    1. There are also disadvantages to small group interaction. In some cases, one person can be just as or more effective than a group of people. Think about a situation in which a highly specialized skill or knowledge is needed to get something done.

      This is strange to hear. I know there's these group think-tanks that come up with better results than many experts do because of the sheer amount of polled suggestions. sure, most of the suggestions could be rubbish, but if you have enough suggestions, one of them will make sense. Obviously people who detract from group discussions/don't do their part shouldn't be contributing anyway, just because of lack of interest, but sometimes bigger groups yield more fruit.

    2. While our interpersonal relationships primarily focus on relationship building, small groups usually focus on some sort of task completion or goal accomplishment. A college learning community focused on math and science, a campaign team for a state senator, and a group of local organic farmers are examples of small groups that would all have a different size, structure, identity, and interaction pattern. Size of Small Groups

      It's interesting to think about how small groups are formed and if they can form for reasons other than a goal or task. Is a college dorm considered a small group? I guess the task is "Shared housing," but it still is strange to consider them as coordinated. The other examples make sense, however, as most of the time groups form and work together.

    1. Truman vetoed the law. “In a free country,” Truman famously responded, “we punish men for the crimes they commit, but never for the opinions they hold.”

      Honestly impressive that a president said this. I do not think that the past couple of presidents we have had would say anything similar to this.

    1. By 1948, Europe was divided between democratic and Communist states along a line that corresponded to the orientation of the two superpowers whose armies had liberated Europe from the Nazis.

      I find it interesting that two countries have such power and influence over other countries around the world.

    1. In order to carry out their studies, sociologists identify cultural patterns and social forces and determine how they affect individuals and groups. One way sociology achieves a more complete understanding of social reality is through its focus on the importance of the social forces affecting our behavior, attitudes, and life chances. This focus involves an emphasis on social structure, the social patterns through which a society is organized. Sociology provides a lens for understanding the human condition and the structural forces that influence our behavior and attitudes.

    1. It’s important to be aware of schemata because our interpretations affect our behavior. For example, if you are doing a group project for class and you perceive a group member to be shy based on your schema of how shy people communicate, you may avoid giving him presentation responsibilities in your group project because you do not think shy people make good public speakers.

      As a person who struggles with autism i often feel what I express doesn’t align with my emotions at all. I’ve had many of my friends tell me that they think I’m upset or mad when I actually wasn’t. This has created a feeling of not being understood by my peers. Another things about it is that I don’t know how to fix it, I’ve had people tell me to be happier or to stop being so sad or emotional. When something like this happens to me i try to explain myself in a way that is more digestible for people who don’t recognize my speech patterns.

    1. Topic sentence: There are numerous advantages to owning a hybrid car. Sentence 1 (statistic): First, they get 20 percent to 35 percent more miles to the gallon than a fuel-efficient gas-powered vehicle. Sentence 2 (fact): Second, they produce very few emissions during low speed city driving. Sentence 3 (reason): Because they do not require gas, hybrid cars reduce dependency on fossil fuels, which helps lower prices at the pump. Sentence 4 (example): Alex bought a hybrid car two years ago and has been extremely impressed with its performance. Sentence 5 (quotation): “It’s the cheapest car I’ve ever had,” she said. “The running costs are far lower than previous gas powered vehicles I’ve owned.” Concluding sentence: Given the low running costs and environmental benefits of owning a hybrid car, it is likely that many more people will follow Alex’s example in the near future.

      perfect way to show use of reason, fact, statistic, quotation and example.

    1. Yet, it is remarkably complete, with its last stanza referring back to the first. Coleridge may have had a self-protective desire for his radical views not to be taken too seriously

      he felt like it wasn’t complete even though it technically was

    2. swept, the long sequacious notes Over delicious surges sink and rise, Such a soft floating witchery of sound As twilight Elfins make, when they at eve Voyage on gentle gales from Fairy-Land, Where Melodies round honey-dropping flowers, Footless and wild, like birds of Paradise,

    1. We are active users of technology - I am teaching and you are learning online. When we're submerged in this kind of environment, it's sometimes easy to forget that what's known as the digital divide still exists. Our access to technology gives us advantages in accessing information that many around the world do not have. This information graphic from the International Monetary Fund illustrates that

      Can we ever bridge the gap between those with internet access and those without? Internet accessibility is a very necessity in today's world

    2. And in academia especially, only a privileged few have access to certain types of scholarly writings.

      Having access to information is one thing and making good use if the information is another. Not having access at all makes it m ore difficult especially where college students have register and pay for such academic resources saves the students some head ach

    1. There is one exception. Another little ritual everyone gets used to on a set. At the end of a scene, when all of the shots are done, the location sound recordist will whisper to the 1st AD, and the 1st AD will call out: “Hold for room tone!” And then everyone stops in their tracks and holds still, remaining completely silent for at least 60 seconds.

