This summary provides an overview of the document "Schema By Nisbett":
1) The document discusses an experiment by psychologist Richard Nisbett to demonstrate unconscious schemas in the human mind. He presents words to participants and a story that aligns with those words to prove the influence of schemas.
2) As an example, Nisbett shows participants words like "self-confident" and "adventurous" along with a story about a mountain climber that matches those descriptions. This demonstrates how schemas can form our perceptions without our awareness.
3) Nisbett uses these kinds of active demonstrations to convince readers of just how powerful unconscious schemas are in shaping our views, enough to significantly influence
1. Schema By Nisbett
To demonstrate the unconscious processes, called "schemas", of our minds, Nisbett provides diagrams and excerpt passages from the experiments that
he references such that the audience can test themselves and realize his truth (18). Right at the start, he presents the words "self–confident",
Independent", "adventurous", and "persistent" and follows with a paragraph of a hypothetical mountain climber (19). The paragraph apparently aligns
with the words that were previously presented, and if words such as "reckless" or "conceited" were shown, the climber would align with those. Nisbett
actively demonstrates the reader's own schema and specifically chooses demonstrations like this to prove how influential these schema can be, enough

2. An Abundance Of Katherines Summary
John Green said, "How do you just stop being terrified of getting left behind and ending up by yourself forever and not meaning anything to the
world?" We have two kind of people related to this question: the ones that may ask this once in a lifetime and don't care so much about it and the
second ones, who may be people that are constantly afraid of this, of not leaving anything to be remembered or not doing something 'remarkable' in
their whole life. In 'An Abundance of Katherines', we find a second type of person. His name is Collin Singleton and in shorter words, he is passing
through the intellectually existentially in which he needs to do something that will never be erased in people's minds. He is a prodigy child who

The one eyed girl with purple hair and the pizza delivery boy who was frozen for a thousand years come together to create the popular animated
series, Futurama. This program is one of my favorites to binge on Netflix. I've spent countless nights watching this group travel through time and

4. Who Are Neanderthals?
Leading anthropologist Dr. Silas presented groundbreaking evidence Saturday morning that Neanderthals, a subspecies of humans thought extinct, not
only still live, but populate the Gophers football team at the University of Minnesota. Brain scans of team members revealed an absence of grey matter,
white matter, and, actually, all matter. "We didn't find anything in there," says Dr. Silas. "No empathy, no decency. Just an empty shell. Everything we
know about Neanderthals turns out to be a perfect fit." This adds to important findings in the scientific literature. According to Dr. Silas, it was known
already that Neanderthals possessed incredible fetch instincts. Discovering that they and Gophers football team members are one and the same is
something of a eureka moment for anthropologists. "Everything pieces together. It is clear that Neanderthals' remarkable talent in retrieving objects is,
in fact, what makes them uniquely adept at football today."... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The history of science is often told as a series of eureka moments. The ultimate triumph of the rational mind. But a certain cultural background could

7. Reach Of Imagination Vs. The Eureka Phenomenon
When scholars think of problems, more often than not, they don't seem to instantly find solutions. They tend to either imagine the problems, or put the
problems aside to help them later on. This applies in the two essays, The Eureka Phenomenon by Isaac Asimov and The Reach of Imagination by Jacob
Bronowski, when they both contribute to making decisions easier. However, the Reach of Imagination is better than the Eureka Phenomenon through
how it backs up its claims. In these two passages they have similar claims that help contribute to the overall idea of making decisions. They both make
a claim that it is possible to obtain information that seems hard at the surface. Although these problems seem like problems, the solutions to these
problems are simple, to not overthink it. Don't try to make the problem more... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In the Eureka Phenomenon, Archimedes, the relative of a king, wanted to help the king find out if the crown he was being sold was made completely
of gold. He tried several times, when suddenly he stopped thinking about the problem and went to sleep. Suddenly the solution came to him through a
dream when he least expected it, unlike in the passage The Reach of Imagination. In the Reach of Imagination they focused on the fact that humans can
imagine something that had occurred to find the solution to it, just like the fact that the child found the light in a tunnel 5 minutes after they turned off
the light. The Reach of Imagination showed the fact that the brain is a gift because they did the same exact experiments to dogs and the dog had
already forgotten where the light was, however in the Eureka Phenomenon they did that by drawing information stored in their brain and bringing it out
to put together a solution to a complex problem. The Reach of imagination was more relatable because they used a story to help support their argument

