ancestral form which has been retained in a current form). It is not a particularly useful term to apply to a whole animal. What people generally mean when they talk about ‘primitive’ and ‘advanced’ extant primates is less or more like humans and that is an incorrect usage. Humans do indeed have some advanced features (features not found in their ancestors) such as large brains and feet adapted to habitual bipedalism, but then all extant species tend to have a few specialised features that set…

Who would we be without culture? Culture shapes who we become as people. The definition of culture is the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. My definition of culture is something that impacts you everyday and shapes you into who you are. The three strongest cultural influences on my life are family, basketball, and school. My first cultural influence is basketball. I began playing basketball at five years old. Playing basketball in the…

into his constant seeking of this greater price for the Pearl, something for his “family” then forming it into his obsession. Before the obsession shaped Kino into the Perry 5 man in which he is at the end of the novel, he states “It is said that humans are never satisfied, that you give them one thing and they want something more,” (Steinbeck 32) which is completely ironic in the given situation. Not only does Kino himself lose his way because of his desire to want something more, but Juana,…

face and hands made my body quiver. It tasted like metallic when I licked my lips for insurance that I was still alive. The car kept on moving as if it never hit a 112 pound juvenile. People hit someone and are never caught. How does someone hit a human being with their car and drive away? I never gave being a victim of a hit and run accident a second thought until I seen my cousin lying on the side walk in front of me about to die. Hit and runs are increasing in many cites the fatalities are…

as a homeostatic mechanism for repair of injured tissue and replacement of senescent cells through regeneration (Denis O. Rodgerson & Alan G. Harris 782). This can be new way in improving plastic surgeries. For instance, when an important part of human skin burns, Doctors should remove a skin from different part of body to replace that burned skin to stop the bleeding or something else.

Much of what Carl had learnt thus far was either confusing, scary or down right frustrating. It didn't help that humans, particularly young, newly arrived humans, weren't well looked upon by the Kraythonian contingent on the mine. And with them making up the majority of those on the station, particularly in positions of authority, this occasionally made matters awkward for the young…

Humans fear the unknown and what they can’t understand. They fear what they can’t control and what can control them. They fear what threatens them, so they create an idea, something without a form, an imaginary beast to use as an excuse in order to act upon their fears and take control so they may not be scared anymore. In the novel, Lord of the flies by William Golding, a representation of the real face of Men is presented through the story of a group of boys stranded on an island, with only…

Carl Rogers, did not like the domination of behaviorism and psychoanalysis in American psychology and wanted a perspective that emphasized the potential for good. “Humanism is a perspective that emphasizes the potential for good that is innate to all humans” (OpenStax, 2017 pg. 13). With this perspective in mind when the chicken came to the road he noticed that there were baby chicks that were too scared to cross the road alone so he decided to do some good and lead them across the…