      What will the the effect if that ritual is modified in anyway?

    1. The person responsible for all of this is the cinematographer, sometimes known as the director of photography (DP). Their job is to translate the director’s vision into usable footage, using all of the photographic skills listed above and only after making a series of crucial decisions which we will get to below. It is one of the most technical jobs in cinema, requiring as much science as it does art:

      Interestingly the art of cinema is not only beautify after getting the final product. The dream and vision of one person becomes the genesis of another person's work. What makes it more interesting is that the cinematographer, with the help of technology, turns the a intangible dream of the visionary into tangibles. What would be the case in the absence of all these technicalities in the art of cinema? Just dream it, I will make it real.

    1. 4

      In Exercise 2.6.1 I think for the 4p electron in bromine this value should be 6, not 4, as there are six electrons interacting with the probe electron in the n = 4 shell (4s2,4p5). See calculation in Example 2.6.1 for nitrogen 2p electron for reference.

    1. The loose brushwork, vivid colors, and unfinished style shocked viewers, invoking an emotional response to the painting, which was exactly what the artists of the Fauvism period wanted.

    1. atomic radius (teal triangels)

      I'm skeptical that the listed values for the atomic radii are correct. The van der Waals radius for fluorine is 135 pm. If you look at the covalent radius instead, it would be 70 pm (based on Fig 4.2.2.8 in this article). In addition, the atomic radius of boron should be larger than the atomic radius of beryllium because of p orbital occupation. Perhaps the figure is just mislabeled? (Also triangles is misspelled in the figure caption).

    1. Methanol, CH3OH, is counted as a primary alcohol even though there are no alkyl groups attached to the the -OH carbon atom

      An alkyl group is formed by removing one hydrogen from the alkane chain.

    2. -OH group is only attached to one alkyl group

      The carbon group that the -OH group is attached to is only attached to one further group, no matter how many that next one is attatched to.

    1. Stationary phase is a stationary medium, which can be a stagnant bulk liquid, a liquid layer on the solid phase, or an interfacial layer between liquid and solid.

      Define Stationary phase?

    2. Mobile phase is a moving liquid, and is characterized by its composition, solubility, UV transparency, viscosity, and miscibility with other solvents.

      Define Mobile phase?

    3. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a technique in analytical chemistry used to separate the components in a mixture, and to identify and quantify each component.

      This is the simple definition of HPLC.

    1. ΔtΔt\Delta t to be the average time between collisions

      The calculated expression does not look like the average time of a molecule that passes from one collision to another. $$\Delta t = 2l/v_x$$That's the maximum time, isn't it?

    1. Much of the research on romantic relationships distinguishes between premarital and marital couples. However, given the changes in marriage and the diversification of recognized ways to couple, I will use the following distinctions: dating, cohabitating, and partnered couples.

      It should also be considered how relationships may form from friends with benefits situations. Is this considered a potential, optional step before dating? Does a friends with benefits situation ever turn into dating and further? Or is it just included in the dating stage.

    1. However, researchers have wondered if men communicate affection in more implicit ways that are still understood by the other friend.

      As a man, I can confirm this is the case some of the time. My buddy and I, one of my best friends, constantly give each other shit, but we do it because its funny or we care. that care is exemplified in that we take interest in the other person's life. We are willing to send each other cash in an emergency. We have each other's backs.

    2. Friendships, like most relationships, have a life span ranging from formation to maintenance to deterioration/dissolution. Friendships have various turning points that affect their trajectory.

      I feel like people need to be more aware of this. People think others will be in their life forever, and while that's a good concept to practice, its ok if it doesn't pan out. More often than not, the only forever friend you will (hopefully) have is your significant other, and even that is not guaranteed these days.

    1. The bonding stage includes a public ritual that announces formal commitment

      I'm confused by this. I feel like the bonding phase doesn't necessary HAVE to include a public ritual. Many engagements are private affairs between just the two people, like taking a hike in the woods. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what the bonding phase actually is, but I would disagree that it needs to be public.

    2. Communication is at the heart of forming our interpersonal relationships.

      I believe this is true. Communication builds healthy relationships. There are times we should not communicate, such as surprises, but more often than not, communication makes people stick with relationships. Things can also be said for not communicating; failing to do so can lead to tension or mistrust, which can boil up.

