The British aimed to – or claimed to – avoid these conflicts; the commander of the Botany Bay expedition was ordered to live “in amity and kindness” with the Indigenous Australians in the 1780s, though this rapidly devolved. The settler colonies in these areas were the both product of overpopulation after rapid population growth in…

Emily Dickinson spend an excessive amount of time secluded and isolated in her bedroom. Notably, her bedroom window overlooked a cemetery, therefore, Dickinson was a constant watcher of death. Reflecting in her poems is her exposure to death and the recurring theme of death and demise. As she was exposed to graveyards, tombs, and death since a child, an effect was bound to take place and it is illustrated in her poetry. Dickinson observed the omnipresent death, pain, and suffering, and…

Charles Darwin is often seen as a man that questioned his own theory, by those who study the biology field and others that study evolution. When taken out of context the quote brings up some controversy of whether he should be considered “The Father of Evolution”, if he had doubts about his own theories (Natural Science- Charles Darwin). Darwin was not the first to have a…

One thing we can learn from Emily Dickinson is that greatness can come from those who you would least expect. Emily Dickinson was born in…

You Are What You Eat The timeline where one has come from discussing genetic engineering in agriculture to one’s thoughts of human genetic engineering is based on where it began and changed over generations to what it will become. Currently, there is an issue at hand that must be addressed; Genetically Modified Organisms also known as GMOs are being rendered on the countertops at local food stores. The thought of producing and consuming food products that are genetically modified causes a stir…

“You’ll end up just like your father,” “Give up kid, there’s no point in trying anyway.” These, among other comments, plagued my early stages of mental development. People never expected me to acquire a level of knowledge and comprehension compared to the rigorous academia of the Stanford community. Nevertheless, my desire to combat stereotypes and cliches allowed me to not only be admitted into Stanford, but search for a greater form of thought. Just like greater thinkers John H. Newman,…
