Social Transmission and Culture In 2001‚ Russell and Whitehead published an article claiming that Humpback whales did in fact have a culture. The explanation or definition of culture they used in their study was the following: the for a specie to have culture‚ there must be variation on the behavior of groups within the specie.

BETWEEN APPEARANCE AND REALITY Bertrand Russell once asked‚ “Is there any knowledge in the world which is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it?” (Cahn‚ 2012) In his own method‚ he believed this to be false; after all‚ everyone perceives the world differently than the person next to them.

In this paper‚ Russell’s theory is compared to those of René Descartes and

The book The Island at the Center of the World by Russell Shorto was very interesting and gave me a different view on history. I felt the story that was told was very intriguing but it did get confusing at times. There were parts in the book where he would discuss an important person like Adriaen Van der Donck for example in one chapter then he would jump to a new person in the next chapter and then Van der Donck would be mentioned again two chapters later. This was hard to follow because he would

Russell stated that 53% of children age 13 are unsatisfied with their bodies and by age 17 it had increased to 78% (Russell). It’s sad to think by the age of thirteen girls are thinking about their figures and are unhappy with how they look. the focus of this paper will be on how media can crucially effect the body