    1. nteractionists view the world in terms of symbols and the meanings assigned to them (LaRossa and Reitzes 1993). The family itself is a symbol. To some, it is a father, mother, and children; to others, it is any union that involves respect and compassion. Interactionists stress that family is not an objective, concrete reality. Like other social phenomena, it is a social construct that is subject to the ebb and flow of social norms and ever-changing meanings. Consider the meaning of other elements of family: in the past, “parent” was a symbol of a biological and emotional connection to a child. With more parent-child relationships developing through adoption, remarriage, or change in guardianship, the word “parent” today is less likely to be associated with a biological connection than with whoever is socially recognized as having the responsibility for a child’s upbringing. Similarly, the terms “mother” and “father” are no longer rigidly associated with the meanings of caregiver and breadwinner. These meanings are more free-flowing through changing family roles. Interactionists also recognize how the family status roles of each member are socially constructed, playing an important part in how people perceive and interpret social behavior. Interactionists view the family as a group of role players or “actors” that come together to act out their parts in an effort to construct a family. These roles are up for interpretation. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a “good father,” for example, was one who worked hard to provide financial security for his children. Today, for some, a “good father” is one who takes the time outside of work to promote his children’s emotional well-being, social skills, and intellectual growth—in some ways, a much more daunting task.[6]

      Interactionists view the world through symbols and their meanings, with the family being a subjective construct subject to changing norms. The term "parent" now refers to a socially acknowledged person raising a child, not a biological tie. Family status positions are socially created, influencing social conduct. Interactionists see the family as a group of role players, with ambiguous responsibilities, such as a "good father" fostering emotional, social, and intellectual development.

    2. Conflict theorists are quick to point out that U.S. families have been defined as private entities, the consequence of which has been to leave family matters to only those within the family. Many people in the United States are resistant to government intervention in the family: parents do not want the government to tell them how to raise their children or to become involved in domestic issues. Conflict theory highlights the role of power in family life and contends that the family is often not a haven but rather an arena where power struggles can occur. This exercise of power often entails the performance of family status roles. Conflict theorists may study conflicts as simple as the enforcement of rules from parent to child, or they may examine more serious issues such as domestic violence (spousal and child), sexual assault, marital rape, and incest. The first study of marital power was performed in 1960. Researchers found that the person with the most access to value resources held the most power. As money is one of the most valuable resources, men who worked in paid labor outside of the home held more power than women who worked inside the home (Blood and Wolfe 1960). Even today, with more fluid family roles, conflict theorists find disputes over the division of household labor to be a common source of marital discord. Household labor offers no wages and, therefore, no power. Studies indicate that when men do more housework, women experience more satisfaction in their marriages, reducing the incidence of conflict (Coltrane 2000). In general, conflict theorists tend to study areas of marriage and life that involve inequalities or discrepancies in power and authority, as they are reflective of the larger social structure.

      Conflict theorists argue that U.S. families are private entities, leaving concerns to family members, and that family status roles are often the battleground for power disputes. They analyze minor conflicts, like parent-child discipline, or more serious ones, like domestic violence. The first marital power research in 1960 found that powerful individuals had valuable resources, and arguments about homework division can cause marital friction.

    1. ∃x∈R(x>5)

      This tells us that there is at least one real number which is more than 5. This is true just with one number such as 5.1. But there are many more which makes this true, we don´t need them, yet it is good to know it

    2. ∀x∈S

      it is something obvious but I like to remark it. The left part set a measure for how many things this is true. This is why the name is quantifier. Meanwhile the right part means something either true or false. It is necesary to quantify it, because the setnence could be true for a certain number of things

    1. One of the key dialectics that must be negotiated is the tension between openness and closedness (Greene, Derlega, & Mathews, 2006).

      I feel as though I am an open book most of the time, sometime too much so with things I should keep guarded. But I think its fine, I like people to be honest and transparent, as opposed to the opposite. Balancing lies seems like a lot of work and its just easier to be honest.

    1. As a result, they are generally more effective at managing their emotions, and they are less likely to experience intense negative emotions in response to a negative stimulus like breaking up with a romantic partner.

      I tend to not manage my emotions at all and just put them in a box, due a lot to some childhood trauma and how I was raised, or lack thereof. I remember at my grandmother's funeral, I didn't cry a lot until someone was giving a memoir on the stand. I remember being unable to look at my grandmothers face as those emotions boiled up out of that box. It was very difficult and was definitely unhealthy, so I need to work on that.

