In a limited discussion and results section, Ghirlanda et al. (now to be referred to as G et al.) suggested the possibility that differences exist between the facial processing methods of the humans and the chickens: while chickens may use some general mechanism, it is a more advanced mechanism in humans that allows them to process faces. An uncertainty is expressed, however, about whether attractiveness preference is reflective of the operation of these general mechanisms or if, instead, it is a

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist after growing up” (Pablo Picasso). Teachers should use creativity to help students find a balance between different types of thinking. Therefore, creative skills are just as important as a creative attitude. Schools need to offer children a larger variety of creative experiences. It’s a wonderful way for children to express themselves. Furthermore, expression is very important because everyone needs a chance to show who they are and

In the current political climate, anything said against the government is deemed unpatriotic by certain areas of the culture. Patriotism is bandied about as a necessity by some, and derided completely by others. But what is true patriotism, and how necessary is it? The film Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, made in 1939, was originally condemned for being unpatriotic as it showed the ugly side of American democratic politics at a time where democracies were falling all over Europe. However, the film

Attractive people deserve to be more successful than ugly people In an ideal world, good looks appeal to job interviewers, potential mating partners and other situations where good looks can be added as an extra leverage in daily situations.

Introduction: The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of household substances, which contain naturally occurring ant-repelling chemicals, on ant behavior. While there are many plants that chemically repel ants, this project will test if there are any household products, which contain some of the same naturally occurring repellents, which ants will avoid. This paper will first identify what plants repel ants. The herbs and plants that best repel ants are tansy, catnip, pennyroyal

The commitment of being a writer in Dillard’s “Death of a Moth” In her essay “Death of a Moth,” Annie Dillard explores the amount of commitment required to be a writer. She finds that in order to be successful as a writer, you have to be fully committed, and ready to fully dedicate your life to your craft. Dillard models these ideas with a story about a moth that flew into a candle and burnt; becoming a second wick. She tells this story in great detail, and then connects it to her ideas about

With no prompt to abide by and no rules to adhere to, one will sense a burden, this burden being that of freedom and of independence. Within such a burden comes a great deal of power, the power of choice. This may be the most fearful power known to man as it can create a monstrosity, or in the right sense, a splendid opportunity to better themselves and the people around them. WIth choice though comes responsibility, this means that one may not have their parents as someone to lean on, to rant to

History has taught us that throughout time, despite the advancement of technology, the main reasons and the atmosphere of war have always been identical. William Owen’s Dulce Et Decorum Est and The Man He Killed by Tom Hardy portray the disheartening, tragic, yet ironic characteristics that encompasses the atmosphere that a warzone embodies. The poems differ the way that the overall message is delivered to the reader, yet they both are the similar in how they want to show the realistic, traumatic

It was Tuesday, July 18th. I was a nervous wreck. In desperate need of clothes to wear to impress... her. I begged my best friend Todd to join me at Woodfeild mall. He gave in and we went. Todd and I shopped for hours. Nothing looked good enough for...her. We were running out of time. I made-do with four short sleeve shirts from Champs and two pairs of sweatpants shorts from h&m. The total came out seventy dollars. We walked out and got into Todds car. I was shaking the entire ride home. Will she

psychologist at the University of Stirling, says, “People’s faces usually only differ subtly in symmetry. Everyone’s face is slightly asymmetrical, but in different ways.” (“What Makes a Pretty Face?,” 2016) Symmetry is created by averages and the averageness of a face is made up of the size and placement of the features on a face. In summary, the faces that seem that most beautiful have the best symmetry. Inner beauty is a much more vast concept than outer beauty. Outer beauty is something that
