College I have studied many different theories in this course, but the theory that I am choosing to write about is Karen Horney’s Social Development Theory. I chose this theory because I related to it, and I surprisingly learned something about myself from it. I believe that she has a strong solid theory that a lot of people could relate to and learn from. In my research I learned a lot about why I am the way I am towards people. I also learned that her theory is regarded as one of the best in that

Journal Article Review Andrea Kennedy 9/24/15 SCE 4360 Practical Work in Science: Misunderstood and Badly Used. By: Johnathan Osbourne This article tackles the issue of practical work or experimental processes within the science teaching field. Specifically, Osborne questions the usefulness and degree to which it is used. Most science classes are taught in a lab and are only deemed valid if a hands on activity, lab, or experiment is used in teaching the lesson. In my opinion maybe this is because

ine the morality of a course, at least to help envision the fallout. Fortunately there are valuable touchstone tools for finding our way. We might dive deep into pools of ethical thoughts by such as Bentham, Kant, Rawls and Machiavelli. Ethics theories range from Utilitarianism ("The greatest good for the greatest number") to Deontology ("Do what is right, though the world should perish"). Or, more to the point, we can examine codes of standards through public relations guilds such as the IABC

It is challenging to obtain the stress that is a consequent of the contact in an infinitesimal area. Although, the Hertzain stress model is an analytical method developed based on the theory of elasticity and can be applied to obtain the contact stress in the ball bearing. In this method the normal contact force should be known. Calculation of the normal force as a result of the contact of the ball on races is one the important step in
