Dear Customer Service, I am writing with regard to my recent furniture order. Last Saturday, I visited your Springfield showroom and purchased an oak desk along with two three-drawer filing cabinets for my study. However, when I returned home this evening, I found that my order had been delivered in my absence, and the cabinets were not what I ordered. Instead of the three-drawer style, I received the four-drawer version. Unfortunately, due to limited space, I am unable to accommodate the taller cabinets, which makes them unsuitable for my needs. I kindly request that you arrange for the wrong cabinets to be picked up and replaced with the correct three-drawer models as soon as possible. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to schedule the exchange. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, as I need the right cabinets to properly organize my files. Best regards, John Smith

Light streamed into Emily's eyes as she stirred awake, stretching with a contented sigh. Hugging her pillow, she smiled ― her cousin's house was just as cozy as hers, and everything felt wonderfully familiar. The usual morning sounds of Rosewood filled the air: the dog barking and the garbage truck passing by with a low, steady sound. Memories of last night's party with her cousins danced through her mind, bringing a soft smile to her face. Then, a strange scent hung in the air ― something earthy and sharp, like hay mixed with something unfamiliar. Emily frowned and sensed that something was not right. As she turned her head, her breath caught. Aunt Helene stood in the doorway. Emily blinked, unsure if she was still dreaming. Aunt Helene was supposed to be traveling. She couldn't understand why Aunt Helene was here. "You're up," Helene said. "Come downstairs." Emily was so shaken that she couldn't say anything. Emily's body was moving down the stairs, but her mind was still trying to catch up with what just happened.

Society makes a pedagogical mistake when it emphasizes obtaining the so-called "right answer" rather than asking the "right" question, or at least, a good question. The so-called "good student" is viewed as the one who rapidly provides the right answers to questions teachers ask. On this view, the expert in a given field unfortunately becomes an extension of the so-called "expert student" ― the one who knows and can quickly spit back a lot of information. As John Dewey believed, how one thinks about issues often is more important and consequential in life than exactly what one thinks. Schools should teach students how to ask important questions (questions that are worth answering and that are interesting) and reduce their emphasis on rote learning of facts. And they need to reorient their emphases in diverse domains, not just in the arts. Contemporary creativity research embraces a wide variety of distinct domains, from science to engineering to business to architectural design to the arts to athletics, all of which are ready for creative investigation.

The combination of geometrical regularity and keen observation of nature is characteristic of all Egyptian art. We can study it best in the reliefs and paintings that adorned the walls of the tombs. The word 'adorned', it is true, may hardly fit an art which was meant to be seen by no one but the dead man's soul. In fact, these works were not intended to be enjoyed. They were meant to 'keep alive'. Once, in a dark distant past, it had been the custom when a powerful man died to let his servants and slaves accompany him into the grave so that he should arrive in the beyond with a suitable suite. They were sacrificed. Later, these horrors were considered either too cruel or too costly, and art came to the rescue. Instead of real servants, the great ones of this earth were given images as substitutes. The pictures and models found in Egyptian tombs were connected with the idea of providing the souls with helpmates in the other world.

When thinking of fashion as clothing and accessories, it is hard not to see it as an item, an object we purchase and use, and an object that, inevitably, is made of something ― for one cannot think of fashion items without thinking of their materiality. Nevertheless, such materiality is inconceivable if not as a performance. Fashion is fabric, sartorial design, and the set of inventions and innovations that punctuate its history ― none of these are static. The study of fabrics and pattern designs runs parallel to and complements the very study of our cultures and traditions. It is a matter, somewhat poetically, of dressing history, of giving it colors and design. The fabrics in which fashion items are made populate our cultural heritage: they remind us of traditions and rituals. They are even at times signs of economic change ― nylon after the Second World War, sustainable fabrics nowadays. In many ways, the study of the material counterpart of fashion becomes a study of collective identity, of global trends, of the growth and evolution of societies ― from the past to the present to the future.

Gen Z became the first generation in history to go through puberty with a portal in their pockets that called them away from the people nearby and into an alternative universe that was exciting, addictive, unstable, and unsuitable for children and adolescents. Succeeding socially in that universe required them to devote a large part of their consciousness ― perpetually ― to managing what became their online brand. This was now necessary to gain acceptance from peers, which is the oxygen of adolescence, and to avoid online shaming, which is the nightmare of adolescence. Gen Z teens got sucked into spending many hours of each day scrolling through the shiny happy posts of friends, acquaintances, and distant influencers. They watched increasing quantities of user-generated videos and streamed entertainment, offered to them by autoplay and algorithms that were designed to keep them online as long as possible. They spent far less time playing with, talking to, touching, or even making eye contact with their friends and families, thereby reducing their participation in embodied social behaviors that are essential for successful human development.

