The lives of humans and the lives of the corvids are similar because we both have character traits and we both live in this world.

Choosing my resource “Meet the Bird Brainiacs: American Crow” by Kat McGowan and my personal experiences will show why…
The Difference in Frogs Humans are all under the same general specification of Homo sapiens, but they are all different from height all the way to thoughts. The same goes for any other types of species with the same universal name. Each are disparate like frogs for example. The term frog is a synonym to its more specific name: Amphibians. Both of these names are umbrella terms for these animals. Yet, there are many different varieties of frogs such as the Turtle Frog and the Clawed Frog.…
possibly, but what caused the Big Bang? If the universe is contingent upon a necessary being and everything in the universe is contingent on that being, why do we have human beings, trees, animals and not something else? If there is no first cause, no necessary being to intervene, then how did humans evolve from slime on a rock into a human being?

conception of science and technology has rapidly changed over the past three centuries. From a basic understanding of how electrons move to understanding and utilizing stem cells to cheat death, humans have advanced into a new realm of scientific breakthroughs unparalleled to any other time period. Genes within the human body have been bio-hacked and reprogrammed (Sophia Chen, Wired Magazine); immunities to diseases have been engineered (Antonio Regalado, MIT Technology Review); artificial…

anticipation as it speaks of scientific or technological achievements that could be achieved in the future. For example, the film WALL-E, which is about a robot designed to clean the garbage that covers the Earth after it was devastated and abandoned by humans in a 'distant future’, but it is still a distant future? The truth is that we will have made those possible consequences of our selfishness and unconsciousness in the closest future. Now days, we all are wishing for technology to develop…

Packer. Also while Ravenous is supposedly a film about cannibalism, I would argue it's more of creature feature with the Wendigo being the monster in question due to the strong supernatural element. Because as far as I know eating the flesh of another human doesn't give you special abilities, like being able to heal from any wound. After winning a medal and getting a promotion during a battle during the Mexican-American War, John Boyd (Guy Pearce) is sent away to a remote outpost in the Sierra…
