Matter is defined as anything that occupies space and can be perceived by one or more senses; a physical body, a physical substance, or the universe as a whole. There are four distinct states of matter: solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. There are other states of matter such as Bose-Einstein condesates and neutron degenerate matter, but those states can only be found under extreme conditions. These phases can go from one to another when affected by certain things, which is known as phase changes
Traditionally in school we are taught that there are only four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Fortunately this is not true as that would be boring. There are also at least 4 other-less common states and Icontest a fifth. These are Bose-Einstein condensate, photonic molecules, quark-gluon plasma, superconductors, and superfluids. They all have unique properties that clearly distinguish differences between them and the traditional four states. These breakthroughs could help us in the future and
The Fourth State of Matter Loss can leave us with the feeling that we are no longer in control of our lives, a strong feeling of instability.

Victor begins to change. By only using the chapter which Elizabeths dies, it can be proved that the accumulation of other deaths and her death lead to the dehumanization of Frankensteins mental and physical states as well as his obsession with the monster. This dehumanization and change in Victor matters because it shows the growing connection between Victor and the monster he is chasing. The dehumanization that Victor experiences, is described in a specific way, using the Oxford English Dictionary definition
extreme environments they are presented with. Thus, resulting in comparisons between their mental states (internal challenges), and contrasts between their physical states (external challenges) by Louie Zamperini and Piscine Molitor Patel (Pi). To inaugurate, it is lucid that Louie from Unbroken and Pi from Life of Pi share reflecting qualities in their mental state. For example, in the text Unbroken, it states,”His vibrant body had shrunken until only the bones remained, draped in yellow skin, crawling
Race and ethnicity is a main factor in the way we identify others and ourselves. The real question here is does race/ethnicity still matter in the U.S.? For some groups race is not a factor that affects them greatly and for others it is a constant occurrence in their mind. But how do people of mix race reacts to this concept, do they feel greatly affected by their race? This is the question we will answer throughout the paper. I will first examine the battle of interracial relationship throughout
Our society likes to believe that racism has been exterminated in the United States. It’s something that I want to believe as well. Unfortunately, racism is alive and well in our country; it may not be as mainstream as it was a few decades ago, but it’s still there. Racism can be camouflaged with politics, which is where it is most potent in the United States today. The trashing of the BLM movement, the anti-immigration administration that is now in power, and the paranoia surrounding refugees from
she knows it is not true” is a matter that comes under the states’ own constitutions and the law procedure for this slander differs from state to state. Every state has its own discretion as to what is libel or slander, and therefore, every state has its own jurisdiction in the matter. Some states keep both the libels and slanders under the same law books and prosecute according to the criminal law. However, some states have altogether different laws for the two matters and perform its jurisdiction
The Black Lives Matter movement wants this dream to come true, but there is a lot of controversy surrounding this movement and whether or not it is actually doing any good for the United States.

are subject matter and personal jurisdictions. Subject matter jurisdiction is said to be the court’s power to determine a case depending on the cause and the subject of dispute. On the other hand, personal jurisdiction is the power of a court to look into a case based on the people involved and make a decision binding the two parties together (Klerman, 2014).

Aristotle defined nature “as an internal origin of change or stability”1. Natural substances are things such as animals, plants and inanimate matter like earth, water, fire and air. Each natural substance according to Aristotle has its own nature, which is what gives rise to its natural behaviour/characteristic. The nature of a natural substance is its inner principle/source of change.2 Therefore natural substances are capable of motion i.e. growing, gaining qualities, losing them and lastly being
Why do Black Lives Matter as Opposed to All Lives Matter? When a person thinks about Black Lives Matter, he or she may visualize African Americans fighting for justice and equality. The movement Black Lives Matter was created to bring awareness to systematic racism, police brutality and social injustice that African Americans face on a daily basis.

As you may or may not know, there’s a heated battle going on in the United States and has been going on for many months now. The battle is between the two sayings “Black Lives Matter” and “All Lives Matter”. The two statements clash for many different reasons and the few articles I use focus on their important arguments against one another. The statement “Black Lives Matter” has greatly evolved within the last year. If you support this side, you believe these words correlate with the unneeded and

Other people claim that All Lives Matter is fair because the movement is concerned for equal treatment of all americans regardless
One of the most prominent grassroots movements currently at work in the United States is, undoubtedly, the Black Lives Matter movement. A multifaceted reform movement, it tackles the issue of institutionalized racism against black people in the United States. The movement began as a hashtag on Twitter in 2013 in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Treyvon Martin case. Zimmerman shot Martin to death, claiming it was in self defense as he felt the young man looked threatening because
theory of mind and behaviorism. Functionalism is a theory about the nature of mental states. According to functionalists, mental states are identified by what they do rather than by what they are made of. Functionalism is the most familiar or “received” view among philosophers of mind and cognitive science. Functionalism is the doctrine that what makes something a thought, desire, pain (or any other type of mental state) depends not on its internal constitution, but solely on its function, or the role