The philosopher and statesman Francis Bacon couched the efforts of his peers to understand the world, whether it is the workings of an organ or movements of the heavens, in terms of the spiders and the ants, where the former use reason and the latter rely on experiment. Importantly, Bacon realised that a blend of both skills ― as performed by the bees ― was necessary for what today we call science: like these busy little insects, worker scientists harvest data from experiments so that their minds can transform them into fruitful information. In his evocative writing, one can see an outline of how science still works: reason guides experiment, which paves the way for new reasoning and then new experiments. With his metaphor of the bee, Bacon had rejected the approaches of the ant, which depended on radical empiricism (data without reason), and of the spider, which relied on rationalism (reason without data), in his quest for knowledge.

The graph above presents the percentage of weekday trips made by three types of transportation ― cars, public transport, and walking or biking ― in multiple subregions of the Americas, Europe, and Asia in 2024. In the Americas, North America showed an overwhelming reliance on cars at 92%, which was more than three times the rate in South America. In Northern, Western, and Southern Europe, cars were the most commonly used means of transportation with the usage of public transport sitting at less than one-third of the total. Cars were used by fewer than 20 percent of people in Eastern Asia, while walking or biking was used by fewer than 20 percent in Southeastern Asia. Public transport, however, was used by more than 40 percent of people in both Eastern and Southeastern Asia.

Thomas Wiggins, also known as 'Blind Tom,' was a remarkable pianist and composer born in 1849 in Georgia, USA. Born blind and enslaved, he displayed extraordinary musical talent from an early age. Wiggins could reproduce complex melodies after hearing them only once, earning recognition as a prodigy. He was also known for his ability to mimic sounds from nature and the environment, such as birdsong and trains, incorporating them into his performances. Despite his disability and the harsh conditions of slavery, he was taken on tour by his enslaver, and his performances astonished audiences across the United States and Europe. Wiggins composed over 100 pieces, blending classical, folk, and popular influences. His most famous work, 'The Battle of Manassas,' vividly depicts the sounds of the Civil War. After emancipation, he continued to perform, but exploitation by his handlers continued. Despite this, Wiggins became one of the most celebrated musicians of the 19th century. He passed away in 1908, leaving behind a legacy of human potential in the face of adversity.

A variety of linguistic expressions convey the ideas centrally linked with the concept of true self. People are said to have integrity when their actions appear to express what they truly feel and value, and this quality of integrity, cross-culturally, seems to engender trust and respect. The etymology of the term integrity derives from the Latin "integer," meaning that integrity expresses wholeness and entirety. Nor are such expressions limited to Western cultures. Japanese language, for example, contains the word jibun, which is sometimes translated as "true self" and conveys a deeper self that must be discovered which facilitates one's health and connections with others. Similarly, Takeo Doi pointed out the awareness among Japanese of potential discrepancies between inner sensibilities and outward presentation, as illustrated by the existence of complementary terms such as tatemae/honne. Kim-Chong Chong similarly highlights related conceptions within Confucian philosophy. Clearly, concern with authenticity or the true self of others is present in varied cultural contexts.

In many ways, the Internet has accelerated people's notion that the truth is relative. As Anna Kata argues, the Internet has facilitated a postmodern paradigm of truth in which expert consensus is delegitimized and personal values and experiences are treated the same as scientific evidence. Within this new paradigm, Kata notes, everyone is considered an expert and truth is "flattened," as each perspective and view of the facts is represented as legitimate, with evidence from legitimate experts considered one of multiple opinions. The changing nature of what is considered true is problematic in terms of misperceptions, as people are increasingly exposed to online discussions and debates about what is true. If extremely inaccurate evidence, personal experiences, or the words of charlatans are presented and considered alongside evidence from scientific consensus without consideration of validity based on evidence, it becomes more difficult for people to determine which information is legitimate and true. Furthermore, online postmodern discourses often shift the standards of evidence to suit participants' arguments, making it more likely that people will become confused about the facts and ultimately misinformed.

Researchers need to be aware that subjects' behavior may change simply because they are getting special attention, as one classic experiment revealed. In the late 1930s, the Western Electric Company hired researchers to investigate worker productivity in its Hawthorne factory near Chicago. One experiment tested the hypothesis that increasing the available lighting would raise worker output. First, researchers measured worker productivity or output (the dependent variable). Then they increased the lighting (the independent variable) and measured output a second time. Productivity had gone up, a result that supported the hypothesis. But when the research team later turned the lighting back down, productivity increased again. What was going on? In time, the researchers realized that the employees were working harder (even if they could not see as well) simply because people were focusing on them and measuring their output. From this research, social scientists coined the term Hawthorne effect to refer to a change in a subject's behavior caused simply by the awareness of being studied.

