Take a Stand (Rough Draft) “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” (enforced by President Eisenhower, 1954). The Pledge of Allegiance should not include the phrase "under God," considering that America is not a religion based country. Based on the constitution, religion is only mentioned twice as respect but not to honor it. In this day in age equality is a…

This normally is a result of the baby having a genetic defect. In modern times with advanced technology, doctors can determine whether the child will be born with a genetic defect or not. Some genetic defects include down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, and Tay-Sachs. Many of these defects greatly decrease the child’s life expectancy and quality of life. For example, a child with Tay-Sachs is only expected to live for four to five years. Also, those with cystic fibrosis can…

Ethical dilemmas commonly faced in the nursing profession arises when nurses are at crossroads with moral ideologies and competing demands of miscellaneous parties—that is, the client’s desires, the physician’s orders, the family’s demands, bureaucracy of the hospital, the law, and the nurse’s physical and emotional limitations (Chambliss, 1996, p. 93). One common ethical issue encountered in clinical settings is the interjection of advance directives to the nurse’s innate duty to care.…

In modern molecular biology and genetics, the genome is the genetic material of an organism. It consists of DNA (or RNA in RNA viruses). The genome includes both the genes and the non-coding sequences of the DNA/RNA. Understanding Human Genetic Variation Genetics is the scientific study of inherited variation. Human genetics, then, is the scientific study of inherited human variation. We study genetic material due to following reasons; 1. One reason is simply an interest in better understanding…

Genes that are inherited include klinefelter’s syndrome, down syndrome, color blindness, sickle cell diseases and many more and these influence our behaviour in the environment because our action determine the reaction we get. Every human and nonhuman inherits specific traits unique to ones own genetic code including our pattern of disposition…

Dear High School Administrators and Members of the PTA, How would you feel if you were playing a sport you love but then work so hard for it you wind up getting so hurt you will never be able to play again? Or what if you actually hate the sport but your parents want you to play and then you get so hurt it affects you for the rest of your life. Sports in high schools have always been a thing and they should absolutely not be. Students can get seriously injured and have life threatening…

In 1933 when Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office, he passed a series of documents called the New Deal. These documents were created in hope to push recovery in America and pull it out of the Great Depression. This New Deal supplied workers with jobs by creating government funded works projects to help better develop the country. Many of these jobs were specifically directed to artists. Before this time never before in history have artists been considered "workers". But because of the New Deal,…

For the past 7 million years, humans have found methods of survival. From the beginning of the human race, until agriculture is discovered and introduced, hunting, gathering, and scavenging was the only viable strategy of getting food (Weisdorf, 2005). These methods have evolved over time as either food supplies increased, decreased or disappeared. There wasn't a choice but to adapt to their surroundings to survive. From the beginning until about 10,000 years ago, hunting and gathering appeared…

PCR application in the identification of genetic disorder: The Polymerase chain reaction technology has been most commonly used to amplify the gene segments which contain kenned mutations for diagnosis of inherited diseases like beta thalassemia, sickle-cell anemia,cystic fibrosis,etc. 4. PCR is especially useful for the prenatal diagnosis of inherited diseases where cells obtain from fetus by amniocentesis,etc. 5.Detection of infectious diseases; Example: tuberculosis,AIDS. Principles of…

Ancient Greece Culture Ancient Greece has impacted modern day in many ways such as: our clothes, architecture, and ways of doing things. We adapted many of Greece’s culture. I plan to focus my attention on the food aspect of Greece and what they did. Many of the common foods ancient Greece associated with is similar to Greece’s lifestyle now. Agriculture helped significantly with Greek economy. Almost 80% of the population used agriculture as part of their culture. Agriculture gave Greece many…
