...Militaries are comprised of soldiers, characteristic of befitting the armed forces or the nation and are called “the army” collectively. Science is knowledge, general truths or particular facts, obtained and shown to be correct by accurate observation and thinking. When science is focused on the military, it is known as “military science”. How was military science developed? It is obvious that it is invented to fight against others and causes an opposition, which is called “War”. War is a conflict by force of arms between political bodies, the science or art of arms but also a terrible way to express a nation’s decisions or position. As we can observe that war directly pertains to military science, it is clear that wars are fought because of competition between nations in military science and the military science is improved because of wars. World War I and World War II are the biggest and most deadly wars so far between human beings; therefore they clearly support this statement. War World I was happened between 1914- 1919, and was fought between two group of power, Central Powers and Allies. The Central Powers were made of Austria- Hungry, Bulgaria, Ottoman and Germany; the Allies were formed by Britain, France, and Russia. They grouped together because of fear of militarism, imperialism and the ideas of nationalism. As Dr. James West Davidson states “Nationalism encourages unity, it also created mistrust and bitter rivalry between European nations”; “Imperialism...

...Menzies studied at the University of Edinburgh from 1771 to 1780, studying medicine, chemistry, and botany. In 1782, Menzies joined the Royal Navy as an assistant surgeon. He first arrived in Canada at Halifax in 1784. While there he collected botanical samples and sending them back to the Royal Botanic Gardens in London, England. (Stearn 1988) In 1786, Menzies traveled to the pacific coast on a fur-trading venture as surgeon to the Prince of Wales by recommendation of Sir Joseph Banks, the most influential supporter of science in Britain. The ship arrived in the pacific in 1787, where Menzies spent a month collecting samples, then returned to Britain the same year. Archibald Menzies did not spend much of his life in Canada, but traveled the world collecting about 400 different species new to science, most of them from Vancouver Island. Menzies served in the navy until in 1802 he was forced to resign due to asthma. Thereafter, Menzies practiced medicine up until his retirement in 1826 (Stearn 1988). Menzies may not have experienced significant events in Canadian history, but may have heard them through news. Archibald Menzies died in 1842, a year after the union of Upper and Lower Canada brought fourth by the Act of Union. Menzies was married, but had no...

There are many defining characteristics that allow countries and groups of countries to understand each other, and in some cases, for unions. The purpose of this essay is to briefly discuss nations, states, and nation states, how the United States constitutes a nation state, and the European Union. A nation is a union of people who share social similarities such as language, beliefs, culture, possibly religion, and values. A state is defined by laws and politics, uniting people by geography, population, and government. The modern nation-state is more of a combination of nation and state and is defined as “a single or multiple nationalities joined together in a formal political union” (What is a Nation-State, N.D.). Basically, a nation-state makes the general regulations for large decisions such as what language the general population will speak, what form of currency will be accepted, and...

...Throughout time, there have always been attempts to use science to justify killing, pillaging, and genocide. These justifications are generally completely false and based on nothing more than hypothesis. However, people still believed these justifications and, in some cases, they are still used today to discriminate against people. This stems partially from the civil war era and the debate as to whether there really are more than one species of human. The civil war was largely triggered by southern plantation owners who didn’t want to give up their slaves. These slaves were of African descent, and many southerners regarded them as having less rights than white folk. During the civil war, there was a lot of debate about the science behind race...

...progressed through science and technology. Today science has made the impossible things possible. He had reached on the moon. He had made difficult works easy through technology. Science and technology have made the life safe, secure and comfortable. Today we are totally depended on science whether it is inside or outside the home. Now we can enjoy every second of our life through them. Technology have totally changed the field of entertainment. Now we can entertain ourselves through computers, Games, TV and so on. Electric light, Air conditioner, fan, and all the electronic gadgets are all gift of science. We can enjoy cold coffee, mango shakes, cold drinks during summer season through refreigeratos. All these things are possible through science and technology. Today travelling have become very fast. We can travel a long distance in minutes through aeroplanes. All this is possible through science. The railway is the another way of comfort travelling. Cars, buses, scooters are other means of travelling which we use day and night. These things made our life trouble free. It is all the wonder of science. Modern world is more and more dependent on them. It is said that "Science is a good and useful servant but it is a bad destructive master." I am saying this thing because today we are misusing it. Today atomic energy is used for war and fight purpose. Why we are not using it for peaceful purposes? Our aim should be constructive not destructive. Today we are using science and its knowledge...

...How are the thoughts and feelings presented in the extract from Origin of the Species? Compare to War of the Worlds. The extract from Darwin’s Origin of Species – ‘Recapitulation and Conclusion’ – presents Darwin’s final ideas of Natural Selection and to convince and challenge the scientific community, as well as the general population due to the religious controversy. Similarly to Darwin’s extract, the novel ‘The War of the Worlds’ by H. G. Wells also challenges traditional thinking and presents ideas of Natural Selection. However, indicates a sense of fear and shock at the rate of changing opinions which are presented through language, structure and form. Both the extract and the novel present ideas of change in the fields of science and religion. Darwin presents the idea that science is much more powerful than originally thought. Although, does not dismiss religion, therefore creating a balanced argument, which makes his theologies more accepted by the readers. ‘…not as special creations, but lineal the descendants…’ This quote is representative of Darwin’s controversial ideas as he is disagreeing with past assumptions by suggesting a limit to God’s power – ‘not as special creations...’, highlighting that man or God has...

