Atrazine is one of the most commonly used herbicides in the world; it is estimated that approximately 80 million pounds of atrazine is applied annually in the United States alone (Hayes et al, 2010). Atrazine is used so frequently because it is cheap and it increases crop yield. However, it has been found that atrazine in levels even as low as 2 ppb (parts per billion) can have adverse effects on the reproductive systems of many vertebrates, which includes humans (Hayes et al, 2010). According…

The inequality between females and males has been an issue since the beginning of time and can be observed in many types of literature.

Furthermore, the female characters are portrayed as…
shows a different relationship to sex. Lucy is not only a man dressed as a woman but also a different species altogether. Michael, as well as the reader, is compelled to ask how Lucy plans to cope with the consummation of marriage. There is clearly taboo with male-male relationships as well as human-angel relationships. Lucy remains aloof by responding “I’ll make it up as I go along” (103). Just like sexuality itself, Lucy is unclear. Is Ham gay? Do they have sex? Does simply choosing to be a…

Demanding respect with their majestic frames, roaming in families that sometimes span three or more generations, Elephants are nothing but regal. Different species have diverse ways of caring of their young, but the elephant is the peak of captivation…
While reading the textbook and powerpoints you have published, and reviewing the group discussions that have been posted by others, I realize how different every individual’s viewpoint of the world is compared to mine. The reality of this is enhancing my sense of various world views, to the point where my decisions and thoughts about certain situations have been reflected upon with different ideas, ones that may have not been established before this class. These changes of thought have been very…
First, I want to talk and discuss about “Race.” In this world, we have many countries with many types of people like: Korean, American, Vietnamese, Indian, and etc. there is not only cause they lived in different countries, for they have different about culture, skin, and language of each countries. I am a Vietnamese person and living in there for seventeen years before I moved to U.S. When I came to America, I saw a lot of difference from culture to race of people. There are people with white,…

This theory is further explored by investigating the trends found within the healthcare sector. The path…
