From my childhood, I have always been fascinated by the science of moving or flying objects . Since when i was a child i constantly watched experimental TV shows like Mythbusters and penn or Teller . These TV shows have always been a fascination and excitment to me . While other people of my age did not like to study science or to take AP courses . I always accepted the challenges from Calculus and AP physics and worked hard to achieve the best of me . I realised…

My desire is to become an experimental physical chemist who studies biological systems. I hope to combine my interest in physical chemistry, and the knowledge I have gained working in a chemical biology research laboratory, to understand biological macromolecules at a fundamental level. When I first attended organic chemistry seminars as a sophomore, I was impressed at the eloquence and the enthusiasm of the speakers. Endeavoring to have insights like those of experienced scientists, I took…

Could you imagine waking up one morning and discovering that you were just a clone of another person? Could you imagine discovering that your entire life before that moment, didn’t belong to you? Someone else had sculpted and created what you looked like, how you acted, and who you are. In the future, this could be a possibility. The possibility of cloning has become a reality.The debate on cloning has been reinforced with scientific, medical, political, religious, moral, and ethical issues…

Management research will be considerably strengthened by effective collaboration between researchers and practicing managers. Such collaboration may well become essential if research projects are to make any real difference in the academics' understanding of or impact on management practice (Amabile et al., 2001). Management research entails significant challenges at the interface between the world of the academic researcher and the world of the business practitioner, challenges that may best be…

A social norm is morally accepted by society. All societies have different social norms that encourage people to act in particular ways. We look past social norms everyday. When a social norm is violated, one can easily analyze the reactions of others. I conducted an experiment by staring at people at stop lights.I hypothesized that the people will become confused as of to why I'm am staring at them. The results of this experiment did not surprise me by any means. It is obvious that if one…

In David Suzuki’s essay “It Always Costs” he argues that it is up to society to become responsible with future use of technology. Suzuki begins by saying that he believed that scientific literacy is the only way to change how science impacts lives. He utilizes DDT as an example of negative technological effects. Suzuki then explains that his former ideas of scientific literacy were based on faith in predictability, which is unreliable. Suzuki argues that assessments are often limited to a…

In his book Civilization and its Discontents, Sigmund Freud delves into the topic regarding the relationship between an individual and the civilization that surrounds them. Freud’s overarching theme revolves around the intrinsic need of humans, specifically children, to plot their own path and society’s constant demand for conformity. Freud talks about how people desire to commit many evil acts, such as killing or inappropriate sexual relationships as harmful to the civilization and as a result,…

We should not have to pay taxes for both Therapeutic and Reproductive cloning, especially if some of us do not agree with them. They both may seem like a fine law to pass, especially Therapeutic, but good things always come with a catch. It’s understandable why people would gladly want to have this law passed, but they are not seeing the black side of cloning. Us taxpayerstax payers should not pay for anything that can damage our bodies, including putting our health at risk. They state that…

Linus Pauling was a very facile scientist. He is known by his colleagues to be the most influential chemist since Lavoisier (who was, in the 18th century, recognized to be the founder of the modern science of chemistry.) For a man that lived on this earth only 93 years, he made many strides in his areas of expertise. This was mainly chemistry, physics and molecular biology. He studied the nature of the chemical bond; also with Vitamin C, which he proclaimed could be a preventive for colds.…

scientific research and as what many people have dubbed "The War on Science". Society and Science has butted heads throughout history from the science of genetics, to the shape of the world, even to something as simple as washing your hands to prevent the spread of germs. Society and Science has never been on the same page. We as society improved both technologically and efficiently yet why do we still deny and reject science? We live in a society where vaccinations and climate change is…