    1. Would you describe yourself as someone who prefers to avoid conflict?

      As much as I often like to be what I consider right, I also understand the value in coming to an agreeable point for both parties. Some people say I sit on the fence with this, but I think I mediate interventions and other dicey conversations well, as I hold both parties accountable and provide advice on how to speak in a more neutral tone.

    1. Each of these examples illustrates how interpersonal communication meets our basic needs as humans for security in our social bonds, health, and careers.

      I feel as though honesty is the most important thing in relationships, and not just personal ones. I went on a date with a girl and she wasn't honest about why she didn't want to see me. Low and behold, there was some fallout when I found out. Honesty is important because it is the basis of trust and can save a lot of time.

    2. Whether we are aware of it or not, we often ask ourselves, “What can this relationship do for me?” In order to understand how relationships achieve strategic functions, we will look at instrumental goals, relationship-maintenance goals, and self-presentation goals.

      This is something I figured out a bit ago. Humans are always selfish in their communication, but they can communicate for altruistic reasons. People want love because THEY feel empty without it. This isn't to say you can't love someone, but the best instances of love are mutual agreements of respect and enjoyment of each other.

    1. Las figuras de Venus, un término general para varias estatuillas prehistóricas femeninas retratadas con atributos físicos similares, eran muy populares en ese momento. Estas figuras fueron talladas en piedra blanda (como esteatita, calcita o piedra caliza), hueso o marfil, o formadas de arcilla y cocidas.

    1. DNA.

      Some induced mutations exposures I thought of were exposure to being in the sun too long, cigarette smoke, and some x-rays, like dental, medical, or screening at airport securities.

    2. Some deleterious mutations are null or knock-out mutations which result in a loss of function of the gene product. These mutations can arise by a deletion of the either the entire gene, a portion of the gene, or by a point mutation in a critical region of the gene that renders the gene product non-functional.

      Will these mutations cause issues to the chromosomes or just create mutations in the protein synthesis?

    3. no longer binds to the ribosome and inhibits protein synthesis.

      important This example of antibiotic resistance is a great representation of how mutations can occur and multiply when there is diversity and change in the ratio of mutants and wild-type cells.

    4. Why did so many mechanisms evolve to repair errors in DNA? By contrast, similar proof-reading mechanisms did NOT evolve for errors in transcription or translation.

      real-world-application I think that DNA is the overall structure of everything, and it acts as the template for all functions in the cell. It is the professor, and the RNA is the student's notes. They might have errors in them, but you can go back and fix them. It is way more important to have the right information in the DNA than the RNA, so that is why it has evolved to repair these errors so frequently.

    5. Such mutations may be of two types: induced or spontaneous. Induced mutations are those that result from an exposure to chemicals, UV rays, x-rays, or some other environmental agent.

      important induced mutations significantly increase changes of mutations and cancerous mutations. It is well known that if you use tanning beds or are in the sun without sunscreen, you increase your chances of skin cancer, which is an induced mutation.

    6. missense

      important missense mutations are different than silent and nonsense mutations. Missense mutations have a change in amino acid sequence while silent mutations don't have an affect on the amino acid made. Nonsense mutations are when the codon codes for the stop codon rather than the amino acid that is supposed to be there.

    7. Mutations

      I remember learning in my old biology classes that there are different types of mutations that can occur. There are frameshift and point mutations. A couple examples of frameshift mutations are insertions or deletions.

    8. If you were assigning wild type traits to describe a dog, what would they be? What is the difference between a mutant trait and variation of a trait in a population of dogs? Is there a wild type for a dog that we could use as a standard? How would we begin to think about this concept with respect to dogs?

      I think that the wild type traits of a dog would be light brown with splotches. Though, there is no such thing as a wild type dog in my opinion, there are wild type reptiles like the wild type hognose. The wild type hognose is brown and black with regular sized spots running down its body.

    1. at three main cell cycle checkpoints at which the cell cycle can be stopped until conditions are favorable. These checkpoints occur near the end of G1, at the G2–M transition, and during metaphase (see figure below).

      important: These cell checkpoints are super important for the cell to regulate and ensure that it can undergo cellular division. Without these checkpoints, the cell could have mutations, and it would not be able to fix them before moving to the next stage.

    2. The cell is accumulating the building blocks of chromosomal DNA and the associated proteins, and accumulating enough energy reserves to complete replicating each chromosome in the nucleus.

      important: The G1 phase is the longest phase because it prepares the cell for division and gains all of the neccessary resources for the replication of each chromosomes in the nucleus.

