Brave But Not So New World “It is in the nature of the medium [television] that it must suppress the content of ideas in order to accommodate the requirements of visual interest; that is to say, to accomodate the values of show business.” This quote from Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death shows how current day media is suppressing the content for entertainment purposes. Similar ideas are shared in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, in which he created a dystopia where people are born into a…

(Crowe, Leclerc, Struger, & Brown, 2011). This study reduced the size of Phragmites by 90%, although it did not eradicate the invasive species, the reduction in size is a good control measure (Crowe et al., 2011). The herbicides used in this study, Roundup® or Rodeo®, do have toxic effect to aquatic life which is why the herbicides were diluted in the study…

Browning opens the book describing Major Wilhelm Trapp’s orders on the day of July thirteen, 1942, once Police Battalion 101 committed its 1st major killing within the Polish city of Jozefow. The next chapter then sets up the question that Browning can address: “How did a battalion of old reserve policemen notice themselves facing the task of shooting someone, 500 Jews within the Polish village of Jozefow within the summer of 1942?” . After this Brown sets up the next chapters, 2 through 6,…

Genetically modified organism (GMO) is living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering, and they are the source of genetically modified foods that contained corn, soybeans, and sugar beets. Insulin, the typical medication treatment for diabetes, was the first GMO products; rennet, an enzyme that is use to make cheese, is the first approved GMO product for food use. Also, consumers can easily find GMO ingredients in food…

Over the span of 35 years, our society has developed research towards Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).These organisms have provided many benefits to the society through nutritional value and over the years of being developed, there have been negative theories that have arisen in the eyes of skeptics. Although there are many legitimate concerns toward GMOs, labeling and regulating Genetically Modified Organisms can alert customers of the dangers and decrease negativity by informing them of…

A man with many female friends is a ‘player’ whereas a woman with many male friends is promiscuous. A female who speaks her mind is rudely intrusive, but one who does not is naive. People that dress up are conceited yet people that dress comfortably are slobs. Stereotyping: everyone does it and everyone is a victim of it. It is not necessarily a conscious decision but rather a habit people have developed in order to simplify their social surroundings. Labels are given to everyone and…

Genetically modified organism are organisms made up of genetically engineered products created in scientific laboratories. Their compounds consist of matter ranging from animals, plants, bacterial, and genes that are not native to the conditions or environments in which they would reside in. Genetic modification allows scientists to abstract the genes of one gene and inject them into another organism. GMO crops are nothing new to many households. They are sold by the thousands, and are not…

GMO foods are such an embedded part of our food system these days, but it’s not difficult to think back to a time when food was simpler and healthier. Although GMO 's have a been around for thousands of years, when new discoveries arrived at the tip of our hands in the early 1980s, a conflict over ethics, health, and long-term environmental safety have become the main issue of concern for many. The ongoing debate over genetically modified organisms can get brutal at times, and most often, very…

Popular mythology depicts cowboys crooning soft lullabies to cattle on open ranges, singing old familiar songs and hymns, or creating new songs or verses to existing songs in the long dark hours of the night. While this image is highly romanticized, the association between music and the cowboy is not entirely unfounded. For cowboys, recollections from actual workers or witnesses have been recorded long before singing became a profession, recorded, or played on the radio and film because…

World War II was the deadliest war fought in history as it ranked up the highest number of casualties. A majority of the deaths were a result of the most horrific event in history, the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a genocide led by Nazi German ruler, Adolf Hitler, and his alliances. During the Holocaust, about six million Jewish people in Europe were imprisoned in concentration camps and murdered. The people who were ordered to carry out the genocide are viewed as evil beings. In his book,…
