...For many Rawandans, the genocide against the Tutsi became an integral and unforgettable part of their history. The slaughter of nearly a million people is usually associated with the medival times and one can only wonder how the Rawandan genocide could occur in our lifetime. Phillip Gourevitch’s essay “We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families” explores the mechanisms and motivation required for a mass genocide such as the Rawandan Genocide to occur in our lifetime. Taking the role of a journalist, Phillip Grouevitch brings the reader to ground zero of the genocide and brings awareness to the atrocities committed outside of our sheltered first world lives. Through the use of vivid imagery, objective approach, and...

... Provide examples of the observations Darwin used (1 page). ‘On the origin of species by means of natural selection : or, The preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life’ by Charles Darwin (1860) was the first book to put forward the scientific theory that populations evolve over a period of generations by the process of natural selection. The first part of the book described observations in support of common descent. One such observation is that of the homologous structures possessed by a wide variety of animals. Darwin used the fact that lizards, bats, whales, birds, frogs cats and even humans all contain a pent dactyl limb to support his theory that all life is descended from one common ancestor. As he says himself , “What can be more curious than that the hand of a man, formed for grasping, that of a mole for digging, the leg of the horse, the paddle of the porpoise, and the wing of the bat, should all be constructed on the same pattern, and should include the same bones, in the same relative positions?”(Darwin 1860) Another observation of common descent from the first part of Darwin’s book is that of convergence of form. This is the presence of similar biological traits in members of different species. Darwin illustrated this using the example of the finches. He observed a variety of forms encountered in related species that converge upon forms in unrelated species adapted to similar environments( Dr John Finarelli 2012). The similarity in embryology...

...Many Americans are unaware of the past that this nation was built upon. History was changed, never taught, and hardly spoken about our education system. It's no secret what our nation was built on, slavery and bloodshed, but one of the main components sacrificed for our nation is hardly spoken about or referenced in that matter. Through the centuries our nation has entangled itself into a tree of darkness and evil. Attempts to cover up the light, forcing the people into the dark abyss. They have covered up or attempted to cover up, uneducated, and even misguided millions about our history. As the years pass, more and more has been uncovered bringing the true evil back to the surface so it can be diminished. Through slavery, genocide, and raping...

...Animal Interactions Essay Of course there are numerous stories of animals viciously attacking other animals and news segments showcasing how brutal animals can be to humans, but all animals aren’t competitive (when organisms try to obtain food, water, space, sunlight, and other resources at the same place and time) in nature. If one were to hear that statement, they might think that animals are only agreeable within their own population of species, but this is also not true. Undomesticated animals have a bad reputation of being very competitive, which is a common misconception among many people. Symbiosis, the predator-prey cycle, and mimicry are all three common forms of organism interactions that are not competitive. No organism lives in complete isolation, which means that there will always be some sort of interaction between organisms. This can be described as symbiosis, a Greek rooted word meaning “living together”. Symbiosis entails the many relationships an organism can have with another organism; the one that is most beneficial to this essay would be mutualism. Mutualism is an interaction between two or more organisms where both/all organisms are benefited. Sea anemones and anemone fish have great mutualistic relationships such as how the sea anemones use their tentacles to protect the anemone fish away from predators while the anemone fish protect the sea anemones from butterflyfish. Even though animals may consume each other, they still help one another by...

...with the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, there were also other trials throughout the century across colonial New England. It is important to look at some of these other trials also in order to see their cultural and historical impacts. The impacts are often overlooked because all of the attention tends to be put towards the Salem trials. One trial in particular, the 1669 trial of Katherine Harrison, is interesting to look at because of its particular circumstances. Although the essays by two respected historians, Jane Kamensky and Carol Karlsen, never address the trial specifically both seem to offer explanations for Katherine Harrison’s particular witchcraft circumstances. In order to fully compare the accuracy of their explanations to her situation a few things need to be addressed. First off there shall be a brief history of witchcraft in New England, then a clear description of the case against Katherine. Following that there shall be a summary of the historians’ individual viewpoints from their essays. Then finally, and most importantly, is the evidence of why Karlsen and Kamensky have explanatory power in the Harrison case. Witchcraft trials started around 1648 in New England and were fueled by the strong faith of the Puritans. The Puritans, a devout religious group, believed that Satan was an angel who had turned against god, and that witches had been possessed by Satan. In turn, accusations typically arose from social tensions between neighbors and often times targeted...

...Sanders Essay 1. Sander’s essay describes not only describes the hardship it is being a male from a non-privileged background. Not only because of the gloom it brought and the very narrow career choices but the stigma a man in general has to fight his whole life because of men who come from privileged and powerful homes. I feel the writer is showing his maturation process through words as he grew up. The author had come from such a diverse background and had seen so many different working or social classes as he grew up that when it came to trying to understand a woman’s view on a male driven society it was hard for him comprehend there thought process that men steal life’s best offerings for themselves. Reading and getting visuals of what the author had gone through and been apart of definitely helped me understand his befuddlement. I mean, he had seen slaves, miners, and military veterans who sacrificed their bodies and sometimes their lives just so their wives and children could have food or lives more privileged lives than they had growing up. But as he progressed through life and his education he began to see how the other half lived and the entitlement they felt. The writer didn’t come from that half so how could he change the minds of woman who come from that culture or lifestyle and that’s all they know. 2.

