Human appearance

For many years, there has been a significant amount of emphasis towards people’s physical appearances. Everyone desires the “perfect” body, however not many people are willing or able to put the time and effort in to achieving that status. But what is the “perfect” body? Society has conformed our minds to portray what the body should be but not how it is meant to be. Some people cannot physically achieve this status or do not see the need to do so. In my personal experience with my body and…

creature is always referred to as something less than human. It goes from being called a creation to a creature to a monster and finally a murderer, but never is it called a “he” or even a man. But really, how could it have been? The creature’s outward appearance was nothing less than monstrous. Its flat head, scarred up face and, most notably, electric probes on its neck are enough to make anyone know that this creature is different, inhuman or un-human. Inside, there is a childlike innocence…

Introduction: We experience interpersonal attraction when we emote the feeling of to love or to like another person, it can be defined as the power of the emotion of like or love we feel towards someone. Interpersonal attraction is established from the human nature of needing to belong. Baumeister and Leary (1995, p.522) stated that the need to belong is a "strong desire to form and maintain enduring interpersonal attachments." Interpersonal attraction can be present between anyone such as…

equality of human beings to non humans; animals. He does not make this claim meaning animals are equal in abilities, opportunities, or their logic towards life. Also, if he achieves his claim he does not agree to have equal rights towards animals. Peter Singer argues for equal consideration. This means that if an animal were to feel pain and suffering, then the same rights should be extended to the animal as if it were human. As singer states his claim is not just for the equality of humans but…

Cruelty in Frankenstein Human nature tends to view cruelty in a negative perspective. Although the monster in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is not quite a homosapien, he still treats cruelty the same. Upon being treated cruelly, both the monster and Dr. Frankenstein return to evil intentions in result. If the monster had not been treated cruelly, it is likely that he would have never killed those close to Frankenstein. Additionally, Frankenstein would not have been moved to act with revenge.…

Masculinity is, by definition, qualities and/or the appearance traditionally associated with men, especially strength and aggressiveness. This makes men have to appear to be bellicose or tough to impress society and prove themselves as being ‘manly’ men. Making it very difficult for young men and boys to truly express themselves and let others into their personal lives. Crying, self expression, and asking for help are healthy traits for the growth of young boys and men. Without them, young boys…

interested me. It was about babies that were genetically engineered. I remember hearing this often in my AP Biology class in high school, and I read more into it. I cannot seem to be able to imagine that scientist would be able to make the “perfect” human being. In the past few years there has been studies to further improve embryos. They are called GM babies and GM is short for genetically modified. There has been controversy on whether or not GM babies or better yet embryos should be tested on…

course is against the true fate. I learned that when humans try to interfere with the law of nature, there are some benefits but also some greater faults. As the debate on whether designer babies should be allowed rages on, the technology comes closer to making this possibility into a reality.…

other evidence of Upper Paleolithic life. Through the painting, they can imagine the activities during the lifetime of the original painters 2) At one point in the film, Herzog postulates that maybe these paintings reflect the beginning of the “human soul”, as art and music became essential expressions of humanity. What do you think the relation is between art…

Our clade is the group of organisms to which we belong that have evolved from a common ancestor. In human terms, we can all trace our beginnings back to the first Homo erectus. A more recent common ancestry is our membership in the descendants of that hardy bunch that first left Africa and could be called "modern humans." Since that time, we have developed many superficial characteristics and mentalities that have been used to divide us. All the different ways we use to classify "the other."…
