- 701: Jean Jacque Piaget
- ... married Valentine Chatenay. The couple had three children, Jacqueline, Lucienne and Laurent. As assumed he studied their intellectual development from infancy to language. Piaget is most popular for his theory of four stages of a child’s mental growth. The first is the Sensorimotor Stage, which is from birth until age two. According to Piaget, this stage is the most interesting because it includes the most rapid changes. It is at this time when a child learns about his/her relationship to various objects. The child learns a variety of fundamental movements and perceptual activities such as holding a bottle. The second stage is the Preoperational Stage, ages two to seven. Children start to use language and try to make ...
- 702: Windows NT vs Unix As An Operating System
- ... explicitly creating them (usually when an object is created), as the result of an open operation (e.g. OpenEvent()) on a named object in the system, inherited as the result of a CreateProcess() operation (a child process inherits an open handle from its parent process if inheritance was specified when the original handle was created and if the child process was created with the "inherit handles" flag set), or "given away" by DuplicateHandle(). It is important to note that unless one of these mechanisms is used, a handle will be meaningless in the context ... CreateThread). Rather than "inherit" everything always, as is done in UNIX with the fork call, CreateProcess accepts explicit arguments that control aspects of process creation such as file handle inheritance, security attributes, debugging of the child process, environment, default directory, etc. It is through the explicit creation of a thread or process with appropriate security descriptors that credentials are granted to the created entity. Win32 does not provide the capability ...
- 703: Human Cloning
- ... by thirteen different countries (Silberner, p 5). A major controversy surrounding the issue of cloning is linked to a physicist by the name of Richard Seed who has one ultimate goal: to clone a human child within the next two years (Kestenbaum, p 315). Richard seed aired his plans to launch a human cloning clinic in Chicago, and became an overnight sensation. Seed who is unaffiliated with any university or research institution, has hand picked a team of physicians who will attempt in the next few months to use newly developed cloning techniques to enable an infertile couple to have a child. His assertions that he has the capability to achieve this feat has drawn national condemnation from President Clinton and international condemnation from the World Health Organization and countless world leaders. Seed says that his desire ... in the memories. Also, people believe that cloning could treat people with infertility problems. If a couple is unable to reproduce on their own, with the use of cloning, they could, in theory, have a child that is their own. Many ethicists maintain that parents have the right to do what they want to with their embryos, but others think that they should not take away any child’s, chance ...

- 705: Analysis of Heaney's Punishment
- ... in "I would fill jampotfuls of the jellied specks and wait and watch until the fattening dots burst into nimble swimming tadpoles" Further on, Heaney recreates the sense of anticipation of the frogs as a child, through describing the teachings of Miss Walls, in a child like tone: The Mammy frog laid hundreds of little eggs and this was frog spawn" However, Heaney then continues to describe his shock, when he found out the frogs grew to be the gross disgusting ... pulsed like sails ... Poised like mud grenades, their blunt heads farting" The way in which Heaney describes his shock of the frogs gross nature, is therefore very simplistic, as he recreates the experience of the child, through writing like the child, and using child like metaphors. However this simplicity is superficial, as the writing style does not truly represent the theme of the poem. The main theme of the poem ...
- 706: Cloning 6
- ... the same. Three pros to cloning are that cloning may hold the secret to eternal youth, the research of genes has changed the thinking of scientists, and that parents would be able to have a child who looks exactly like a model, movie star, etc. First, cloning could lead to the discovery of the secret to eternal youth. If anyone had a chance to live forever, they would take it. If anyone could have a child who could live forever, they would do it. Cloning may be the answer to eternal youth. “He said the creation of transgenetic animals could be an important tool in ... ultimately stopping -- the aging process.” Becoming ... to understand the ways in which genes operate, they have also become aware of the myriad ways in which the environment affects their ‘expression.’” In the future people will be able to decide what their child will look like and what kind of base intelligence the child will have, but they will not be able to decide the child’s fate. For the people who want to control what their ...
- 707: Exploring The Theme Of Premature Death In Three Poems
- Exploring The Theme Of Premature Death In Three Poems Death in the family is shocking, and it is even more appalling when it is unforeseen and when it takes a child. Three poets have written from personal experience three renowned poems on this theme. Margaret Atwood wrote “Death of a Young Son by Drowning”, Seamus Heaney gave us “Mid-term Break”, and Ben Johnson penned On ... over the death of his four-year old brother. If one examines this title on an interpretive level, the word “break” takes on a new meaning, as it could refer to the death of the child as breaking the heart or spirit of the family and the speaker. The situations and tones in the poems are very similar, in that all the poems deal with the speaker in the poem expressing ... poem starts with the father saying goodbye to his son (1). He then questions himself and tries to determine why he is feeling so much grief, because he rationalizes that it is better for a child to die young and escape the hardship of the world and the misery of old age (5-8).
