Premise: There is an invisible "only" in front of the words "Black Lives Matter"

Critique: There is a difference between focus and exclusion. If something matters, this does not imply that something else does. If I say "Law Students Matter," it does not imply that my colleagues, friends, and family do not. Here is something else that matters: context. The Black Lives Matter movement arose in a context of evidence that they don't. When people are receiving messages from the culture in which they live that their lives are less important than other lives, it is a cruel distortion of reality to scold them for not being inclusive enough.

Hello Kata, how are you? I hope you're doing well. The truth is, I haven't had a good week. I'm actually not okay because it turns out that Maggie isn't the girl she appears to be. Yesterday, we were at her house working on a project, but she wasn't doing anything. When I asked her for help, she told me to do it myself. While I was working on it, she just watched. Honestly, I wasn't surprised by her attitude, but I'm going to tell the teacher about it. The next day, I told the teacher that I did the work myself. But hey Kata, I won't bore you anymore. I wish you a very good week. Many kisses, love.

Ethical Considerations in Psychological Research

One ethical consideration in psychological research is the use of deception. Deception occurs when a participant is not made fully aware of the purpose of a study or is intentionally misinformed. Researchers often use deception to hide the true aim of an experiment. If participants knew the aim, they might demonstrate demand characteristics, either trying to give the researchers what they want or behaving in a way that makes them look their best, a phenomenon known as the social desirability effect.

Deception is problematic because it undermines the concept of informed consent. It violates the trust between a researcher and a participant. Additionally, it increases the chance that a participant... Continue reading "Ethical Deception in Research & Multi-Store Memory Model" »

At the end of the film, Sebastian is able to own his own jazz club, while Mia is living in Paris and starting her acting career. While both of them are making their dreams come true, Mia and Sebastian are following different ways in their lives. When Mia returns to LA, now married to someone we don't know, she and her husband went to Seb’s (Sebastian’s jazz club), where Sebastian is playing. Mia smiles at Sebastian, while contemplating what their life together could have been like. Mia leaves the club, but sharing one last look with Sebastian. Personally, I liked the final, but I would have done different, because all the film talks about the romance of Sebastian and Mia and at the end we can see that Mia is married with another boy, and...

The Renaissance was an artistic-cultural movement that, from Italy, spread throughout Western Europe from the 15th century. It was the cultural manifestation of a change in the European mentality that went from a theocentric world view, typical of the medieval period, to an anthropocentric one. This change, manifested in the humanist philosophical current, is considered the beginning of the Modern Age.

Principles:

• Anthropocentrism: They rejected theocentric mentality which revolved around God. They believed humans were the centre of the universe.
• Classical antiquity: They studied Greek and Latin texts and were inspired by the philosophers of antiquity.
• Scientific curiosity: They were interested in science and technological progress.

Origin:

During... Continue reading "The Renaissance: A Cultural Movement from Italy to Western Europe" »
