- 3424: Human Cloning- Should It Be Ba
- Cloning Humans Cloning already happens by accident, not particularly often, but often enough that we all know examples. Identical twins are true clones of each other, with the same genes. So, the new discovery just announced from Edinburgh can't be all that radical in its moral and ethical implications. Heaven's foundations don't quiver every time a pair of identical twins is born. Nevertheless, two bees seem to be buzzing around in public bonnets. First, the new technique makes baby duplicates of an existing adult. We might, as it were, clone Stephen Hawking or Mother Teresa, and this is not the same thing as twins of the same age. Second, the specter is raised of multiple clones, regiments of identical individuals marching by the thousand, in lockstep to a Brave New Millennium. Looked at in certain ways, both these notions can be made to seem unpleasant. Phalanxes of identical little Hitlers, goosestepping to the same genetic drum, is a thought so horrifying as to ...

- 3426: Comparative View Of Two Dinsti
- ... the first force (Behaviourism) and the third force (Humanistic Psychology) and, compare differences and similarities between them. Each school of thought in psychology was sometimes born as a reaction to the previous ones or a new version of them. Although behaviourism is very popular, reactions to it and alternative thoughts are also strong in modern psychology. The debate between structuralism and functionalism was only the prelude to other fundamental controversies in ... hinder human growth. Because nourishing environments can make an important contribution to the development of healthy personalities, human needs should be given priority when fashioning social policies. This becomes increasingly critical in a rapidly changing world threatened by such dangers as nuclear war, overpopulation and the breakdown of traditional social structures. Many humanistic psychologists stress the importance of social change, the challenge of modifying old institutions and inventing new ones able to sustain both human development and organizational efficacy. Thus the humanistic emphasis on individual freedom should be matched by recognition of our interdependence and our responsibilities to one another, to society and ...

- 3428: Images Of Light And Darkness I
- ... pushover. By the end of the scene Shakespeare introduces a spice to Juliet’s character. We begin to see her as “lively,” “independent,” and “cocksure,” it is obvious that she inhabits a much “lighter” emotional world than does Romeo. By introducing Romeo in “darkness,” and Juliet in “light,” Shakespeare sets the stage for a contrast that he utilizes throughout the play. Romeo’s darkness doesn’t last long however. In Act ... and violence (darkness), having the offspring of two ancient enemies meet and fall in love heightens the contrast and catapults the story line forward. Beginning in Act II, Scene I, we are introduced to a new Romeo. Gone is the sorrowful young man he once was. Even Mercutio’s constant ribbing about the easily forgotten Rosaline, stirs no anger. Romeo has been transformed. Romeo is as love-sick as Mercutio teases him for being, but in a new and different way, and with a different woman. Throughout the scene we see Romeo listening with mixed emotions to comments that have lost their sting and yet offend his newfound passion. It is this ...
