Extroverts, men, and adults tend to lie more than introverts, women, and children respectively. Lies are often undetected. Body language signs of lying include increased hand-to-face touching, stiffer posture, thinner lips, broken eye contact, and changes in speech patterns such as delays in answering or inconsistencies. Younger children may avoid eye contact or speak softly when lying, while school-aged children may stutter or have disorganized speech. Adults try to avoid answering directly or pause to collect themselves. Examining paralinguistic cues can provide clues to deception across age groups.
Most lies were told for selfish reasons, such as covering up a personal transgression or gaining an economic advantage. Lies were also told to protect the feelings of others and to maintain social politeness. Overall, it seems that lies occur when the truth poses an obstacle that someone wants to overcome.

Mobile Tech: Cellular Stranger Danger
It’s probably safe to say that most people can be accused of, more often than not, peering down towards their mobile phones fairly often throughout the day; to check for emails or status updates or simply, just pass the time. It would be an unusual sight to be practically anywhere, and not see someone looking down toward a mobile device. Not surprisingly, “[t]he average American spends nearly half a day staring at a screen;” nearly eleven hours each day is spent consuming media; astonishingly, this number was calculated on media usage only and didn’t include time spent texting or taking pictures (Howard). Perhaps one could admit, through the constant use of mobile devices, complacency is becoming the new norm. Personal contact, good listening skills and our physical/mental health are all affected by the incessant need to stay updated and connected.
In the 1800's, a railroad construction worker by the name of Phineas Gage, permanently damaged the left half of his brain, the frontal lobe, when a large iron rod pierced through his cheek and out of his skull: "Gage not only survived the incident but also apparently never fully lost consciousness" (Guidotti). Before the accident he was known as being "reliable, systematic, and hardworking;" after the incident and the damage to his frontal lobe, Gage became "impulsive" and neurotic in his behavior (Guidotti). At the time, physicians didn't realize that the frontal lobe is the area of the brain that is "responsible for decoding and comprehending social interactions;" it is through this area of the brain that we learn how to read numerous facial cues and personal flair that one exhibits when interacting with others (Margalit). In the early 1900's a psychosurgical procedure called the prefrontal lobotomy was first performed on humans. This "surgical operation separat[ed] the frontal brain lobes from the thalamus to relieve extreme anxiety" and was proclaimed a miracle cure for those suffering from mental disease (Shaffer). Some fifty years later the lobotomy became unpopular because "the operation caused mental deterioration" and would eventually be replaced with chemical versions of treatment; i.e., antipsychotic drugs, tranquilizers (Shaffer). Over time, scientist have begun to realize that when replacing real-life contact with symbols and text through a screen, the capabilities of the brains frontal lobe lose effectiveness; empathetic abilities dwindle and engaged interactions with real people become more and more difficult. Some addicted tech users have issues with depression and anxiety when having to interact with a real human being; through constant engagement with a screen and habitually less real-world interactions and relationships, we are losing our abilities to care, to understand, to feel emotion.

Father is to Son
A young boy has blue eyes, brown hair, and sculpted cheek bones, look at him compared
to his parents and notice that he has blue eyes just like his mother and his hair and cheek bones
resemble that of his father; certain traits have always been inherited. The genetics of the parents
affect a child’s IQ. “…multivariate genetic research reviewed above indicates that intelligence is
the level at which genes affect cognitive abilities,” (Plomin & Spinath, 2004, p. 120). IQ is no
exception to genetics.
Nature’s influence
In the article, Older Dads Have Geeky Sons from the CNN website, we learn that a study
was recently conducted on the matter of older fathers having geeky sons. This is a matter of
genetics playing a part in IQ. The article mentions something about older dads having more
geeky sons because they tend to stay in education longer-- George Clooney, 55 years old, is
about to have a set of twins (Emanuel, 2017). Will his children be bestowed with high
intelligence? “…overall genetics plays a bigger role than does environment in creating IQ. . . the
correlations between the IQs of parents and their biological children is significantly greater than
the correlation between parents and adopted children,” (Saylor, 2017, p. 9.1). Of course, there
are other factors that have a role with intelligence, genetics is simply more predominant.
Conclusion
While genetics isn’t the only factor in a person’s IQ, it obviously plays a major role.
Think of yourself compared to your parents, or even your grandparents and see if you can find
similarities aside from your physical traits.

Self-understanding in Childhood
If I were to ask you to describe yourself, you would most likely begin telling me how you
see yourself, describing your personality and behaviors. If you ask a child that same question, he
will often begin to describe the more obvious traits about himself, “I’m a boy. I am 7 years old
and I have brown hair,” he might say. What causes that change of self-perception from childhood
to adulthood? It is the influences of the media, people, and things around us that change our
perception, not to mention just general maturing.
Development During Childhood
The CNN article, What Media Teach Kids About Gender Can Have Lasting Effects, gives
a perfect example of how the media influences us—specifically as children. Preschoolers will see
characters on TV and in movies: manly, muscular superheroes and beautiful, but frail princesses
(Knorr, 2017). Suddenly, a child associates her gender with that specific stereotype; she wants to
be a beautiful princess and begins to act weak and incapable of doing things on her own based on
this character. “By the end of toddlerhood, children begin to construct cognitive representations
of the self…” ( ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
