National Science Foundation

Vannevar Bush stated that scientific research is absolutely essential to national security, that war requires the most advanced scientific techniques. Bush pushed for colleges, universities, and research institutes to conserve the knowledge from the past and to teach that knowledge to students of the future. These institutes should be strengthened by use of public funds in order to better aid in the development of new scientific knowledge. He realized that the potential of underprivileged men and women who had taken interest in science was cut short by inability to pay for more schooling. In response, Bush pushed for undergraduate and graduate fellowships for those in the science career fields. Under these programs, the students would have to enroll in the National Science Reserve and if needed, be called to duty in the event of war. Within this push for scientific education, Bush wanted to search for those men and women who had a talent for science, these included those who were called to duty. Bush stated that “Our ability to overcome possible future enemies depends upon scientific advances which will proceed more rapidly with the fusion of…

the last stanza, Hughes wrote “Beautiful, also, is the sun (5)… Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people (6)…”, he compares his people to the sun, which mirrors the dignity and brilliance of their souls (Osbourne and Boghani, 2014). In addition, here in this stanza the sun is used to imply the symbols of strength and courage. When it is compared to the souls of the African American people, Hughes is trying to tell that the souls of “his people” are brilliant just like the sunshine. Their…

beauty of a building you should look at; it’s the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time,’ was a famous quote by David Allen Coe, quote provided by blogger guy (2015).

Bruno Latour manifests that humans are “all members of the Parliament of things”- life a community. He highlights that science, society, and elements of nature are interconnected. Latour wants to view the relationship between society and nature not as a “theory”, but as a “practice”6. By considering that society, science, and the environment are all interconnected, the wilderness is an experience as it is a part of everyone’s life. Aldo Leopold also proposes a similar idea through a land ethic.…
