...It is a common fact of life that with every new day, individuals are infused with a number of uncertainties; some small and miniscule, such as meeting a student next to you in a classroom, while others life-changing and pivotal, including switching careers or becoming a parent. As each new unpredictable day arises, uncertainty fills the air, constantly swarming one’s emotions and daily interactions. While factors of uncertainty revolve around routinely aspects, Charles Berger and Richard Calabrese (1975) narrowed their focus and devised a theory specifically on uncertainty and interpersonal communication. By studying how human communication is used to gain knowledge and create understanding, Berger and Calabrese unveiled the first generation to reducing uncertainty in interpersonal communication (Griffin, 2011). Known as the Uncertainty Reduction Theory (Berger, 1975), its original form focused on how strangers communicate, noting that the “beginnings of personal relationships are usually fraught with uncertainties” (Griffin, 2011, 130). By means of intensive research and ultimately, complete comprehension, it is evident that the Uncertainty Reduction Theory helps scholars correlate uncertainty with interpersonal communication, thus advancing to significant predictions on how people behave when they are uncertain. Before diving into its specific components, it is important to acknowledge the foundation and premise of the Uncertainty Reduction Theory in order to fully grasp...

...ITC2004T Textile Studies II Assignment 2 Topic: The history of weaving Background Weaving is not only one of the oldest craft in the world but also one of the significant production methods that sill in use in textile industry. After a thousands year of development, it also becomes the history of human being. In the following, brief information and the history of weaving, including time of Upper Paleolithic Age, Neolithic time, the Middle Ages, the industrial revolution and today, will be discussed. Weaving is the interlacing of two lines of thread, which is known as warp and weft, on a loom at right angles to each other. The warp is the set of vertical thread while the weft means the set of horizontal threads. One warp thread is known as an end. One weft thread is known as a pick. Weaving can be done by hands or machines, which is called as looms. Looms were made by wooden frame and is now made by electronic weaving machine. Although there were different electronic weaving machine, hand weaving is still in practice at the moment. Upper Paleolithic age In the Upper Paleolithic age, the first string was developed by the early man. Handfuls of plant fibers were twisted together. It developed to produce a fine string or thread. This finding leads to the first woven textiles, which varieties sizes of threads and strings knotted and laced together to produce useful items, and opens the era of weaving, spinning and sewing. It was first used to produce interlace...

...Things aren’t always as they appear to be. This is true in John Faustus’s case in terms of his relationship with Mephistopheles and in turn the devil himself. Poor Faustus believes it is he who has called upon the demon Mephistopheles and it is his tongue that orders the servant of hell, yet he could not be any more mistaken. In reality, Faustus is the one with strings attached to him and it is Lucifer, Mephistopheles, and the Evil Angel playing the role of the puppeteer. Nevertheless, Faustus remains a student to the ideology of Christianity throughout his adventures, even amongst the bleakest of hours. God never leaves the side of John Faustus, as He relentlessly tries to bring Faustus back onto the path of righteousness. Though it was indeed Doctor Faustus that summed the evil form of Mephistopheles and bargained with the devil for control over him, it is really Faustus who is being controlled by the Evil Trinity. The Doctors free will, one of the distinguishing factors of humankind, one of Gods greatest gifts given to man, has been taken away from him. The Evil Trinity is subtly controlling his every move, poking and prodding him so that he stays on the path they have laid out for him, the path to Hell. Whenever Faustus begins to question his decision and seek repentance, either Mephistopheles distracts him with earthly pleasures or facts of hell, the Evil Angel whispers some doubt in his ear, or the Devil himself appears and threatens John that it is all over and far too...

...The Culture Industry at Work The culture industry is undeniably one that we are all part of and, therefore, influences us time and time again. Persuaded by the famous work of Marx and Weber, critical theorists Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer coined the culture industry in 1944 (During). This name was agreed upon after much debate, as they considered naming their work “mass culture” but decided it incorrectly assumed culture arises spontaneously from the people (de Peuter). The pair worked out of The Frankfurt School of Critical Theory where they studied the effects of culture in capitalist societies, summing up their concerns into an effective piece of literature entitled “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception” (de Peuter). Although seen in a negative light by Adorno and Horkheimer, it is crucial to consider its positive aspects as well. The rise of the culture industry is seen as a positive event for media theorists such as Walter Benjamin because it provides the ability to reproduce art on a mass scale (Laughey 38). This paper will outline Adorno and Horkheimer’s pessimistic view of the culture industry, along with the theory’s limitations and its relevance in today’s society. More specifically, it will discuss three defining characteristics of the culture industry: the ability to mass-produce, the monopolistic market and technological advancements. Adorno and Horkheimer believe the culture industry is comparable to the entertainment industry with respect...

