...Africans in America: The Terrible Transformation Response/Reflection The video titled Africans in America: The Terrible Transformation thoroughly reassesses the history of slavery. The documentary tells of how slavery was brought to America, and of the conditions under which these slaves were forced to live. The trade that began in Africa was not initially focused on trading humans, but rather on gold. Gradually, the British took control and started trafficking Africans to their colonies in America. The conditions slaves lived under changed drastically from the original conditions when they first arrived to America compared to years after the slave trade had been functioning. This documentary re-examines the appalling social injustice that existed during this time period and how race was associated to such injustice. The African men and women had no idea what their life in America would be like. When the British colonies were first established, white indentured servants were typically relied on to cultivate crops. This labor force consisting of white people soon changed, and the English definition of who could be enslaved changed from non-Christian to non-white individuals. The Portuguese sailed to West Africa seeking gold. Over time, the British took control of the trade in Africa, and the trade shifted from gold to humans. Africans were needed on the plantations in America. The Europeans built factories on the West African coast to hold captives until they were shipped...

...Chicks behavioural response to external Stimuli Devon Maxwell Anderson 17586704 BScAgric, Animal Production Systems and Aquculture, Stellenbosch, South Africa Abstract As animals age they develop ways to best handle situations they encounter. The experiment was divided into two parts. For both parts we investigated the behavioural reactions of 1-2 day old chicks to external stimuli. Part 1 we noted any physical responses to the stimuli whereas in part 2 we noted the chick’s average cheeps per minute when encountering the stimuli. When examining the final results of the experiment it is plain enough to see the effects of the stimuli on the chicks. For part 1 there was only an average of 1 chick showing any form of response to the stimuli of the same size and colour whereas the stimuli that received the most behavioural reaction was that of the sight of another chick with an average of 2.7. For part 2 the highest value recorded was when the chick was left alone without any stimuli, with an average of 77.4 cheeps per minute. The lowest response was when a second chick was used as a stimulus with an average of 32.4 cheeps per minute being recorded. Looking at these results it is easy to interpret that the chicks are less distressed by the presence of other chicks and seek comfort and security in groups. Introduction Naturally all living things adapt to best suite their environment. Evolution is loosely defined as the selection of animals with an increased fitness or possession...

...CRITICAL ANALYTICAL RESPONSE AND PERSONAL RESPONSE PERSONAL RESPONSE CRITICAL ANALYTICAL RESPONSE THIS RESPONSE MUST FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG INSIGHTFUL IDEAS STEMMING FROM A THESIS. 1) It can be written in any prose format. 2) The response must be an insightful exploration of the ideas developed in your own head through the process of living and experiencing life. The text of a writer has inspired personal reflection in a certain direction. You should identify the idea(s) in the text as you explore or relate to them. 3) The ideas will revolve around exploring relationships between concepts. 4) The personal response is far more than just a partial or complete telling of your life’s story. 5) Any relating of events in your life should be done solely for the purpose of supporting and explaining the ideas. In other words, build your response around ideas rather than events. 6) Support of these ideas may come from the text of a writer that inspired reflection, world history, personal history or invented scenarios. 7) Ideas can be implicitly stated. In doing so, figurative language can be a powerful and beneficial tool. 8) Support can also be implicit in nature by alluding to text or events. 9) The ideas and the support should not become cryptic. This is best avoided through planning before writing. | THIS RESPONSE MUST FOCUS ON THE...

...The French Revolution, which took place at the end of the 18th century, was perhaps the most significant revolution in history to date. Not only did it have an enormous impact on politics and social order within France but also across the European continent which was, at that period in history, the fulcrum of civilisation and modernity. A bitter dispute ensued about the French principles of ‘liberty, equality and fraternity’. This essay intends to focus on the impact that the Revolution had on Britain at that time and we will reflect on the influence that literary writings had upon shaping Britain’s views of the revolution and its espoused ideals, and in turn the consequences that they would have on British society into the 19th century. Leading up to the beginning of the French Revolution political and social unrest was spreading in Britain. The country was divided on one argument: the rights of man. On one side of the argument were the radicals who strongly supported a new form of government, that of elective democracy. This group were countered by the loyalists who adamantly opposed such drastic changes and remained allegiant to the church and the monarchy. Loyalists vehemently opposed what they saw as the threat against traditional British values. The radicals were part of a post-enlightenment movement that believed citizenship and its right derived from natural human rights such as that of all men being allowed to take part in politic regardless of their status or background...

...Chapter 1 Expanding the Gates of Perception Christopher Johns Aldous Huxley (1959) reflected on his experience of taking mescalin and its impact in enabling him to access the greater ‘mind at large’ and in doing so to circumvent the brain and nervous system as some sort of reducing valve. In other words, taking mescalin blew fuses and opened Huxley’s mind to perceive things in new and different ways. Hence the title of his book, The Doors of Perception. As we go about our everyday business we take the world largely for granted and respond habitually. Meaning is projected into events that enable us to take things in our stride, and in doing so, reinforce our sense of self. Thus the multiple doors of possibility are not always visible: instead, existing knowledge and experience are defended as if the ego itself is threatened. The more we know, the more threatened we become when that knowing is challenged. A certain degree of anxiety and fear is useful for learning (see Joyce 1984; Casement 1985; Freshwater 2000). However, too much fear and anxiety is not conducive to learning. Perhaps we all need mescalin in the morning to heighten our perceptions, to lower our defences and open ourselves to possibility. From a Buddhist perspective we are caught in a world of samsara, depicted by the cock, the snake and the pig – craving, aversion and delusion respectively – who chase one another around and around, locked into a world of greed, hate and ignorance. It is a restless world of...

...Moon provides a definition of reflection as being “a form of mental processing that we use to fulfil a purpose or to achieve some anticipated outcome. It is applied to gain a better understanding of relatively complicated or unstructured ideas. It is largely based on the reprocessing of knowledge, understanding and possibly emotions that we already possess” (2005:1). This definition further reiterates the idea that teacher’s reflection is almost exclusively based on problems and failures within the classroom, Moon also presents the idea that reflective practice benefits professional knowledge by “reprocessing” it in order for it to become useful and equally suggests that a level of professional knowledge is required for effective reflection. Therefore, Moon provides an example of reflective practice supporting the development of professional knowledge through...

But putting documents or pages on the web is easy, cheap, or free, unregulated, and unmonitored (at least in the USA). There is a famous Steiner cartoon published in the New Yorker (July 5, 1993) with two dogs sitting before a terminal looking at a computer screen; one says to the other ‘On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.’ The great wealth that the Internet has brought to so much of society is the ability for people to express themselves, find one another, exchange ideas, discover possible peers worldwide they never would have otherwise met, and, through hypertext links in web pages, suggest so many other people's ideas and personalities to anyone who comes and clicks.