8. The Hunger Games: A Thematic Analysis
Films and novels have seen many interpretations of society throughout the years. Whether that may be as a post apocalyptic society in The Hunger
Games or as an advanced utopia in Back to the Future Part II, any type of civilization you can imagine has been brought to life on the big screen or
written in pages. There is however an idea in these societies that has been incorporated into most, if not all stories: the idea that this society is not as
perfect as it seems and may in reality, be holding society back.
The society may be represented as pure, holy, and beneficial to all who take part in it, but as the stories move on and symbolism (such as color) becomes
more and more important, we realize that this society is flawed and is actually hurting it's people. The system may be helping those who created it, but
it's lower citizens become more and more hopeless until they accept their lives in this society. This is a trope that has been repeated many times in
literature and cinema. But throughout this bleak and hopeless society, the creators of these stories incorporate a protagonist who in their own moment
of eureka, break free of the shackles brought on by their society and ultimately, inspire hope and life to others.
There are two notable instances of this ideology being presented: ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Contrary to popular belief, "eureka moments" do not happen behind the microscope, in the bedroom with a pen and paper, or in the lab with a beaker
and chemicals. In fact, a moment of sudden revelation does not occur suddenly at all. Eureka moments begin at the bus stop with the guy wearing the
cool conversation–starting glasses that tells you about a riveting book he's reading. A eureka moment develops in the Starbucks line when you hear the
guy in front of you complain about consistent problems he is having. A eureka moment exposes itself when all of the tidbits of information that you've
collected from those around you cultivate into a cohesive and revolutionary solution. Although a flash of insight seems instantaneous, ideas do not exist
in a vacuum. Ideas exist in a network; they exist in collaboration with others' ideas. One's ideas are a direct result of one's environment and the

14. Summary Of The Poem XIV By John Walcott
From the very beginning of the poem "XIV", it is clear the author is describing an experience that has left a lasting impression on him. Walcott vividly
details his childhood visit with the elderly storyteller, and his journey there. Throughout the poem the author uses poetic devices to convey how this
experience was a defining moment in his transformation from childhood to adulthood, and contributed to his identity and newfound wisdom. It is
apparent from the first line of the poem that author is in a state of overriding fear travelling through the unknown: likening the road to an "old snake
shedding its skin." A snake is a clear representation of childhood fear and youthful paranoia, due to its intimidating nature. Walcott compares the path to
a snake because he fears it just like a snake, to him the path is daunting and potentially deadly at first. The author not only compares the road to a snake
but a snake shedding its skin. This paints a grotesque image for readers and illustrates how he views his initial journey with anything but enthusiasm.
The author is in the unfamiliar wilderness searching for not only the storyteller's house but himself. His state of childhood terror is only counterbalanced
by his encounter with the storyteller. Walcott effectively separates the poem into two parts according to the state of mind he was in: fright and then
wonder. He shifts from these two contrasting moods by stating "There's childhood, and there's childhood's

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green is an unpredictable, charming, and coming–of–age novel that has captivated readers of various preferences

child prodigy and genius– and his best friend, Hassan Harbish, as they embark on a road trip intended to distract Colin from a devastating break–up
and hopefully inspire Colin to have the "eureka moment" he so gravely strives for. While on the road trip, they meet Lindsey Lee Wells and her
mother, along with a few of her friends. Throughout the novel, Colin and Hassan encounter many conflicts. These conflicts are a key element to this

All of the conflicts essentially lead to the resolution and moral of the story. The overall meaning of An Abundance of Katherines is all about accepting
yourself and becoming who you want to be– even if there are others like you– and that no matter how many patterns you find, the future will always be
unpredictable. In the novel, Colin strives to become a child prodigy and feels compelled by his own emotions to come up with a great theorem so
that others may view him as a child prodigy before it is too late. He sets out to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability– a theorem
he designed to predict the future of any relationship (derived from his 19 experiences dating a Katherine). However, in the end he starts dating Lindsey
and tests his theorem out on their relationship. His results showed that their relationship will only last four days; but, when the fourth day comes and
they are still a couple, Colin undergoes his "eureka moment." "In the moment, the future– uncontainable in any theorem mathematical or otherwise–
stretched out before Colin: infinite and unknowable and beautiful. 'Eureka,' Colin said, and only in saying it did he realize he had just successfully

