...Visual Arts and Film Studies June Script Adaptation The first scene may begin with the protagonist’s (Bridget) monologue. She is a young slim girl, who is not satisfied with her life.

...? Psychology Perceptual Adaptation Prism adaptation is described as a phenomenon that the motor system adapts new visuo-patial coordinates instituted by prisms that displace the actual visual fields. When the prisms are eliminated, the strength of the adaptation can be measured through spatial deviation of the motor actions in an opposite visual displacement developed by prisms, a process referred as aftereffect. This study was developed to identify the variables that have an effect on the acquisition and maintenance of the aftereffects. Subjects were expected to throw balls to a target situated in front of them before, during, and after the lateral displacement of the...

For each, the sensory system involved and how adaptation applies will be...

...1. One of the main ideas of the Theory of Strain consist that a principal cause of criminality is the contradiction between values, at achievement ofwhich a society directs people, and opportunities of their achievement with respect to rules established by this society.
This contradiction leads to that a person, who has not managed to receive the certain values following the rules, starts to deny the rules and aspires to receive the values at any cost. That is why people start to commit crimes.
2. Strain theory focuses on situations in which other individuals "punish" the juvenile. The second and third major types of strain deal with the two major types of...

...Case discussion- Ankle Sprain Introduction Ankle is a joint in the lower limb which is formed by fibula, tibia and talus. Its purpose is to facilitate dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of the foot. The medial bony prominence of the ankle is called the medial malleolus and is formed by the tibia while the lateral malleolus is formed by the fibula. The joint’s stability is maintained by various ligaments and the arrangement of the bones. The ligaments on the lateral side of the ankle are anterior talo-fibular ligament, calcaneo-fibular ligament and the posterior talo-fibular ligament. The ligament on the medial side is the deltoid ligament (actually a ligament complex). Instability to the joint occurs whenever there is a fracture... discussion-...

...seeks to examine certain acts of deviancy that results into criminal behaviors in society. Merton notes that society always emphasizes the achievement of certain goals such as education and hard work and also emphasizes the means to fulfill such goals.

In his theory, Merton highlights five modes of adapting to strain which is caused by limitation to socially accepted goals and means. He noted that restricted access to society’s goals did not ultimately result to individuals becoming deviant but the modes of...

...that are devised to explain a group of facts. It emphasizes proof of ideas behind principles that have repeatedly been tested and widely accepted as responsible for a given phenomenon. In regard to strain theory, it explains the factors that push an individual to develop criminal behavior in the society (Agnew, 2006). Although each man is born free, the emerging character is shaped by many external environment factors and this serves even crime mind development.