...or something that interests them, from sports to art and everything in between. For people like me, the thing that may strike interest comes in the form of archery. To become a great archer it takes many skills such as patience, focus, and determination; those three things also have great importance in everyday life skills as well. Aside from patience, focus and determination, if a person wants to become a great archer they need to have a lot more skills than just those three. Learning how to shoot a bow takes a lot of time to acquire necessary skills, such as which type of bow to choose, the parts of that specific bow, and how to properly shoot the bow. In a study published by Nature, the first bow and arrows existed over 71,000 years ago...

...Citizen’s dividends, unconditional monthly grants, or free money to everyone. This is what a universal basic income (UBI) has been called in other names. The notion of a universal basic income has been literally everywhere for a very long period, at least since the aftermath of the world war I. A UBI is an income given without any strings attached to every adult and child (or in some version, only citizens) to provide at least an adequate level of resources. A basic income guarantees each citizen an income sufficient to meet his or her basic needs. The money would be given even regardless of whether the recipients are in the jobs or not. Strikingly for UBI, it is not mean-testing benefits, meaning that no family stuck in poverty traps where benefit withdrawal erodes any increase in earning. Yet, there are many critics of a universal basic income, the most common one is the cost objection. It argues that the cost of providing everyone with an adequate income floor, beneath which no one would fall us out of reach for governments and public finance. Other critics pointed out at some deficiencies that the incentives for people to work would be somewhat eliminated. Yet, what many critics seem to not recognize is that many objections is usually based on inadequate and misleading information, and that the current system of welfare is being implemented obsoletely and ineffectively. In this paper, first, I will demonstrate reasons why the idea of a universal basic income, in terms of...

...The Function and Governance of IMF Lending Policies in Malawi The International Monetary Fund was established at the United Nations Conference held in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, United States in July, 1994. The IMF's goal is to build a framework of cooperation between nations into hasten up post-war reconstruction, to aid political stability, and to encourage peace (Lele 154). The IMF membership is at 188 countries. According to the organizational structure, each participant country in the organization is allocated a quota according to its contribution to IMF reserves. The IMF performs economic survey of its members in order to provide technical assistance and training to its member states to help them build strong economies. Its main objective is to safeguard the stability of the international financial system which is essentially the structure of monetary transaction between countries that enable them to interact with one another. Other functions of the organization include monitoring and preventing international financial crises as well as cooperation with the member countries to promote the development as well as to eradicate poverty. The IMF has three areas of focus in implementing its mandate and these include, surveillance of global economies, providing technical assistance and training to member states as well as providing financial loans. The work of the IMF includes promoting global economic growth and stability and it accomplishes this goal by insisting that...

...PSYCHOLOGY AQA A – UNIT 1 Attachment is an emotional bond between two people, it is a 2 way process that endures over time, serving the function of protecting the infant and leading to certain behaviours (seeking proximity, distress on separation, pleasure on reunion and general orientation of behaviour) There is a Primary attachment figure (PAF) EXPLANATIONS OF ATTACHMENT: LEARNING THEORY Learnt rather than inborn Classical: Association Proposes that food (UCS) naturally produces a feeling of pleasure (UCR). The feeder (NS) becomes associated with the food (UCS) when the infant is fed. The mother eventually produces the sense of pleasure associated with the food. Pleasure is now a Conditioned Response which causes attachment Operant: Reinforcement (DOLLARD AND MILLER 1950) When an infant if hungry, they feel uncomfortable and I drive is produced to reduce this discomfort. When the infant in fed, the drive is reduced and this produces a feeling of pleasure. The infant learns that the food is rewarding (Primary Reinforcer) and begins to recognise the person that provided the food (Secondary reinforcer). Attachment occurs because the infants seeks to be around the person that supplied the award. Evaluating learning theory Research by Harlow (1959) suggests attachment may not totally based upon the provision of food. Harlow removed baby rhesus monkeys from their mothers, and placed them into a cage. In the cage there were 2 wire mesh cylinders. One covered in towelling...

...consequence for that behavior. Operant conditioning was coined by behaviorist B.F. Skinner, which is why you may occasionally hear it referred to as Skinnerian conditioning. As a behaviorist, Skinner believed that internal thoughts and motivations could not be used to explain behavior. Instead, he suggested, we should look only at the external, observable causes of human behavior. Skinner used the term operant to refer to any "active behavior that operates upon the environment to generate consequences" (1953). In other words, Skinner's theory explained how we acquire the range of learned behaviors we exhibit each and every day. Examples of Operant Conditioning We can find examples of operant conditioning at work all around us. Consider the case of children completing homework to earn a reward from a parent or teacher, or employees finishing projects to receive praise or promotions. In these examples, the promise or possibility of rewards causes an increase in behavior, but operant conditioning can also be used to decrease a behavior. The removal of an undesirable outcome or the use of punishment can be used to decrease or prevent undesirable behaviors. For example, a child may be told they will lose recess privileges if they talk out of turn in class. This potential for punishment may lead to a decrease in disruptive behaviors. Components of Operant Conditioning Some key concepts in operant conditioning: Reinforcement is any event that strengthens or increases the behavior it...
