Bronfenbrenner has to develop in ecological theory that has to know everything in its child development and growth. Mr. Bronfenbrenner has labeled four theories that he created. He has each child special genetic and has influenced personality traits that described the children sake. The level that Bronfenbrenner created is to tell people how it work together for the child’s safety. Organizations that Bronfenbrenner created has the encourage and nurture of the relationships that the parents have…

Think about what the world of science would be like today without Charles Darwin’s Theory. Darwin was known to be the father of evolutionary biology. Charles Darwin once said, “When I view all begins not as special creations, but as the lineal descendants of some few beings which lived long before the first bed of the Cambrian system was deposited, they seem to me to become ennobled.” Charles Darwin’s original Theory of Evolution has evolved itself with a modern understanding of his theories,…

Dalia Al-Rubaye Professor. Dutterer ENG 1010 October 14, 2015 Darwinian Evolution Since thousands and thousands of years ago, humans have been fascinated by the way they, and other types of living organisms, change over time. They wondered about the reasons of those changes that make various populations of living organisms distinctly different from each other. The answer is; evolution. The theory of evolution was founded and stated by a British scientist called Charles Darwin. Evolution…

All organisms derive from one common ancestor; however, the reason why organisms do not all look alike is because of evolution. When it comes to survival of the fittest it is all about who can adapt the quickest and evolve in order to keep the species alive. Two main factors come into play in evolution: abiotic and biotic factors. Organisms are constantly fighting abiotic forces such as weather. Weather or change of weather is one of the biggest reasons for organisms evolving. When the climate…

The Origin of Evolution Because of the perplexity that surrounds evolutionary development, various theories and speculations have been established that cloud perception of details. In the “Revenge of the Nerds” from How the Mind Works by Steven Pinker, Pinker addresses what he believes to be the proper analysis of natural selection with his main claim that our predecessors evolved as a result of four main aspects: stereoscopic vision, group living, the hand, and hunting. With a concise…

Genetics can explain why four generations of your family became drug dependent after being exposed to drugs (Abadinsky, 2014). Family and social environmental factors are determining factors on whether a person will begin using drugs, as well (Abadinsky, 2014). According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, studies demonstrate that a person’s genetic makeup is a critical factor in being vulnerable to drug abuse (Abadinsky, 2014). Other studies demonstrate that at least half of a person’s…

Designer Babies Imagine a society where kids grew up in a defect-free environment. Even if the technology that would create this seems distant, geneticists are actively researching it and there’s even a term for children that could be genetically modified. They’re called designer babies and could revolutionize the effects impairments have on our society. However, this new project could also have a negative effect on our society as well, such as the unsure success rate of the procedure. The…

When I was a little girl, I use to tell people I was going to be a princess. I had it all planned out, I was going to marry a prince and live in this huge castle. We would have two kids and a lot of animals. My imagination was basically a Cinderella Story. I have three goals in my head that can and will be accomplished. One goal I would love to accomplish is being a marine biologist. I love the ocean and animals, so I thought combining them would be a good idea. Basically being a marine…

Honors Ethics of Genome Editing Faculty: Jennifer L. Cruise (Biology) and Michael J. Degnan (Philosophy) Where do you draw the line between the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ of genome editing? Which traits are we allowed to change, and who decides this? Will we be allowed to use gene editing to change basic human traits such as intelligence and athletic ability? Who will be able to afford gene editing? Will it make society less accepting of people who are born with genetic conditions? These are some of the…
