Janice Flegle The Left Brain vs. the Right Brain: How Does This Impact Learning Everyone has a brain and without it they would not be alive. As with anything, everyone’s brain is different and how someone learns can be influenced by their brain. This paper will discuss a basic biology of the brain, the right brain, the left brain, and brain injury. Hopefully this information will help to determine how learning can be done and possible ways to improve learning skills. The first thing discussed will be the basics of how the brain works. The brain is made up of neurons that form tracts throughout the brain and these tracts carry messages to various parts of the brain (Living with brain injury, 2012). Even something as simple as breathing is controlled by the brain and that is done automatically. The brain is divided into multiple sections called lobes and they include the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, the cerebellum, and the brain stem (Living with brain injury, 2012). Each section, or lobe, has different functions, such as the occipital lobe controls vision, the cerebellum helps us keep our balance, and the temporal lobe stores our memories (Living with brain injury, 2012). When the left and right brain are used together the whole brain is utilized. With whole brain thinking the greater the connection between both halves, the chances for learning...

...truly exist in order for “reality” to be compatible with the internal representation. 1b) Ramachandran’s mirror therapy involves placing a mirror vertically inside a box with one hole on each side of the mirror in which the patient places, for example, their real right hand and their phantom left hand. They then look at the reflection of their real hand in the mirror so that it appears that the image matches the sensed position of their phantom hand. By moving their right hand, they can visually control the “movement” of their phantom hand. This simple system is used to give patients relief from either paralysis or intense pain in their phantom limb. It is thought to work by sending input to the brain that the limb is responding to the patients desired command. This teamwork between the motor cortex and visual system works to combat phantom limb paralysis by tricking the brain into “seeing” the phantom limb moving in a controlled fashion. The idea, then, is that the coordination will remain even when the mirror is removed. Or the opposite could occur and the phantom limb could disappear due to the brain’s rejecting the limb entirely due to conflicting visual and motor input. This outcome is particularly desirable when the aim is to reduce pain sensation in the phantom limb. 1c) A phantom left foot will be sensed on the body in both the trunk and the genitals. This occurs as a result of remapping in the somatosensory cortex in the right hemisphere of the brain due to contralateral...

...heart. Differences: 1. Size 2. The left ventricular wall is thicker in the sheep than the fetal pig. Similarities: They both have 2 atria and 2 ventricles. b. Describe the four valves of the heart, including their name, location, and function. The four valves of the heart are the tricuspid valve, the pulmonic valve, the mitral valve, and the aortic valve. The tricuspid valve: It is located between the right atria and the right ventricle. It is comprised of three “flap-like cusps” which when in its closed position, prevents the deoxygenated blood entering the heart from the body, from backing up in the right atrium from the right ventricle (regurgitation). http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/tricuspid-valve The Pulmonic Valve: This valve is found between the right ventricle and the lungs. As the deoxygenated blood continues on its journey through the heart from the right ventricle, it makes its exit by way of the pulmonic valve. This structure is a one-way valve with prevents the flow of blood back into the right ventricle once it leaves the heart. http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/pulmonary-valve The mitral valve: This valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. As the now oxygenated blood flows back through the left atrium, it does so under increased pressure. However, the mitral valve which is made up of two triangular flaps, prevents blood from flowing back into the atrium once it enters the left ventricle atrium and instead continuing...

...Introduction: The brain happens to be the uttermost important section of your body it controls every little movement, heartbeat, and the blood flow in your body. There are two components of the brain and that goes for both humans and animals too, they are separated into left and right sides and or halves. The left and right side of the brain has two different tasks and characteristics. The left side of the brain is the logical side of the brain it works with the verbal, digital, symbolic, and mathematical parts of your thinking process and reactions. This side of the brain is the side people benefit in school or at work or even being a teacher, going shopping and many other daily tasks. This is the non creative and musical side. You typically use this side of the brain in more serious moments. Unlike the right side of the brain. “ The right side of the...

...Language Reflection By: You Know Who The brain is divided into two parts which can be described as the right and left hemisphere. Each side of the brain is responsible for various mental functions, but there are certain functions that both the right and left brain are responsible for individually. Lateralization occurs when a specific hemisphere of the brain specializes in a certain mental process. For instance, the right hemisphere of the brain is responsible for understanding emotional language content, while the left side is responsible for grammar and our vocabulary. A study conducted to determine the functional relevance of lateralization differences revealed that “subjects with weak lateralization (more bilaterality) were less affected by either left- or right-side TMS than were subjects with strong lateralization to one hemisphere. Thus in some people, language processing seems to be distributed evenly between the hemispheres, allowing for ready compensation after a unilateral lesion” (Knecht et al., 2002). Trauma to the brain can cause language disruption which is known as aphasia. One of the major types of linguistic deficits is what is known as “global aphasia” which is when an individual is able to speak very little and understand very little with long lasting language deficits (Knecht et al., 2002). This happens when major damage is done to the left hemisphere of the brain. Even though this can be the most devastating type of brain trauma, there may instances where...
