Selection

The underlying reason that we as humans cannot follow the advice of Jesus of Nazareth is that we are selfish. What this quote is saying is that what ever action or item you would want to get from someone you should return something of equal value. Having that sense of equal reciprocity is against human nature. Throughout the history of human evolution, it is the selfish ones that survive (Dawkins 2006) . Selfishness goes along with competition with both starting very early in our evolutionary…

An Overview of the Determinant of the Genomic Diversity Genetic diversity provides variation in which that selection can act upon and it determines the response of population towards environmental change. Therefore, knowledge in genetic diversity is crucial for developing breeding strategies and also for the management of endangered species. Understanding the determinant genetic diversity is also essential for resolving the long-standing riddle in population genetics, the disproportionately…

In 2004, the National Health and Medical Research Council (‘NHMRC’) banned sex selection on moral and social grounds, except in the case of a serious genetic condition. However, recent debates in Australia have led the NHMRC to consider the prospect of lifting the life ban. It is inherent in such a culturally diverse society that the public cannot reach one consensus. While some believe that sex selection is unethical for ‘moral’ purposes, others believe that it is an ethical means of hindering…

of the criminal justice system are deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, and restoration. Those goals are significant in formulating all policies as well as the two predominating hate crime statutes in the country today, the discriminatory selection model and the racial animus model. The fundamental purpose of creating hate crime statutes is to ensure the equal protection and freedom of members of the protected groups. The two statutes are rooted from two theories of punishment. On one…

analyse the recruitment and selection process of this organisation, a comparison with available literature must be made. By doing so the differences in the policies of the Bibliotheek Arnhem and the best practises from within the literature will surface – or not if there are none –. After these potential differences are pointed out, a recommendation is given on how to improve these factors. To start off, some of the really strong points of the recruitment and selection processes within these…

The Selection Out of thirty five people, one will remain. They all are fighting for your attention, love, but most importantly you. One after another they start to go. Leading you closer to your mate. This is how Prince Maxon Schreave and Princess Eadlyn Schreave felt. They both had to go through the pageant. There are thirty five contestants chosen from the factions. The Selection series relates to the Divergent series due to the factions. This pageant helps them to find their mate. But there…

Jury selection begins in the community, forming a panel or venire. It starts before potential jurors arrive at the courthouse, as officials assemble a panel, or venire, of prospective jurors. All states and government have their own procedure for determining the panel but there is a general rule that they all follow. The selection must neither systematically eliminate nor underrepresent and subgroups of the population. As recently as fifty years ago the jury was comprised of homogeneous,…

In the books The selection series by Kiera Cass the main character, America, changes throughout the books The Selection, The Elite, and The One due to her feeling for the prince. For example,before she entered the selection she was poor and intolerant.”Our money was stretched as tight a high wire,and our income was highly dependent on the season”(Cass 3).This quote is indicating that they are poor because when people say money is tight it usually means that don't have much of it,and…

Natural selection is a concept that has long since interested me, I consider it to mean “survival of the fittest”. Thus, looking upon this title, I deduced that the metaphor, which is used for comparison, implies the following principles of natural selection apply to knowledge development: there is variation in knowledge, the ‘fittest’ knowledge is most suitably adapted to the environment, and superseded knowledge is not fit to survive. Questions and doubts thereby arise: What is meant by the…

Artificial Selection of Gattaca In the “near future”, society has unequally categorized humans into the altered embryos; perfect humans and “faith babies”, the less than perfect humans. In the movie Gattaca, only the superior humans have vast career opportunities and places to fit in life. The lead character, Vincent, dreams of becoming an astronaut, but is unable to because he isn’t a perfect human. In a society like this, many issues would form. The idea of natural selection and…