23. Colum Mccann's Let The Great World Spin
Home for most people is a tangible thing: their room, their little clearing in the woods, their reading nook in the closet. But home doesn't have to be a
physical location. Home is a place that brings comfort– it can be between the pages of a favorite book, it can be in the notes of a favorite song, it can
be inside your mind palace. Many people are still looking for home: lost and wandering, floating through life without an anchor. Unbeknownst to them,
they already have a home too easy to find. It might not be a "Eureka!" moment of self–discovery, but anyone can find bits and pieces of their home,
their identity within the magical pages of the books they read. In Let the Great World Spin, author Colum McCann says, "All of us are sort of lost

24. Honor In John Green's 'An Abundance Of Katherines'
Honor. By dictionary definition the word honor means "high respect"1 but this definition does not even begin to give justice to the word. Honor is
so much more than simply high respect; Honor is having integrity and doing what is right. It is keeping your promises. Honor is about showing
respect to those who have passed away and performing selfless acts. A person's definition of honor may consist of all these things and it also may
consist of many other elements. Honors significance to a person is based on multiple different things including conformity, a person's age and what
there American dream is. Often times in life people will feel it necessary to conform in order to fit into certain groups of people. When a person
conforms it usually leads to them changing the way they behave. This... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Of course this dream that so many citizens have is greatly affected by honor. The way it affects people varies from person to person, from dream
to dream. There is no blanket statement to made that can encompass all the ways honor plays into the achieving of someone's dreams, but it is
indeed significant to every dreamer out there. To put this in perspective here is yet another quote from John Green's novel, "An Abundance of
Katherines", "The book said that many important discoveries contained a 'Eureka Moment.' And even then, Colin very much wanted to have some
important discoveries..." (Green 3). In order for Colin to achieve his dream of having a "Eureka moment" and of finally mattering he would need to
be viewed as honorable by other people. This is because people will be more apt to accept someone's idea if the persons viewed as honorable. It is in
that way that honor fits into Colin's dream. Other people may need to honor themselves or perform selfless acts in order to achieve their dreams, but
the one thing they all have in common is that honor plays a role in their American

25. The Eureka Phenomenon
According to the article, "The Eureka Phenomenon" by Isaac Asimov, there is a moment between the point of full relaxation and overthinking where
the mind produces examples and unseen ideas to foresee the solution. As a result, when the voluntary thoughts are replaced with the involuntary
thoughts, or the overthinking replaced with the relaxing, we can see hidden traits and ideas that were once impossible to discover. For example,
around 250 B.C., in a city of Syracuse, a king named Hieron 11 had been forged a crown, but was unable to determine whether many of the gold had
been replaced with copper or was pure substance. He then contacted the infamous and intelligent Archimedes to develop a solution to the problem.
However, when Hieron declared he do this without breaking the crown, Archimedes was left to discover a solution to a nearly impossible problem.
Nonetheless, by hoping to relieve some stress by taking a too–full bath, Archimedes realized that volume can be measured by water capacity.... Show

Breathing is a process that you normally do not thinking about, but can control over with intense thought. When you realize this, you start to become
aware of your respiratory actions, but then soon forget it. However, this state of mind seems to appear visibly every once in a while, making the case
extraordinarily rare. We, as people or scientists, do not know how often or how little this opportunity happens. In this case, we are given ideas that this
happens, but in many different time periods, and decades apart. How can we test this, or could possible involuntary action lead to this solution? We are
unable to know, but as thinkers and as logical–believers, we can only assume that there is a true idea of this, but no direct way of telling

28. Why Did Helen Keller A Game Changer
Helen Keller was a game changer. She helped shape people's opinions of what it means to be blind or deaf. The process of effecting change, no matter
how great the stakes, takes time, patience, perseverance, faith, and sometimes pixie dust. Although, it is in dark times we learn what is most important.
We often find our miracles, light bulbs, strength, Eureka's, and sometimes even ourselves in the darkest of times. A miracle might take some time to
come to light, but once it does it doesn't take long for us to notice. The water pump symbolizes the miracle that changed Helen's life; as well as, Annie's

In 1980 the Republican party elected the paragon of a conservative. Ronald Reagan provided the ideal rightism in America, capturing that belief during
throughout his presidency. Some on the left hold on to ideals of Reagan preventing the country from progressing to new grounds. Many Republicans
robustly claim that he is the greatest president ever. Regardless of political preferences, Ronald Reagan's two terms undeniably changed the world in

As president, Reagan worked to bring back American exceptionalism, boost the economy, and terminate Communism. A president who famously

