Expository Essay: What is love?

Introduction
Love is seen as a highly spiritual and emotional state, and where emotion may be part of
romantic love, it is certainly not where it ends. Love may in fact be a facilitator for
procreation, and the effects of love may help to keep families together long enough to rear a
child to an age where in the wild (back in prehistoric times) it would stand a chance on its
own.

Thesis
In this essay I will show how love is not just an emotional and spiritual thing. I will show
how it has a chemical basis and how it makes up part of our base instincts/ our animal
nature.

Point 1 Love has a chemical basis

Love has been shown to be the product of chemicals that last for as long as two years. After
two years scientists have found that the chemical that causes what is known as love is gone.

Support
The chemical basis of love has been found to be evident in people that claim they are in
love. They are not found in people that are not in love apart from in very specific
circumstances. There is a point where you may eat enough chocolate that it starts to become
toxic. The toxicity would not kill you, in fact if you were eating milk chocolate then
diabetes would probably kill you before any form of chocolate poisoning. Still, one the
consumption of enough chocolate has occurred then the toxicity evokes the same chemicals
as the feeling of love. Eating dark chocolate will evoke the chemical feelings of love faster
than eating milk or white chocolate.

Point 2 Love is biologically programmed into us

There is the idea that we as humans are genetically coded to seek out partners. The trouble
is that according to the research done by the writers of Sperm Wars it seems that our
biological impulses are based on our reproductive organs. A woman has a limited number
of eggs and so treats them with care and respect, ergo she is more selective about her mate.
Men on the other hand may produce a new batch of sperm very quickly and may turn over a
new batch every three days if the load is not expelled in the meantime. This suggests that
they look for multiple partners in order to spread their seed to as many females as possible.

Love may play a part in this as it may help bond partners so that they look after their young
until their young are old enough to survive alone, which in biological terms would be at the
age of four years old.

Support
Exclusive mating is not uncommon in the animal kingdom, nor it the idea of a
monogamous female and a polygamous male. For example, in the cat world a female will
mate with just one alpha cat, but that same cat will have a harem of females that he mates
with.

Conclusion
As humans we are at the whim of chemicals when it comes to love. We are also at the
mercy of our animal instincts. These are players in the field of love, but since we are
humans and conscious of our thoughts and actions, we are able to master the effects of our
base instincts and chemicals/ bodily hormones. Some people are even able to master their
emotions too.

Digital Cameras Essay

1. Introduction. Throughout the ages humanity has always been fascinated by the
possibility of capturing moments or in other words perpetuating moments of high
significance and outstanding beauty. This provided the opportunity to share something that
nobody else has seen or perceived. This idea has made a long way from canvas-paintings to
using cameras. Cameras, in their turn have also experienced a rather fast evolution and
nowadays everybody has a notion of what a digital camera is and the majority of people use
digital cameras.

2. What is a digital camera? According to a standard definition a digital camera is

opposed to a film or video camera, uses an electronic sensor to transform images and video
into electronic data[1]. Years ago people used to possess two different devices in order to
take pictures and to make video. The need to spare space and make it more comfortable for
people to do both things with higher quality results catalyzed the creation of digital
cameras. The multifunctionalism of digital cameras and the combination of several devices
in one make it the best possible choice for a modern man. For years a digital camera has
been unaffordable for many families, nevertheless, nowadays the great variety of digital
cameras of different manufacturers and diverse prices make a digital camera a potential
purchase of almost every single family. The formula: price + quality = satisfied customer
used by the digital cameras manufacturers is especially reflected in the wide choice of
cameras that offer the best quality standards for the price-range they belong to.
3. How to choose a digital camera?
The transition of digital photography from the privilege of rich people to an ordinary home
appliance has caused some problems. That is the reason a modern man has a set of
questions concerning digital cameras, especially the whats, whys and wheres of digital
cameras. Nobody wants to make a miscalculation! The basic problem in choosing a
digital camera is a guarantee that the device you are purchasing will grow old in couple
of month due to a constant improvement and development of the sphere. The only factor
that may delay this process of growing old is purchasing a device with the price twice or
three times higher of the average market price for a digital camera at the moment. If a
person chooses a digital camera there are several criterions of a great priority he needs to
keep in mind: price of the device, the image resolution of the camera, the capacity of the
memory card, presence of a LCD-display, the interface of the camera, its weight and size.
The price of a digital camera depends on its quality factors. The resolution of a digital
camera, or in other words the size of a digital image is measured in pixels. Pixels in their
turn are photosensitive elements. It is common knowledge, that the bigger is the amount of
pixels indicated in the camera properties the better it is. Therefore, if a high-detailed photo
is required, the usage of zoom on a digital camera with small resolution will not give the
desired result. In this case a person choosing a digital camera needs to exactly know what it
will be used for and to choose it according to its future destination. It is necessary to
mention that the resolution of 640"x"480 is the lowest resolution any customer should be
orientated to. It is the minimal resolution with witch the purchase of a digital camera still
remains reasonable. The lens of the camera or the zoom properties mentioned above
allows saving a lot on the price of the device but hits the quality of the pictures obtained.
The memory card is a very important issue, too. It is much better to choose a better camera
with a lesser memory capacity than an overage digital camera with a larger memory
capacity. The presence of the LCD-display is no longer a wish it is a requirement for any
digital camera. It allows to choose the future image, to anticipate it and to delete bad
images and therefore to save space.
4. The advantages of digital cameras
Along with some advantages mentioned above there are more to digital cameras than that.

It goes without saying that it is possible to examine and sort out the images, create a slide
show, a digital photo album, create a presentation on your computer, a ordinary TV or a
multimedia projector. A digital camera offers the ability of sending images for printing
directly to the printer with a DPOF standard or throughout the USB without using the
computer. The images from the digital cameras may be sent throughout the Internet. For
instance, it is possible to send images to colleagues, friends or relatives using e-mail. In the
era of the constant lack of time this advantages become issues of the highest priority.
5. Affordability and manufacturers
There is a plenty of digital cameras for sale in the price-range from $300 to $9000 and
more. What camera would become the best choice? An ordinary digital camera with the
price around $300 is suitable for everyday usage. So do not expect any super possibilities
from a camera like that. The variety of manufacturers is very wide. Nevertheless it is
necessary to mention the most popular brands among the customers. They are: Sony, Canon
and Nikon. And some others: Casio, Fuji, HP, Kodak, Konica, Olympus and Pentax. The
most popular digital camera nowadays is Sony Cyber Shot DSC-P150.
6. Conclusion
Digital cameras find more and more place in the lives of contemporary people. Due to the
comfort and quality of making images they are rightfully displacing ordinary old cameras
from the market. After all, this is very simple: take the picture you want, connect the digital
camera to your computer and open the boundless elbowroom of its opportunities. You
may immediately print the images or by means of special programs make the images
brighter, add shrill and so on. The quality of the images is much better than on the film
cameras. Smart Media Card or Compact Flash memory cards store the images and do not
let them to get old. Digital cameras are the right choice of the new millennium
