Collecting memories “The memory is, for the soul, the experience of an already earned feeling; it’s de repetition of an idea without his executants; it’s a feeling that stayed in the brains and was experienced more or less shocking.” Introduction: “Everything starts with collecting and the need to make this collection recognizalbe. We all do it, collecting and keeping, some of us even obsessive. We keep the biggest garbage, but sometimes they have the biggest emotional value… all kinds of stuff wich we can’t actually use. But they are touchable memories, that call up a world of all kinds of expieriences: smells, sounds or images.” Since the beginning of humanity we’ve been trying to get our memory out of our heads. We make little
The ventilation in older houses causes poor air conditions and makes living conditions hard. The tiny particles of dust are the reason why older buildings have many more dust mites compared to the newer buildings in Springfield. Air quality is a key factor in eliminating being diagnosed with asthma. Dust mites are a problem in Springfield because there are so many older buildings and housing stock that have poor ventilation in them causing an increase of asthma. In order to prevent dust mites vacuuming the rugs, dusting, low humidity in the air and using air fresheners will help keep the air clean.
Note that a metaphor is introduced in the first sentence—the idea of the past at Auschwitz and other death camps echoing down through the ages. However, it is then immediately connected with a subject—tears—that cannot echo. This problem is commonly referred to as mixing metaphors, and using metaphors in this way can cause your reader a great deal of confusion hilarity, which does not serve the subject. At the very least, it can break the flow of a good metaphor by introducing an impossible image that your reader can’t correctly visualize. Another commonly used rhetorical device is parallelism.
In this case, the broken window is a signal that the community in New York was neglected, causing others to commit other types of crimes too. Once the window is repaired, people will feel less neglected and refrain from committing other crimes. However, recent studies and experiments, discussed in Caitlin M. Jones’ article “Genetic and Environmental Influences on Criminal Behavior”, show results that both contradict and support Gladwell, stating that genes also play a vital role in the outcomes of individuals’ behaviors. Other theories have also emerged; one of the more surprising ones coming from economist Rick Nevin, discussed in Shankar Vedantam’s “Research Links Lead Exposure, Criminal Activity”. Here, his theory argues that a high level of lead exposure leads to more violent behavior due to lead being a neurotoxin that causes impulsivity and aggression.
Interestingly in the Rutter study those who were adopted before the age of 6 months tended to show a more marked improvement compared to their older counterparts. This seems to coincide with Schaffer and Emerson’s Glaswegian infant study which showed that children below the age of 6 months treat everything indiscriminately having not formed an attachment. So naturally by definition the Romanian infants below 6 months couldn’t and didn’t suffer privation and so therefore didn’t suffer the effects of it later. However with the Rutter study it is hard to establish cause and effect. Many of the children suffered cognitive deficits but this might have rather been a result of a lack of substantial intellectual stimulation within the institutions as opposed to privation.
How can Alison Landsberg’s definition of “prosthetic memory” be critically applied to describe the concept of a museum of memory? Discuss with reference to one museum of your choice. [1]Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. Winston Churchill Churchill's words reflect a need to counteract the desire to forget other people's suffering in the face of the destruction of memories in the public consciousness, specifically [2]'the Nazis' attempt to wipe out a people and the memory that they ever existed'. Museums have responded by taking on the role of memory keepers, to preserve and tell the story of this terrible period.
Featured in a Men's Health magazine a familiar advertisement is placed the Old Spice advertisements, which always involve the idea of masculinity and a clear message that without their product you are a lesser man and clearly targeting young men who are trying to establish their personal identities. In the advertisement we have a young man depicted in his normal non-old spice using form and his other half is shown much more aggressive, talented and wild. The “manly” side also has several kiss marks lefts over his entire body. This suggests without the old spice he would not be able to reach the attention of the opposite sex. What also catches the readers attention is the print, “smell better than yourself”.
Although Maté is around these patients and talk to them all the time, the other side of the argument is that it doesn’t mean that drug addictions always originate from unhappiness. Most people with drug addictions are unhappy and depressed, although some people are just naturally susceptible to addictions. Maté demonstrates this theory by observing infant rats that did not get a lot of grooming from their parents. This lack of grooming leads to development of fewer benzo receptors and helps to prove his claim that all children need positive parental interactions to enhance the growth of their brains. These receptors are what the drugs bind with to create the psychological effect on the brain.

Even though this generation might be losing some ability to focus for long periods of time, technology is helping us adapt to the ever-changing world. There are people who believe that this generation is the dumbest, but others would disagree. Some would argue that times have changed, as have the ways of research and learning. This generation might not know the same things as their grandparents, but that is because they are taught different occurrences in history, then back when their grandparents and parents were in school. Furthermore, many people honestly believe that the technology isn’t making us stupid, but it is making that generation smarter and more capable of understanding the world around them.
