Twenty First Century Twentieth Century
1,110 words
Poised motionless near the back door of the
twentieth-century, we ponder memories of the past
with a daydreaming stare. Before we turn off the
lights and lock the doors of the
twentieth-century, we take one last look through
the century in which we were nurtured and our
world lived for so long. The deep engraved
scratches upon the walls of the twentieth century
serve to jog our national memory to painful events
as well as amazing accomplishments. After much
reflective thought, we began to grasp ...

Computers On The Other Hand Back To Back Human
428 words
I'm sitting down at a computer that has very vast
capabilities. It is capable of almost any
application, but it being only the size of my
history textbook, leaves it fragile and
vulnerable. With a few light slams, or the pass of
a powerful magnet, it's very existence could be
destroyed. Ancient times suggest not only survival
of the fittest, but also survival of the smartest.
Long ago the dinosaurs went extinct leaving many
of the bigger brained mammals the dominant
species. Then the larger brai...

Blue Light Significant Difference

The Effects of Various Wavelengths on
Photosynthetic Rate Photosynthesis is the process
by which autotrophic organisms convert light
energy to chemical energy in the form of glucose [
1 ]. Without this process life on earth would be
very different because every organism directly or
indirectly depends on photosynthesis. Because
plants are at the bottom of the food chain they
must create their own energy; this is done through
photosynthesis. Various pigments located through
out the leaves and stem...

U S News Amp World Amp World Report

Cloning is the process of taking cells from a
donor, placing them in a culture dish where the
nutrients are minimal, so the cells stop dividing
and switch their "active genes." The cells are
then put next to an unfertilized egg. The nucleus
is sucked out of the egg leaving an empty egg cell
containing all the cellular machinery necessary to
produce an embryo. An electric shock is used to
fuse the egg and cell together. A second shock is
then used to mimic the act of fertilization and
help begin ...

Wilmut And Dr Cystic Fibrosis

The first thing that must be cleared up is what is
cloning, and what is a clone. A clone is an
organism derived asexually from a single
individual by cuttings, bulbs, tubers, fission, or
parthenogenesis reproduction (" Cloning"
, 1997). Pathogenesis reproduction is the
development of an organism from an unfertilized
ovum, seed or spore (" Pathogenesis" ,
1997). So cloning, biologically speaking, is any
process in which production of a clone is
successful. Therefore, the biolo...

With today s million dollar contracts, athletes
will go to any length to better themselves.
Unfortunately, most of them choose the easy way
out. By using performance enhancing drugs,

competition. That is why, mandatory drug testing

Quality Of Life Freedom To Choose

Free to Live, But Not Free to Die! One of the few
certainties of life is death, but in the twentieth
century it is still a taboo subject. The forbidden
nature of death adds to the unnamed fears and
worries that most people feel when asked to
confront the idea of their own death. Yet once
people can overcome their reluctance to discuss
the subject, most often what is revealed is not
the fear of death itself, but the manner of dying.
The difficulty of thinking about death with
dignity is that it i...

Nick Carraway Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a
novel I have read many times and will probably
read again many more times. It is my favorite
novel. Although this book takes place in the Jazz
Age it could easily be taking place today. The
Great Gatsby along with its themes are timeless.
Money and morals and whether you have them or don?
t are dominating themes in this novel. Daisy and
Tom Buchanan live a life of extreme decadence.
They have a beautiful mansion, high status in
society, and all thing...

It is often said that science fiction is the
literature of change. When a culture is undergoing
a lot of changes due to scientific advances and
technological developments, and expects to undergo
more (Treitel 1). A large part of science fiction
appeal lies in its ability to convince the
audience of the believability of the world it
portrays (Fuller 1). Science fiction looks
backward as much as forward and its usefulness
lays not so much in predicting the actual future
as in exploring our reactio...

Romeo And Juliet Love For Juliet
1,941 words
The older generation of people in the play can be
contrasted with the two young lovers. The lovers
portray themselves as rash and impulsive who are
filled deeply with emotions. Their elders, on the
other hand, have experienced more in life and are
probably wiser, thus they see things from a
different angle. This leads to the elders not
understanding the feelings of Romeo and Juliet,
hence causing conflicts, misunderstandings and
pain to arise. The older generation in this play
refer to Romeo and...

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry Leaves Of Grass

Forged in the fire of revolution and defined by
manifest destiny, America has always been the land
of the individual. Although the American dream has
not always been consistent, (married with 2. 5
kids, 2 cars, a dog and a satisfying job), the
spirit of innovation, individuality and progress
remains unchanged. The father of free verse, and
perhaps the American perspective of poetry, Walt
Whitman embodies these values in his life and
work. First published in 1855 in Leaves of Grass,

X And Y Vitro Fertilization

Sex Preselection For many years, mankind has
wondered how to choose the sex of a child before
its birth for which countless myths, folk
remedies, and magic potions have been offered as a
solution. None of these methods were based on
scientific evidence. However, in recent years
gender selection has been made possible through
advances such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis
using biopsy methods combined with in vitro
