From this text we can assume that two people (friends) represent Daoism thought and Zi-gong represents Confucius thought. In this particular case we interfere different perceptions or interpretation of death by Confucian and Daoism thought. Zi-gong is very surprised and confused when he finds out that two friends are playing flute in presence of the corpse. This gives us idea that,…

A few days ago, I simply could not seem to stop thinking about that first day last week that my father went to work in the stockyards. He had left in the morning happy to finally have a job, but I had seen the slight worry cross his face, just for a second, as he had put on his shoes. At dinner, he only answered our questions with short answers, and when I tried to talk to him at night about the stockyards, he said it was getting late and that I must get some sleep I wonder if maybe his first…

environment. Thousands of years ago the American Pika lived in lower elevation areas however over time they moved upslope to the elevations they are known for today. With that, the American Pika also got used to much colder temperatures than their ancestors,…

(1969)” uses satire in many ways. The Indians use it to ridicule white people, mock them and use irony to have a better chance in gaining the island. In one way they use satire to mock the ways of the white man and make them feel bad for what our ancestors did. First, when purchasing the island they said that they will give “twenty-four dollars in glass beads and red cloth”. The white people bought an island from them 300 years ago with that amount of money, however that was a long time ago.…

This study set out to demonstrate that bioluminescence in Motyxia evolved in a common ancestor and grew brighter through evolutionary time. How did they do this? Existing research had already demonstrated that 10 discovered species of Motyxia had different levels of bioluminescence. By measuring the variance in the brightness between species, the authors of the study attempted to gain an insight into how their bioluminescence evolved. An experiment was set up to measure the brightness of each…

came to live in America and the struggles their families faced. I learned a lot about different cultures from the stories that were told during the movie. One of the most interesting things that I took away from the movie was that most of their ancestors thought that America was this amazing place to live For example, Wisdom though she would find money on the ground, while others thought they would find gold, easy jobs, and make a lot of money. However, when they arrived in the United States…

Ten thousand years ago, human teeth were 10% higher than we moderns. But because our ancestors began to eat cooked food that is soft and do not need to much chew. So in the process of human evolution, the human teeth and jaw began to shrink, until they change to the size of our teeth and jaw now. Next, the example of human evolution is about…

socialize. The chief looks down upon certain cultural aspects of whites. As he uses “To us the ashes of our ancestors were sacred... you wander from the grave.... without regret.” and your dead cease to love you... our dead never forget the beautiful world”, there seems to be a criticism of whites as heartless people who don't respect their ancestors. His people worship their fallen ancestors and still remember them, unlike the whites. As a final warning Chief Seattle says that “your time of…

“You have to know the past to understand the present.” Many people in everyday situations can relate to this quote by Carl Sagan, such as how you must know what water is to understand why there are hydroelectric dams. In the greater aspect of human existence though, the quote is said to hold even more certainty, because in all truth, the superannuated objects and organisms that archaeologists dig up is what has given the human race even a chance in coming to understand why this particular…

Both the Percheron and the Quarter Horse were developed in the seventeenth century, but they only have one common ancestor. Their common ancestor happens to be the Arabian, a hot-blooded horse which is strange because neither the Percheron or the Quarter Horse are hot-blooded horses. While Percherons have simply one other breed in their background the Spanish Horse, the Quarter…
