Humanities IV 5/5/14 Life Albert Camus once said that “You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life” (Camus). Albert Camus won the Nobel Prize and whose views contributed to the rise of absurdism. What Camus is saying is that life has plenty of value and to live in the moment with the things that make us happy even if they are absurd. In The Plague Camus shows us the absurdity of life‚ the struggle

clinical. The experiment is an investigation seeking to understand relations of cause and effect. The experiment changes a variable‚ or a cause‚ and measures how it changes the other variable in the experiment (effect). Concurrently‚ the investigator of the experiment tries to hold all other variables constant so he/she can attribute any changes to the manipulation. The manipulated variable is called the independent variable. The dependent variable is what is measured. For example‚ an experiment designed

EXPERIMENT 1: REACTIONS OF ENOLATE IONS WITH CARBONYL GROUPS Aims In this experiment we used two techniques for the reactions of enolate ions with carbonyl groups. One technique used was Doebner reaction and the other technique used was Claisen-Schmidt reaction. Therefore the aim of this experiment is to synthesize trans p-methoxycinnamic acid and to synthesize dibenzalacetone via an aldol condensation reaction between acetone and benzaldehyde. The products would be recrystallized using ethanol

Experiment 2: IDENTIFICATION OF UNKNOWNS BY TLC AND MP IN COMBINATION Introduction: Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is one of the most valuable techniques in organic chemistry. This is a best method of separating and identifying mixtures of two or more compounds. The separation is accomplished by the distribution of the mixture between two phases: one that is stationary and one that is moving or mobile. Chromatography works on the principle that different compounds will have different

FIRE RESISTANT BALLOON: Materials - 1 matchbox - 1 candle - 1 yellow colored balloon - 1 blue colored balloon - Half a cup of water Procedure: 1. For this experiment‚ the independent variable is whether the balloon is filled with water or not. The dependent variable is what happens to the balloon when it is placed above the lit candle. This is determined by observing the balloon. The constants (control variables) are how much the balloon is inflated and the amount

process of distillation. Distillation is the separation of volatile substances mixed with nonvolatile substances by boiling the mixture to alter the phase of the volatile substance. The researchers used the simple distillation set up to conduct the experiment. 25 ml of The Bar Vodka was used and 7 ml of distillate was collected before a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius was reached. Collected distillate was then subjected to a flammability test to confirm ethanol content. The percent ethanol was computed

ALBERT BANDURA Albert Bandura was born December 4‚ 1925‚ in the small town of Mundare in northern Alberta‚ Canada;as the youngest & only son in a family of eight. Bandura’s introduction to academic psychology came about by a fluke;Bandura graduated in three years‚ in 1949‚ with a B.A. from the University of British Columbia‚ winning the Bolocan Award in psychology‚ and then moved to the then-epicenter of theoretical psychology‚ the University of Iowa‚ from where he obtained his M.A. in 1951 and