    3. Cytokinesis then occurs, dividing the cytoplasm and cell body into two new cells. Note

      Is cytokinesis count as a major process because it is the most visual and the actual creation of the two cells, even if mitosis is the process that matters the most?

    4. This process of DNA replication is typically occurring at the same time as a growth in the physical dimensions of the cell. Therefore, as the cell elongates, the growing membrane aids in the transport of the chromosomes towards the two opposite poles of the cells. After the chromosomes have cleared the midpoint of the elongated cell, cytoplasmic separation begins.

      question: is there any signal or anything that tells the bacteria to go into binary fission, or is it just a spontaneous reaction?

    1. do not offer enough support to displaced people living in abject conditions.

      They have the ability to offer great support however, they may choose not to. They do not see the pain of other humans.

    2. I was most scared of seeing my children die right in front of me

      Parents in developed countries should take a moment to sit down and think of this sentence and imagine them in that place.

    3. I am sure that there is one little girl whose family fled her country in desperation who once studied so hard in school, dreaming of becoming the greatest scientist in the world. I am also sure that there is a young boy who survived persecutions and wishes to become a politician one day to make the world a better place for the downtrodden

      If these kids are given a chance, they could do something great in a developed country. The hopes and ambitions can maybe change the future.

    4. am sure that one of the mothers who escaped her war-torn home country with her family has the sole hope to witness her children growing up in a happy and free place, just like any mother in the world.

      Every child deserves a protected environment.

    5. In this crisis, it is our common responsibility as members of an international community to help those who are in need.

      I agree. More charity organizations should be formed

    6. around 70 million displaced people in developing countries, which is the highest recorded number since the 1950s, causing the United Nations to call this world issue “a crisis.

      I believe that big nations can work together to resolve this issue. Our tax dollars should be contributed towards developing these countries.

    7. efugees, inequalities, economic instabilities...the fact that we are bombarded by news on those topics every day is proof that we live in a world with lots of problems, and many of us suffer as a consequence

      This is an impressive hook statement. Uses options we have to write hooks.

    1. What is the cultural norm in your family unit regarding who you live with and when, or even if, you are expected to establish your own home?

      Since I am catholic and in a Mexican house hold I was taught to have a cross and Jesus stuff around the house or wherever I go.

    1. s a child, what toys did you play with? Were these toy selections at all influenced by your parents, the media, or friends? Why or why not?

      Growing up I didn't really play with toy, I was usually scared of dolls and barbies. I was more of a sport girl I would rather kick a soccer ball than play with dolls. I didn't play with toys so it didn't influence anybody.

    1. Myelin, a coating of fatty tissues around the axon of the neuron (Carlson, 2014).
      • insulates nerve and speeds up the impulses between cells while supporting the neural pathways
      • improves coordination, thought process and movement.
      • present in adolescents but most dramatic first years
    2. Synaptic Pruning, where neural connections are reduced thereby making those that are used much stronger
      • helps master our complex skills. experience will determine which connections are kept in our brains.
      • occurs during childhood and adolescence after blooming period
    1. Whether in professional or personal contexts, positive verbal and nonverbal feedback can boost others’ confidence, and negative feedback, when delivered constructively, can provide important perception checking and lead to improvements.

      I think I do fine with formal feedback. I'm sure there's room to improve, but for the most part, I do fine giving advice without needing to take something away from it. Advice is to help the other person, not to make yourself feel better. I love to help others with their works, so this comes naturally to me.

    1. To be a better empathetic listener, we need to suspend or at least attempt to suppress our judgment of the other person or their message so we can fully attend to both.

      Empathic listening is something I struggle with. I often am too logically inclined or I try to take the spotlight, and I need to learn to just be there for people. The problem I face is that I often get uncomfortable just listening to people without saying anything, so any advice on how to think about this would be welcomed.

    1. Physiological noise is noise stemming from a physical illness, injury, or bodily stress

      Being raised in a difficult household, My sense of physiological noise is often skewed. I often am tense without reason, due to rampant, chronic stress, along with muscle spasms. However, I have learned to live with it and listen even when I'm distracted by this noise.

    2. Physiological noise, like environmental noise, can interfere with our ability to process incoming information.

      I remember when I was being raised, my parents would argue almost every night and keep me up. The walls were very thin, and I could often hear the TV being played or them yelling at each other. Needless to say, It was hard to talk at home without any background noise, whether it was in person with friends or online.

