Altered States
Number of words: 553 - Number of pages: 3.... late for work. It replays, better than any video system, yesterday's Cowboys game. Or it creates a pleasant imaginary world where its owner wins all arguments, tells hilarious jokes, and attracts the opposite sex like a magnet. By splitting into two halves, the mind deals with the boredom of driving.
The mind has defence not only against the auto but also against television. Since too much staring at flickering images of police officers, detectives, and talk-show hosts can be dangerous to human sanity, the mind automatically goes ito a TV hypnosis state. The eyes see the sitcom or th .....

Drug Dogs
Number of words: 736 - Number of pages: 3.... to fetch a thrown ball, and after retrieving the ball, begins to tear it to pieces. These types of dogs are known for performing their job the best.
The second type of drug dog would be the compulsive dog. This dog compares closely to the aggressive dog. The compulsive dog will tend to be a dog that is ready to go at all times. This dog will have to be held back even when it is not needed to perform. Compulsive dogs are dogs that are born to retrieve and do not have to be taught. These dogs will fetch the first time you throw a ball or an item. These dogs train quicker than the aggressive .....

Physical Education In Secondary Schools
Number of words: 1140 - Number of pages: 5.... "knows the implications of and
the benefits from involvement in physical activity". The last factor is that a
physically fit person "values physical activity and its contributions to a
healthful lifestyle". The plan as physical educators is to have each child be a
physically fit person, by their exit of high school. This will take some work
but I believe it could be done.
Another very important issue to be learned in secondary physical
education is teamwork. This is a very important aspect in everyday life. This
helps people think of others as much, or more, than themselves. Today .....

The Cybernetic Plot Of Ulysses
Number of words: 3004 - Number of pages: 11.... and its successful returns. ULYSSES works rather
neatly as a cybernetic allegory, in fact, not only in its represented
action, but also in its history as a text. The book itself, that is, has
reached us only by a devious path around Cyclopean censors and the Scylla
and Charybdis of pirates and obtuse editors and publishers. ULYSSES both
retells and re-enacts, that is, the Odyssean journey of information that,
once sent, is threatened and nearly thwarted before it is finally received.
We are talking, of course, of cybernetics avant la lettre -- before
Norbert Wiener and others had co .....

What Is Postmodernism
Number of words: 2477 - Number of pages: 10.... seen this as a symbol of the end of modernity. Society was reacting against modern architectural ideas having lost faith in the modern ideals. Although modern architecture might have been scientifically advanced using the latest and cheapest materials, people rejected it, preferring to return to a variety of styles from the past. Examples of this can be seen in the rejuvenation of the Albert Dock in Liverpool, and “mock” medieval squares.
Similarly in Sociology postmodernism rejects the theories of the past, and represents a break from the “modern” way of thinking. .....

History Of The Hot Dog
Number of words: 521 - Number of pages: 2.... Exposition brought hordes of visitors who consumed large quantities of sausages sold by vendors. People liked this food that was easy to eat, convenient and inexpensive. In the same year, sausages became the standard fare at baseball parks. This tradition was begun by a St. Louis bar owner, Chris Von de Ahe, who also owned the St. Louis Browns major league baseball team.
Also in doubt is who first served the dachshund sausage with a roll. One report says a German imigrant sold them, along with milk rolls and sauerkraut, from a push cart in New York City during the 1860's. In 1871, Charles Fe .....

Stowaways
Number of words: 2454 - Number of pages: 9.... are just tired of being on the rock bottom of the economic ladder,
and are desperate for a better life in a different place. This is really the
basic reason why someone would want to spend a week or so crammed into a stuffy
container or other similarly uncomfortable accommodations in order to get from
wherever they are to somewhere else. It isn't because they just didn't have the
money for a plane ticket, but it is the fact that they are being lured by the
prospect of a better life. They are willing to leave their homelands and endure
uncertain conditions in order to get there.
There is, .....

Interpreting Poverty In The Gr
Number of words: 504 - Number of pages: 2.... means is that at one point in time we used to care for the homeless. We used to try and help them out. Now we don’t care and we just want to get rid of them. This is very similar to the situation in the Grapes of Wrath. At first they wanted thousands of people to come and work, but when they actually started coming, the general public wanted to get rid of them. “And the men of the towns and of the soft suburban county gathered to defend themselves; and the reassured themselves that they were good and the invaders were bad, as a man must do before he fights. They said, these Okies a .....

Jungle And The Rain Forest
Number of words: 782 - Number of pages: 3.... rain forest is characterized by broadleaf evergreen trees forming
a closed canopy, an abundance of vines and epiphytes (plants growing on the
trees), a relatively open forest floor, and a very large number of species
of both plant and animal life. The largest trees have buttressed trunks and
emerge above the continuous canopy, while smaller trees commonly form a
layer of more shade-tolerant species beneath the upper canopy. The maximum
height of the upper canopy of tropical rain forests is generally about 30
to 50 m (100 to 165 ft), with some individual trees rising as high a .....

Telecommuting 2
Number of words: 690 - Number of pages: 3.... in the operation of equipment, but also in the manufacture and transportation of the required materials. An increase in the percentage of people telecommuting to work will decrease the need for expanded highways and associated road maintenance. Once a person arrives at a central office working location, he or she represents another energy consumer, often times magnified over what would be required at home. The office building has heating, cooling, and lighting needs, and the materials to build it and maintain it require energy in their production and transportation. Working from home requir .....
