SAPPHIC FRAGMENTS The poem is about love, where Sappho is genuinely in love with a maiden. She misses the young Median very profoundly as she expresses her feelings and love for her. Sappho describes the features of the Median in a very emotional and erotic way when she says that ‘Beat your breasts, young maidens. And tear your garments in grief.” The poem also gives us the various fantasies people usually create when they are in love, for instance, Sappho claims that ‘As wind in the mountains assaults an oak, Love shook my breast.’ Love is a universal thing; everyone at one point in their lives falls in love not only with people alone but also an otherworldly thing. Sappho, under this poem, clearly shows the gayish character that is slowly taking over the world. She clearly expresses her love to another young woman and even suggesting that she would wish to marry her. Marry a younger woman. I don’t dare to live with a young man. The current society is slowly embracing the same-gender marriages and relationships, although some…

The Best Guideline to Solving Cartesian Equations If you are a college student pursuing mathematics, one of the common assignments will be dealing with Cartesian equations. The mere mention of the term “Cartesian equation” elicits anxiety among students, especially when they have a poor understanding of the fundamental theories. You no longer have to worry about Cartesian equations after reading this guide. What is a Cartesian Equation? The concept of the Cartesian equation was discovered by Rene Descartes, one of the greatest mathematicians of the 17th century. The discovery revolutionized the world of mathematics for offering the first link between Euclidean geometry and algebra. The Cartesian coordinate system helps to establish any point in a plane using two main points, the X and Y coordinates. In order to define these points, you should draw two perpendicular lines and name them, as shown below:   How to Convert Polar Equation to Cartesian When students are faced with the assignments of solving polar equations, they see them as severe challenges. To make your work easy, check the equation below that summarizes Cartesian…

Temporal vs Spatial Summation Summation means adding things together. In the nervous system operations, summation refers to the adding up the effects of several stimuli with that individually are sub-threshold. The effect is the sub-threshold reaching supra-threshold to generate the anticipated response. In this post, we are going to look at the two main summations; temporal vs spatial summation. A Brief Overview of Summation To get the best summation definition, we will take a few steps back to understand how it works. At the close of the 20th century, a serious debate on whether the synaptic transmission was chemical or electrical. One school of thought argued that signaling took place through the actual flow of ions from one neuron to another. Another group thought that signaling took place on the release of chemicals from one neuron to another resulting in response in the receiving neurons. The truth is that synaptic transmission can be electrical and chemical. However, the chemical transmission is more common. Neurotransmitters in the body are generated from the ends of presynaptic neuron, and can be categorized into…

 reasons to be compassion I agree that one of the reasons to be compassion is that it helps us achieve happiness. Dalai says that compassion is the ultimate source of success which shows how important compassion is to the life of an individual if they wanted to be successful. I concur with Dalai when he says it is vital for us to be compassionate to others since it is a way of expressing our love to them. He says that several children are raised in sad homes, which affects their lives later. If most of them are not shown love and affection, they end up hating their parents or even find it difficult to show others love which is an unhappy happening. A sick patient attended to by a warm-hearted doctor, on the other hand, is usually at ease due to the human feeling they receive from the physician. What adverse impacts are associated with failing to show love and compassionate to people? Dalai also emphasizes on the fact that experiences lead us to develop compassion for others. When we…

Let Your Students Help You Become a Better Teacher Nobody is perfect. That is why we all make mistakes, almost every other time, but still find a way to correct ourselves. As a teacher, it is even more difficult to become perfect in front of your students. Well, you may be the ideal teacher for some, yet to others, you may be the worst tutor they have come across in their lifetime. In a classroom of thirty students, you are likely to get students whose learning styles suit your teaching methods and vice versa. The same class will also have students whose study habits do not conform to your teaching methods. It is therefore understandable that in such a class, there will always be differences in opinion and misunderstandings. Being a better teacher means listening to the views of your students and using them to prepare for your teaching. As a Teacher, Motivate Your Students You will likely meet students who are actually from different backgrounds. It, therefore, means their traits, concentration in class, and even motivation levels will not…

I understand Latin Question (a) People are incorrigible or uncorrectable about the proposition ‘I understand Latin. Thinking is an important concept of the principle of incorrigibility. Our mental consciousness influences our desires, our thinking, hopes, fears, and beliefs. To say I understand Latin shows the function of the mind, thinking about the knowledge one has about Latin. Before believing in certain statements, our mental strength is consulted first. In this case, understanding is a function of the mind, and this shows how important in determining what we believe in. This proposition meets incorrigibility requirements, which are sincerity and truth. A statement should be sincerely made for it to true, and if a statement is true should be believed. The proposition I understand Latin shows conscious thinking, which helps to build its truth. Descartes said, ‘I think’ and ‘I am,’ and to explain this, if I think of my understanding of Latin, I will have the knowledge, and this explains why it will be difficult to change people’s belief on this statement. ( Field, 1993). Question (b) People may be correctable…
