Joleigh Pool PHI 1306 Response to Moylan In “If Not Even The Boy Scouts Can Celebrate Boys, They’re In Serious Trouble,” Lori Moylan argues that allowing girls to enlist in Boy Scouts will undermine the original purpose of Boy Scouts. She argues: 1) Allowing girls into the Boy Scouts undermines the original purpose and mission of the Boy Scouts. 2) If allowing girls into Boy Scouts undermines the original purpose and mission of the Boy Scouts, then girls should not be allowed in the Boy…

There is no doubt that Christopher Columbus changed the world. Whether his voyages were good or bad, he did make history. He is widely known and a hero to some. Columbus Day became a federal holiday in 1937, creating an uproar of fury and merriment. The questions is, is that should Columbus Day be a holiday considering his decisions and actions? In this paper, I will state the reasons of both, why and why not Columbus Day should be a federal holiday as well as my own thought on the matter. To…

We shouldn't celebrate Columbus Day. Not just because he was a bad person. Yes, it is because spread so much disease, and I really don’t want to be celebrating someone who committed near genocide. But mainly, I don’t want to have a day where the Native Americans in our country feel hurt and betrayed as we celebrate the man who killed so many of their ancestors. The majority of people in America aren't Native American. But we can’t forget about them. When we have parades in honor of…

Columbus Day Columbus Day became a legal holiday in 1971, marking Christopher Columbus’ first voyage to America in 1492. This is a day that is celebrated, but should America continue to celebrate this day? Columbus Day should not be celebrated due to his cruelty, false discoveries, and the result of his voyage. Columbus’ cruelty consists of unleashing greyhounds on Natives, having Native women raped, and harsh punishment. Columbus’ false discoveries include not discovering America, not…

I wish to provide a deeper understanding of my opinion of the question ‘Should we celebrate Columbus Day?’ Columbus Day is observed as a legal holiday in various areas of the United States in honor of Christopher Columbus himself and his discovery of the New World. This includes his landing in the West Indies. However, the events placed with him, Columbus had not discovered America at all. This was not his mission, and in the process of doing this, he created turmoil throughout the world.…

In Dr. Limb’s TED Talk, he discusses creativity and the brain. A professor of head and neck surgery, he thinks of surgery as playing an instrument. He performed a set of three musical experiments using a functional MRI and a keyboard to study creativity and the brain. Dr. Limb performed experiments to argue that artistic creativity is a neurological product of the brain. His main thesis is that we can study creativity as a neurologic process just like we study any other neurologic processes.…

believe about Columbus Day? You can use readings from both this unit and any previous readings that connect well Columbus Day Every year on the second Monday of October, we celebrate Columbus Day, a day which commemorates the explorer Christopher Columbus’s so called “discovery” of the new world. However, just because we do celebrate this holiday, doesn’t mean we should. I believe that Columbus Day should be removed, and perhaps replaced with a new holiday in recognition of the evils he…

and so different cultures developed their own mythologies to give them a sort of comfort in the face of the unknown. The human issue with mortality is one that every culture must address, but they do so in a huge variety of ways. Some cultures celebrate death, some fear it, and many mourn it. The people of ancient Greece epitomized most Western views on death and commemoration, and so we can still sympathize with their views and motivations today. Analysing Homeric poetry gives us a window to…

Columbus day should not be celebrated as a holiday because Columbus tortured and killed many native Americans while on his voyage, he was not the first to find the land he discovered, and he never set foot in what is known today as the United States of America. Christopher Columbus is thought to be the founder of the U.S. and the first man to step foot on the land. He is also praised for the discoverment of the New World which consisted of him finding various Caribbean islands, the Gulf of…

If we do not fear, what we can see in the inside and look at the body with a sense of its composition, its structure and complexity there is the option of celebrating our anatomies. It can stimulate curiosity and apply the biological mechanics of our insides in our surroundings. When we set aside our stigmata’s on sex and openly explore its nature, we can avoid misunderstandings and stimulate innocent curiosity towards the sexual element of our anatomies, and then we can discard the notion of a…
