Properties of Sensory Perception
Within the realm of Gestalt theory, the concept of attention is differentiated from that of perception. Attention is the cognitive ability of the human brain to simultaneously focus on a variety of subjects, while continually adjusting the intensity of that focus in response to external factors. A total of four techniques have been identified by Gestalt theory to exert an impact on one's attention: intensity, novelty, incongruity, emotion. In the example above, the speaker could utilize the intensity technique to keep my attention by intermittently punctuating his or her speech with loud exclamations or the clapping of hands. The novelty technique could be invoked when the speaker uses clever and unique turns of phrase, or through the originality of their message. Gestalt's incongruity technique might be employed to keep my attention when the speaker presents stark contrasts in terms or comparisons between differing issues. Finally, the emotion technique of capturing and maintaining attention is exploited through the use of abstractions and sentimental appeals. The speaker may consider using emotionally charged words such as love and hate to arouse a cognitive response in their audience. The Sensorimotor Stage, which extends from birth to the acquisition of language, is defined by the development of habits and the ability to use primitive symbols. An infant may observe his or her parents praying or reading the Bible, and begin to associate these activities with normalcy. Within the Preoperational Stage, the combination of emerging preoperatory and intuitive thought with symbolic function would serve to reinforce developing notions of faith. Entering the Concrete Operational Stage, the brain's ability to employ seriation, transitivity, decentering and other organizational processes would result in a logical examination of one's personal beliefs. Within the Formal Operational Stage, the cognitive function now fully realized, one would be capable of utilizing both logic and faith to properly assess their beliefs in God. A belief borne of this final stage is optimal because there are no decencies in its basis; all angles of the argument have been considered and faith has emerged as the most logical option.

Life After Death: Afterlife Within the Realm of Ancient Greek Beliefs The question as to what happens after death is not fathomable within human reason. As such, it remains one of the biggest mysteries of life. The belief in life after death is what keeps the hopes of the human race intact even in the face of the tragedy of death. The concept 'afterlife' appears absurd in light of rational thought
The object still exists as well, even if it only perceived inaccurately by the material world and by the sensations Mathematical proofs and mathematical calibrations are accurate, when correctly done, according to Descartes, because they can be proven by logic that the existence of such things exist with tools outside of the body. But although Descartes' Christian world of a non-deceitful god may have been persuasive to his readers, a

Behaviorism in the 20th Century System of Psychology Behaviorism The purpose of this work is to provide an outline of Behaviorism, which, is a major system of psychology in the 20th Century. Further the work will provide a substantive treatment of the supportive and critical perspectives associated with the system. Finally this work will include the applications of dualistic activity vs. monistic passivity, source of knowledge: self-generative vs. sensory and mentalism vs.
Consumer Web Site Design: Purchase Intentions and Loyalty in a Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Internet Commerce Environment RHETORICAL DISSERTATION Electronic commerce has experienced the meteoric rise and subsequent crash of any behemoth entity cast aloft without moorings or foundation.

Many experts in the field of e-commerce have suggested remedial
Literature Review 1. The dilemma of Obesity Mokdad et al., (1999) in his study found that the issue of unhealthy weight, overweight and obesity are perhaps one of the rising concerns for the Americans in the 21st century as more and more U.S. citizens become vulnerable to the circumstantial risks and dangers of the phenomenon (Mokdad et al., 1999). It is usually the body mass indexes (BMI) that indicate whether a person
