bacterium and are free-living in soil (Edgley, 2015). C. elegans possesses a genome that presents a simplified prototypical nervous system that is particularly easy to observe at a molecular, cellular, and organismal level. This makes them an ideal model organism because they share the same characteristics necessary in the human body (Schafer, 2005). Chemotaxis refers to the movement toward, or away from, a chemical stimulus (Ferrée et al., 1997). Specifically, C. elegans has the ability to…

Disease and degeneracy has taken place of the progression promised by the Enlightenment, there is discomfort present within modern society and its streamlining that has led to the world despair and nihilism. Modern mechanical social structure stands responsible for the capacity depletion of humanity to find meaning, and the increased intellectual sophistication is in fact a manifestation of a vane sense of egoism, bound to erupt violently. What was deemed to become the age of information has…

In this reflection, I combine the content of the two classes last week. First, I will give my reply to several questions that posted by the discussion leaders. Secondly, I summarize and present my thoughts to several discussion topics in class. And finally, I would like to posit my questions to Marx, Marxists, or Post-Marxist. For the class on Tuesday, one question we discussed was about the differences between money as capital and money as mere money. My own answer to this is that Marx…

For German society, the current prevailing attitude is that a nation can only truly reckon with the past if they understand it.

The modern confrontation with Germany’s Nazi past, like many…

It is a qualitative value because it consists of the specific qualities that the commodity has and since each commodity has different use-values one…

Karl Marx, a theorist who examined the societal values and orders, ultimately came to the conclusion that human history was composed of a level of struggles between different classes. The main motivator for humans is “historical materialism” which is associated with wealth, gain, and resources. Marx believed that when factories were created with no progress and investment, the workers just ended up getting poorer and poorer until there was no incentive to work. To fix this problem, Marx came up…
