A Word on Introspection and Independence “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I am sure that the majority of us ran into this question dozens of times during our childhood. When I was younger the answer would come to me as easy as saying my name. A veterinarian or a ranch owner or a writer, I had many phases. Conversely, if you asked me that question now that I am seventeen years old, the only answer I’d give you would be a shrug of shoulders. How come now, that I am only a few months…

Defying Gender Roles How many times have you been in a situation where gender roles played a major factor? Gender roles affect every aspect of our life. The gender roles of males and females both develop as a pattern of behavior based on genes. Males and females are expected to follow certain gender roles in today’s society. In the play Antigone, the main character shows a simple example of a courageous woman defying her gender limits. Gender roles are very important by creating tension in the…

Worldview Epistemology Origins Problem Solution Destiny Naturalism The epistemology of Naturalism is based on the scientific method.

Creatures survive…

Evolution theory by natural selection is supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including in the field of genetics and developmental biology. Over the centuries, human breeders have produced dramatic changes in domestic animal populations by selecting the desire individuals to breed. Breeders will eliminate those undesirable traits gradually over time. Therefore, the new breed…

Consequences of biodiversity loss Biodiversity is a phenomenon that all life on earth depends on. It is the link between all life on earth. In other words the web of life.

We have more of a symbiotic relationship with the earth and everything else on it where we could be seen as kind of…

Hughes begins his poem in a strange way by arranging the words "deferred dream" and using "dream deferred" instead, which makes us realize that we are not in the world of logical principles, but rather a world of poetry that helps us find the truth and oneself. The arrangement of “dream deferred” doesn’t tell the reader information about something, but makes the reader ask questions about why he chose that title. Hughes made the reader pay closer attention due to the title because he did not…