...Persuasive Essay: Young Boys Should Be Involved In Little League Activities (Baseball) COMM/215: Essentials of College English Mrs. Barbara Pleasant, PhD. April 29, 2004 Young Boys Should Be Involved In Little League Activities (Baseball) Young boys should be involved in league sports. Baseball is just one of the sports that little league offers. “Little League Baseball was founded in 1939 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania by Carl Stotz as a baseball program for boys. Little League Baseball is the largest organized youth sports program in the world with 2,900,000 participants on 193,000 teams in 91 countries” (Little League Baseball History). Many professional baseball players started out as a little leaguer in their community. This is where their dream started. Involving young boys in little league baseball would keep the child busy, help the child learn different skills, and help kids that come from single parent homes. Involving young boys in little league baseball would keep them busy in their spare time. Every week the coach schedules practice on different days. This allows the child to prepare for game day. If the parent mentions to the coach that the child is having problems in school, most coaches will tutor the child during practice. If that is more than half the team, then they may even have study time instead of baseball practice. Education is the key to success and it comes first. On game day the child will be ready to show the new skills learned...

...Living with strangers The big city’s has grown bigger in the last decade as a result of the increasing urbanization of the 1800-century’s industrialization. Where the jobs were moved from the countryside to the cities. To live in these big cities with thousands or even millions of other people creates a lot of challenges and problems. Especially when you have, to find out how to relate and react to all these people that you don’t know and never will. In the essay “Living with strangers. New York 2002”, Siri Hustvedt look at these challenges and difficulties there is in the big city life. The text can more or less be divided I three parts. The first part is about Hustvedt history and personal experience. She starts by telling that she comes from a small town where everybody knows everybody and you great every single person you meet whereas in the cities she quickly learned that whit all these people with so different life’s it would be impossible to great everyone. Moreover, it didn’t take long to noughties that there is an unspoken code. “It didn’t take long for me to absorb the unwritten code of survival in this town (…): PRETEND IT ISN’T HAPPENING” She also says that even though she has physical contact with millions of people every day there is no human contact. By starting with, a personal story she quickly gets the reader’s attention and it becomes easier to relate to the text. In the second part of the text, Hustvedt tells examples of this city code “pretend it isn’t...

...Chasidic Judaism Heather Ramirez University of Phoenix/HUM 130 Abstract Judaism is a Jewish religion. In this essay you will read about Judaism and how Chasidics are the most ‘Joyous’ of the Jewish society. There will also be information in this report about Chasidic Judaism and what it means to be Chasidic. When did the Chasidic Movement start, in relation to Judaism? According to Rabbi Novack, when did Judaism begin? What are the three main Holidays in Judaism? How are Bat Mitzvah and a Bar Mitzvah similar, yet so different? Why do they believe so intensely about circumcision? Are Jewish people, the chosen people of God? Comparing Chasidic Judaism to Christianity? Let us start to explore the world, and find out what Chasidic Judaism is all about. The Start of Judaism Judaism started when Moses went up to the Mount of Sinai after leading God’s people out of Egypt. According to Rabbi Novack (personal communication 2009) ‘this occurs when God gave Moses the Ten Commandments and the Torah for the Jewish people to follow.’ Since Pharaoh would not release God’s people they would endure the seven plagues. The passage in the Torah Mosheh 2: Shemot /שׁמות is the same as in the Christian Bible; Exodus Chapter 12. The list of the Seven Great Plagues as listed on Bibleplus that allowed the Hebrews to leave Egypt is as follows but ten actually occurred: 1. The plague of blood 2. The plague of frogs 3. The plague of gnats 4. The plague of flies (God makes a distinction...

...Creationism vs. Evolutionism The quandary continues of whether or not creationism should be taught as an alternative viewpoint to the theory of evolution within the American public school systems. If scientific creationists believe that God's message is the defining element for the content, aims, and conditions of educational practice, then the argument can be made that creationism belongs in the classroom. On the contrary are those who assert creationism is not science and further suggests that "creation science" is a misnomer and oppose religion into public educational programs. They maintain the position that public educational programs should be made separate from concerns of the church. Fundamentalist Christians differ from liberal Christians with respect to the basic theories to how life began. Liberal Christians mold their lives around the theory of evolution; forging their spiritual doctrine around their lifestyle, where as fundamentalist Christians remain faith based; life created by God and their lifestyle strictly follows biblical doctrine. Those who side with the theory of Darwin and claim that creationism is really anti-science are in direct conflict with adamant creationists; and somewhere among these groups are a third group, scientific creationists, who use scientific terminology to prove that only life can come from other life. During the 1960’s the United States began an initiative to catch up with newer science teaching standards which...

...Session 1.3: The Evolution of Cellular Life Exam review view in a separate window In this session we focus on the natural history of cells and the evolutionary timelines of their appearance. The modern phylogenetic classification of domains is used to categorize the different types of cells: bacteria, archea, and eukarya. The names of periods and organisms and certain dates are often helpful in remembering or understanding events that occur in the natural history of evolution. However, we do not expect you to know the names of all organisms mentioned nor all dates (you may find some of the sound attachments on complicated figures useful for review). Those names and dates mentioned below are the ones to key on. The focus in this session is macroevolution which looks broadly at the time lines and changes over long intervals of time. Remember that small changes over millions of years are the framework for evolving complexity from simplicity. Summary of concepts and idea An initial step in covering this material is an understanding of the different types of cells (prokaryotic, eukaryotic animal and plant), their differences, and their place in the phylogeny of life. 1. Information from pre-class reading, Bioflix animations and briefly summarized in class discusses the fundamental components of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. You need to know the differences and understand the basic functions of the cellular components as cells as they are the fundamental...
