Communication is a very important skill to have, as well as how you are communicating. There are different forms of communication. Communication can be through written text, orally, or non-verbal communication. Which form of communication that you use should be chosen based on who your audience is. For instance, you would not want to write a document for a small child that may or may not be able to read up to a certain level. The best form of communication for this audience would probably be visually since a child’s verbal skills are probably not all the way developed.     How you visually appeal to the audience is key in getting the message across and understood. If you are informing an individual of new information about their skeletal bones, a visual media such as an informative video would probably be the best option for your audience. The purpose of a visual media is to better demonstrate or display how something works. For example, the “Bone Remodeling and Modeling” vide...

                 There is much room for debate about what sport is the oldest. Wrestling is most commonly known as the oldest sport, however so is running. Both sports come in a variety of styles and are still common in modern day sports. Evidence for both wrestling and running being among the oldest sports have been found in cave paintings in Lascaux, France. These paintings on the walls date back to almost 15,300 years ago, therefore it is hard to pinpoint exactly when running and wrestling developed as sports.               Running is the most accessible sport because it requires no equipment. This is also a reason that some believe running to be the first sport. A foot race was the first ever event to take place in the first ever Olympics in 776 BCE. Running has evolved into different sports, such as: Javelin thrown, polo, hockey, etc. Running is still popular in modern...

  There is quite some controversy and debate about whether or not Thomas Edison should receive credit for the invention of the light bulb. Although Edison may not have come up with the idea of the light bulb himself, he should still receive his credit for successfully creating the light bulb. The idea of the light bulb was around for some time before Edison’s creation. As mentioned in Ripley’s article, there were already about 20 inventors across the world with various drafts of the light bulb. It is also mentioned that there were various different forms in which the light bulb was drafted, which tells me that Edison did not copycat someone’s invention. Edison seen a problem and found a solution and therefore should be given his credit. Edison envisioned lighting up a whole city, and in order to do so he created a research team. Edison understood that in order to make his vision possible he would be more efficient with the help of a team. Not only did he need a team, but Edison k...

George Edwin Taylor became the first African American man in America to run for president in 1904. Kamala Harris has become the first African American woman to run for vice president, alongside Joe Biden. Being the first to do something can be a tough position to fulfill. Off the bat because you are the first to do something and since nobody has seen it done before, people are ultimately going to doubt you. That is the biggest obstacle that these two candidates had to or have to overcome. Taylor was taken for a joke when he decided to run for president. The white men did not think he had the same capabilities as them because he was a black man. Harris is now experiencing this same treatment but with way much more pressure than Taylor faced. Harris has to push so much harder just to prove to people that she is capable of being Vice President. Harris is not only proving herself because she is African American, but also because she is a woman. Women had to fight for their rights in politi...
