Introduction Until recently, Obsession Compulsion Disorder was considered a rare disorder for an individual to be diagnosed with. In previous DSM’s, Obsession Compulsion Disorder was classified as an anxiety disorder; however, recently in the DSM-V, Obsession Compulsion Disorder and anxiety were removed from the same realm, giving OCD its own section. Added to the DSM-V section of OCD were many sub-groups, such as body dysmorphic disorder, trichotillomania, and excoriation disorder (Stein et…

Science: Facts Making Theories or Theories Making Facts? Are scientists using the facts to form the theories of science or are they making theories then hoping that the facts fit the theory? If the facts do not fit, does science pursue the facts and the root of the facts searching for truth or do scientists ignore the facts if they do not fit and instead pursue to prove their theories by other means? Science has always been a field where the inquisitive may go to seek truth and to pursue…

Abstracts: This paper is to explain what a biological weapon is and how it affects environment, humans, and the economy. Along with explaining how the disease is spread from person to person, promoting illness. With a little bit of history on biological weapons, and my views on biological weapons. A biological weapon is also known as a germ weapon. This is when bacteria, viruses, fungi, or toxins can be used as a weapon against, animals, plants of humans. The use of infectious agents were used…

Different foods take a different amount of time to grow. Some may take months, and some may take years to develop, but they all eventually produce the needed resources. When Gregor Mendel discovered genes, a world of possible uses appeared. Breeders learned that selecting certain traits from the ‘parents’ would produce a more appealing meal item. Scientists could also inject the certain genes into the subject to create the better food, whether it be plant or animal. These small changes in the…

What is Biology? Biology is the study of all living organisms. This particular type of science has been divided into many specialized fields, one of those fields being genetics. Geneticists use the information they collect to help decide traits that are passed on. Meaning, they study how and why organisms end up with blue eyes color or cancer. What is the role of the genetic material? Genetic material or DNA provides the blueprint for all living organisms. Museum of the Future, (N.D.)…

The common misconception that science and faith are in constant conflict, each hoping to disprove the other, is prevalent in the minds of so many people today that it has led to the belief that one must be wrong and the other right. Most people would be quick to side with science since they can see the visible signs that science bases its conclusions off of. However, science and faith are not in conflict and neither hopes to disprove the other. Rather science and Christian faith work together in…
