Why Do We Riot? "All of us‚ even the most sophisticated‚ intelligent‚ educated persons‚ are vulnerable to regression‚” says Ken Eisold‚ a New York-based psychoanalyst who studies group behaviour.

Introduction: A chemical reaction involves the breaking and forming of bonds in order to create the necessary energy required to cause movement. Each reaction is catalyzed (an increase in rate because of a present catalyst) by a specific enzyme. Enzymes are able to denature proteins‚ meaning that a protein loses its original shape by uncoiling‚ giving it a random‚ unstructured shape.

One argument from death penalty supporters is that the death

Science paints a similar picture‚ highlighting the randomness of events preceding Man’s ‘creation’ (an ‘accidental collocation of atoms’) Whatever our endowments from Nature‚ we are doomed to extinction as the Universe dies (Doomsday Scenario).
