One of the many things I got asked when getting ready to go to college is “why a Liberal Arts University?” for a long time I didn't even know the difference, well now I do. A Liberal Arts University is a college that offers a broad range of subjects including math, science, history, philosophy, languages, and literature. Many non-liberal arts universities only offer your basics then your straight into your major specific classes. One thing I believe is the best thing about getting a liberal arts…

There are thousands of jobs that involve chemistry, and some people do not even know it. From something as blatantly obvious as a chemist itself to something in the agricultural field such as an agronomist. It may seem like the two may not have any correlation to each other at all, but both of the careers involve chemistry. Many people see forensic science technicians as some really cool crime scene investigators, but there is so much more to it. Forensic science technicians are crime scene…

utilize the abilities that science has and the art of technology to create this campaign that can try to publicly alter the decisions of the citizens. The Natural History Museum at Harvard used science to allow students to gain further knowledge about botany. Although the campaign may not be successful the goal of the campaign was to make society aware of the issues in their country, like Harvard intended to do as well. This campaign can also relate to other topics covered in class like “the…

Deep in the night the sounds of nature envelope a small cabin on a plantation on the western edge of Missouri. There is not a sound in the night but the soft hum of insects, the rush of water over rocks, and the dreamy breaths of a family in peaceful slumber. The creak of a door only partially stirs the young mother of an infant and his brother. Sleep is hard to come by as a slave - even if the owners are kind. Mother rolls over, unaware of the evil that lurks in her doorway. Men creep into…

The first record of Europeans sailing into Australian waters was noted in 1606. They were said to be observing the Terra Australis Incognita, which is translated to the unknown southern land .The first ship, known as Duyfken, to sail to this land was led by captain Willem Janzoon, a Dutch navigator and colonial governor. From 1606 to 1770, 54 European ships sailed to South Australia. Many of those ships came from Dutch East Indies Company (“Australian Stories”). In 1770, Lieutenant James Cook,…

North is a traveler, painter and botanist. Murphy considers North as a naturalist and feminine since many of her paintings are inspired by garden and garden is domestic, but at the same time her work as a traveler and botany are more related to the science. She is “being viewed as a woman in a male field” (162).Murphy concludes her argument by identifying North with neither sex. The last chapter titled The Female physician in Charles Reade’s ‘A Woman-Hater’ (1877). Murphy…

Both science and technology had a very profound role on the East India Company’s (EIC) rule over India, as well as added to the economy. Some background – with the EIC’s help, the British first took over areas in India starting with Bengal, located in northeast India today, and then moving down to the southern parts of India as well. They acquired some more territories in northern India after. Expansion to India eventually slowed down; however, once they stopped acquiring as much territory, they…
