Including scientific research done on the topic and taking the results of previously conducted studies in her article, Elizabeth Svoboda supports her claim that true happiness is love based on scent from her piece titled Scents and Sensibility. Svoboda quotes Rachel Herz, an author of The Scent of Desire, and Randy Thornhill, and evolutionary psychologist at the University of New Mexico to emphasize her stance. Svoboda quotes: “’I’ve always been into smell, but this was different; he really smelled good to me,’” from Herz as an example the claim supported in the environment. The quote: “’But the scent capability is there, and it’s not surprising to find smell capacity in the context on sexual behavior,’” (Thornhill) applies factual evidence
The girls’ junior varsity lacrosse team is composed up of younger athletes that will one day take the reins from their fellow upperclassmen varsity members.
Earl Rochester’s argument is to make drinking a privilege to say, with a drinking license. This will require a “drinker’s ed class,” because it's just like driver’s ed, you have to read a manual and then take a written test what will be next a drinking portion to see if you can handle this “privilege.” I strongly disagree with Mr. Rochester not because I believe in underage drinking or alcoholism but because of the mere fact that this drinking license will not help since no matter what obstacles adolescents and alcoholics will find a way to get their hands on alcohol.
While selling housing contracts to poor black homeowners was extremely profitable for lenders, it was also an unethical and economically devastating practice. Beryl Satter says “It was like people who like to go out and shoot lions in Africa. It was like same thrill” (gtd. in Coates). Lenders became rich by thrilling and making blacks struggle in an unethical world. Cosates says a man called Lou Fushanis owned more than 600 properties and his estate that worth about $3 million. These were all made by killing blacks, because “The kill was profitable” (Coates).

Briefly this essay explains and describe in a scientific way how people's stimulation of the body works when you're falling in love.

The tingly feeling inside your body is a result of a scientific delineation which makes the concept of love more concretely and more factually mainly for researchers and the wide...
The 1920's was a time when cultural and social changes began to take place in the history of the United States. People began to grow in prosperity, change the rules when it came to morals and manners, and the cultural civil war of individual rights. This is the time when women are fighting for their rights to be equal in comparison to their white male counterparts. During this period women are realizing their impact on how society functions and the roles they play. This was the beginning of the true feminists’ mission. After “August 23, the day when the Tennessee legislature finally enacted the Federal suffrage amendment" (Eastman,
Educational budget cuts are hitting children’s passions in a negative way. School, teachers, and extra activities are a safe place for some children. Lynda Barry is showing how school can be a safe place for children, like it was for her. School and teachers can save children from their negative home life. In Barry’s essay she shows how school was her safe place, and how educational budget cuts are bad. Lynda Barry’s position that educational budget cuts are bad is correct, because for some children school and teachers the only safe place they have, extra school activities can help keep troubled children off the streets, and educational budget cuts may take a child’s passion away such as music, arts, sports, and so on.

Pheromones are natural scents, which play an important role in sexual communication. Animals and humans release masses of biological chemicals in tears, saliva and perspiration. These aromas convey signals relating to mood, status, drive and health to the subconscious awareness of the female. The dominant male will exude more of these biological attractants than his submissive counterpart, consequently he inevitably attracts more females and enjoys more conquests. This philosophy holds well in the animal world, pheromones are consciously detected over considerable distances and serve at times in place of spoken communication. They help animals mark territory, recognize mates, and signal sexual interest. For example, female dogs in heat leave their pheromone and can attract male dogs over a mile away (5).
Tan includes a direct quote from her mother in paragraph six of the reading, and she does not shorten it for an important reason. Tan decides to keep the entire quote instead of paraphrasing to add an effect that a reader can only understand with the full quote. It shows that even though some people speak the language of English it is hard for others to understand based on the person’s full understanding and comprehension of the language. In Tan’s case she is used to the way her mother speaks and uses the language, but to others it is almost impossible to understand. If it were not for Tan summarizing what the quote meant before putting it in the text, few readers would have understood what the mother was trying to convey with her use of the language. Tan’s strategy in including this direct quotation is to show that language differs from person to person even if they all speak the same language. She is implying that the whole world could speak English; however, it would not be the same type of English because of how everyone learns and how others around
Some blacks remained stuck in cycles of poverty, yet enough had begun to hold influence in the 1890’s to give hope to those stuck in less desirable situations. In his 1893 open letter to blacks in North Carolina, Congressman George White advocated for the state’s presence at the National Colored Convention, wanting blacks from each county to have a say in the direction of their race. White was one of the most popular Black leaders in North Carolina and the United States and his call for progress represents the sense of empowerment felt by blacks. White was immensely popular among blacks and the Democratic leaders would slander him throughout the late 1890s. They used White as an example of a black leader who they believed had no business serving in congress. While it is true some blacks across the state and many in Wilmington did enjoy renewed opportunities, these were certainly not being handed to them. People like Charles Pettey had to walk almost 100 miles to a major city, in this case Charlotte, just to attempt to receive an education. Even with the odds against them and whites controlling the majority of the city and state, finding success was far from impossible.
In Lynda Barry’s Common Scents, she considers scents a demon for many reasons. One reason being that everyone has his or her own scent preference and scent in general, yet we also judge the way that other people smell. When the woman whose house smelled like a fresh bus bathroom talking about the smells of different Asian people’s houses, Lynda notes that she was “free with her observations about the smells of others” (18). She sprays her house with disinfectant sprays and air fresheners, which to her smells better that whatever her house smelt like before, but to others, such as Lynda’s grandmother, these smells are too strong and are trying to hide the fact that not everything smells good all the time.
When Divakaruni moved to the United States, tried to abandon the smells of her childhood in favor of acculturation. She realized this is a mistake when she has a child of her own. She eventually comes to appreciate the smells’ abilities to comfort, give joy, and motivate. One smell in particular she told about is how the smell of iodine reminded her that “love sometimes hurts while it’s doing its job.” In rearing her own offspring, she intentionally tried to replicate the “smell technique” with her own twist in hopes that her children reap similar benefits. One example is how she filled the house with the aroma of spices and sang American and Indian tunes with her
From laundry detergent to perfume, room sprays to breath mints, everything now has a chemically produced scent to disguise the natural; modern culture has declared the embarrassment linked with body odor. On a night out or at a first date, men and women are both spritzing cologne and perfume and popping in chewing gum in an effort to smell pleasant and non-verbally communicate a message to the other. They are attempting to present themselves in a way they believe will appeal to the other and enhance the relationship. However, this very act proves that odors have the capability to affect our mood, perception, and
Scent within the novel Perfume by Patrick Suskind has been regarded as a supernatural element that transcends the physical realm and into the spiritual. In 18th Century France, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with the supernatural ability to smell, while lacking his own individual odour. The power of scent is revealed to have manipulative qualities that shape the way an individual perceives someone based off odour. Suskind uses the characters of Grenouille and Madame Gaillard to convey the effect that scent has on the emotional spirituality of humans as both have a disability with their olfactory sense. Grenouille utilises the power of scent to create his own perfume which emphasizes scent possessing qualities beyond the natural world.
