72 heterosexually active male and female participants, aged 18 to 25, were chosen for the experiment and divided into 4 groups; various behavioural and self reporting procedures, were analysed. In the experiment, the researchers aroused dissonance by making participants in the hypocrisy condition publicly advocate safer sex and AIDS prevention through recording a video announcement. Using self reporting questionnaire, subjects were then reminded of their own failure to comply with consistent condom use. To verify their responses to dissonance, the researchers provided the opportunity for participants to privately purchase condoms and HIV informative pamphlets. Primary findings showed that subjects in the induced hypocrisy group responded more positively to condom purchase than the other 3 groups.

The Catholic people were in support of Diem, where the Buddhists were not. Buddhist were soon prosecuted for their beliefs, and “under Diem’s family rule, Catholics received favored treatment and enjoyed special privileges and opportunities. Priests enjoyed political influence; most district and province chiefs were Catholics” (Moss 104). The Buddhist crisis took full force in June when a seventy-three-year old Buddhist monk immolated himself in front of many onlookers. When news footage of this event was received around the world, Americans were criticized for supporting a government that would allow religious persecution.
TMA01: Summarising and interpreting a table Average Level of shock at which 'teachers' refused to continue (Volts) Percentage of 'teachers' using maximum voltage Predictions made by: Psychiatrists 123 0 College students 140 0 Experimental Results: Original study 368 65 Ordinary man gives orders 224 20 Two experimenters give contradictory instructions 75 0 Adapted from Milgram, S (1974) Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View, London, Tavistock. The above table shows the average level of shock administered and the percentage of ‘teachers’ that used the maximum voltage, including the predictions made and eventual results. Most notably is the discrepancy between the predictions made and the experimental results. Psychiatrists predicted that the average shock at which the participant would refuse would be 123 volts, the results showed that this figure was actually 368 volts, more than twice what was predicted.

He testified on many occasions that his faith in Jesus was the only mechanism by which he could pursue and perform the art of science. Carver became a Christian when he was still a young boy, as he wrote in connection to his conversion in 1931.He was not expected to live past his twenty-first birthday due to failing health. Throughout his career, he always found friendship with other Christians. He relied on them especially when criticized by the scientific community and media regarding his research methodology. Carver viewed faith in Jesus Christ as a means of destroying both barriers of racial disharmony and social stratification.

Why They Are Not Allowed Since the 1980’s, gay men have been banned from donating blood due to the belief that they are more likely to be affected by HIV/ AIDS. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, “in 2008, the MSM (men who have sex with men) exposure category continued to account for the largest proportion of positive HIV test reports among adults, representing 45.1% (557) of positive tests reported” (Public Health Agency of Canada, 2011). Along with this, they represented 44% of new infections, and 19% of the affected group were unaware of their infection. Because of this, the governments of more than 25 countries have placed bans on men who have had sex with other men in certain time frames, ranging from 1-36 years, with some stating that if they have had sex with other men at all in their lives, they are ineligible. However, the main cause of HIV in gay men is not solely having sex with other men, but rather UNPROTECTED sex with an HIV positive partner.
12 April 2011 The Three Different Religions in Purple Hibiscus Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Purple Hibiscus, published by Anchor Books in 2004, is a first person narrative of life in the political turmoil of post-colonial Nigeria. The novel is told through the perspective of 15 year old Kambili Achike, the protagonist, who was raised in a very devout Catholic home. Her father, Eugene, was a very strict Catholic who projected himself to outsiders as an ideal Catholic man, yet subjected his own family – Kambili, her brother Jaja, and her mother – to various forms of psychological and physical harm. Eugene demanded perfection from his children in school, at home, and in their religious practices, and if perfection was not achieved, beatings would ensue. Kambili’s life changes after she is beaten by Eugene and then leaves her house to live with Eugene’s sister Ifeoma, who encourages her children to share their thoughts and feelings.
