...Anthony Giroux Although the future seems hopeless after reading this book, Fear Nothing actually supports the idea of a positive future for mankind. The animals in the story are all very intelligent. Communication with animals may be easier. The things scientists are able to do and come up with are increasing. The intelligence the animals show in this book provides a positive outlook. The monkeys, although they cause a lot of trouble and chaos, are very intelligent. They take the cameras from Chris, and they nearly kill everyone. If the intelligence could be somehow turned into good, then the future with monkeys would be very bright. Orson, Chris’s dog, also shows a lot of intelligence. He knows and remembers where the jar in the back yard is, and he puts any fears aside to save Chris from the fire. The future for dogs looks very bright as well. This story shows that communication with animals may be easier. Roosevelt Frost can communicate in a way with animals, and understand them better than the average person. He has the ability to read and interpret their thoughts in a new way. Chris, although he doesn’t have that power, can understand Orson very well. The understanding of animals is increasing, and this book provides a bright outlook for humanity. The things the scientists were able to do in this book were fascinating. They created their own animals, and they created a virus. The future of science is looking good. The story actually...

...was called the cosmos, to distinguish it from chaos or disorder. The study of the cosmos was known as Cosmogony or Cosmology. The popular references now are to space and space sciences. Space is a wholly natural phenomenon and cannot either be created or destroyed by mankind, while the space sciences are evolved by talented scientists, a part of mankind. The observable universe has a diameter of 25 billion light years and the number of galaxies it contains is still uncertain. Theories of space also differ, and these are based on the flight of galaxies. Outer space is infinite; in fact it is so vast that the usual terrestrial units of measurement hardly suit its dimensions. The new units of measurement evolved by scientists are Light Years and the Astronomical Unit. It is well known that light and sound are the two principal media through which we gather our impressions of the external world. The study of space and of outer space is, of course, not the common man's cup of tea, but the interests of mankind are deeply involved when space is put to certain uses, not all of which are peaceful. The use of space for civilian flights within a country and for the worldwide air services which have brought mankind and continents closer than they ever were and which have established means of communication unimagined by man even a few decades ago. In a matter of hours a...

...The Downfall or Making Mankind The stem cell controversy has ignited great debate around the world. The mere subject makes people stand in arms or profess its place in science. Scientists proclaim that the stem cell is the most powerful cell in the human body. The stem cell has the ability to morph into any other type of human cell. In most religions, stem cell research has been viewed as playing God. The belief that unwanted embryos are being used and the dreaded words “legalizing abortions” in order to obtain stem cells has reviled people worldwide. While politicians in the United States have based their platform for stem cell research for a cure, or attempting to legalize abortions countrywide, is very broad and a very narrow path because of the promises of science to cure all. The religious downfall that we may be playing God, and the constant bantering from our politicians about it is the right thing, and the wrong thing. Scientists have long argued over the leaps and bounds that were made from stem cell research. The history of stem cell research had a compassionate, embryonic beginning in the mid-eighteen hundreds with the discovery that some blood cells could generate other cells within the human body. In the early nineteen hundreds European researchers realized that the various types of blood cells came from a certain “stem cell.” In 1963, the first true study of stem cell renewal took hold when Canadian researchers discovered self-renewing cells in transplanted...

...A Woman’s Role In Mankind Since the beginning of mankind and the early records of literature it has always been man that has been superior over women. Many see women as supporters of man and consider them naturally weaker than men. After reading and analyzing the early literatures of The Hebrew Bible and The Epic Of Gilgamesh I believe there is more to a women’s part in history than it appears. Whether it is for better or for worse it is apparent that women have played a key role in shaping the future of man. In genesis, the story of Eve has given men reasons to suppress women. Eve, although a women she played a vital part in the story. Eve was fist to be tempted by the serpent and the first to sin. It was the woman who was deceived. She could be identified as a temptress to Adam, the one you persuaded him to commit sin. This is why the role that Eve plays is similar to that of the serpent. In any case her part was not for the better of man. It portrays women as sinister and evil. In the story it justified that women are guilty for the misery that mankind had to suffer. In literature women did not always play as evil individuals that held back the potential of man. In The Epic of Gilgamesh it shows that women can be powerful with the ability to influence men with their delicacy and intellect. In the epic women represents not only power but also great wisdom. The Priestess Shamhat, the temple herlot is an example of that. She was able to tame the wild man, Enkidu. She used...

