Simmel and W.E.B. Du Bois have had a significant influence on important theories and ideas developed in the Social Sciences. Perhaps two of the most relevant and well-known concepts developed by both of these theorists are the concepts of “double consciousness” and “the stranger”. In this paper I will be analyzing both of these pieces of work to draw upon differences and similarities between the two. The similarities I will be elaborating on are the usage of the paradoxical figure‚ which both Simmel

A New theory on consciousness Abstract There has always been a clear distinction between what is considered rational thought and emotional behavior. The classical view is that rational thinking is more evolved than being emotional therefore the cortex‚ as a superb product of the evolution of brain must be responsible of the rational part of the self and the thalamic system‚ the one we share with birds and lizards must be the responsible of the emotions we feel. Nobody doubts that the thalamic

| Chemistry Lab Report | Constructing Heating/Cooling Curve | | Salman Ishaq 12-E | 1/27/2013 | | BACKGROUND As energy flows from a liquid‚ its temperature drops. The entropy‚ or random ordering of its particles‚ also decreases until a specific ordering of the particles results in a phase change to a solid. If energy is being released or absorbed by a substance remaining at the same temperature‚ this is evidence that a dramatic change in entropy‚ such as a phase change‚ is occurring. Because

Now‚ each individual in this room understands how their own mind works because we know how we think and how we feel. But we confuse this with understanding what consciousness is. Many individuals believe they are experts on consciousness simply because we are all
