- 19711: Cloning 2
- Newspaper Article Essay: "In Layman's Terms" Attached is a newspaper article I obtained through the web but was printed in the "Discoveries" section of The Dallas Morning News on September 14, 1998. It was written by Karin Jegalian and it focuses on cloning and its biological, practical, and ethical issues. Jegalian's primary aim is to highlight specific successful cloning projects and speculate about how those developments might affect not only the science community, but society as a whole. In order to convey this information, Jegalian uses ... supports rather than reproducing them. Effectively, she combines certain parts of the material so that they would fit her article where support was necessary. As a result, her article, overall, proves more comprehensible. Comparing Jegalian's newspaper article to the journal article taken from Nature Medicine, a difference can be seen in the usage of vocabulary and terms. The first article that Jegalian uses is a journal entry entitled, "Regenerating ...

- ... as well as shared by the community may explain the Igbo acceptance and affinity for the Christian religion. Also, there are many names in the Igbo culture that begin with CHI. For example, my niece’s name is Chinyere, which means God’s gift. When considering how meals are prepared in Nigeria, one needs to realize that the Igbo society (as well as the other two ethnic cultures) is very patrilineal. The husband is the head of the household, and the "well-being" of the family is the man's foremost responsibility not only to his family but also to the larger community. The extended family system is practiced extensively and has been "perfected" by the Igbo people for community development and through every ...
- 19713: Bipolar Disorders
- ... a transient manifestation of the bipolar disorder. Thisform of the disease exhibits more episodes of mania and depression than bipolar. Lithium has been the primary treatment of bipolar disorder since its introduction in the 1960's. It is main function is to stabilize the cycling characteristic of bipolar disorder. In four controlled studies by F. K. Goodwin and K. R. Jamison, the overall response rate for bipolar subjects treated with Lithium ... may actually lead to rapid-cycling (Bauer et al., 1990). Another problem associated with the use of lithium is experienced by pregnant women. Its use during pregnancy has been associated with birth defects, particularly Ebstein's anomaly. Based on current data, the risk of a child with Ebstein's anomaly being born to a mother who took lithium during her first trimester of pregnancy is approximately 1 in 8,000, or 2.5 times that of the general population (Jacobson et al., 1992). ...

- ... attitude, Billy is transferred to another British ship, the Indomitable. And while he is accepted for his looks and happy personality, “…hardly here [is] he that cynosure he had previously been among those minor ship’s companies of the merchant marine”(14). It is here, on the Indomitable that Billy says good-bye to his rights. It is here, also, that Billy meets John Claggart, the master-at-arms. A man ... books or licentious living but born with him and innate, in short ‘a depravity according to nature’”(38). Here then, is presented a man with a personality and character to contrast and conflict with Billy’s. Sweet, innocent Billy immediately realizes that this man is someone he does not wish to cross and so after seeing Claggart whip another crew-member for neglecting his responsibilities, Billy “resolved that never through remissness ... surprise and concern when ultimately he found himself getting into petty trouble occasionally about such matters as the stowage of his bag…which brought down on him a vague threat from one of [the ship’s corporals]”(31). These small threats and incidents establish the tension between Claggart and Billy, and set the stage for a later confrontation. They also force Billy to search for help. The person he goes ...
- 19715: The School Takeover In Michigan
- ... criticized as some of the worst in the nation. The Detroit school board and the state government seem to disagree on the problems and solutions. Recently, the state of Illino8is conducted the takeover of Chicago’s schools and has had very positive results. The problem is evident; Detroit schools are suffering and this takeover and new plan are our only intelligent choice. The proof is in the test scores: Detroit grads not ready for jobs. Everyday Detroit’s schoolchildren are shortchanges on what they need most: a good education that prepares them for the jobs of the 21st century. Last year, 66 percent of Detroit’s graduation seniors could not read or do math at least an eight-grade level. How can we expect these students to go to college with the lack of preparation our schools have (or have ...

