(as you want the best possible person for the job) in Brave New World it is completely unjustified as Bernard is no different from the others besides his height, “Bernard's physique was hardly better than that of the average Gamma. He stood eight centimetres short of the standard Alpha height and was slender in…

Research into and the potential uses of stem cells The discovery of stem cells was a significant scientific breakthrough. They were first discovered in mice in 1981 and then in humans 17 years later in 1998. Stem cells have the potential to revolutionise modern medicine. They have the potential to offer cures for diseases, treating injuries that can’t be helped currently and dramatically change how drugs are developed. These possibilities have huge impactions to New Zealand as we have thousands…

Research for AS91172 Billy Barrow From Thompson 's Model to Rutherford 's Model By the time that Joseph John Thompson confirmed that Cathode Rays were made up of negatively charged particles in 1897. The groundwork for the idea of the atom had been in the works for many years. From ideas from Leucippus and Democritus from ancient Greece who first proposed the idea of 'atomos ' meaning “inadvisable”. This idea of the smallest thing went on largely ignored in favour of the ideas of Aristotle,…

cons. Earth now warms at an alarming rate. In the last century the temperature has risen 0.7 degrees Celsius, roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming [NASA, n.d.]. This has caused sea levels to rise almost 20 centimetres. Nonetheless, in the past 20 years’ sea…

The Sun and Our Star - Have you ever questioned as to how and why we are able to dry our clothes in the summer, and to be able to heat food and treat our water? - This all thanks to the sun - Without the sun, we all would be dead, it gives us light, heat and energy to heat up the Earth - Most of the energy stays inside of the sun because of its gravitational pull, and all small amounts leave the surface in the form of radiant energy Type of star: Age: Yellow dwarf 4.5 Billion Years…

1. INTRODUCTION Ubiquitous computing (or "ubicomp") is a concept in software engineering and computer science where computing is made to appear anytime and everywhere. In contrast to desktop computing, ubiquitous computing can occur using any device, in any location, and in any format. A user interacts with the computer, which can exist in many different forms, including laptop computers, tablets and terminals in everyday objects such as a fridge or a pair of glasses. The underlying technologies…

Salbutamol Discovery Chiral chemistry was introduced in 1848 by French chemist and biologist, Louis Pasteur. He discovered this new branch of chemistry after he separated two isomers of ammonium tartate (1). This paved the way for several progressions in the pharmaceutical industry. Although it took approximately a century for scientists to use chiral compounds as effective drugs, they have played a remarkable role in the life of plants and animals (1). The credit for discovering the chiral…

Huxley develops a warning about the structure of societies by showing how the society in Brave New World creates a loss of individuality, creativity, and freedom of thought, while also misusing technology. In addition to this, he uses imagery and allusions to highlight the negative effect these things have on the citizens of Brave New World. In Brave New World, Huxley warns readers against a loss of individuality as well as a loss of deep personal relationships. By mass producing twins,…

1. Love is kindness and rainbow sherbet ice cream. Wonwoo's mummy always tells him that she loves him before he goes to bed. As a young child, he always ponders on the conception of love. Jeon Wonwoo is five when he meets Kim Mingyu on a relatively windy day at the local park. Wonwoo is standing almost two meters away from the Baskin Robbin's ice cream truck that resides near the entrance of the park and the annoying jingle that plays constantly, drones in his ears. He puts on his best angry…

While models show off their best poses for magazines and on the runway, they also pose a threat to society. The thinness of some models has been a heated debate topic for many years, and has prompted some countries to ban underweight models in an attempt to eliminate the effects of viewing them. However, it is unclear as to whether this ban actually affects the number of eating disorders and mental health issues. Some argue the ban may actually “deprive people of their livelihood” (anonymous).…