    1. In general, students with high scores for listening ability have greater academic achievement.

      I feel as though I listen well, but sometimes I express my opinions too often, sometimes interrupting people. I need to work on this and figure out the right cadence and rhythm to conversations, as I can often miss that mark.

    1. cell division, then interphase involves normal cellular processes as well as three stages that prepare the cell for division. Preparation for cell division occurs in three phases occurring in the following order: G1 ph

    1. Their nervous systems are frequently less complex than human systems, which facilitates the research. It is much easier to learn from a system with thousands of neurons compared to one with billions of neurons like humans. Also, nonhuman animals may have other desirable characteristics such as shorter life cycles, larger neurons, and translucent embryos

      benefits to using animal subjects

    1. Structural imaging techniques with ASD have focused on which brain structures have physical differences. MRIs have found a thicker frontal cortex (Carper & Courchesne, 2005) and a thinner temporal cortex (Hardan et al., 2006) in patients with ASD. These areas are notable because the frontal cortex is linked to communication and language abilities and the temporal cortex is linked to auditory processing (ie. language input), both of which are issues that many with ASD struggle with.

      connection to Autism

    2. Drawbacks of MRI scans include their much higher cost, and patient discomfort with the procedure.

      disadvantages - tight space, noise, length of scanning time

    3. The X-ray is a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength capable of penetrating solids and ionizing gases.

      definition of x -ray

    1. For example, the Western notion of family changed significantly as populations moved from farm- and household-based economies to industrial factories and into cities.

    2. Queering these relationships can certainly lead to burdens, including negative judgment and discrimination from external sources.

      what strateiges has the LGBTQ communiity confirm to be the nost effective when dealing with all the hardships including discrimintation?

    3. The U.S. census counted approximately 10.7 million adults (4.3 percent of the U.S. adult population) who identify as LGBTQ+ and 1.4 million adults (0.6 percent of the U.S. adult population) who identify as transgender.

      I believe the fact that it displays a significant quantity in regards to the population within the LGBTQ community in the United states alone reflects the importance of how medical, academic and the the government should consider everyones needs.#Keyfact

    4. same-sex relationships form within the culturally defined social norms that organize sexuality and pair bonding in a society

      As we can see, now that more people are accepting of same sex relationships, more people are coming out without having that fear that they are not going to be accepted. More people in society means that more relationships are going to occur.

    5. improves one’s sense of self-worth, increasing optimism and positive affect

      I can connect to this saying as having the support from your family is the biggest thing. You are able to do greater things when you know your family will have your back no matter what. Especially through the tough times, you can always count on family. I know I have, and always will.

    6. moderate model defines family as “all households with children, including same-sex households.

      We can see here that families do not discriminate when it comes to having children, all living in the same household. We should not judge others for the way they want to start a family.

    1. Buffer solutions do not have an unlimited capacity to keep the pH relatively constant (Figure 4.1.34.1.3\PageIndex{3}). If we add so much base to a buffer that the weak acid is exhausted, no more buffering action toward the base is possible.

      If they have an unlimited capacity but if you add to much base it removes the buffering, how much base is to much?

    2. A solution of acetic acid (CH3COOHCH3COOH\ce{CH3COOH} and sodium acetate CH3COONaCH3COONa\ce{CH3COONa}) is an example of a buffer that consists of a weak acid and its salt.

      In this example is the salt for the weak acid a base?

    1. Arjuna, this is the superconscious state of mind. Attaining this state, one is no longer deluded. Gaining this state, even at the end of one’s life, a person becomes one with the Absolute.

      Krishna describes the state of self-realization as transcending worldly illusions, leading to inner peace and liberation from suffering.

    2. How has the dejection come to you at this juncture? This is not fit for a person of noble mind and deeds. It is disgraceful, and it does not lead one to heaven, O Arjuna.

      Krishna's admonishment of Arjuna highlights the importance of duty and righteousness, urging Arjuna to rise above his emotional turmoil.

    3. He did not want to see the horrors of the war; but preferred to get the war report through his charioteer, Sanjaya. Sage Vyasa granted the power of clairvoyance to Sanjaya.

      Dhritarashtra's refusal to see the war directly reflects his avoidance of responsibility and his inability to confront the consequences of his actions.

    4. The war of Mahabharata has begun after all negotiations by Lord Krishna and others to avoid it failed.

      This line sets the stage for the conflict in the Mahabharata epic and introduces the central dilemma faced by Arjuna.

