Thus, two cognitive theories have been proposed to explain key deficits in autism: theory of mind hypothesis and executive function theory. Each theory offers a different explanation for the deficits seen in autism, with both theories effectively explaining different aspects...

Kane argues through the libertarian theory that free will is incompatible with determinism. He attempts to solve the problem of free will through his theory of ultimate responsibility (UR), which requires both will-setting actions and plurality conditions, entailing free will (FW) and alternate possibilities (AP). UR premises that “in order to be ultimately responsible for an action, an agent must be responsible for anything that is a sufficient reason, cause, or motive for the actions occurring”(Kane). He furthers the legitimacy...

In regards to the movie ‘Legally Blonde’, the entire plot of the...

He came to the conclusion that the change in heteronomous and autonomous morality depends on changes in cognitive skills, the change in perspective of...

“No human….at work” -Ania Loomba, (Indian scholar) Colonialism/Postcolonialism Many literary works have a sense of “greater authority” or “identity loss” in them, and it is exactly this that makes them akin to colonialist literature, even when at first glance, the books seem to do nothing with postcolonialist literary theory. In Catch 22, we see this element of Postcolonialist theory through representations of oppressors, non-oppressors and the immoral “other”, a role of language that supports this power dynamic, and identity loss...

Our experiences develop us into ourselves. The self refers to who we are and our beliefs about attributes and attitudes (Baumeister, 1999). We develop ourselves as we try to find answers to the universal questions of ‘‘Who or what am I?’’ (Markus & Hamedani, 2007). Self-concepts change and we can have multiple self-concepts overtime (Baumeister 1998). Cross cultural psychology assumes that culture exists separate from the individual and influences our personality (Church & Lonner, 1998). Furthermore, without culture there is...

If you’ve studied science, or you’re studying science, you’ve probably asked yourself a hundred questions about the difference of things. You would have asked the difference between law and principle. You would have wondered about how compounds and mixtures are varied. You would have questioned the distinction between weight and mass. Science, admittedly, is a complex subject because it encompasses the entirety of the universe. The universe definitely is the most complicated and multifaceted topic one can ever dig into,...

If I had to choose a theory of human development that best fits my viewpoint, I would select Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory. This theory is very interesting because of its concreteness and good sense. I found that it stems from psychodynamic theory which explains similarities and differences in human’s development at different ages and their abilities to solve problems and conflicts. There is a slight difference between psychodynamic and Ecological theory. According to psychodynamic theory, a person develops through overcoming barriers...

Although this theory was effected in 1938, during that time, social interests were not awakened; hence it was referred to as the ‘sleep theory.' However, it did gain public interest in the year 1954 which was due to its insistence on the notion that crime comes as a result of innovation.
