  Rope around The Earth: Wrap a thread tightly around the earth (along the equator). Now add an extra 2 meters of thread to this length and then wrap the new thread again around the earth in the same circular path (i.e. along the equator).                                                             (Image: Binding rope around the Earth) Now, how high do you think will the thread rise above from the ground ?(Or in other words, what will be the new radius corresponding to this new circumference?) Well, practically one might think that an addition of 2 meter won't make any difference since its too small compared to the size of the earth (which is ~6371000 meters in radius!). And even if it does, the difference will be so small (may be in millimeters or so) that it can easily be neglected? Well, le...

  The word "cognition" is defined as "the act of knowing" or "knowledge." Cognitive skills therefore refer to those skills that make it possible for us to know. It should be noted that there is nothing that any human being knows, or can do, that he has not learned. This of course excludes natural body functions, such as breathing, as well as the reflexes, for example the involuntary closing of the eye when an object approaches it. But apart from that a human being knows nothing, or cannot do anything, that he has not learned. Therefore, all cognitive skills must be TAUGHT, of which the following cognitive skills are the most important: CONCENTRATION Paying attention must be distinguished from concentration. Paying attention is a body function, and therefore does not need to be taught. However, paying attention as such is a function that is quite useless for the act of learning, because it is only a fleeting occurrence. Attention usually shifts very quickly...

 In the free evening you sit comfortably in your armchair and read an exciting book. Suddenly the clock strikes ten and you listen carefully to every strike of it. It seems like these are the last seconds of your life passing by and a strange feeling appears deep down in your gutter, but you are not able to define what is it. The feeling appears when you think of death. So, what is the truth? What do you feel to that moment that is going to come eventually? Many researches have been done in psychology to define the most common feeling towards death. According to the majority of the scholars, it is fear. Only in one term paper outline of a student there was another feeling mentioned. It was indifference. We can determine what the feeling depends on. Certainly, it depends on a personality and his/her outlook. Those who haven’t accomplished everything that was planned think that they should live until they do what they were destined to in this life. People are afraid of death when the...
