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. If it is possible to regenerate skin by stem cells, we will not need to add another pain to patients who are…
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…
"See the universe," He'd said. "Meet new and interesting species. Experience cultures from other solar systems." 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…
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…
During this time and age, scientists have been experimenting ways to improve one’s intelligence, and have been experimenting on a mouse named Algernon. The first human test subject, Charlie, was chosen by a group of scientists to undergo the same experiment, with the goal of enhancing his intelligence. Alice Kinnian, Charlie’s teacher at the Beekman College Center for Retarded Adults, recommended Charlie for the…
It is said that no man is an island, and no man stands alone. Meaning, true human existence cannot prevail positively or productively without the dynamics of society. Yet, this concept is very much two faced. While a man needs to exist in society, cocooning himself in its support and sense of belonging, too much social pressure can lead to the most disastrous endings and as society remains blind of the influences of the world, its ideals destroy humanity. Hence, if one does not conform, they…
their senses (Cloves Movement, Hamm’s Sight, Parents Hearing) or society in general considering the characters current suspension in a non-realistic world. ‘End Game’ tries to show through these that isolation is a situation that is impossible for a human to maintain their life and sanity in. This association of isolation with inevitable death and gloom is one of the key ideas in the text that is presented to the…
A theory written by Plato, ‘The Allegory of The Cave’ explains the concern of human perception. Plato differentiates between people who mistake sensory knowledge for the truth and people who really do see the truth. The material world is just partial pictures of true images. Relying on physical senses alone, makes you “effectively blind”, according to Socrates. The world we see is a reflection of what the world represents, not a very accurate representation. Plato claimed that, “Knowledge…
For example, Katniss is awoken by the sound of other tributes running away from the sudden fire that set the arena ablaze. “The flames that bear down on me have an unnatural height, a uniformity that marks them as human-made, machine-made, Gamemaker-made. Things have been too quiet today. No deaths, perhaps no fights at all. The audience in the Capitol will be getting bored, claiming that these Games are verging on dullness. This is the one thing the Games must not…