...Cool and calm the day was, Rains had just receded, I went for a short walk, For the freshness of air my body needed. Off i set to the nearby locality, It was full of the verdure, The hush greenery and the perfect atmosphere, Were loved by the human for sure. Romanced with the nature, The men, birds and animals alike, In the midst of the refreshing garden, Flowers were taking on the gentle air's strike. I moved ahead and stopped, Then held my head up, A very peculiar scene struck my eyes, Should i call it man and God's mix-up? Two peacocks on the roof tops, Of a common house which now stands divided, Rarely will one find those birds, In a place like this, which they totally avoided. Bewildered of the situation I was, Went to one of the house, Rang the bell gently, Out came a man together with his spouse. I introduced myself, so did they, Then I continued with my dismay, Peacocks as pets, are they? Was my first doubt, and their faces went gray. 'Yes' was their abrupt reply, Trying to hide the fact, That peacocks were denied the freedom, Their rights were no more intact. Calmly I continued with my dilemma, Calmly did they answer hence, We were two brothers, Who are now separated by hearts and this fence. It was indeed, but not only the ground, The roof also stands parted, And what about the fate of the peacocks? Now my curiosity...

...Christopher Niemann Monica Hatch Eng. 100-001 June18, 2013 Reflective Essay Altruism: Proof that Mankind is Good Is mankind good by nature or is it a learned behavior? My purpose is to argue that mankind is good by nature. My research source for this will be Natalie Angier’s article on altruism. The title of the article is “Of Altruism, Heroism and Nature’s Gifts in the Face of Terror” as it discusses the desire to give and to sacrifice for sake of others. Natalie Angier is noted to be one of the premier science writers in the United States. She has received awards/recognitions for her research and has published many articles related to on science writing (50). If mankind is capable of having altruism as part of their genetic makeup, it is clear that mankind would then be good by nature. Altruism can be defined as an impulse. An impulse is a reaction to a situation, not a learned response to a situation. Pure altruism is giving without regard to reward or the benefits of recognition. . One example of this is noted in a paragraph in the above mentioned article on altruism. Angier’ talks about this as she wrote about the last of the four hijacked planes on September 11, 2001. It reads “as the last of four hijacked planes advances toward an unknown but surely populated destination, passengers huddle together and plot resistance against their captors, an act that may explain why the plane fails to reach its target, crashing instead into an empty field outside...

...Through ages, mankind has lived for centuries; through the time of peace of the golden age, to the darkest years of chaotic wars. Even on to this very day, evil ambition courses through our veins during our daily lives. Is it possible that we as mankind are inherently evil? Thomas Hobbies suggested: “that human being always act egoistically” (Williams, n.d.). Although might one say that man is only evil when expose to such unfortunate environment. Such as today, were violent is shown everywhere on the media, therefore corrupting one’s mind to do deviant deeds. However, in the Amish community where there are no media, no electronics that will expose them with temptation and isolated from the outside world but their small community, and evil ambitions still rages on by the cause of man’s natural emotions and their instinct to abide to their fulfillment. Therefore, Mankind’s is Inherently Evil, by the cause of one’s instinct to react to a certain situation by their emotions....

...hiThere are things you remember. But so many more things that you forget. You remember disagreements, you remember arguments over the silliest of things. You forget kindness. You forget smiles in the morning. You forget artifacts of acts of love until they’re staring you in the face in your apartment. Your apartment. Two words that at one time you imagined to be so empowering, but are now so debilitating. You think back to years ago, carrying boxes, sweat streaming down your back, a smile on your face. You think back to soft debates about the decorations, where you ended up with too many pictures on the wall. Now, those places where she has removed the pictures feel like an abyss. Black holes in your apartment for your heart to rummage in when it’s not with you. You see remnants throughout your apartment of your lives together. A decorated coffee cup. Beads from early on. A book, that was a birthday present. And its wrapping- a map with cassette tape as its ribbon- both things touching two of your loves. You pause. You move past them in the same way that you try to move on. But you come back. You grab a necklace of beads like a rosary and fall to your knees to pray. Your prayer comes out as whimpers, personal and silent. You’re not sure if G-d is listening, but you can’t help but think he does. Every now and then. Not for his sake, but for...

