Analysis Of The Speech 'The Biology Of Perception' By Bruce Lipton

Decent Essays
In Bruce Lipton’s speech, “The Biology of Perception,” he compares the human body to a cell, the nucleus, and DNA that makes up the human body. Lipton informs the audience that biology is what we perceive it to be. Genes are hereditary; therefore, any ailments parents have their children perceive to have a huge chance of dying from the same disease. A parent has cancer then it is most likely that their offspring will get cancer too. However, biology is what we believe to be true. He stresses that knowledge is power, but without knowledge we lack power. The more we are educated we can separate the truth from the false perceptions of biology. Lipton compares the human brain to a nucleus and the human organs to cells that has organelles

    The idea of transcending into or through a new context has applied, and still does, at a profoundly deep level to the entire existence, past and future of humanity. It is an important concept to take into account for the future. Transitioning into a new context can have serious repercussions, whether they be positive or negative. If someone is to move into a new situation, their personal attitude and opinions must change to adapt to the circumstance. A change in these values may subsequently lead to positive or negative outcomes, depending on the nature of the transition itself.…

    Amelia Anthony Period 1 AP Biology 8/16/17 Survival of the Sickest The title of Survival of the Sickest by Dr. Sharon Moalem suggests a notion opposite to both common knowledge and common sense. The basis of evolution-- “survival of the fittest”--means that weak genes, like ones that cause harmful iron buildup, or misshaped and nonfunctional red blood cells, should have been eliminated long ago. Evolutionarily, Moalem sets up, hereditary diseases do not make sense.

    The concept of transformation and self overcoming are potent topics, the likes of which, are and have been heavily debated by the best academics known to humanity. The statement of a human requiring help from others to excel through pressing events is highly equivocal. The latter can be achieved by turning to the right support and resources in order to vanquish one’s negative circumstances, annihilate the pressures of society, and develop a unique and personal set of values. However, contrary to this, depending on the situation there may be no choice but to rely on oneself for support. These concepts are explored in “The Story of Tom Brennan” by J. C. Burke, and Friedrich Nietzsche’s “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”.…

How could an organism only visible through lenses have a body as intricate as an organism hundreds of times larger than itself?…

    Biology is the science of life or living matter in all forms and phenomena, especially with reference to origin, growth, reproduction, structure and behavior. Living beings have the desire to discover who they truly are and how they came to be the person that they are today. Many people have specific beliefs in an ultimate being that rules over all else, but most of these beliefs cannot be proven. The study of biology is based upon facts and hypotheses that can be tested and supported. Without biology it would be difficult to understand the beauty of life, and how living organisms are created and how the basic metabolic processes help organisms survive.…
