In this manner, it is important to understand the limitations of human life, which is always changing and morphing tin the evolutionary process, which makes perfection a very dangerous objective to “overly ambitious” parents that do not understand the ramifications of genetic enhancement for their child…

the creature wakes up, all he wants is to be accepted and loved, but having not received this, he grows envious and bitter. He witnesses humans who live in the cottage love each other, accept each other, and work hard for each other, and he wanted to experience these thing too. All he wanted was a family, someone to care for him, someone to communicate with. Humans are essentially social creatures, including Frankenstein’s creature, and denying these basic needs will have its consequences…

Based on research 95% and 99% of individuals diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome are infertile because they do not produce enough sperm to fertilize an egg naturally Paduch, D.A., Fine, R.G., Bolyakov, A., & Kiper, J. (2008) For infertility, Intracytoplasmic sperm injections have been a successful method for individuals diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome that are trying to conceive a child. For this procedure, a surgeon removes sperm from the testes injected into a needle and places one sperm…

In “The Vice of Snobbery,” Kieran confronts a major concern facing aesthetic knowledge: snobbery. Snobbery is a concern, he argues, precisely because it threatens the very foundation of aesthetic judgments. As a result, it is critical for Kieran to distinguish between virtuous art appreciators – whose aesthetic judgments are legitimate, and snobs – whose aesthetic judgments depend on irrelevant considerations. I will argue that while Kieran’s account of snobbery seems accurate, it brings with it…

1. Gopnik’s primary message in this essay is that anyone can make an impact in history no matter what their background is like. Gopnik’s uses the lives of two notable historical figures, Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin, to make his point. Lincoln was born into a poor, uneducated family that lived in a log cabin in the rural woods of Kentucky. Darwin, on the other hand, was born in the English countryside to a family of free thinkers and of wealth. Both came from vastly different backgrounds,…

In my search for a video to write over, I stumbled upon a title that struck me immediately. “There’s more to life than being happy” is a speech written by Emily Esfahani Smith and covers a deep issue that society faces. What is the purpose of life? According to Smith, meaning in life gives people something to hold on to, which, consequently, brings a deeper fulfillment than superficial happiness. Utilizing the three essential appeals to an audience; ethos, logos, and pathos, Smith has created a…

The creation of a hero is only decided through the actions that the character takes. Sophocles’ Creon and Homer’s Telemachus are clearly not worthy of the title “hero”, but they are forced into this hero’s journey so that they can realize what their effect has on others that surround them. It can not be known for sure if either one has completed the hero’s journey because in order to see that change, we would need to see a continuation of the story, however by observing their personalities, it…

with every bit having a deeper meaning. Morrison never actually clarifies who is doing what in the book, but with the context we can best assume what is happening. The distortion in the timeline, the switching of views, and the horrific scenes of human brutality, all play a part in Beloved. Morrison’s characters aren’t just made to play a role, but represent something much more, such as the love and determination that pushed many slaves to live. Beloved is a book with heavy influence of…

Where exactly is the line between what is normal and human and what is considered monstrous? In Jeffrey Jerome Cohen’s Monster Culture, he explores what it means to be a monster and concludes that a monstrous body is pure culture. He argues that a monster’s purpose is to be read so that the monster can reveal and warn society about something (Cohen 4). Many of his theses focus on the idea of an “us” versus “them” mentality. For instance, he writes that monsters are hybrids who don’t fit in any…
