Question Three: Who is the Middle School Student in the Twenty-First Century? Being in a middle school environment, strikes fear into adults and children alike. However true, a middle school movement only started in 1960 and began with emergence of ‘junior highs.’ Today, middle school’s serves as a preparatory institution for high school. Characteristics during development demonstrate a primary trademark of a twenty-first-century middle school student. Puberty presents as a time of…
“extravagance and structure”. As new possibilities arose, composers were able to make their music more complex. The emergence of new instruments, like the brass and woodwind instruments, increased flexibility in tone color. This allowed for more expression in music. The improvement of instruments such as the violin, which Stradivari and other makers perfected, and the organ, allowed for the emergence of virtuosos such as Antonio Vivaldi and Girolamo Frescobaldi. Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier…
There are many factors that have the potential to influence the emergence of new infections. A common factor is the spillover event. In the case of this event a pathogen present in one reservoir population will spread the pathogen to a new host or reservoir. An example of this is animal to human contact. For example, Ebola is thought to have been transmitted to humans by a bat. Meaning that the bat was the first reservoir host and passed it to a human host, a new population. Additionally,…
Since the emergence of the genus Homo, the hominins went through great patterns of evolution over generations. Through series of adaptations, the genus Homo spread in various geographic locations and eventually emerged as anatomically modern humans. With the allele frequency changes that evolved in the genus Homo, there is key evidence that microevolution led to macroevolution. From speciation to extinction, the modern synthesis helps us explain not only the mechanisms of evolution and the…
disease, the transmission of infectious diseases, and the appropriate infection control procedures to employ for a specific microbial pathogen Question 1 (2 marks) Identify factors that contribute to the emergence of new infectious diseases. There are multitude of factors that contribute to the emergence of new infectious diseases. Two significant factors are microbial mutation and ecological…
Proterozoic era, we suddenly find the emergence of complex eukaryotic cells. All eukaryote cells share one common ancestor which emerged just once in 4 billion years of life on earth and all plants, protists, algae, animals and fungi are constituted by these cells. The cellular structure of bacteria and eukaryotes are so different there is no evidence to support the ‘directional’ evolution of eukaryotes from bacteria.. Biologists can’t explain eukaryote emergence only confirm their symbiotic…
Mary Rogers’ death became a sensation in the mid-nineteenth century because of multiple reasons, but the sensation mainly came from the fact that her death could have happened to any other woman in any city or town. That if this act and magnitude of violence could happen to Mary Rogers, then it could happen to any other woman who left their sphere. The historical event of Rogers’ murder also sparked the belief that single women should start becoming cautious of living alone in cities (Srebnick…
In the reading, Capitalism and Gay Identity, D’Emilio challenges the idea that gay men and lesbians have not always existed, but emerged because of free labor created by capitalists. However, in my opinion towards the emergence of homosexuality, I disagree with D’Emilio’s concept that homosexuality results from a specific time period when capitalism arose, and I would argue that although attractions among same genders appeared uncommon prior to the twentieth century, homosexuality has…
dominant state or hegemon concerned with the emergence of a potential rival. Regardless, he fails to recognize the compatibility of his assumptions and observed behaviors with…
China led the world for centuries in scientific and agricultural development from their early production of gunpowder to the first cultivation of rice and millet. However, China 's early success was disturbed by centuries of famine, unrest, and war, and Europeans took the reins of world technological development. After WWII, the communist regime wrested control of China and a strict socialist system was implemented. Leaders like Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping have transformed China from a…
