    Why is human memory subject to error? Human memory is subject to error because human memory is imperfect just like many things in nature. The way we perceive things are not always accurate. Memory is not like a movie camera it is reconstructive. According to Wade & Tarvis (2012)‚ “Because memory is reconstructive‚ it is subject to confabulation--confusion of an event that happened to someone else with one that happened to you‚ or a belief that you remember something when it never actually happened”

    begin my argument‚ I will define some important key terms and set the yardstick (How to determine when a natural disaster is caused by humans?).

A natural cause is a cause that is completely uninfluenced by humans and a human cause is a cause that has been influenced by human actions.

    I guess it was bound to happen one day‚ but I really never thought it would happen to me. No one wants it to happen‚ but it came at the moment where I least expected it. Was it a near death experience? No‚ it was my first car accident. “Be careful and pay attention when you’re driving.” Said my dad. He always worries about things. I said‚ “I will‚ don’t worry I have everything under control.” I sort of chuckled in my head‚ thinking what’s the worst thing that could happen? I was only going down

    Experimental Errors and Uncertainty No physical quantity can be measured with perfect certainty; there are always errors in any measurement. This means that if we measure some quantity and‚ then‚ repeat the measurement‚ we will almost certainly measure a different value the second time. How‚ then‚ can we know the “true” value of a physical quantity? The short answer is that we can’t. However‚ as we take greater care in our measurements and apply ever more refined experimental methods‚ we can reduce

    An Accident A few years ago I received my dream car‚ a dark blue 1967 Ford Mustang with a 302 V-8 engine.

The best feeling I could have was when I was on the back roads far

    That day‚ strong winds were blowing and coal dark thunder clouds were racing in the sky. The wind shrieked and the sudden gusts of wind raised clouds of red dust. The sky darkened quickly and it threatened to rain but the weather held. A bright streak of lightning illuminated the sky and the distant rumble of thunder reached my ear. I quickened my pace. Finally‚ the weather fell apart and it started to rain cats and dogs. The rain came – first in big heavy drops that were as sharp as splinters of
