obedience, he soon discovered that all individuals are remarkably obedient to people in authority. Milgram chose a naive subject to administer a dangerous electric shock to a victim, which releases voltage ranges from 15 to 450 (Milgram, 1963). Throughout the experiment, a naive participant is directed to administer more intense shocks to a victim as the role of the teacher were given memory tasks by reading lists of two word pairs and the learner was instructed to read them back. As the internal

hospital called Craiglockhart in Scotland in 1917. By using Craiglockhart as the setting, Barker shows how the men still suffer from the experiences of the war.

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a lightweight portable device that delivers an electric shock to the heart after sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). The shock is needed to reset the heart after SCA. Cardiac arrest is a condition wherein the heart produces irregular rhythm and then stops beating. This is a medical emergency as the blood flow to the brain and internal organs will cease. If no immediate care is done for individuals having sudden cardiac arrest, the chances of survival will decrease

Case Study: Oil and New Economy You cannot get more old economy than to fret about the price of oil. Although the oil price is hard to miss when you come to refuel your car, economy watchers with any sophistication are encouraged at every turn to pay little attention. For instance, measures of "underlying" inflation exclude the oil price - too volatile, the argument goes, and no longer all that significant, one is led to suppose. Yet theory and empirical evidence suggest that the price of oil

early-stage Alzheimer’s, the other with an advanced version of the disease. Another group of healthy mice was placed in a chamber where they received a shock to the foot. When placed in the same chamber after an hour of the initial foot shock, both the healthy and early-stage Alzheimer’s mice displayed fear. Meaning both could still recall the earlier shock to the foot; whereas the advanced-stage Alzheimer’s mice did not display fear. This shows that those with early-stage symptoms could still encode

Explosives Introduction An explosive can be defined as a chemical compound that can be ignited by friction, heat, shock or impact when detonated to release rapid heat and pressurised gas. The energy released by the gases causes rock displacement, rock fragmentation, ground vibration and massive air blast. Thexplosivs theory states that detonation usually produces a high-velocity vibration and shock waves which in turn causes cracks in rocks. The common properties of explosives include: they are exothermic

The passage uses syntax, diction, and figurative language to convey to the reader a sense of shock, loss, and regret. The syntax defines the pace of the passage, beginning with complex sentence structure. It then switches to long, run-on sentences, eventually settling on shorter, simpler sentence structure to suggest a sense of shock and stupefication to the reader. The frank, graphic diction also enhances the pathos of the essay, horrifying and shocking the reader. Figurative language such as

adjusts interest rates gradually, while innovations in money growth and exchange rate appreciation are not persistent. Several puzzling results emerge from the study: for most sub-samples, inflation does not decline following a contractionary policy shock; innovations to money growth raises the interest rate; when inflation does respond, it reacts to monetary innovations faster than GDP growth does; and exchange rate appreciations almost always lead to an increase in GDP growth. The results from the

The perils of obedience "Be quiet! Write this down." How often have you heard this, or something like it? We hear or come across commands, instructions, directions and orders every day. What is it that makes us obey (or disobey) them? Millions of people were killed in Nazi Germany in concentration camps but Hitler couldn't have killed them all, nor could a handful of people. What made all those people follow the orders they were given? Were they afraid, or was there something in their personality
