Reddy Mahathi Reddy Eric Sheforgen Theory of Knowledge October 4, 2012 Word Count: 540 How Do You Use Emotion As A W.O.K To Gain Perspective In Psychology? To apprehend the connection concerning Emotion with Psychology more importantly, while looking at Criminal behavior. Firstly, Emotion is a bodily feeling that is an experience of prior to making a decision, which is either positive or negative (TOK Class notes). In Psychology, presently the grade 11 PHL class is studying integrative approach to Criminal Behavior. Criminal Behavior is the breach of rules or laws for which some governing authority (via mechanisms such as legal systems) can ultimately prescribe a conviction (“Crime”). In this paper I will be discussing about how emotion has a great effect on Psychology and how it plays a huge role while considering Criminal Behavior. Psychological studies prove that Criminal behavior is not only affected by Environment but also Genetics and Cognition. So when a person does commit criminal behavior, there are other factors related to it. It is proven by studies that a gene of Criminal Behavior can be gained if it is in one’s inheritance, but may be submissive if the environment and cognition positively affects the person. Many criminals (serial killers) in Jail have psychologists that talk to them. Psychologists are required to be emotionally distant with
Research proposal
Research Proposal The purpose of this research proposal is to address the area of domestic violence in heterosexual relationships and why women find it difficult to leave abusive relationships. The proposal will start with a title which basically indicates what the report is about. There will be a literature review which covers the key literature used for the study; research questions for victims of domestic violence will also be formulated to aid the study. The proposal will address the research design to be used as well as the methods of data collection and at the same time emphasis will also be placed on the appropriateness of the method chosen. As expected with every research the proposal will deal with possible problems that could be faced and how they will be addressed including ethical issues. The proposal will also address the timescale for this project outlining the research schedule and that should be concluded with a bibliography. Title: Women's silence to domestic violence: why some do no leave abusive relationships. Hypothesis: People hold the view that women who choose not to leave those abusive relationships are passive. Aims of the investigation * To explore a range of social explanations for the causes of intimate partner violence. * To find out why women find it difficult to leave abusive relationships. * To develop an informative framework to victims
How has Shakespeare created a sense of growing evil by the end of Act 1 of Macbeth?
How has Shakespeare created a sense of growing evil by the end of Act 1 of Macbeth? Macbeth is a Shakespearean book on the theme of supernatural and in some sense horror. Throughout the book, you sense the evidence of evil growing, with it becoming more powerful and overpowering the good until the final battle. The bulk of the transformation from good to evil occurs in the first act, when both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are enticed with evil spirits. My essay will explain how evil is growing and becoming more influential in Act 1 especially in terms of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth paying special attention to the symbolism used. The opening of Macbeth instantly starts with the spur of evil. The setting of the witches in the dark heath with the bad weather gives you the impression of evilness growing as they stir up their soup of words. It's a supernatural introduction to the book, which as all books, is the most important part as it sets the storyline of the book and gives the reader a natural sense of the book. It's an omen to the book. The fact that the sun is setting and that light is vanishing and that dark is beginning to peak and 'grow' shows the introduction of the metamorphosis. This second scene shows the introduction of the king, Macbeth and the other 'noble' warriors. Macbeth enters the story as a brave warrior, which just defeated a 'traitor' to the king and is
Sympathy for the Devil? How does Mary Shelley persuade the reader to pity Frankensteins Creature?
"Sympathy for the Devil?" How does Mary Shelley persuade the reader to pity Frankenstein's Creature? Mary Shelley published Frankenstein in 1818. At that time, the Gothic Horror genre was becoming increasingly popular. The Gothic Horror genre combined the genres of horror and romance and is often associated with dark castles, murder and monsters. The idea for the novel came about during a dream while Shelley and her husband Percy were staying with Lord Byron. She then used that dream as a basis for a story for a ghost story competition. At the time, the Industrial Revolution was occurring and science was being developed. Scientists carried out experiments with electricity, trying to bring frogs back to life. Shelley visited an alchemist's castle in the Rock of Franks where she was inspired by the alchemy. Two of Shelley's daughters had died which influenced her to make the novel about life and death. She would relate to Frankenstein in the novel as members of both their families die young when it is not their fault. She was brought up with writers as her parents wrote about politics and society and her husband Percy Shelley and friend Lord Byron were both romantic poets. The main themes explored in the novel are creation, rejection, jealousy, power and misuse of it, revenge and responsibility. Creation because of Frankenstein's desire to create a form of life, rejection as
How effectively does Dickens convey what childhood is like for Pip in the first five chapters of
How effectively does Dickens convey what childhood is like for Pip in the first five chapters? In the first five chapters of Charles' Dickens "Great Expectations", we follow the life of a young boy, Phillip Pirrip - Pip for short, in early nineteenth century England. A time when England was in industrial revolution and when the rapid growth of cities brought social divisions between class - rich and poor. The British government fearing a revolution, maintained a harsh regime. In "Great Expectations", Dickens writes about this and conveys attitudes towards children, most especially Pip and the severity and turbulence of his childhood. Dickens is able to convey Pip's youth and the nature of his childhood through the language, use of description and other language devices. Dickens conveys Pips imagination and youthful thoughts through the language and content of the book. Dickens uses all these techniques to develop Pips portrayal as a young boy, building up an account and conveying the type of childhood he leads. Exaggeration and irony are key factors in the portrayal of Pip as a youth with vivid imagination and conveying his childhood. When we first begin to follow Pip we are immediately aware that he has a very tumultuous childhood. We learn that he has lost most of his family including his Mother, Father and five younger brothers. He seems very immature, with vivid
Tok Essay. If you had the chance to communicate with the spirit of one of the leaders of the past, who would it be and how would it affect the way you gain knowledge?