    1. Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.E.) , who believed that it was the brain and not the heart where the locus of the mind resided. He wrote: "It ought to be generally known that the source of our pleasure, merriment, laughter, and amusement, as of our grief, pain, anxiety, and tears is none other than the brain. It is specially the organ which enables us to think, see, and hear......It is the brain too which is the seat of madness and delirium, of the fears and frights which assail us" (Gross, 1987, p. 843-844).

      it was Hippocrates who really understood that it was the brain that housed each function that contributed to human behavior

    2. Early philosophers, such as Aristotle (384-322 B.C.E.), believed that one's mind resided in the heart. He believed that since our blood started from the heart, the soul also originated there. Plato (428-347 B.C.E.) argued that the executor of reason was the heart and our animalistic desires and emotions were controlled by the liver

      the ideas behind how humans actually behaved are completely contesting from what we believe today. it is interesting to see how scientists theories have evolved over time.

    3. 1949, Donald Hebb wrote his influential book, The Organization of Behavior, where he introduced the first comprehensive theory on how the brain might create and control complex psychological functioning, such as thought, memories, emotions and perceptions.

      apart of psychobiology's origin an important milestone of the study

    4. Later discoveries of neuropeptides, neuromodulators, and certain gases have added to the complexity of chemical communication in the brain.

      highlights the increasing complexity understood in brain chemical communication

    5. the neuron doctrine, the hypothesis that the functional unit of the brain is the neuron, also known as a nerve cell

      states that the nervous system comprises individual nerve cells called neurons

    6. the identification of the specific structural unit responsible for these brain functions, the neuron

      emphasizing the neuron's central role in the nervous system

    7. With their high level of detail, MRI and fMRI are often used to compare the brains of healthy individuals to the brains of individuals diagnosed with psychological disorders.

      understanding the brain's role in behavior and cognition

    8. In 1924, Hans Berger recorded the first human brain EEG. This machine allowed researchers to study the overall electrical activity of the brain.

      significant advancement in the ability to study brain's electrical activity

    9. In 1848, John Martyn Harlow treated Phineas Gage and documented his case. Gage, who was a railroad worker, had his frontal lobe pierced by an iron tamping rod in a blasting accident. He survived the trauma but suffered extensive damage to his left prefrontal cortex (Macmillan, 2001). Through Gage's case study, Harlow showed the connection between the prefrontal cortex damage, executive functioning, and personality changes.

    1. Free will vs. determinism is an issue that is far from being resolved and remains controversial even among scientists, including biological psychologists.

      it is actually quite intriguing that the question of whether free-will even exists or not has come up not just in psychology but biopsychology specifically and is still highly debated

    2. hich literally means that the mind and the functioning of the brain (assumed to be entirely physical) are two (dual) separate processes, completely independent of one another.

      mind-body dualism or mind-brain dualism

    3. mind-body dualism or mind-brain dualism,

      this would mean they are completely independent from one another but doesn't there have to be some form of physicality for its function?

    4. his means that the mind, our mental processes and subjective mental experiences, must also be entirely physical processes in an entirely material brain.

      there HAS to be a way to simplify this statement

    5. For example, we now know that damage to an area of the brain known as the primary visual cortex, at the very back of your head in the occipital lobe, will result in blindness even though the rest of your visual system, including your eyes, is functioning normally.

      I've always thought there had to be some sort of physical damage done to the eye for blindness to occur.. this is interesting

    6. destroyed and/or removed as much as 90% of the brain tissue of their animal subjects.  Nevertheless, these animals could still perform basic behavioral and physiological functions. Some who read these results made the incorrect assumption that this meant that animals were using only 10% of their brains.  Subsequently, this interpretation was generalized to humans (Elias and Saucer, 2006).

      Scientists were actually experimenting on animals, which goes to show that this idea that the percent that animals use their brain vs. humans share no direct correlation

    7. Studies of humans with brain damage have revealed that the effects of brain damage are correlated with where the damage is and how extensive it is.

      this disproves the idea that humans only use 10% of their brain

    8. Nevertheless, these animals could still perform basic behavioral and physiological functions. Some who read these results made the incorrect assumption that this meant that animals were using only 10% of their brains.  Subsequently, this interpretation was generalized to humans

      animals were in fact experimented on, and somehow this assumption carried over to humans-despite there being no direct correlation between the two. I find this interesting

    9. Because all behavior is controlled by the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), biopsychologists seek to understand how the brain functions in order to understand behavior and mental activities

      we must better understand how the brain functions before we can fully understand the ways in which it impacts certain behaviors and characteristics in humans

    10. With advances in research methods, more complex topics such as language, reasoning, decision making, intelligence, and consciousness are now being studied intensely by biological psychologists.