While the content of radio, television, or the internet might be a football game or a political debate, the message ― in McLuhan's terms ― of each of these media is not that. The message is instead equal to the social changes that a medium generates. McLuhan wrote that 'the "message" of any medium or technology is the change of scale or pace or pattern that it introduces into human affairs'. He also argued that the content of a medium is always another medium: the content of television might be the medium of a theatrical play, the medium of football, and so on. He wanted to make the point that by just studying the content, we risk becoming entangled in this spiral of media within media within media. It was therefore better, he thought, to instead focus on understanding media in terms of the ways in which they transform the social.

Language is a cultural resource available for people to use. We do things with words, as the philosopher J. L. Austin reminded us decades ago. Even when we speak or write to ourselves, our very choices of words, as well as our underlying intentions and desires, are influenced by the social contexts in which we have seen, heard, or experienced those words, intentions, and desires before. Linguistic anthropologists, therefore, maintain that the essence of language cannot be understood without reference to the particular social contexts in which it is used. But those contexts do not stand apart from linguistic practices or somehow "contain" them, as a soup bowl would contain soup. Rather, social contexts and linguistic practices mutually constitute each other. For this reason, language should be studied, Alessandro Duranti writes, "not only as a mode of thinking but, above all, as a cultural practice, that is, as a form of action that both presupposes and at the same time brings about ways of being in the world.

For evolution to work, selection needs to be ― as the term suggests ― selective. This means that selection needs to be based on an individual life form's properties and not on a whole population of life forms. It is not enough that a change improves the ability for a life form to survive. It needs to improve the life form's likelihood of survival relative to other life forms. For example, if a life form has a mutation that produces chemicals that speed up the process of procreation but distributes these chemicals among all other life forms, every life form nearby profits, no matter whether they had the beneficial mutation or not. This is similar to the situation in an economy. Money, status, or reputation is given preferably to those people and companies that have methods more adapted to the environment (the market). A well-run restaurant with better service will attract more customers than a poorly run restaurant. If, at the end of the day, the better restaurant had to share its earnings with all other restaurants, it might have a harder time "evolving" and expanding its business.

Fashion retailers are becoming more innovative in addressing the increasing returns issue, including the implementation of reverse logistics strategies, by which returns are channelled through the most cost-effective route. One example of this is the introduction of dedicated in-store areas, supported by advanced AI technology, for both online and offline returns and the collection of online orders. An advantage of this is that online customers, going into a store to process a free return, may be tempted to make additional purchases while there. Improved technology is also being used to allow online customers to virtually try on products to check fit and suitability prior to purchase. Omni-channel initiatives, such as these, should improve both operating profit margins and customer satisfaction, reducing the financial risk posed by the increasing rate of returns.

How water is used is unique to the resource. Oil is completely consumed when it is used, especially if it is burned to provide energy. This also means that the amount of oil consumed by one user is not available for someone else. In contrast, much water use is sequential, and it is not often fully consumed by the first user. For example, the water contained in a river may be extracted by many users as it flows from the upper watershed to its eventual end in a floodplain or ocean. Water may be withdrawn from the river by upstream users, through pumping, diversion and other methods of extraction, but there can also be a lot of return flow of water back to the river during upstream use. This return flow to the river is then available for other users further downstream. In fact, some uses of water, such as hydroelectric power generation, transportation and recreation, do not require any withdrawals of surface water. Water for these purposes is neither withdrawn from the source nor consumed.

In some cases, objects are members of the same category not because they are highly similar in appearance but because they serve similar functions. For example, planes, trains, and automobiles do not look very similar to each other, but they are all means of transportation. In still other cases, exemplars become associated because they have some connection to each other based on some higher meaning. Attending church, donating money to a faith-based charity, and bowing one's head before meals are very different specific behavioral acts, and it is not immediately apparent that they serve the same function. All of them, though, are excellent exemplars that reflect the individual's religiosity. The concept of religiosity provides a meaning structure that ties these behaviors together in a single category simply because they are different manifestations of the same underlying concept. Thus, categories need to have some explanatory function. A category is more than a set of elements that are grouped based merely on perceived similarities and differences; a category is also a theory that gives some account for why these elements, but not other elements, are included in the category. This explanation provides the "glue" that holds the category together.