TOK ESSAY If you had the chance to communicate with the spirit of one of the leaders of the past, who would it be and how would it affect the way you gain knowledge? Philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, freedom fighters, dictators are some of the many personalities that one can choose from for this topic. But considering this ambiguous field of knowledge, the individual I would like to establish communication with would be Aristotle. Aristotle’s expertise is vivid in various fields such as physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, linguistics, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoology. The diversity of concepts his mind occupies enables him to perceive knowledge and events from a greater logical as well as a practical point of view. Establishing communication with Aristotle would definitely contribute to the way I perceive various instances. From basic everyday observations to complex science, the way he introspects could make an impact on how I observe, interpret and introspect. Being in this adolescent period of life, we make decisions that often don’t produce a good result. A majority of us teenagers often perceive ourselves to be smarter than adults who have lived for a longer period of time solely because of our peers that occupy our minds with invalid logic. If given the chance to establish contact with Aristotle, he would mold
Religious language is meaningless. Discuss.
Relgious lnaunge is meanignless dicuss religious language is the communication of ideas about God, faith, belief and practice. The problem with religious language is that individuals have different interpretations of these concepts and will result in a difference in the use of everyday language. For some it is deemed meaningless because it is equivocal and the meaning is unclear. Yet, for some philosophers, religious language is meaningful and serves a purpose. This essay argument will disagree with the statement theat religious language is meaningless, as religious language is subjective. The logical positivists believed that language is only meaningful if it is either analytically or synthetically verified. Analytic statements are a priori & inductive . This means that the meanings behind the assertion can be found logically within it. For example, the statement "all bachelors are male" contains all the information needed within it to make the conclusion of whether it is true or false. The meaning of the word 'bachelor' indicates that they are male. It is a logical statement and therefore the logical positivists would regard this statement as meaningful. Synthetic statements are a posteriori & deductive . This means that the meanings behind an assertion can be found by empirically testing the claims a statement is asserting. For example, the claim "it's raining
The Mongrel Mob displays, in a particularly intense form, qualities possessed by all human groups. Is this in fact the case?
The Mongrel Mob displays, in a particularly intense form, qualities possessed by all human groups. Is this in fact the case? Before we decide one must firstly identify what group qualities the Mongrel Mob display and how they relate to their group and other groups. One of the difficulties in labeling the Mongrel Mob, as a group, is that they are a series of loosely connected small groups or chapters who are connected by their patch, name and behavior standards. However I believe that most Chapters of the Mongrel Mob are very similar in their make up. This belief is founded on approximately 14 years with the New Zealand Police and over that time contacts with numerous Mongrel Mob Members throughout New Zealand of different chapters. Some of the group qualities in the Mongrel Mob that can be readily identified are: Structure, Process, Communication and Leadership. Tyson (1989) describes in detail the above mentioned by way of Key Concepts. Some of Tysons other Key Concepts are not so visible within the Mongrel Mob Group. Structure in the Mongrel Mob can be seen by their system of induction of prospects into the group and hierarchical structuring of the gang. 176.204, Book of Readings, Bill Payne 1997 'The Prospects: Servants of the Arm Trade, "Gangs are very hierarchical; people say they're like a family but maybe our families are encouraged to be hierarchical. Gangs
Investigation into how exercise affects the body.
Investigation into how exercise affects the body Plan We are investigating how exercise affects the body. We could complete this experiment in a number of ways; the results could also be measured in any of the following: Heart Rate: - amount of time the heart beats per minute Breathing Rate: - amount of breathes per minute Recovery Rate: - How long it takes for the heart rate to return to resting rate. The experiment we have chosen involves measuring the heart rate. From previous experiments we have decided that the heart rate will be the best as it is the easiest to measure in a classroom experiment. Prediction I predict that as the body exercises the heart rate will increase. My reasoning behind this is that, as the body exercises the muscles need more oxygen. If the muscles need more oxygen this means that blood must be pumped faster (blood carries the oxygen to the cells) and the only way that it can be pumped faster is through more beats of the heart thus requiring an increased heart rate. Method Place a bench on the floor that should be 50cm off the floor Take pulse for 1 min and record in a table Step on to the bench and off again for two minutes. A step up and down should be as followed: * Step up with on foot * Step up with the other to stand straight * Step down with the leading foot * Step down with the other to the original starting position Take
Explain the ways in which Mercutio's role contributes to the comic and tragic elements of the play - Shakespeare wrote 'Romeo and Juliet' was written in about 1595 or 1596 and it was about his nineteenth play.
Explain the ways in which Mercutio's role contributes to the comic and tragic elements of the play Shakespeare wrote 'Romeo and Juliet' was written in about 1595 or 1596 and it was about his nineteenth play. Romeo and Juliet was a bit of an experiment for a number of reasons, it was the first time Shakespeare was not using a story drawn from ancient classical history, he had decided to use fiction instead. He had got the idea from a long poem called "The Tragical History of Romeous and Juliet," Shakespeare had got most of the ideas from the poem, but he had expanded and developed certain parts with the Elizabethan audiences in mind as they enjoyed the puns and dirty jokes. This was also the first time Shakespeare had experimented by having both tragic and comic elements to the play. The Elizabethan audiences enjoyed this because, the comic elements were rude, and funny and made them laugh; yet there was also the seriousness of the tragic elements as it was sad, but it used good dramatic skills. The Elizabethan audiences often went out to the theatre, as it was one of the only forms of entertainment. The performances were held in the afternoon. There were a lot of budding playwrights in those times so the plays really did have to be good to get onto the stage. In Romeo and Juliet, each character plays a specific role in driving the action forwards and shaping the play's
