Circadian rhythm is rhythms that last 24 hours, one day. An example of a Circadian Rhythm is the sleep-wake cycle. Because this rhythm occurs daily, it is tempting to automatically assume that the factors which control it are exogenous zeitgebers, such as natural light patterns, TV, radio, birdsong, Research however has gone into this to find out what exactly controls the circadian rhythms.…

Evolutionary theories often emphasize that humans have adapted to their physical environment. One such theory hypothesizes that people should spontaneously follow a 24-hour cycle of sleeping and waking—even if they are not exposed to the usual pattern of sunlight. To test this notion, eight paid volunteers were placed (individually)b in a room in which there was no light from the outside and no clocks or other indications of time. They could turn the lights no and off as they wished. After a month in the room, each individual tended to develop a steady cycle. Their cycle at the end of the study was as follows: 25, 27, 25, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 25.…

In an observation dealing with Bursatella leachi, a sea slug, scientists recorded data over a 10-day period. They had noticed that the same pattern was occurring with the movement of the slugs. The slugs at one point would be relatively close to each other and as time went on they would move further away and then move closer again.…
Infradian rhythms are biological rhythms that last for more than 24 hours. They are controlled by the hypothalamus, an endogenous pacemaker which requires input from exogenous zeitgebers so the rhythm can run correctly.…
I saw a microaggression at a San Diego Charger and Raider Game. A Hispanic gentlemen instigated the microaggession. The target of the microaggression was a heterosexual African-American couple. Both were standing during a play in the second quarter and the Hispanic gentlemen shouted " y'all niggas sit down ". The first remark was ignored by the African -American couple, however, a few moments later the Hispanic gentlemen repeated the remark.…

Tides are the periodic rise and falling of large bodies of water. The word tide is a term used to define the alternating rise and fall in sea level relevant to the land produced by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun.…
The study of animal behavior is ethology. There are two basic categories of animal behavior: learned behavior and innate, or inherited, behavior. Learned behavior is when animals acquire knowledge about their behavior through experience. Unlike learned behaviors, innate behavior exists naturally in animals, meaning that animals are born with some behaviors. In order to find a suitable environment, animals use orientation behaviors. The two types of orientation behaviors are taxis and kinesis. Taxis is an animal’s natural ability to know whether a stimulus is suitable or unsuitable. Kinesis is defined as random movement that is not exhibited in response to a stimulus (Lab #12).…
The Highest Tide has two prominent themes, exploration of marine life and teen angst. The main character, Miles along with his other adolescent friends and foes (A.K.A., Frankie Marx) perfectly exhibit the symptoms of the phenomena that is teen angst. Symptoms such as defiance of authority figures, self-centered tendencies, emotional turmoil and adventures of sexuality both fit under the category of teen angst/adolescence and are examples presented in the book by the characters of teen age.…

When you think of movement most people think of When you think of movement we only think of movement when it comes to a vehicle driving down the road, maybe a person walking down the street, are riding a bike. How about political, migration, better jobs, low taxes, and health care, but have you thought of how analyzing the movement in a film? type of movement that happen in films. Even though movement are enjoyable, relaxing, hard, lengthy, terrifying, and or for a purpose, movement can make a difference on how a person will like or dislike a film.…
The coastal migration theory is the most probable way that early humans migrated into the Americas. Some scientists say that the ice-free corridor that revealed the passageway into the americas from the land bridge may have not existed until after the the land bridge disappeared. If early people skirted along the west coast of the americas in boats, they could have gotten to the americas a lot earlier because the ice near the west coast of the americas melted a lot faster than the ice on the interior. Scientists have also found various 14,000 year old artifacts scattered throughout parts of southern California, all the way down to the north of chile. The Bering land bridge was not present until 11000 years ago, so if scientists found artifacts…
