Discovery

some people think Gregor Mendel’s discoveries was relevant to the science of genetics and heredity, while other people think it was biased or falsified. Yet a majority of people think that his discoveries was not relevant,but they might not know that Mendel was the one who started the laws of inheritance. How did he start the law of inheritance you might ask? Mendel was experimenting through pea plants and after that, his mindset changed. Since then his discoveries have been ignored and probably…

Discovery involves complex paths, decisions, choices, and varying points of view; though the actual discovery is important, the path that is taken, the journey to make a discovery is what forms the impact and importance. In his diary, Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara remarks on how much he had changed over the course of his trip without even realising it. While reflecting he notes what changed him in the journey and encourages the audience to notice the changes as well. The War of the Worlds, illustrates…

Discoveries made by individuals will undoubtedly transform them, where it be a positive or negative transformation. This can be seen in the poems by Robert Frost, namely ‘The Tuft of Flowers’ and ‘Stopping by woods on a snowy evening’, and also in the short story ‘Big World’ by Tim Winton. In ‘Stopping by woods on a snowy evening’ the speaker makes a discovery on his own perceptions of the world round him and how he must change in order to fulfil his responsibilities. Similarly, in ‘A Tuft of…

continuously changing and has been changing for as long as there has been civilization. One of the major discoveries that had a major influence was the germ theory by Louis Pasteur. The germ theory is an idea that diseases are caused by microorganisms of a specific kind. The scientific beliefs from prior to this discovery changed dramatically once this theory was introduced and other discoveries were heavily influenced by it. The germ theory is why people today get their vaccinations, why…

reflection. As Guevara encounters Latin American poverty he embraces communism and similarly, the protagonist in Becker’s film experiences political discovery as he preserves life in the GDR in order to keep the fall of the Berlin Wall as a secret to his ill mother. Although in differing contexts, both experiences allows us to understand how meaningful discoveries…

Everyone makes mistakes, but sometimes those errors can be big. Mistakes have caused the ancient city of Troy to be destroyed, and they tend to cause more damage than they do progress, additionally even when there is a big discovery made by mistake, the very same people who made the discovery have to keep working for years for it to actually be of any use to anybody. Troy. The grand city spoken of by the great poet Homer. Once complete, now in ruins. We owe this city being destroyed to Heinrich…

The process of discovery is ever occurring and allows for new insights and critiques of firmly held and socially established-beliefs and attitudes. This understanding of discovery is embodied in Bill Bryson’s scientific catalogue, ‘A Short History of Nearly Everything’ (hereafter ASH), which provides a literary gateway for readers to expose themselves and to garner an understanding of the impacts of various complex historical scientific , which in previous contexts were inaccessible to the…

Cultural, personal and social discoveries or rediscoveries for an individual can lead to new understandings and renewed perceptions of the world, others and oneself. It is indeed through the challenges and adversities that meaning and transformation can be derived. In The Tempest, William Shakespeare reveals how a discovery can lead to a new-found identity, position and view on society. Whilst, in A Hanging, George Orwell reveals how a sudden discovery can challenge the perspective of colonisers…

The notion of discovery is inherently associated with human experiences, and is a gradual process in which an individual’s identity is developed, resulting in shifting perspectives. This is epitomised in Che Guevara’s memoir The Motorcycle Diaries (Diaries) [1995] which utilises aspects of the hero’s journey in its construction to highlight the significance of the outcome of discovery and the varied interpretations it may instigate. Similarly, David Fincher’s Fight Club [1999] conveys the…
