airstream mechanism is the method by which airflow is created in the vocal tract. Along with phonation‚ it is one of two mandatory aspects of sound production; without these‚ there can be no speech sound. The organ generating the airstream is called the initiator; for this reason the production of airflow is called initiation.

Organisms use many feedback mechanisms to either maintain or amplify important chemical systems. This could happen at a molecular level to coordinate

One obvious theme that I picked up when I read Invisible Man was the theme of invisibility. I think the theme of invisibility has different meanings to it. One meaning is that invisibility suggests the unwillingness of others to see the individual as a person.

White people often do not see black people as individual human beings
