African Belief System               Abstract:     Scholars have misunderstood the concept of God and spirits in the African traditional religion. Many of the scholars saw Africans as people who did not have an idea of the Supreme Being, nor did them worship him (Awolalu, 1976).  However, the paper shows that the concept of God is not new to Africans, but in traditional beliefs, it is no atheist. Most of the factors have led to this disagreement, such as the preconception by western scholars who measured the conventional view with Christianity. Lack of a precise study of African religion also led to a swift conclusion.     The foundation, evangelization and most of the missionary activities of both Christian and Islam in many of the African countries resulted in the conversion of the indigenous people. Most of these people were from the African Traditional religion and converted to the two mission religions. Many of the religious beliefs and practices (immigrant religions) have an impact on the religious and cultural life of the traditional communities. Also, many of the indigenous religious beliefs and…

 feature integration theory Abstract Anne Treisman and Garry Gelade developed a theory called the feature integration theory that tested the attention in reaction time in simple and conjunction feature. Simple feature required one feature and conjunction feature required two features to determine the target. The participants were psychology students at the University of Bradford. The experiment was conducted by taking repeated measures and within-subject design. The results show that conjunction required more reaction time, the distractors are more complicated, and they need more attention for determining the target. Introduction Visual search is the ability to observe the external environment using our eyes and sensory aspects, which allow us to move, read, see and other skills that make our life easier. Another meaning for visual search is the observation of the optical system that uses attentional methods to target something in a word full of other items.

Visual search is pursued by visual perception which is the sensory system that receives the…

effective advertising influence on teens We all have been teenagers at some point in our lives, doing inappropriate things in public, playing a video game for ten hours, going out with friends until three am. And of course, wanting the most expensive gadgets such as the latest smartphone, popular shoes, and fashionable clothing. If you’re wondering how and why teens want to buy certain items, well, it’s all thanks to effective advertising.   In today’s world, teens are, unfortunately, too concerned about the importance of buying a specific brand’s clothing. For example, the brand “Supreme” gained popularity not because they spend millions upon millions of dollars on advertising. They gained popularity because of the uniqueness that the brand has to a worldwide audience. When this brand became popular, teens would buy any item associated with this brand, even if it meant buying a useless brick. The main reason teens purchase these ridiculous high-cost products; it’s to then later brag about “how cool they are” on social media by posting pictures or lengthy writing notes, so then they’ll gain attraction to…
