Aztecs & Religious Violence Introduction The Aztecs, also known as The Mexica, were an ancient civilization that occupied the Mesoamerica region. Their reign and eventual dominance lasted between the 14th and 16th centuries. Warfare formed an essential aspect of this group. It led them to conquer most of the land they owned. The Aztecs controlled their vast empire through military might and forcing conquered territories to pay tribute (Hicks and Carrasco). The Aztec religion was a rather complex interaction of gods, directions, dates, and sometimes colors. Although they worshipped dozens of gods, “Huitzilopochtli,” the god of war and sun, and Tlaloc (the god of rain) were their primary deities. Their preoccupation with religion was mostly informed by the fear of nature’s destruction and that of the world coming to an end. The Aztecs believed that they lived in “the epoch of the fifth sun,” and at any moment, the world would come to a violent end. Therefore, to avoid the incoming destruction, they had to appease the gods by offering human sacrifices. So, men, mainly, had an obligation to…

Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date Pseudomonas Isolation and Identification Abstract             The ability to isolate an organism from a pure culture from the environment is a task that is manageable. To carry out the isolation and identification, integration of both genotypic and phenotypic data, the challenges can be illustrated from the contemporary bacterial taxonomy. The isolation, and strain required to be able to find about Pseudomonas from the soil, allows the characterization of the biochemical and physiological properties; this will enable the determination of the DNA sequence of its 16S rRNA genes. The assessment data demonstrate both the knowledge and confidence in the principle understanding of the handling of the Pseudomonas and bacterial taxonomy in the laboratory from this experience. Introduction             Soil, as identified, has a particular number, and diversity from the microbes thought the constitutes from a productive yet easily accessible, and safe resources safe from the isolated bacteria. Pseudomonas species are ubiquitous in the soil; some have been recognized as plant pathogens. Some plants also emerge from the associated growth from the promoters as potential roles…

Section 1: Classroom Arrangement The seating area in my classroom is arranged to reflect my teaching style, which is learner-centered to support teaching objectives. The learner-centered method focuses on the student and allows students to have group work and discussion and even interactions with one another. The teacher can sometimes present content to the class to guide them. The interaction that students have is in small groups to enable the teacher to control the class and still achieve success in pedagogy.   Classroom Layout     Figure 1: Classroom Layout     My class layout looks like Figure 1 above, where the students are in clusters of four, while the teacher is at the front of the class. This method is learner-centered and allows the students to interact with each other. Through this, they can develop skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. This layout gives the student a safe environment for them to share ideas. It is suitable, especially for small classrooms. However, the layout can increase the noise level and cause distractions (Kaya & Burgess, 2007). It is also…

Presently, these agencies are encountering problems, including terrorist attacks, organized crime, and gang violence. As such, a new form of policing has shifted to more advanced levels called intelligence-led policing. To pile more pressure on the complexity of crimes, terror organizations are continuously advocating for lone-wolf terrorists…

This style of dancing expresses the inner feeling of the dancer through the movements made. It encourages the participators to use their feelings and emotions according to the music to come up with the movement styles.  It is very usual nowadays for dancers to invent new styles of dancing instead of using a structured code. Modern dance opposes ballet as it is the definite use of gravity. Contemporary dancers usually, use the weight of their body for more natural movement and opt for deliberate floor falls. In my opinion, modern dance allows dancers to enjoy their style without concern about the turnout and technique. Recently, in many dancing competitions, dancers are judged according to their modern dancing capability and how their feelings get along with the styles they are using. I like watching modern dances, which at times it is emotional and especially when the dancers try to convey grief. Most dancers, before taking the activity, decide…
