...Personal Statement As a future biology graduate from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical University, I would love to apply for the Lab Technician internship position for Piper Clinical Solutions. My intrigue in biology dates back to my freshman year of high school. I remember sitting in my science class, captivated by the way my teacher taught science. The passion that she had for science heavily inspired and encouraged me to pursue a career in biology, specifically genetics. My interest in genetic research stems from a desire to continuously learn about myself and others, on a deeper biological level. My motivation throughout my college experience has been mainly to help people, but I was never sure of how I could do that. I find that genetics provides an exhilarating and significant aspect of research, which can be used to diagnose, treat, or prevent various illnesses. Furthermore, I would like to explore my interests by applying for this summer internship at Piper Clinical Solutions, to assist me in determining the extent to which my skills and interests are suited to this professional environment....

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the Problem Education has been very important through the ages and it can be defined as an organized and sustained instruction designed to communicate a combination of knowledge, skill and understanding valuables for all activities of life. Numerous groups during this century have identified what they believe the goals of education should be. One of the most widely cited reports is that of the commission on the reorganization of secondary education which in 1918 stated the goals of education as the seven cardinal principles: health, command of fundamental processes, worthy home membership, vocation, citizenship, worthy use of leisure and ethical conduct. Although neither science nor any of the other school subjects was included as one of the seven principles, the role and importance of science in achieving the seven cardinal principles is obvious. The world is fast becoming scientific in thinking and behaviors that without good knowledge of science, it might be difficult for people to adequately function in it. The purpose of exposing children to science instruction right from primary school level is not necessarily to turn them into scientist per se but to provide favorable scientific attitudes of ‘finding out’ and ‘hands-on‘ and to enable them raise questions about things that intrigue them. In a study on the impact of science on the society, Bertrand & Russell (1952) have shown that our time is an age of science. Science...

...believing that mankind's capacity for moral reasoning is a result of natural selection pressure and that most ancient moral laws have an evolutionary basis, I believe that describing the genesis of moral reasoning in this way provides no information about the content of our moral beliefs now. While our capacity for moral reasoning may have evolved for the purpose of informing our otherwise unjustifiable acts with a sense of objective certitude, it is not hard to imagine that this capacity, once evolved, would be capable of much more than simply rubber stamping mankind's collective genetic predisposition. In this paper, I will use the example of an evolutionary explanation against intentional killing for personal gain to argue for the existence of a disconnect between evolutionary biology and ethics. Ruse and Wilson might argue that human beings evolved with a genetic predisposition against murder for convenience. It is easy to see how this might be true. A person who kills others for convenience must live apart from society and apart from potential mates or else must be killed by society. This epigenetic rule �predisposes us to think that certain courses of action are right and certain courses of action are wrong (180).� These motivate ethical premises which �are the peculiar products of genetic history� and can �be...

...Factors in the Performance of Biology Subject in Secondary Schools in Eldoret Municipality, Kenya Wabuke Joy Mukhwana Chepkoilel University College, Department of Science Education, P. O. Box 1125-30100, Eldoret, Kenya. ___________________________________________________________________________ Abstract This paper focuses on the student-related factors that influence performance of students in Biology in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education in Eldoret municipality. The study was conducted through an ex-post facto design. A total of ten secondary schools were sampled. Target respondents were Form Three students and teachers of Biology (those teaching Form Three) within the municipality. The study sample (which was made up of 225 respondents; 200 students and 25 teachers) was obtained using stratified sampling. Simple random sampling was then used to choose the streams and particular students who participated in the study. Purposive sampling was used to obtain only the students who study Biology. The data was collected using questionnaires, observations and interviews and analysed using statistical package for social science (SPSS) computer programme. The results were presented using descriptive and inferential statistics. It was established that student-related factors affecting performance of Biology in Eldoret Municipality are: primary school Science which provides a requisite background for Biology at secondary school level; interest in Biology (theory and practical) provides...

...With reference to two areas of knowledge discuss the way in which shared knowledge can shape personal knowledge. “How do we know what we know?” That is the question epistemology rotates around, and the best way to describe what the theory of knowledge is. This question has been studied since the era of the ancient Greeks and still is being discussed today. As we dealt with this question in TOK class, I began to wonder how shared knowledge may shape my own and others’ personal knowledge. There is a clear correlation between shared knowledge and personal knowledge seeing as one shapes the other, which can be seen through the different ways of knowing. As straightforward as this sounds, this topic is far more complex, since there are different manners this can occur. Both an engaged biology student and a music/art enthusiast, I chose to analyze the natural sciences and the arts as they show differences in their knowledge framework and creation of knowledge decidedly. How reliant is the shared knowledge we use everyday in the context of these two AoKs? In the arts emotion, sense perception, and reason; shared knowledge can shape the personal knowledge of an audience in a consistent manner and according to the TOK curriculum the arts “encompass the creative production of humans with the purpose to explore the experience of being human”. But why do we enjoy what we enjoy? Artistic knowledge is received by the audience through sense perception and evaluated with...

...Are people born to be bad? I think that this statement summed up this week's area of concern on the topic "Biology and Misbehaviour". From my personal understanding prior to the class, I have always thought that any misbehaviours are usually trigger or due to the situational factors such as poor family upbringing, peer pressure, social norms and other environmental factors. This could be due my belief that people are kind in nature gathered from the first verse of a Chinese Classic text, Three Character Classic. After the discussion on the topic, I have gain a new perception on the cause or reasons that misconduct is not only attributed by situational factors but complemented by individual factors. From the readings, case presentation and class discussion, I have gain a deeper insight into three correlations between biological traits and misbehaviour, On top of that, I have also gain knowledge of how situational factors influence the correlation of the two. They are discussed in the lesson includes the correlations between physical appearance (biological) and misbehaviour, personality traits (biological) and misbehaviour, and cognitive ability (Biological) and misbehaviour. Firstly, for the physical appearance, from reading the article "Ugly Criminals", I have learnt that there is a positive correlation between being ugly looking (from the perspective of the social norm) and higher tendency in committing crime. In the study, it shows that respondents that are considered...