- ... enough" to subdue their earlier bad luck, Immediately a strong bond is realised between Father and son. Other than this the only other clues to the identities of this pair is the references to Albie’s mother and the eventual evolution of their rural surroundings. In the novel "To kill a mockingbird" Harper Lee has adopted a style most novels are written in. The story opens with Scout reflecting on events ... first is almost entirely devoted to the development of characters. Scout describes in vivid detail every thought, look or sign of attitude that another character may be associated with. These vivid descriptions set Harper Lee’s novel apart from the short story. Whilst "A blow, A kiss" relies on the reader to "fill in the blanks" from a stereotypical analysis of the father and son based on the small amount of ... of that bond between another father and son. "A blow, A kiss" also has underlying references to alcoholism and family values and the effects alcohol has on the family unit. The themes in Harper Lee’s novel however evolve differently, The underlying theme resides about the inclusion of racism and prejudice within society.

- 19717: Buddhism And The Six Point Att
- In explaining Buddhism, one must first understand Hinduism from which Buddhism grew. Buddhism is a reaction against Hinduism as protestant is against Catholicism. According to The World s Religions by Houston Smith, there are six aspects of religion that appear so often that a suggestion can be implied that they are seeds that make up humanity. In constructing this paper, first I will ... be obstacles for spiritual development, and why Hinduism and Christianity endorse the importance of these six elements. The word authority as it pertains to the six elements of religion does not only pertain to God s final authority, but to the authority given to the religious structure. Organized religion is important in that it gives people direction and guidance in their relationship to their God. This authority can be seen in ... hindrance rather than help. Buddha encourages his followers to shake off the bands of tradition. He said, Do not go by what was handed down nor on the authority of your traditional teachings .

The Brahmins taught the people that this would take thousands of lifetimes and would eventually work their way ...
- 19718: The Element Cesium
- ... the process of spectroanalysis ( spectroanalysis is the chemical analysis of a mixture of substances or of a complex substance by study of a spectra). Cesium is the heaviest of all alkali metals because of it’s atomic weight. Cesium’s description, however, seemingly contradicts this statement because it is described as, “ A soft, light, very low-melting metal, and is the most reactive of all the elements” (Sittig p. 446). Before 1958, little was known about Cesium because of it’s relative unavailability in the chemical market; Cesium compounds were very expensive until lithium by- products were found to have trace amounts of isolatable Cesium compounds. Once the knowledge of Cesium compounds was discovered, the ...

The hunters had stole Piggy’s (one of the fire-watchers) glasses so that they may have a means of making a cooking fire. One of the more vicious hunters roles a boulder off of a cliff, crushing Piggy, and causing ... primitive and basic struggles that man has. One must not think that Golding did not go unchanged from the war, because analysis of his pre-war poetry shows a much softer, more forgiving Golding. Golding’s basic philosophy can be summed up in a few words - society is evil. All of his books deal with this idea in some way or another. It is very easy to see how this idea ... few are overborne by the innate evil of the many (Burgess 121).” According to one of many critics “what Golding senses is that institutions and order imposed from with out are temporary, but that man’s irrationality and urge for destruction are enduring (Karl 119).” According to Golding the aim of his works is “to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature (Baker 5).” Golding’ ...
- 19720: Racism and Segregation in School
- ... call the golden years. All on the whim of two young women, despite the fact that they recanted. Racism is a strong subject to some, to others it is unrecognized. For these people that can't perceive, I recommend that you read this paper. Even if you can perceive, I still recommend to you that you read this paper. Racism is a large part of our lives, but some people don't acknowledge it. The Scottsboro boys are a perfect example of how racism is very strong. The Scottsboro boys were charged with the rape of two known prostitutes. The prostitutes said that the boys had raped them, but then they recanted and the boys were still on trial. The boys had a new life when the police arrested them. After they were acquitted their reputations were ruined. They probably couldn't get a job anywhere. Another sign that there was racism prominent in America, the land of the free, is that the African-Americans had to sit in the back of the bus when there ...
