- 27241: Information About Transgenic Organisms
- Transgenic Organism, plant, animal, or bacteria that has been genetically modified to contain a gene from a different species. The new gene is inherited by offspring in the same way as the organism's own genes. The transgenic condition is achieved by injecting the foreign gene into the fertilized egg or into embryonic cells. The injected gene becomes part of the host cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) within the chromosome and is then inherited by all the cells produced during embryonic development. It is thus present in all the cells of the resulting adult organism and is inherited by ... engineering. Transgenic organisms have proved very useful in analyzing the function of gene products because a specific gene can be expressed in all the cells of a transgenic organism and the effect on the organism's development and function can then be monitored. It is also possible to use transgenic procedures to produce animals in which a specific gene has been deactivated in all its body cells. Certain genetic disorders ...
- 27242: The Scarlet Letter 4
- Throughout time, the power of the people and their laws have differed in many ways. The Puritans are one example. Many people in this time period died because of their "branded sin." In Nathaniel Hawthorne's The scarlet Letter, the character Hester Prynne and her child Peral deal with this sin by wearing a Scarlet A. "when the young woman stood fully revealed before the crowd, it seemed to be her ... in a sphere by herself." Hester did have have the opportunity of removing the scarlet letter only ifd she revealed the father of her child. For example, 'Woman, transgress not not beyond limits of heaven's mercy! hat little babe hath been gifted with a voice, to second and confirm the councel which thou hast heard. Speak out the name" cries Mr. Wilson" 'Never!' replies Hester. "It is too deeply branded ... that grew by the prison-door', replies the naughty littlegirl" Throughout this whole scandal, Hester can teach her little pearl what she has learned from this. Hester Prynne had the option of revealing the father's name, but she insisted on living with the sin that was committed. I think she had a point about not removing the A, but at one part of the story when she takes the ...
- 27243: Vegetarianism
- ... on the average, far healthier than those who consume the typical Western diet, and enjoy a lower incidence of many chronic diseases. However, it has not been proven that one must eliminate meat from one's diet in order to be healthy. It has been aptly demonstrated that the typical Western diet contains too much fat. Eliminating meat from the diet is one way to reduce fat, but it is not ... of animal foodstuffs is nutritionally and energetically equivalent to a pound of plant foodstuffs. These arguments also ignore the energy content and opportunity cost of replacing animal by-products, which is considerable. Even the animal's excrement is a valuable resource. Certain animal products, such as fetal calf serum, collagen and laminin are crucial for medical research using cell cultures, and have no available alternatives. If certain practices associated with animal ... to eating meat. Though not practical for everyone, hunting and fishing bypass any potential ecological destruction associated with plant or animal agriculture. They are thus two of the most ecologically sound ways to obtain one's sustenance. Those who would oppose even limited exploitation of these alternatives have ethical concerns masquerading as environmental concerns. The most disingenuous ecological ploy made by "ethical" vegetarians is the "...we could feed X starving ...
- 27244: Industry Research Comparing Th
- ... transitioning of shows and stars from radio to television. The standard fare of news, comedy, and quiz shows was in full swing by 1954. I suppose the goals are different in a saturated market, it's more about moving listeners and viewers from one source to another rather than creating a new demand. To illustrate, the number of movie theaters was virtually unchanged over the five years, yet the number of showings per day at each theater more than doubled, and the advertising promoting reduced price showings and "Late Showings" increased as well. I suspect, although without evidence that the total number of patrons didn't double, but rather since the availability of screenings had increased, the opportunistic viewer had more choices and was more inclined to attend spontaneously. I believe that I might have seen more dramatic changes if I ...

- ... but never dared to say it. The mother believed they were poor due to the fact her husband had no luck. One day the boy asked his mother what luck really was. She replied,"It's what causes you to have money. If you are lucky you have money. That's why it it's better to be rich. If you're rich you may lose your money. But if your lucky, you will always get more money." The boy told his mother he had luck. The boy knew ...
- 27246: 27 Years of Influential 60 Minutes
- ... the television news business and 60 Minutes gave the viewing public what it craved--shocking interviews and investigations which led to the uncovering of crooks, terrorists, and swindlers. Witnessing doors being slammed in a reporter's face became customary to the show. Before 1968 the nightly news would simply broadcast headlines; comparable to reading a newspaper. But 60 Minutes became a television newsmagazine offering the reader revealing, on camera stories about ... Group, says that "60 Minutes invented a new genre of television programming-the newsmagazine-and in the process had a dramatic impact on the television industry and the viewing habits of the American people." Stringer's comment is very true because if one were to scan through a TV index today, they would see that nearly all channels are infested with talk shows, tabloid programs, interview shows of famous personalities, and ... programs, all of which derived elements from 60 Minutes. Given that 60 Minutes set a new standard for presenting the public with ground-breaking stories, creator and producer of the show, Don Hewitt, says "It's what you hear more often than what you see that holds your interest. The words you hear and not the pictures you see are essentially what 60 Minutes is all about." The shows that ...

- 27248: Video Games And Children
- ... games are a good way of introducing children to computers. Playing video games has several negative effects on children, too. Critics believe that performing violent actions in video games may be more conducive to children's aggression than watching violent acts on television.

- 27250: The French Revolution
- ... Revolution was much like the American Revolution, in that the people rebelled and broke away from their government. Those who rebelled against the government had a good cause; however, I strongly agree with George Washington’s argument on the French Revolution. He states “To forebear running from one extreme to another is no easy matter, and should be in the case, rocks and shoals not visible at present may wreck the ... government, and they could have created a great depression in their country.