...Teylor Young Religion 223 – Xtra Credit Faith v. Religion In everyday life we experience many internal conflicts and crisis. These crises often manifest themselves as moral dilemmas and are a part of being human. But the question that arises is what causes us to handle ourselves the way we do in those situations. Some people might say faith, but the true answer is our beliefs. That is why we seem to be at an all time low in morality, we are having a crisis of belief. Most people believe that faith is what holds us together, and our beliefs are just a guide. However, it is our culture and the sets of meanings people share that mediate our experiences with one another along with the combination of these experiences which our behind our religion. Our beliefs are a reflection of our culture and this becomes obvious when we observe other cultures. Saudi Arabia, for example has a very different belief system than the United States and these religious beliefs are function of their faith and culture combined. As their culture changes, their beliefs, too, many change. As the sets of meanings people share change, their beliefs will follow. In a religious aspect the difference between faith and belief is easy to see if you go to church the week before Christmas and then Christmas day and look at the difference in the number of people. The regulars who give of themselves one day a week for God truly believe in God, those who show up for Holy Days more than likely have faith. Not to sound...

...Science and technology have great influence in human life since their inception. A lot of technological advancements have been taking place day by day, and which clearly reflect on peoples life styles both positively and negatively.This essay focuses on some pros and cons of technological advancements, and asserts the need of reducing the precarious outcome of it for the rise of a risk free society in future. Technology is considered to be the one,is developed to reduce the effort of people.Which provides countless visible advantages for human beings. It is conspicuous that from paper clips to ultra-modern space crafts work on the principles of science and technology. Moreover,people are much relay on the benefits of this and a life with out computers, vehicles and other tech-applications is unable to imagine.Thus it is obvious that, now the human life runs with the beats of these advancements. However,at the same pace technology brings some threats to people.For instance,the inventions of weapons especially nuclear war gadgets are extremely dangerous for the existence of the entire life forms on earth. In addition to that, an increased use of motor vehicles causes the contamination of our ecosystem, and thereby which directs certain problems such as global warming and unsteady climates.So the in appropriate application of these advancements will lead us to tremendous problems. To my mind, the appropriate use of technology by taking the positive effects and by ignoring...

...was the first to apply the principles of psychology to problems in organizations (Spector, 2012). As these researchers have improved they have reached a lot more organizations in the century of today. Hugo Munsteberg and Walter Dill Scott where the two experimental psychologist whom started and have applied problems of organizations to psychology. These men where interested in the same thing in the research process of I/O psychology. World War I was the beginning of I/O psychology to assist the war. Another event that I/O psychology helped was Civil Rights Act of 1964 which helped to improve the hiring and treatment of employees (Spector, 2012). I/O psychology also helped discrimination against women and minorities in the workplace. I/O psychology also helped to improve organizations and work conditions for employees. This kind of psychology has also help with the right of men and women of the United States that has also helped the workplace. 2.

...In its broadest meaning of 'knowledge', science enters the life of even the most primitive human being, who knows the safe from the poisonous berry, who has stored up some rudimentary IDEAS about building a hut, sharpening a spear, and fishing in the river. this knowledge, or accumulation of experience, distinguishes man from the animal which has to rely on instinct. Yet, for most people 'science' means a number of abstract subject such as physics, chemistry, biology and mechanics, to quote a few, which HAVE TO be learnt as part of 'education', yet which seem to have little bearing on everyday living. How wrong this is. Our way o life is completely dependent on science and its fruits surround us on all sides. The Renaissance first taught man to realize the value of scientific progress, but it was not until the 18th century that the Industrial Revolution in the West really showed the impact science could have on living through developments in land-tillage, commercial production, transportation, and the beginning of THE SUPPLY of mass-produced consumer goods. Until about 1920, progress was steady but in the last 45 years, the process of applying of science to the needs of living has accelerated enormously. This has been proportionate to the rate of scientific discovery itself. Today, there is available an enormous RANGE OF consumer goods from the simple frying-pan to the jet plane, from the alarm-clock to the computer. All these things serve to make life easier and more pleasant...

...Research Paper “The Birthmark” focuses on our desire to conquer science to achieve perfection. Science is “a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws.” (Dictionary.com) Perfection is “a quality, trait, or feature of the highest degree of excellence. In such a technologically advanced world, science must exist in order to achieve perfection. In psychology, self consciousness and the pursuit of happiness drives people to be “perfect”. Modern media plays a big role by setting high social standards that impose on modern day society. “Women’s magazines are full of articles urging that if they can just lose those last twenty pounds, they’ll have it all—the perfect marriage, loving children, great sex, and a rewarding career.” (Beauty and Body1) The media exemplify celebrities as perfect role models, portraying to the public that everyone in society should look a certain way. “Usually we strive toward being perfect to compensate for a sense of inadequacy.” (Schwartz 1) “In our culture we move relentlessly toward greater emphasis on achievement and goal orientation.” (Schwartz 1) In society our appearance and achievement are judged by our peers and coworkers. The fear of being ostracized leads to self-consciousness and a sense of inadequacy creating a need for personal change. Through observation people have learned that in some cases changing their appearance help them in their pursuit...

...In order for science to continually advance, scientists performed experiments. The field of medicine is doing the same thing. Human experimentation has been done not only in the past, but also in the present. Examples are those human experimentation done by the Nazis to the Jewish people during the Holocaust, the Tuskegee syphilis study done by the Americans before World War 2, and the Willowbrook hepatitis study done by the doctors to the mentally disabled children. These experiments are done supposedly to find answers on how the human body responds to certain conditions or illnesses. Although the researchers claimed that it was for the sake of science, people rejected them because it was unethical, sadistic, and worst – monstrous. Human experimentation since then has take on different forms nowadays. The question remains, are we for or against it?...
