...It often feels like we make friends through random series of encounters, so you might think that social networks must look random too, however like we studied in this class they aren’t, The Network I chose is Facebook, the most popular social media platform with an estimate of 900 million monthly users. Most of you in this room are on Facebook, and for those of us who aren’t, you for a fact know someone on facebook. I chose facebook to write about because I feel like it is almost identical to actual real life social networks. Some of the topics I’m going to write about are the following ‘ 1. Hubs: People in real life and people on facebook cluster into groups which have hubs. The hubs are usually the social butterflies who know everyone, talk to everyone, and introduce their friends to one another. IF you look at your faceook friends you might have like two large clusters of friends…. This brings me to my second main topic. Small world networks 2. Small world Networks: Facebook is an example of a small world network because through these key people we are all connected to each other through only a few steps. Facebook’s “6 degrees of separation” is actually 4.74. When I moved to university It felt like the degrees of separation on face book was only 1. say story Dheeraj and amman. 3. The third thing Im going to try to do is break down facebook into network science basics. For example: All out accounts are nodes If we follow someone, that’s a directed...

...Nonverbal Communication Nonverbal communication plays a crucial role in interpersonal communication. This is even more visible when individuals do not share a common language. Outsourced (2006), explores the journey of an American manager named Todd Anderson. His company, Seattle-based Company Western Novelty, outsources its call center to Gharapuri, India and Todd must travel to India in order to train the new staff and manager. Nonverbal communication is present throughout the movie as Todd, works through the language barrier and is introduced to a new culture, values and rituals. In this paper, nonverbal communication demonstrated in the movie is analyzed and discussed as it relates the research of Argyle (1988), Archer (1997), et al. Adler (2011) defines nonverbal communication as messages expressed through non-linguistic means. Research has shown that in communication, the verbal content only is only responsible for 7% of the message, while vocal cues such as pitch and intonation account for 38%, and facial expression an overwhelming 55% (Mehrabian, 1968). Nonverbal communication can be performed through facial expressions, proximity, and body movements. Argyle (1988) describes the five primary functions of Nonverbal Behavior – 1) Expression of Emotion, 2) Communication of Interpersonal Attitudes, 3) Accompany and Support Speech, 4) Self-Presentation, 5) Rituals. In the movie Outsourced (2006), examples of each of these functions of nonverbal behavior are observed...

...The Boston Massacre was a street fight that occurred on March 5, 1770, between a "patriot" mob, throwing snowballs, stones, and sticks, and a squad of British solders. On the cold, snowy night of March 5, 1770, a mob of American colonists gathers at the Customs House in Boston and begins taunting the British soldiers guarding the building.

...understanding of a Christian worldview. The Apostle Paul covers such a wide variety of issues/topics in the text, that is impossible to condense them into a 1000 word essay, however certain things must be noted. Paul considers the debated topic of origins and creation. Christians are divided on the issue of creation, with some believing that God had a more passive role in creation and others believing that God took an active role in creation. Paul points out throughout his epistle that truth has been known by men since the dawn of “creation” (Rom. 1:19-20). Paul also tells that all creation yearns for the day when Christ will reign, even if creation is unaware of this yearning. (Rom. 8:22-23) Romans does not take a side in the “literal six day vs. theistic evolution debate. Romans discusses the topic of sin , the consequences of sin, and the law as it relates to sin. Paul makes it clear to his audience (including modern day believers) , that we have been freed from the law, though the law is what make man kind aware of our sin. (Rom: 7:7) Paul explains the “wages” of sin is death, separation from our creator forever and that without salvation (next section) we are slaves to sin. However, Paul points out that through Christ we are no longer slaves to sin and are instead slaves to Christ. Perhaps most important to a Christian world view, Paul discusses salvation and the means by which humans are to obtain it. Paul is clear that the law is not sufficient to save one from...

...opposition.”1 I will also discuss God-ward perspective in relation to conflict. Biblical Background “For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23 [KJV]). This verse out of the book of Romans is a clear example of antithesis within the Bible. When the entire book of Romans is reviewed it is obvious that the author of this letter to Rome is Paul (Romans 1:1; [KJV]). Paul writes this letter to the Romans somewhere between the times of A.D. 55 and 58 and occurred “during his third missionary journey.”2 It is rightly placed first among the Epistles because it is the most complete exposition in the New Testament of the central truths of Christianity. Paul needed to visit the Roman Christians and his desire to communicate to them the great doctrines of grace that had been revealed to him. Based on the text “the place of writing seems to be Corinth, for Paul sent Phoebe to the Romans. Phoebe was a deaconess from Cenchrea, the eastern seaport of Corinth.”3 Paul wrote the book of Romans for several reasons. First, Paul knew he needed a local church in order reach Spain through evangelism and wanted to prepare the Roman church for the reveal of his 1...
