Most people do not realize how important their cultures values, traditions, and beliefs are to them until they start comparing those morals to another culture. Many of our cultures have various behaviors and patterns that are similar to each other. These behaviors and patterns are called cultural universals. Cultural universals are “all the behavior patterns and institutions that have been found in all known cultures (McWhorter p.449)”. Specifically, the African American and Native American cultures…

measurements of different aspects of the forest ecosystem we gathered results to analyze the certain plotted area’s ecological efficiency and biomass. We investigated the energy transfer as you go up the trophic hierarchy. In addition we took a T-test comparing the mean of the leaf litter we collected for the before and after weights. 2. Introduction For the Forest Lab our goal was to observe and investigate how an ecosystem is structured. The purpose of the lab is for us to gauge the trophic composition…

were valued by societies, and treasured those who had the most power and the biggest armies.

went into the overall analysis of the trophic pyramids we later developed. The bottom layer represents the autotrophs, the second level represents the herbivores/detritivores and the top level represents the carnivores. We then used the biomass for each tree species to create the biomass pyramid. From there a energy pyramid could be constructed. We used the previous biomass values to be able to estimate the energy equivalent for each level of the pyramid. This led us to calculating the ecological efficiency…

intelligence is a natural type of common knowledge. “Charles Spearman (1904) suggested that the behaviors we consider intelligent have a common underlying factor that he labeled for general intelligence and specific intelligence. He labored the two types of intelligence, “g” for general intelligence and “s” for specific intelligence” (Rathus, 2008-2009 pg. 175 para 2). A person that has general…

In comparing my diet to the recommendations received by the Food Guide Pyramid, it is nothing like what I thought it was. I am over and under on most of the food groups breakdown. I was expecting to see more positive results in my diet; I thought that I ate a healthy diet most of the time. The grain food group as a whole, I was just one ounce under. I ate ½ of an ounce of whole grains, whereas I ate 4 ½ ounces of refined grains. Therefore, I need to consume more whole grains and less refined…

7. When mathematics mingles with art The Vitruvian man is Leonardo Da Vinci’s own reflection on human proportion and architecture. He manages to bring together ideas relating to art, architecture, human anatomy and symmetry in one distinct and commanding image. “Leonardo’s famous drawings of the Vitruvian proportions of a man’s body first standing inscribed in a square and then with feet and arms outspread inscribed in a circle provides an excellent early example of the way in which his studies…