...The Interaction: Animals Behavior and Mankind Have you ever gone to the zoo and wondered, “What is that animal thinking about? What really is goes on when we are aren’t here staring at them for hours?” The perception people have of modern day zoos is that they are there to save species, protect them from the real world, and just think they are happy as ever. Well if one were to sit down and do some research they would see that they have some much more ethical questions to ask themselves next time they walked into a zoo. But one thing one may not notice is that animals can react differently in their exhibit depending on who is outside the glass watching them. Males or females, old or young, animal’s behavior can be observed as different and the question becomes why? In many human-animal interactions, men and woman interact with animals similar. But when it comes to the protection, involvement, and overall care for the animal’s well being, woman have a greater impact than men. Gender differences can be deemed large in the animal’s behavior according to psychologist, Harold Herzog. This then raises an interesting question: When in captivity, are we compromising the animal’s welfare by not confronting the behavioral and psychological changes based on gender differences? Animal rights are the idea that animals essentially have the same rights as humans. They should be able to live free of suffrage, just like any human and with the same moral status as well. In 1966 the Animal...

...The Apollo Missions The Apollo missions were not just "one small leap for man, one giant leap for mankind", they were a millstone in the history and capabilities of science, and no manned mission since has rivaled their audacity. The Apollo missions successfully saw human being land on the moon and return back to earth. The scientists and Astronauts that worked on the mission had to answer the questions of how to get to the moon, how to get back, how to do it cost effective, and how to do it safely. They were not only motivated by the significance of the first human being ever to walk on a land not on this earth, but also a desire to show the United States scientific power and dominance over the rest of the world and especially Russia,...

Golding adds into the theme on how easily a society can collapse, how twisted it can be , and self-destruction of society.

...The world-wide web has enabled mankind to find information quickly without the necessity of having an intellectual foundation for it. As a result of the invention of the internet, information that would have taken hours to months to discover before now only takes a matter of seconds. This is wonderful for mankind because it means that extra effort is no longer required to find the answers to their questions. Technology immensely benefits mankind, however, it is also detrimental because it causes mankind to become lethargic due to the lack of essential effort to discover information. “Is Google Making Students Stupid?” is an article composed by Nick Romeo that reflects upon how technology can be both beneficial and detrimental to society....

...mythical being that created the world by using mud from earth. I feel that the earth’s creation myths are distinctly different based on the creation of the earth, the creation of mankind, and the relationship between the creator and its/ their creations. When looking at the creation of the earth, there are many factor that come into play to determine that the earth’s creation myths are different. While reading “In The Beginning” a book written by Virginia Hamilton, there were creation myths that was referenced one titled Phan Ku the creator, and the other tilted Earth Starter the creator. In the creation myth of Phan Ku, the earth was created by a being chiseled/carved out by Phan Ku. The creation of the earth that is displayed in the story of Phan Ku differs from the earth’s creation myth of Earth Starter the creator. The creation of earth in the myth of Earth Starter was displaying that the earths was created by taking mud from under some sort of river/ and or ocean, and from that mud became earth. The creation of earth is one that is different among the cultures that have beliefs in the creation on earth. When you look at the creation myths behind the creation mankind, there many story as to how mankind was created, while looking at the creation myths of Phan Ku’s and Earth Starter’s theory as to how mankind was created, there are major difference...

...food and water (C. Sorley, 2011). As followers of Christ there should be more emphasis placed on the protection and care of God’s creation. A worldview of Gods creation encompasses thoughts pertaining to the natural world, human identity, human relationships and civilization all in relation to the impact on mankind. Human Identity Genesis teaches God created humanity to rule over creation. It teaches us how God gave specific instructions to Adam concerning the tree of life. Even today the bible is a guide on how to live a righteous life, yet Christians only apply certain scriptures related to how they want to live. The sinful act of Adam and Eve has been passed down through the generations. Sin causes us to turn inward. Mankind seeks to do the things that are pleasing to self and not the things which are pleasing to God. The consequences of Adam’s fall brought sin into the world. It caused God to cast them from the Garden of Eden. Sin became rampart among mankind, with a heavy emphasis on arrogance and pride as demonstrated when man tried to build the Tower of Babel to reach the heavens. Even when God could have destroyed everyone, he remained committed to saving mankind. While in our sinful nature, God sent...