Moments after his birth in that one room flat. His father gazed at his newborn and uttering the first thing in his head "Why, he looks like a fat

conversing politics. However, his tendency to drink costed him the comfort of stable job. This constant need for work forced the Reagans to
frequently move and humbled Ronald growing up in a very poor family. Despite hardships, Reagan graduated from Northside high school in Dixon,
Illinois and earned a football scholarship to attend Eureka College where the foundation for presidency was laid (Weisberg 31). During his freshman
year of university an opportunity arose in politics as Eureka was in the process of cutting classes to save money. Dutch decided to make a speech

30. Colin Singleton Character Analysis
Author's purpose John Green's main purpose in writing this novel was to say it's okay to not know who you are. Colin Singleton was seventeen and
panicking because he doesn't know who he is. He just got dumped his nineteenth Katherine and has fallen into a depression, Colin Singleton is nothing
but a brain without a Katherine by his side. Colin finds out that just because he's a former child prodigy, that doesn't mean he's going to be a genius in
his adult years to come. He has trouble accepting that because he wants to be remembered as someone important.
Major Characters To begin, at the start of thenovel Colin Singleton has dated nineteen girls named Katherine, because girls named 'Katherine' were
his "type". He has also been dumped by all of these Katherine's, except number three. Then, at the end of the novel he's dating a girl named 'Lindsey',
not Katherine. Which is probably his "eureka moment" that he's been looking for ever since he was a little boy. That's probably the biggest character
change in this book.
Major Theme The overall theme of the book is finding yourself and who you are. There are several small themes that are seen throughout the book, one
of those is love and another is being remembered. Colin makes it a priority to have a Katherine because without one, he doesn't know how to function
correctly. Without a Katherine he doesn't even know who he is. He starts having trouble finding himself after he gets dumped by Katherine number
nineteen.

The identity of Jesus
1 Corinthians 3:2 "I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it."
Understanding the true nature and identity of Jesus is a process, a journey, a lifelong commitment. It cannot be proclaimed "cold turkey" just straight
out of the blue.
Martin Kahler in a famous aphorism claimed that Mark is "a passion narrative with an extended introduction." However it is a necessary introduction.
It is the milk before the solid food. If Mark had began with Peter's declaration at chapter 8 it would ring hollow. The first eight chapters allow us to
see, as Peter saw, through Jesus' teaching, healing, exorcisms, and preaching that there was something much more than an amazing authoritative, divine

Have you ever cleaned out your closet and found many items you never knew you owned? That is the way English 101 felt to me. I learned important
skills and techniques that I will maintain even though the course is over. I will be constantly improving what I have learned–meaning I will work to
carry about my strengths and eliminate my remaining weaknesses. English 101 has helped me grow as a reader, a writer, and most importantly a person.
My writing has progressed during the term by becoming more specific and sophisticated on an analytic level. I have learned to closely observe
what I am reading or researching; this helping to improve the credibility in my writing. When the grades were passed back for the first minor
writing, I was highly dissatisfied with the grade I received. In high school, I always got excellent grades on my papers; making it hard for me to
accept the challenge that was now presented in front of me. After sitting down and figuring out my mistakes, I realized I was an extremely general
writer. I forgot to include multiple details that were necessary for the readers understanding–as it was difficult for me to analyze writing from another
perspective. My first minor writing paper was titled "A healthy Friendship" and it explained a paradigm shift that involved one of my current best

There are many times when one sits for long periods thinking and trying to find solutions to their issues, be it in mathematics, or in relationships, or
even in challenging games. Often, however, the answer to the question is found not by deliberately looking for the solution, but while doing leisurely
activities and seeing or hearing something that makes them realize the answer to their problem. Isaac Asimov goes into detail about this experience in
his essay "The Eureka Phenomenon" which can also be observed in the film Zootopia, directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore. Asimov takes on a
decidedly alternative method to solving problematic situations. In his essay, he is emphatic that thinking too hard for too long about our concerns will...

Hi all, I'm a dog, so I will talk about few examples of being naked in public from modern pop–culture. In the story "The emperor's new clothes", the
king walked out without any clothes at the end of the story in front of the public because two rascals sell an invisible suit of clothes that only smart
people can "see" to the king. Since the king and all the helpers around do not want to admit they are not "smart" enough to see the cloth, the king
walked out naked with his servants walked behind him with their hands raised to hold the imaginary mantle. I think this would be an example that a
