construct. We can’t define acts of injustice by examining race as independent of biological/genetic variations. Scholars discovered race didn’t exist in the 17TH century but race originated as a folk idea-it was a social invention, not a product of science. More than 400 years ago in the 1600’s Englishmen came to America seeking fortunes. They planned to overthrow the Indians by enslavement and obtain their wealth. Unfortunately, many Indians died of European diseases and other escaped to…

Weekly Reflection #9: Today, Michael Fenton talked about Desmos and what we should think about when we incorporate technology in the classroom. Reflect on the talk, the activities, and his philosophy of how we should incorporate tech in the classroom. Before Michael Fenton speech, I had hear about something people say, that someday we will live in a world where almost everything will be done through technology and where there will be not a lot of human interaction. Nevertheless, I did not think…

mental processes within the context of evolutionary adaptations. However, Roscoe’s conclusion that evolutionary psychology has been immensely useful in the matter of biological sciences may be weak. In fact, biology scientists (among others) have called evolutionary psychology to task for cutting in line in their hard science, without having a proper biological scientific background. While an abundance of critics of evolutionary psychology…

Chrystal Nguyen November 19, 2014 The Grand Canyon: A Natural Phenomenon Although humans are considered the smartest animal in the world, we are definitely not the most powerful forces in the world. Human history can be told verbally or documented with written language, but Earth’s history must be deciphered through the written clues in our nature. Whether we are analyzing rock sentiment, volcanic activity, or old climate patterns, there are many ways to understand the history of Earth. However…

Pseudoscience katrina ojeda Touro Unveristy Pseudoscience Did you know that if you search the Internet, you’ll find more than 400 therapies that claim to treat or ‘cure’ Autism Spectrum Disorder? In today's research tells there are only 2% of treatments that are strongly supported by evidence. ‘Fad’ therapies for autism spectrum disorder approaches that quickly become popular for a while, then disappear. They sound promising and show amazing results, but aren’t usually supported by…

medication. Animal testing is wrong and should be abolished in favor of newer, better solutions, it often causes pain to the animal, and in most cases the results cannot be applied to humans, some may argue that because animal testing is a tried and true science, it must stay, but there are now technological advances to replace it. Animal testing causes animals pain, and therefore it is an inhumane practice and should be abolished. In 2007, over 77,000 animals suffered pain due to animal…

Egg Drop Experiment My Plan was a very simple but complicated task. My plan was to make one small triangular prism. I did this out of transparent tape (scotch tape), duct tape, and straws. First I made a small triangle that held the egg snug for maximum protection. Then I taped straws to every side of the triangle. But I tested it and it wasn’t enough off the roof of my house. So, what did I do? I reinforced the straws and made it into triple straws for more suspension. Before I dropped I was…

In the earlier stages, barbarism was based on agriculture and the rearing of cattle. Civilization was based upon private property, introduced by commodity production. The period of savagery and barbarism constituted the period of “primitive communism”, where there were no restrictions on which men and women could have relations, living in common “long houses” with common property and children would be raised in common. There were many different forms of family and sexual relationship. Some of…

There has been recent discovery that human limb regeneration will be coming sooner than expected. This idea may seem very abstract, but regeneration in general already occurs in the body. Nails and hair can be cut off and they will grow back.it is even possible for the end of a finger cut off will grow back if the nail plate is long enough, because under the nail plate there are stem cells. Scientists have found the exact gene that controls regeneration in rats and are able to activate it, but…

In the United States alone, approximately 100 million animals die each year, due to the adverse effects of animal testing. The majority of these casualties are a result of cosmetic companies’ intensive experimentation methods. Additionally, the procedure of animal testing has many issues such as fallacious results, various limitations in the testing process, and most importantly, the scarifications of numerous animals. Not only does does it cause detrimental effects to the subjects, but it also…
