It is for the procreation of future generations, and for the betterment of our children, not our sexual preferences in that matter. Throughout this paper, I will apply two arguments against moral objectivism: Argument From Disagreement and Modus Pollens, and why they are unsound in relation to same-sex marriage being morally wrong. In today’s society, there are families that are of the same-sex, and that is not the ideal environment to raise a child. Kids who are raised in a same sex family tend…
Overview of Environmental Allergies Environmental allergies are the allergies that live in our environments. If you have ever gone outside and immediately felt your allergies act up, then it is highly likely that you have one or more environmental allergies. The symptoms of environmental allergies are similar to normal allergies. These symptoms include: • Itchy and watery eyes • Clogged nose • Congestion • Sniffles • Coughing • Sneezing • Itching It is hard to avoid our environmental…
South America, Australia, and Antarctica had a warm dry climate that included flowering plants that attracted the bees so they could collect the pollen. These flowering plants produced nectar and provided carbohydrates to these winged insects. Over time the honey bee developed its morphologies changed to collect pollen by its increased fuzziness, pollen baskets, longer tongues and more colonies to store supplies. Forty million years ago Gondwana broke apart and temperatures cooled dramatically…
It is a world in a hundred million objects. Commissioned by Ai Weiwei, “Sunflower Seeds”, is a 1,000 square meter room laid out with 100 million porcelain seeds, with approximately a depth of 10 centimeters, at the east end of the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern in London. Each seeds appears to be the same, but each seed is actually unique. After a 30 step procedure, each seed was moulded, fired at 1,300 degrees, hand painted, and fired again in the Chinese city of Jingdezhen, (a town whose…
experiment – “People-seeds” – suggests the metaphor that foetuses are like pollen, drifting through the air, and if you were to own a window they make take root in your home. Although you may have a mesh screen in place to prevent the pollen entering, that there is a chance that the pollen make get through the screen – should it be defective; and take root anyway. Thompson does not find that you are morally required to let said pollen grow in your home due to the defective screen, as the…

are Slowly Killing Bees states: “Zayed said. Flowers miles away from a farm can take up the chemicals, which seep into the stems, leaves, pollen and nectar.” This states that the neonicotinoids make their way to the flower also, infecting the nectar and pollen. When the bees come to the flower, they drink the infected nectar, and can carry the infected pollen back to the…
lungs. This can make it hard to breathe and cause you to cough or breathe loudly (wheeze). What are the causes? Possible triggers include: Animal dander from the skin, hair, or feathers of animals. Dust mites contained in house dust. Cockroaches. Pollen from trees or grass. Mold. Cigarette or tobacco smoke. Air pollutants such as dust, household cleaners, hair sprays, aerosol sprays, paint fumes, strong chemicals, or strong odors. Cold air or weather changes. Cold air may trigger inflammation.…
important feature in insects, specially for bees and butterflies, it helps them with the pollination process which is necessary for the future of our food. Bees can fly to smaller areas and transfer pollen between any flowers , unlike butterflies where they can fly to longer distances but do not pick up much pollen on their bodies and only land…
Coevolution of Hummingbirds and Ornithophilous flowers Coevolution is a situation where two parties are able to evolve to satisfy each other’s needs. In this particular case we are going to talk about the coevolution of hummingbirds and ornithophilous flowers. Plants are one of the most important species in our world. Mainly it helps us breathe that very fresh air we have today. Although it may seem to be impossible for one to think a simple plant can help us breathe. It is also another species…
