Nature will never lie to you or leave you and only after being completely engulfed in the hands of nature can you realize that modern civilization is filled with contagious impurities that once erased by nature’s touch reveal a cleaner better version of…

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a production of ''The Diviners,'' on Sunday, March the Nineteenth. The performance was put on by the Calhoun Community College theatre department. The play was staged in the black box theatre of The Alabama Center for the Arts in Decatur, Alabama. It was an impressive performance especially when considering the size and arrangement of the stage. Even with such limitations, the cast were able to turn the stage into a window into prohibition era Indiana.…
Genetically modified food is a controversial subject some see it as the future of agriculture others see it as dangerous. Michael Pollan author of “Playing God in the Garden” addresses that in his essay in one paragraph, in particular, he claims that “Uncertainty is the theme that unifies much of the criticism leveled against biotech agriculture by scientist and environmentalists.” Pollan believes that people are opposed to biotech agriculture because so much about it remains unknown. He chose to support his claim with different examples and by using the STARR criteria I can evaluate how effectively he supported his claim. The S means sufficiency the evidence that the author offered to support this claims is enough; he only uses one extended…
Journalists as Democratic Agents & Keepers of Meaning (The Dewey-Lippmann Debate) “The majority is never right! Never, I say! That’s one of the social lies a free, thinking man is bound to rebel against.…
In “Playing God?” by John Evans, technology is dashing at an erratic speed, and nowhere more so than in the field of genetic engineering where the possibility of changing the genes of one’s children isn’t just myth; but quickly becoming a reality.

He has been a visiting member of the School of Social Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, a post-doctoral fellow at the Robert Wood Johnson Scholars in Health Policy Research Program at Yale University and has held a Visiting Professorial Fellowship at the University of Edinburgh. Evans primary area of expertise is the sociology of religion.…
Useful products are kept out of market for fears of massive lawsuits. People are afraid to make works of art similar to existing pieces, and they are weary to produce an improved idea for fears of backlash. I find this very discouraging, seeing as the world could be a much better place if some of these inventions and innovations came to fruition, but companies would lose profit if they no longer had the best version of their idea. I think that world progress should be a higher priority than company profit, and it is annoying that businesses halt the production of products that can improve people’s lives. I was torn on chapter 6 of Blown to Bits.…
The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far from the Tree (An analysis of themes found in Tom Stoppard’s play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead) In the modern world, technology revolves all around us. Most people cannot go five minutes without their cell phones or tablets. Social media controls our minds and has changed the way people interact with others. Our generations have become rude and do not know how to think before acting.…
When Victor Frankenstein created his monster, it was a great example of how someone can do something with the best intentions in mind, but get an outcome far different than what they had expected. If one thing is the same all about technology, whether it be for good or evil, it is that most of the time, their creators started out with the best intentions. Probably the best example of this is the Manhattan Project: the creation of the atomic bomb. In 1939, Albert Einstein wrote to President Franklin Roosevelt and urged him to approve a program that would create the first nuclear weapon.…

Imagine having summer all year long, being under the sweltering heat, breathing the stuffy, sick air, and conditions worsening as the day goes by. These harsh conditions are increased by air pollution and climate change through cars and factories; man-made inventions. These innovative technologies have been necessary in order to have a functioning and developing society and economy. However, the belief that humans are the sole cause of climate change is refuted by scientists, advocating that the change in the Earth’s climate is a natural cause. Earth formed over about 4.5 billion years ago, and it has changed ever since then.…
