Nearly every disease known to man has the capacity to be treated or further understood through knowledge gained in stem cell research. While humans have come far in preventative measures and treatments for many types of disease, there are still many that take people from their families and friends every year. However controversial, stem cell research has greatly improved our understanding of the human body, and it is that research that will finally lead to the demise of the diseases many suffer…

Stem cell have proven to be one of the most interesting parts modern biology, but, as with many new types research stem cells raised both scientific questions as well as moral questions. Stem cell research can pave the way to new techniques that can be used to treat a wide variety of disorders and illnesses. Despite the major benefits stems cells can provide there is still remains an argument of whether or not stem cells should continue beginning researched. It is because of these reasons many…

Imagine a world in which many of the illnesses and diseases that our society suffers today, were curable. Imagine a world in….. Fortunately, the progressive research behind the stem cell could make this imaginable world a true reality. In early development, stem cells are situated and clustered within every organ and tissue. Our body is made of several types of cells, however, “a stem cell differs from every other cell in the body in its ability to renew itself” (“What is a Stem Cell?”).…

College athletes are considered by many other students to be very fortunate. With college tuition increasing year after year students are finding themselves strapped with an overwhelming amount of loan debt. Student athletes who receive the benefit of having their tuition covered by the university are considered, by some, to be employees. It’s important to identify what an actual employee is and what that employee does. An employee works for an employer based on an initial contract where the…

Contemporary South Korea is often regarded as a cultural and economic hub within the world, but it is important to acknowledge the extensive history of South Korea that has been decorated by violence, corruption, and social disparity. Enduring foreign powers controlling institutional forces, a turbulent war against North Korea, two military regimes, and an intense financial crisis, the past century within South Korea has molded its population to quickly adapt to social, economic, and…

The heated debate of paying college athletes and the status of student-athletes as amateurs has been argued often and thoroughly in recent times. With testimonies coming from current and former NCAA Division I athletes about inability to afford basic living amenities such as being able to afford dinner, being able to see a movie with friends, or find time to balance athletics with academics and a social life, media and critics have been arguing whether or not it is time to start paying college…

livelihood and persistence of all athletic teams. If regulations are violated, an investigation can occur and sanctions placed on the department. Mark Nagel, professor of sports and entertainment management at the University of South Carolina said, “some Division III teams are moving from the old approach of winning being secondary to it being the primary mission. Those schools have looked at athletics and said, ‘If we do a little more here and invest a little more there, we have a chance to…

It is forbidden for people who live in the country of North Korea to leave the country without permission of the government in power. Not only being on strict limits for leaving the country, the government in power tries to limit/restrict the people of North Koreas movement even inside their own country. You must have a clearly stated particular responsibility/duty or purpose if you wish to go to another part of the country and receive permission from your work unit. For those not living in…

Stem cell research brings up the idea of advanced technology. If a person has the technology to do something, does that necessarily mean that we have the obligation or expectation to do so? C.S. Lewis once said that, “Man’s power over nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with nature as its instrument. Man’s final conquest has proved to be the abolition of man.” In a sense, the destruction of man by man seems fitting in the case of stem cells. What it’s all boiled…