The wealth-health question illustrates the most irresistible thinking error made by both amateur and professional social psychologists: When two factors such as wealth and health go together, it is tempting to conclude that one causes the other. Wealth, we might presume, somehow protects a person from health risks. But maybe it's the other way around: Perhaps healthy people are more likely to succeed economically, or people who live longer have more time to accumulate wealth. A third variable might also cause both health and wealth ― for example, perhaps those of a certain race or religion are both healthier and more likely to become wealthy. In other words, correlations indicate a relationship, but that relationship is not necessarily one of cause and effect. Correlational research allows us to roughly predict one variable from another, but it cannot tell us whether one variable (such as wealth) causes another (such as health). When two variables (let's call them X and Y) are correlated with each other, there are three possibilities: X causes Y, Y causes X, or a third variable (Z) causes both.

Literacy has become an increasingly complex issue in the twenty-first century because of the development of technology. With the popularity of social media and mobile applications, written and spoken communication genres often merge and become indistinguishable. As suggested by Caroline Tagg, text and talk merge in modern communication. With the immediacy of communication enabled by technology, the distinction between formal, pre-planned written communication and the more casual, immediate spoken communication is eroded, whether in social or workplace contexts. The difference in language style between the two modes of communication has also become less conspicuous. Text messages on mobile devices and social media are basically a kind of written communication. However, because of the immediacy of the communication, they have assumed characteristics of spoken communication, such as more casual/informal communication style, with less emphasis on planning and less compliance with typical genre features. Features of spoken communication can often be found in these written texts which are in fact a type of textual spoken communication.

The context of children's exposure to regional variation of a language may play a role in how it is interpreted for social meaning. Kinzler and DeJesus conducted a study of five- and six-year-old children in the Northern and Southern U.S., and found that they were not equally able to identify or assign social evaluations to those regional accents. Children from the North, where the more prestigious dialect is spoken, could reliably identify it and showed social preferences for speakers with a Northern accent. Children living in the Southern U.S., where a less prestigious regional variety is predominately spoken, were at chance when identifying the varieties, and showed no social preferences for either accent. The crucial difference is that Southern children typically have exposure to both Northern and Southern accents whereas Northern children would mainly have exposure to the Northern accent. In this context, hearing multiple regional varieties did not give children an advantage in awareness of regional variation. [Summary] Children's exposure to regional accents can influence their interpretations of those accents, with Northern U.S. children showing a preference for their more respected dialect, while Southern U.S. children, exposed to both Northern and Southern accents, showed neither awareness of nor preference for dialect variation.

The rootedness of plants, their insistence on staying in place, means that plant morphologies record biographies of encounter. Humans, fires, diseases, weather, soils, plants, and animals can all leave traces in plant morphologies. Long-lived trees, in particular, can be witnesses to history. Through their capacity to live for centuries, trees can inspire people into caring for processes that stretch beyond human lifetimes. Through their affinity for deep soils and moisture, short-lived domesticated plants have also persuaded humans to reshape landscapes, from cornfields in Iowa to wheat fields in Tuscany. The gardens, agricultural fields, and the terracing and drainage systems that surround us are the visible consequences of human love, dependency, and exploitation of plants. Much of the time we fail to notice what a plant-centered world we live in. Learning to notice plant ingenuity requires us to slow down, to walk, look, and wonder, to realize that what we took for granted is much stranger than we had imagined. The botanist Francis Hallé points out that one way to slow down and notice the strangeness of plants is through drawings of plant form: "It is as if we were visiting a distant planet and encountered a form of alien life with which we share no language ― a form of life based upon principles not our own. If we wish to understand this creature, it is best not to rush.

Here is a story about an emperor in ancient China and one quiet court member. The emperor attracted many people to his court who wanted to share the distinction of shaping the future of the land. Most court members eagerly competed for his attention, each trying to outdo the next and win projects to benefit themselves. The emperor gave his time to one court member after another, interested in each person's idea because it matched his desires precisely. Yet their ideas led to disappointing results. The quiet member did not present any ideas to the emperor. Others scolded him for his lack of creativity and warned that he would soon lose his position. Still, he simply listened as the emperor spoke about caring for his people and improving farming. One afternoon, the court members and the emperor were discussing a project to build a structure that would reach into the heavens, taller than any other building in the land. The court members argued about how to design the foundation and build each level to support the next. To everyone's surprise, the quiet member spoke up. "The purpose of this building is to allow the emperor to be closer to the heavens?" "Yes." Everyone agreed that the purpose is to symbolize the glory and wisdom of the emperor.
