As an educator, I have always striven to see that the fruits of the American Dream are available to all”. James Dewey Watson was born on April 6th 1928, in Chicago Illinois. Watson is a Geneticist and Biophysicist. Watson was later awarded a Nobel Prize for Physiology/Medicine for this very accomplishment. Currently the American Dream is defined as the ideal that every US citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative. About a century ago it was defined as ‘The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement." James Dewey Watson enhanced the American

One of Watson’s main ones being The double helix. Watson’s books let other people learn new things about science and have people motivation to want to do the same. James Dewey Watson created a new standard for textbooks and completely altered the expectations of education when regarding science. James’ first textbook changed how people approached writing biology textbooks. Watson was quoted saying “ my whole life has been basically trying to find intelligent students or, you know, I highly motivativated students and giving them opportunity to do good science”. Watson just wants to help further humanity as a whole and to help modern people while doing it. Watson is very intrigued by how people approach science today and how much it impacts …show more content…
The human genome project helped America progress faster and in modern day America regularly is involved with people and their health. The human genome project created the need for better machines and eventually led to them. Without these machines today we wouldn’t be so far in the field of science. The human genome project gave biologist more to think about and the tools to answer questions. It created an entire new approach to biology. Science is continually involved in our everyday lives and without the betterment that was done by Watson we wouldn’t have many things. The human genome project focuses on genetics that cause diseases. With studying into genetics we are now able to understand the pirblem fully and soon solve them. Soon cures to diseases such as cancer will be created. Furthermore the human genome project teaches scientists to reach for their dreams which is a large part of the American dream. to be able to work hard and be successful is the one defining trait of America. Science is now taken very seriously because of role it has in modern life. People tend to be against the human genome project as there are legal,ethical, and social issues. Science is everywhere and regularly affects our lives through means of reproductive decisions, health care, our diet, and diseases. Everything people do is first affected by science. Science teaches us how to live longer and saves many
