Career Consideration of Biological Engineer and Speech Pathologist Steve Jobs once said, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” Finding a lifelong career that is interesting, intellectually challenging, emotionally fulfilling, and well suited for a person is often a difficult decision for one to make. Choosing a career might take time, research, and experience, but eventually a person will find a career that suits them best. While a career of a biological engineer requires…

and small protozoa which are captured by them through phagocytosis, devouring a particle by “wrapping pseudopodia around it and packaging it within a food vacuole” (Campbell and Reece 2011). They also serve as the models for the study of basic biological phenomena (Görtz and Adoutte 1988). As an aerobic cell, the paramecium consists of “structures and organelles of aerobic non-photosynthetic eukaryotic cells”, including a cell membrane, a cytoplasm, an endocytic system of coated pits, and…

Josh Kennedy’s film Two and a Quarter explores what a person thinks about in their final minutes before they drown. The movie starts out with a young boy who decides to drown himself, but in the two and quarter minutes it takes an average person to drown, he thinks about his past and his future. This makes him decide to get out of the pool, and in this decision he learns to appreciate the people he surrounds himself with more. However, you might argue that it wasn’t a decision for him to get out…

Crichton V. Calfee: The Gene Patent Argument Michael Crichton and John E. Calfee both discuss the topic of gene patents in their respective articles, “Patenting Life” and “Decoding The Use Of Gene Patents.” However, the similarities end there as their opinions are the direct opposite of one another, with Crichton expressing extreme displeasure at the idea of gene patenting while Calfee is in support of the practice. Firstly, Crichton believes the patenting of genes as a whole to be a mistake.…

Question #2: What is an internal classification system and what function does it play in a prison? An internal classification system is instruments used to assign inmates to housing or program after they are placed in a particular prison. This does not apply to all inmates because some have medical conditions and sometimes there is not enough availability in that housing location. Herbert Quay came up with the internal classification system used in most prisons in the Adult Internal Management…

As discussed in class, nature is defined as the biological factors that shape a person’s unique set of traits both psychological and physical. On the other hand, the term nurture is defined as how our context or environment influences our psychological and physical aspects. Despite showing a variety of differences, both nature and nurture influence each other in a synergistic bond. On the “nature vs nurture” scale discussed in class, one of the evaluated categories was mental illness. The…

“Today we have a health insurance industry where the first and foremost goal is to maximize profits for shareholders and CEOs, not to cover patients who have fallen ill or to compensate doctors and hospitals for their services. It is an industry that is increasingly concentrated and where Americans are paying more to receive less”(Dianne Feinstein). The medical field has lost the idea of devoting their work to finding a cure and started to be for profit for the interests of CEOs. The CEOs then…

Nature is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors. Nurture is generally taken as the influence of external factors after conception e.g. the product of exposure, experience and learning on an individual. Biologists have known for a long time that gene expression is complex and DNA does…

There are many hazards that can have an effect on human life or on the operation of a critical infrastructure. These hazards must be assessed to determine the significant risks and how to implement practice to reduce these risks. In this essay it will discuss the threats and hazards that affect the chemical sector and the consequences should the sector be compromised. The essay will also cover the measures taken by the various levels of government and the private sector relating to the five…

In opposition to the nurturing approach, “nativists take the position that all of most behaviors and characteristics are the results of inheritance” (Cherry n.pg.). Nativists believe that behaviors are from biological factors such as genetic codes and DNA. Theorists who consider themselves nativists accredits that actions result from evolution. This stance means that genetic traits are passed down through family members which create individual differences. A…
