Thoreau was greatly opposed to military efforts such as the Mexican-American War but he was not inherently a pacifist. He believed it was in an individuals rights to choose not to support a war effort that they believed to be unjust. Therefore, it could be argued that he would support an individuals war efforts if the war was believed to be just and valued for the people, but if not then he would not support a soldiers service to the country through the military.

When we read about prehistoric people, most of it is about cave men. There isn’t much about cave women. Most of us think of preh
nalin [4]
The main idea of the paragraph is that women should be credited for much more during the prehistoric times that they are at the moment. We only get the picture of them being rather irrelevant at the time which is obviously not true, based on this excerpt. The paragraph is quite feminist, meaning that it is shedding light on actual history and the role of women in such a society which not much is spoken about in contemporary analyses. 
They were the ones who invented gardening, as well as pottery and weaving. The reason why they did this was because they often stayed 'at home' taking care of children, so they had time to do other things as well, while men were out hunting and providing for the family in other ways. Thus we have solid proof that women were far more creative and responsible for various things than they are credited for now.

Explain what type of conformity the subjects in Muzafer Sherif’s moving light experiment were most likely experiencing, using ev
faltersainse [42]

Muzafer Sherif is a Turkish American social psychologist. He founded modern social psychology that developed several authentic, powerful techniques for understanding social processes, especially social norms and social conflicts. His experimental research on the autocinetic movement has shown that mental evaluation standards are created by human beings and what influence society has on the development of mental values ​​of the individual.

In a completely dark room, a small light dot on the wall is displayed, and after a few minutes it appears that the dot moves. This shift effect is completely inside the head of the individual, and is the result of the lack of a "reference frame" for the movement. Three participants are in the room and watching a dot, it seems to them that the light dot moves, they are asked to evaluate how much the light dot moves. Each participant in the group says accentuously his assessment, and the answers of all three members of the group converge to the same answer. Thus, three groups changed, one said that a high estimate of the movement of the light dot, the second is medium, and the third low. But, the point is, all members of one group agreed on an identical answer. Their statements about the intensity of moving the light dot were given spontaneously, without discussion and encouragement.

A week later, members of the group were invited to individually re-run the experiment in a dark room with a moving dot, giving identical answers as when they were initially in the group. This shows that the impact of the group is informative and not forced. Their individual perception was the same as when they were members of the group.

This experiment has shown that the social world breaks the skin of individuals and influences the way a person understands his physical and psychological sensations.
