Human physical appearance

The principle that all events, including human actions or the environmental changes are ultimately determined by the causes regarded as external to the wheel and nothing is predetermined. Based on the assumptions which are constrained contradicts the idea of empowerment and minimizes the importance of human action and decision making, because a person is morally responsible for his conduct. Determinism is the modern name coined in the nineteenth century instead of Democritus, similarly the…

The greatest human triumph is human society itself. We are granted with expansive intellect, which we use to continually improve our condition. We are given profound compassion by which we can relay our feelings and experiences to those around us. Humans have a dire need to be accepted, which drives the fortification of community. However, people strengthen their communities until they have a resolute identity, creating an intrinsic exclusiveness within social groups. Ostracism and a lack of…

understand that the Beast “had chosen to live in an uninhabited place” (69). Because of his differences, he chooses to live in a place where he rarely encounters society, however he still inflicts societal norms on himself as he wants to resemble a normal human. Beauty who also inflicts societal norms upon herself sympathizes with him. Thus, she develops more compassion for the Beast, enabling her to feel “the annihilating vehemence of his eyes” (77). The connotation that relates to…

found an article by Sarah Zielinski with the title, “The Glow-In-The-Dark Kitty: A fluorescent green cat could help in the fight against AIDS.” “The ultimate goal of this line of research, though, is to figure out how to make humans resistant to HIV, the virus that causes human AIDS.” Aside from cats that glow and according to the article many other animals, the project has a bigger purpose of making it posable to eliminate or correct the virus. Imagining the endless possibilities of being able…

Early in the semester, my roommate and I were discussing one of her experiences on the UVM debate team. She had been having trouble with an arrogant member on her team and was describing her frustration to me, when her boyfriend interjected “He thinks he can be a jerk because he’s black, that doesn’t make it okay be a douche.” To avoid confrontation with essentially a stranger I uncomfortably exchanged looks with my roommate and quickly changed the subject. Four months later, I’ve come to…

Harrison Bergeroen or 2081 has an interesting concept that mainly focuses about equality in the society. People must be forced to be equal to one another in their appearances, behaviors, and achievements by using physical and mental handicaps. The purpose is to protect the self-esteem of less-beautiful, less-talented, less intelligent people, so that those who exceed the standard would not be able to threat or hurt others. After I read the story, the first set of questions that came to my mind…

The second “wolf” in this story is drastically subtler than the outwardly terrifying worm creature, this wolf is less physical and more conceptual. This ferocious and terrifying “wolf” is the universally known terrible feeling that we call grief. Grief is defined as “keen mental suffering or distress over affliction or loss; sharp sorrow; painful regret.” This definition fits perfectly with the story presented in Emily Carroll’s “Through the Woods” in the short story “The Nesting Place”. Our…

One of the first uses of genetic engineering for humans was when scientists altered the genome of bacteria and yeast to create human insulin from Type 1 Diabetes patients. The use of this technology has now grown to foods, other animals, and most important-humans. As scientists are researching these technologies and possible uses, there are many ethical implications and concerns that must be explored and…