      Question: Why do psychologists find language and decision-making to be important aspects to study within the field of biopsychology?

    11. is the application of this principle to psychology and psychological processes

      The application of materialism to psychology and psychological process is the most important component of biopsychology.

    12. The entire universe is governed by physical laws.  This view of the universe is called materialism or physicalism--the view that everything that exists in the universe consists of matter, energy, and other physical forces and processes.

      materialism or physicalism is the view that the entire universe is governed by physical laws.

    13. Furthermore, prominent psychologists and researchers, such as Albert Einstein, Margaret Mead, and William James, were also quoted as saying that humans are using only a small portion of their brain (Elias and Saucer, 2006), fueling the 10% myth.

      using 10% of the brain is a myth

    14. Biological psychologists are interested in measuring biological, physiological, or genetic variables

      Biological psychology is concerned with these three components

    15. the localization of function.  This principle means that specific psychological and behavioral processes are localized to specific regions and networks of the brain.

      localization of function

    16. Key areas of focus within the field include sensation and perception; motivated behavior (such as hunger, thirst, and sex); control of movement; learning and memory; sleep and biological rhythms; and emotion.

      Key areas

    1. Social neuroscience uses the brain and body to understand how we think and act, with a focus on how we think about and act toward other people. It is an interdisciplinary field that uses a range of neuroscience measures to understand how other people influence our thoughts, feelings, and behavior. (We will examine this branch more in depth in Cognition and Intelligence Chapter)

      @JenniferHall What careers specifically could an individual pursue with an academic background on social neuroscience?

    1. Phototrophy is the process by which organisms trap light energy (photons) and store it as chemical energy in the form of ATP and/or reducing power in NADPH. There are two major types of phototrophy

    1. northern artists such as Jan van Eyck introduced powerful and influential changes, such as the perfection of oil paint and almost impossible representation of minute detail, practices that clearly distinguish Northern art from Italian art as well as art from the preceding centuries.

    1. нейромедіатор: ендогенна хімічна речовина, яка передає сигнали від нейрона до клітини-мішені через синапс. ацетилхолін: Цей нейромедіатор діє на нервово-м'язовий стик і синтезується з оцтової кислоти та холіну. Біогенні аміни: Нейромедіатори, розподілені в мозку, де вони відіграють певну роль в емоційній поведінці та допомагають регулювати біологічний годинник. глутамат: амінокислота, яка сприяє збудливим ефектам, збільшуючи ймовірність того, що клітина-мішень вистрілить потенціал дії.

      Дуже корисно і зрозуміло, але було б ще краще, аби додатково позначили рецептори до відповідних нейромедіаторів.

    1. Since on the earth, the ggg in the equation is equal to one, weight and mass are considered equal on earth. It is important to note that although ggg is equal to one in basic equations, it actually differs throughout earth by a small fraction depending on location; gravity at the equator is less than at the poles.

      g is not equal to one.

    1. Ethos, logos, and pathos were Aristotle’s three forms of rhetorical proof, meaning they were primary to his theories of persuasion. Ethos refers to the credibility of a speaker and includes three dimensions: competence, trustworthiness, and dynamism. The two most researched dimensions of credibility are competence and trustworthiness (Stiff & Mongeau, 2003).

      Coincidentally, I'm being assigned an essay in which I have to employ these techniques in English 101. Most of my annotations for this chapter tie back to being a writer. It's comforting to know that I can use the techniques I use as a writer while giving a speech.

    1. Inductive reasoning reaches conclusions through the citation of examples and is the most frequently used form of logical reasoning (Walter, 1966). While introductory speakers are initially attracted to inductive reasoning because it seems easy, it can be difficult to employ well. Inductive reasoning, unlike deductive reasoning, doesn’t result in true or false conclusions. Instead, since conclusions are generalized based on observations or examples, conclusions are “more likely” or “less likely.” Despite the fact that this type of reasoning isn’t definitive, it can still be valid and persuasive.

      I think this is the most frequently used form of logical reasoning because it's simple. I disagree with the author's point that inductive reasoning "can be difficult to employ well." It's just referencing a source through citation just like you see in this sentence. I don't think of inductive reasoning in terms of likelihood when I hear or see someone use it. I just think, "ok here's something that backs up what the speaker is saying" and make a determination as to whether or not it makes sense to me. Maybe this is because I'm reading this from the perspective of a writer rather than a speaker.
