German Propaganda and the effects on The Holocaust and WWII Propaganda in general is the idea of getting others to believe in one’s own beliefs. Propaganda is the “attempt to influence behavior…by affecting through the use of mass media of communications, the manner in which a mass audience perceives and ascribes meaning to the material world.”1 Propaganda was a major part of Germany’s way to brain wash people into following Hitler and his army. The theme of Hitler and Goebbels, (Paul Joseph

that best fits his feelings at the time is cognitive-appraisal theory. The cognitive-appraisal theory states that “if a person notices a particular psychological response, that person has to decide what it means before he or she can feel an emotion” (Baird 195). In Tom’s case, about halfway through his Milgram’s experiment, his heartrate starts increasing and he starts sweating. He then stands up angry and declares that what is going on is wrong. He then proceeds to slam his fists on the table and say

Patricia Baird and MacDonald. However, after careful contemplation the concept of human cloning should not be permitted. Such a statement can be concluded due to the fact that it is opposed by the majority of Americans, as well as taking into consideration the risks associated with human cloning that are yet to be fully understood. Furthermore, individuals who are cloned are perceived as products and are thus seen as commodities rather than authentic human beings. Within her article, Baird addresses

However, Baird writes in “Transgender: ‘as the stars in the sky’” that “most of us are culturally heavily conditioned to categorize sex and gender in this binary, dimorphic way. But actually, life and nature are a lot more complex than that” (pg 113). Professor Davis exemplifies binary gender in the Western culture using public restroom as an example. She explains that an “individual must identify themselves with a stick figure either with a dress or pants as female or male.” However, Baird statistically

According to Deci, Ryan, and Guay (2013) some people believe humans are empty organisms; however, is it assumed by the meta-theory that we are inherently active and inclined by nature toward inner organization. This means that even as children we all inherit an instinct to organize and support our inner self in order to grow successfully. Through the meta-theory, self-determination theory was built (Deci et al, 2013). The heart of the self-determination theory is based around three autonomous behaviors

that homosexuality is a developmental problem caused by a weak bond between a father and son during one’s childhood. A failed relationship with one’s father can lead the boy to not fully internalize male gender identity and develop homosexually (Baird & Baird, 1995). Consider the gender development of identity. Infants indentify with their mother who is the first and primary source of nurturance and care. As girls age, they continue to identify mostly with their mother and boys shift towards their father

Louise Slaughter, a New York congresswoman, once wrote, “for most women, including women who want to have children, contraception, is not an option, it is a basic health care necessity”. In other words, Slaughter believes that for many women, no matter their decision on child bearing, contraceptives are are essential to their health. In short, contraception is just as important as a routine check up with a primary doctor. Furthermore, birth control serves more than one purpose; contraception controls

option. The main opposition to this view is the fact that there are other options available to those who cannot biologically produce children. Namely, the couples in question could turn to sperm donation, egg and embryo donation, or adoption (Baird 319). Baird claims this would allow for the couples to have children without “chang[ing] the integrity of our species” (318) by using cloning technology. What this viewpoint fails to take into account is the aforementioned right to reproductive freedom.

without protest. Even though many people were skeptical on this procedure and advancing medical technology she was a healthy, happy infant. “Today in vitro fertilization (IVF) is often the unremarkable choice of tens of thousands of infertile couples.” (Baird 12). Once considered unethical and unmoral, now is apart of everyday life. Now, genetic modification technology is quickly progressing, but how far should scientists be able to go when manipulating the human genome of embryos? Designer babies, or genetically

on whether college athletes should be paid. It has been known that the fewer scholarships given to student-athletes increase their competiveness on the field, which shows us that keeping money away from student-athletes makes them more competitive (Baird 2). There is also a case that student-athletes are being robbed because they are not receiving compensation for their own likeness (Holthaugh JR. 1). Television networks are paying millions for the rights to show big games on TV, which shows us that
