Guppy

defined as “the continuous process of individual creation of structural realities and the constraint and coercion exercised by those structures” (Ritzer & Guppy, 2013). Social construction can be viewed as an example of the Thomas Principle, which speaks about how actions that are defined as real, are real in their consequences (Ritzer & Guppy, 2013). Both these concepts have two components that allow them to happen; the spectrum of micro and macro level factors. Individuals who comprise a…

and his guppies, “What the Grants are to Darwin’s finches, Endler is to guppies.” (Weiner 89). Endler studies guppies from small streams in northeastern South America. His guppies each have unique spots on them just like beak variations in Darwin’s finches. The guppies spots are heritable and “...each guppy inherits its particular palette of colors, and also the general size and brightness of ensemble, from its parents.” (Weiner 89). Natural selection can be seen with Endlers guppies by…

for a matter of seconds. The crunch of the outer cod complements the juicy cod in the middle; this meal has always been a Phann favorite. Other meals include the Guppy Plate, which is a bowl piled high with 100 diced raw Guppies. The Guppies have a gum-like texture that allow them to slide down their consumer’s throat with ease. The Guppies refuse to be chewed, but they also refuse to lose their strong iron taste. The Tuna Salad is another popular option. Tuna fish are spread out on top of a…

modern capitalist society where wealth is earned and maintained by private individuals originated from religion, specifically Christianity? Max Weber believed that religion played a central role in the western world’s economic development (Ritzer & Guppy 2014). In the article “God Bless America: How Christ became Central to Capitalism and US politics”, Goldenthal (2015) discussed the idea of how God or the idea of Christianization became the religion of the United States of America. The United…

Results Artemia fed with the high energy diet had a significantly higher length-specific O2 consumption rate on average than that of the Artemia fed with the low energy diet (t=-5.18, df=18, p=0.0000314) (Figure 1). Furthermore, the proportion of gravid females in the group of Artemia fed with the high energy diet was significantly larger than that of the group fed with the low energy diet (t=-5.73, df=21, p=0.00000543) Discussion The results acquired support the hypothesis in that the Artemia…

What do Snapping Turtles Eat? Before you buy food for your baby snapping turtles, you need to consider which sort of snapping turtle you have. There are two sorts of snapping turtles: the alligator snapping turtles and the common snapping turtles. They are different from each other and have their own habits. They are both omnivores, so they eat both fresh meat and plants. One common thing about these turtles is that they will eat almost everything. You can give them some eggs, vegetables, some…

deviance that have no real pattern; they are strange and against the norm, however they are usually not persisting (Ritzer & Guppy, 2013). On the other hand, secondary acts of deviance are recurring and eventually can lead people to organize their lives around their deviant status. Secondary deviance can be, and usually is, influenced in some way by a primary deviance (Ritzer & Guppy, 2013). In our particular case, the act of body adornment is an act of primary deviance, as one does not acquire…

Of the 12 animals studied, 10 had factors related to the Extraversion portion of the chart. Which means that 10 that were studied showed an extravert personality. The two animals that did not test high on extraversion were octopi and guppies. They compared this to humans choosing to stay home on a Saturday night, instead of going out to a party. 7 out of the 12 animal tested high in the openness category. John (2011) stated that “The O-factor in these animals studies resemble the early…

John Endler conducted a study on guppies found in streams of northeastern South America. The male guppies of this species inherit spots, varying in color and size. Females are more attracted to those with the colorful spots, but so are the guppies’ predators. The battle between reproduction and survival is a constant struggle present in the process of sexual selection. Characteristics that…

For example, if a fetus is in the 8th month, it may be able to feel pain. Or the fetus may have some level of brain function. However, if we grant the fetus rights of a developed person, we would also have to grant a guppy the same rights, as guppies are able to feel pain. Or granting dolphins these rights would be necessary, as dolphins have developed, intelligent brains. The ability to feel pain or having similar experiences as human beings does not automatically make something…
